Chapter 33 Buying a Mule Cart
Mrs. Liu took Shen Yunyao to buy mules, leaving the children at home.
When she arrived at the livestock market, Shen Yunyao made an excuse and hid in a corner wearing smart glasses to secretly observe which mules were in good health.
Shen Yunyao identified several targets and asked the clerk for the price. After comparison, she finally made a choice and finally bought a mule for eleven taels.
They bought a pallet truck from a nearby lumber shop.
With Shen Yunyao's plug-in, they save a lot of time in choosing and shopping.
"The cloth is cheaper here, much cheaper than in the town, so why not buy some." Shen Yunyao took Ms. Liu into a cloth shop.
Mrs. Liu picked a piece of fine cotton, and Shen Yunyao picked two more pieces. She was going to pay. Mrs. Liu went to pay first.
"Second sister-in-law?" Ms. Liu couldn't believe it. She didn't expect to see her here, and she also heard the second sister-in-law talking about collecting money from the shopkeeper.
Qian was very surprised, and after the surprise, she felt a little panicked inside.
Even when she was collecting money from her shop, she could meet someone from the third family, and she didn't know how much she heard from her. It was really unlucky!
She quickly suppressed her emotions and said with a smile: "Ah, my brothers and sisters! Are you here to buy cloth?"
Mrs. Liu said: "Yes, this shop belongs to your family? I didn't expect my second brother to be so capable. The shop has even opened in the county. We will go back to the village after lunch. Do you want to go back together?"
She didn't expect that her second brother's family was an invisible wealthy family. They must have hidden a lot of secrets when her parents-in-law were around.
The smile on Qian's face froze for a moment, then regained its smile, "Hey, it's a small business just to support the family. I won't go back with you if I have something else to do."
She knew that Mrs. Liu had just heard it, hum!
When Mrs. Liu saw Qian, she thought about the fields and pulled Qian aside to whisper.
Ms. Liu looked straight into Mr. Qian's eyes and asked, "After the separation, did you still have the deed of the paddy field in your hand?"
Mrs. Qian lowered his head slightly and patted his sleeves as if wiping away dust. He took the opportunity not to make eye contact with Mrs. Liu, "Here, what's wrong?"
Ms. Liu said: "I went to buy land, and coincidentally, our twenty acres of land were actually put up for sale.
Oh, when we separated, the land deeds were all in the hands of my eldest brother. At that time, I was promised that the land deeds would be given to me when my child's father came back. Now they have actually sold the land I deserved.
Do you think we should go to them?
When you get home, we will make an appointment to talk to my elder brother and sister-in-law together."
She knew that what her eldest brother was saying was what her parents-in-law had told her to do. They were afraid that she would run away with the money and leave the children alone. So she tolerated it.
Qian couldn't hold back his smile and said, "This is really unreasonable, but maybe there's something else hidden. Maybe the eldest brother accidentally lost it."
Mrs. Liu also knew that everything now was just speculation, and said, "Then just go to them directly. The truth will be revealed by then."
Shen Yunyao listened to the whole process. She didn't pay much attention to this matter before, so she didn't know what was going on.
After buying a cart full of things and returning home, Mrs. Liu discussed the matter of dividing the land.
My mother-in-law was originally from a wealthy family in the town, but she married hastily when her family fell into decline.
They had twenty acres of land in their names, eight acres of land were given to the eldest brother, and six acres to each of the second and third sons.
Ms. Liu always felt that many things had been strange in the past month or so. For example, she didn't know that her second brother's family had a shop in the county town, and her daughter's paintings were sold at such high prices.
Fortunately, she is not greedy and allows her daughter to do whatever she wants. She firmly believes that children and grandchildren will have their own blessings.
After lunch, Ms. Liu set off on her mule. There was half space in the car to store the shopping, and the rest of the space to sit people.
The children were all sitting on the cart, shouting and singing excitedly.
Their village generally raises cattle, and even if they raise cattle, not more than five fingers of people buy the cattle.
In the village, their family was the first to buy a mule.
It was already evening when they arrived at the village. Many people came out to enjoy the cool air, and someone saw their mule cart.
Shen Yunyao believed that the news spread quickly in the village, and sure enough, the next day everyone in the village knew that the family had bought a mule cart.
In the early morning, there were crowds of visitors inside and outside the courtyard. Some people even asked: "Daughter-in-law, Gao Feng, do you want to use your mule cart today? If not, lend it to me for a day."
Mrs. Liu smiled and said: "My mule cart usually takes people to towns and counties. It costs one penny per person. If you rent the cart for a day, it will cost you fifty penny a day."
This was what she and her eldest daughter had discussed last night. This newly purchased car was suitable for transporting guests.
Shen Yunyao only mentioned it last night, but she didn't expect anyone to actually ask it today.
"Are you obsessed with money? Who doesn't lend things to each other? You are the only one who still wants money!"
Shen Yunyao smiled lightly and said: "Are you someone who pays back as soon as you use it? Are you someone who borrowed money for half a year? Then why do you think my family is so greedy for money? When it comes to being greedy for money, no one can compare to me. Over your house."
Those who ask them are cannon fodder pushed out by others.
This man's name is Shen Yunsheng, and he has three older sisters. Although his family is poor, he is the favorite of the whole family. But this man has to rely on himself in everything he does. The villagers nicknamed him "Sheng Laizi".
When others saw that the cannon fodder was dead, they did not dare to step forward, so they did not dare to continue testing.
Shen Yunhao used to always talk about things about Lai Zi's family, and Shen Yunyao knew about those things.
She felt that Lai Zi was quite loyal and shared all the money he earned from Lai Zi with others.
Give him a chance!
Shen Yunyao said: "Brother Yunsheng, my family is short of a mule driver, can you drive it?"
Shen Yunsheng felt very embarrassed. He had just made trouble for someone, but they backhandedly found him a job.
He wiped his face, rubbed his face, and then said with a smile: "I can drive and am willing to do it!"
He intuitively felt that this was an opportunity!
"Oh, who can't you find? You have to find the right person. Have you forgotten that your two families had a big quarrel not long ago? Is this to appear noble? You really know how to be a good person!" Someone sarcastically said.
"Hey, that's not right. It's up to others to decide when they want to. What's the use of saying this!"
…
Many people were talking about it.
Shen Yunyao told Madam Liu that she was too noisy, but Madam Liu shouted louder and asked everyone to leave.
After finally sending these people away, Shen Yunyao couldn't help but drink a bowl of water, and poured a bowl for Mrs. Liu.
She didn't expect the response to be so big. There were no entertainment programs at this time and everyone was busy, but no matter who had the slightest thing to do, they would go and watch the fun.
After resting for a while, Shen Yunyao recalled that Zhuzhu taught her a set of sword skills last night.
She is already proficient in the basic sword moves she practiced in space and only needs to be tested in actual combat.
Zhuzhu suggested that she go to the mountains to practice, so that she could not only hunt but also practice actual combat.
Shen Yunyao thinks this idea is a good one and will wait for the opportunity to implement it.
She also asked An Shi to keep an eye on Shen Yunyan. Shen Yunyan tried to kill her over and over again. Although nothing happened in the end, the reason was unknown and she felt uneasy.
But An Shi's master told him that if she gave instructions to do something, she would have to pay ten taels a day.
Shen Yunyao gritted her teeth and endured the pain, spending a hundred taels and keeping an eye on it for ten days.
"Miss Shen, there was something unusual about the target person yesterday." An Shi appeared after Shen Yunyao returned to her room.
"What's abnormal?"
"This morning, your second aunt met Shen Yunyan alone and talked for a long time."
