Chapter 1026 Yu Jingting and Suizi were both outwitted at the same time
Jinnan led Suizi and her husband back to the Hu Family, where she now had her own Courtyard. Old Master Hu was very righteous towards this goddaughter who seemed to have fallen from the sky; of course, the value Jinnan created for him was also an important factor in determining her status.
In Jianghu, loyalty is respected.
But profit is valued even more.
These unspoken mutual benefits were well understood and properly arranged, which in turn made for lasting relationships.
"You guys can rest here. There is a pool in the backyard where you can soak—just carve out a Jade Plate from this rock to cover the cleaning costs of the pool for me."
Jinnan said, touching the rock that Suizi won in her bet.
That was obviously a joke. Such a large rock could produce dozens or even hundreds of pieces; even if Jinnan didn’t ask, Suizi would select the best ones to give her a full set. One piece? That’s what you give to beggars!
"Hey, when did you become so stingy, charging for a bit of water?" Yu Jingting also joked with her.
Jinnan looked Suizi and Yu Jingting up and down with eyes filled with disdain: "The dirt that rubs off you two might just clog my drain, so it’s only right to charge a bit."
The insult was small, but the humiliation was strong; Suizi’s face turned red.
There was no helping it; her current attire was indeed shabby.
