Scum Man Cannot Redeem Himself - Chapter 155

Chapter 155

Ning Qing was placed in a mansion in Fuqing City, where she had been staying for three days and was currently bored reading a book.

What a rare moment of leisure!

Outside the window, it started snowing, drifting like a curtain of snow, and soon the ground was white. There was a considerable snowfall.

She put down the book and went to the window. She couldn’t help but remember what her mother had said to her in the carriage.

Her mother said, “It’s one thing after another, and it’s a lot of damage to First Sight.”

She replied, “What’s silver compared to human life?”

Mother said, “Flower Boss’s house is too complicated.”

She replied, “He could make it simple.”

Her mother said, “Go back to the house with Jili! A good girl doesn’t marry two husbands, and besides ……”

Her mother did not finish her words, and she did not reply.

After a moment, her mother said again, “This year’s New Year, your father, brothern sister-in-law, and several nephews will come back to pay respects to their ancestors. Looking at your wretched state today, how could they return to the capital next year with peace of mind?”

Perhaps in the eyes of her parents, not having a family was living a wretched life, and divorce was a great embarrassment. Not living with her man made her parents uncomfortable. Without a child, her life was flawed.

The woman doing things that society did and living by the book of virtue was called living a complete life.

The snow fell for two days and two nights, covering up all the colors of the past.

Ning Qing was standing under the porch watching the snow when a tree branch in the courtyard suddenly snapped, making a dull sound, and the snow on the tree fell to form a snow mist.

At that moment, a knock sounded at the door of the mansion.

Who was not? Could it be Flower Boss? The thought that it might be him brought a sweetness to her heart.

The shopkeeper stepped over the snow to open the door and came in.

Ning Qing was slightly disappointed.

However, he came in the snow, and must have urgent business. The only person who knew about her fraudulent death was the boss, just in case something happened to ‘First Sight’.

Ning Qing entered the main hall and asked her servants to make hot tea for him to ward off the cold, “Please have a seat, Mr. He.”

She sat in the main seat, and Boss He sat at the bottom of the right hand side.

Perhaps it was because of the cold on the road, he drank the hot tea in a few sips.

Putting down the tea, Boss He spoke, “Master, I didn’t want to disturb you. But the matter is urgent, so I have to come.”

Ning Qing eyebrows wrinkled, “Please tell me, Boss He.”

He said, “The marrow is gone.”

The marrow was an important ingredient for the lipstick, and First Sight had always used the top grade marrow, which was often out of stock in the market.

The other day she had discussed with Boss He about the quantity of marrow to keep up with production but did not expect that there was still a mistake on it.

“Aren’t the goods from Flower Boss’s side supposed to arrive a few days earlier?”

He pointed outside and said, “It’s because of the snowstorm. The official road is closed, and the goods are blocked in Li Zhou.”

Li Zhou and Su City were separated by several mountains. The mountain road was not good, it was easy to cause an accident, the official road must be closed.

If it was good weather, the goods would reach Clear Water village in three days. But the road was closed. She didn’t know when the snow would stop. They had to wait for it to stop and then melt, no less than five days to seven days.

At present, First Sight did not stop working because of the rotten face inciden. They were still processing a large number of products to make up.

Stopping a day of work for them was a great loss, and it was the peak season for the sale, because soon there would be the New Year. If they miss the season, they would have to wait another year.

First Sight had a lot of work every day to catch up.

“Have you been to the other herbalists?” Ning Qing asked.

Boss He, “Two days earlier, we received a letter and began to ask around, but the marrow is a scarce commodity. These days, they went out of stock from every herb merchant. Even if there is some, it’s only a little. The quality is not up to the requirements.”

First Sight was traumatized, the material must not be of poor quality.

“Why are there no goods in any household?” This was really rare.

Boss He said, “I went to inquire. A few other small merchants deliberately hoarded goods, because not only Fuqing City, the entire South is under these areas in the snowstorm. They got the news that cattle marrow would be in short supply. So these small merchants began to hoard goods, emptied the market and then put high prices on sale, ready to profit from it. “

Ning Qing shook her head speechless.

Boss He continued, “Now the whole Fuqing City has no top quality cattle marrow. It can only be brought from the hands of those who hoard it at high prices.”

“Did you find out the price?” Ning Qing inquired.

He held out two fingers and said, “I’ve inquired, it’s this amount.”

It was seven or eight times the original.

She would not be able to pay.

Boss He sighed and lamented, “Originally, I still knew where I could find some, but it’s a pity that Flower Boss is not here. Now there is no way.”

“How?” Ning Qing looked at Boss He suspiciously.
