After exiting the Embroidery Shop, Mo Xiaoyan suddenly thought of a problem. Should she take the carriage back this time or the oxcart back?
"Brother, should we drive the carriage back or the ox-cart back?" Mo Xiaoyan was a bit conflicted.
"Do you want to take the carriage or the oxcart? "I'll listen to you." It did not matter if Mo Linyu rode on the carriage or an ox carriage, the key would only be Mo Xiaoyan.
"Shall we take a carriage then? You ran much faster than an oxcart, and you'll save a lot of time when you go back. " In the end, Mo Xiaoyan decided to take a carriage.
"Alright, then I'll listen to your carriage." Mo Linyu replied.
The three of them drove the carriage back to the village. The journey back was much more comfortable than when they were riding on the ox-cart. It was no longer bumpy and they were able to move much faster.
Once they arrived at the village, there were many villagers watching Mo Xiaoyan's horse carriage. On the way home, Mo Linyu drove the horse carriage and from time to time, he would greet the villagers.
Some of them were looking at the carriage that Mo Linyu was driving with a face full of envy, while others were looking at the carriage with doubt, with all sorts of expressions and thoughts.
"Lin Yu, whose family are you driving this carriage to?" On the side of the road, a middle-aged man who was carrying a hoe and about to go down to the ground to work asked loudly when he saw Mo Linyu rushing over with a carriage.
"Uncle, this is our carriage." Mo Linyu replied with a simple and honest smile.
The middle-aged man looked at the carriage carefully. It was clearly a new one.
"Is this really the carriage your family bought?" The middle-aged man asked doubtfully.
"Yeah, I just bought it." Since someone came to talk, Mo Linyu had no choice but to stop the horse carriage. Mo Xiaoyan, who was sitting in the horse carriage, was slightly anxious, as long as they walked around the village, she would not care, since they were almost at home.
"This will probably cost a lot of silver, right?" The middle-aged man said in envy.
"Yeah, I spent dozens of taels of silver." Mo Linyu answered honestly.
"Your family is living quite well these days. They can be considered one of the richest families in the village." The middle-aged man said.
"Hur hur, how could that be? It's only slightly better than before." Mo Linyu said humbly.
"I still have to work in the fields, so I won't disturb you." After saying that, the middle-aged man picked up his hoe and left.
Along the way, there were many people who came to visit the carriage, and finally, they reached home with much difficulty. The road in the village had delayed them for a long time, and Mo Xiaoyan sat in the carriage, bored to the point of falling asleep.
After returning home, Lady Li saw a horse carriage parked at the entrance and asked in surprise, "Whose horse carriage is this?"
"Mom, guess." Mo Xiaoyan said mischievously.
"Guess what? Just tell me directly." Lady Li was too lazy to guess.
"This is our carriage." Mo Xiaoyan said happily.
"That's impossible, right? How could this carriage belong to our family?" The Lady Li obviously did not believe him.
"Really? If you don't believe me, ask Dad and Big Brother." Mo Xiaoyan said somewhat speechlessly.
"The child's father, whose family does this carriage belong to?" Lady Li directly asked Mo Dalin.
"This carriage really belongs to our family." Mo Dalin said with certainty.
"That's impossible, right? This carriage is so expensive. Can we afford it?" The Lady Li still appeared to be half-believing and half-doubting.
"Mother, it's true, I just bought this carriage, Xiaoyan bought it." Mo Linyu also said with certainty.
"How much money did you spend?" Lady Li first wanted to know the price.
"40 silver coins." Mo Xiaoyan replied.
"So expensive?" When the Lady Li heard this number, she was very surprised. Why was it more expensive than an oxcart by dozens of silver taels?
"That's about the price for the carriage." Mo Dalin also followed along, so he knew the approximate price, it was only a normal horse, and the better one cost at least a hundred taels of silver, which most people could not afford.
"I have to go take a good look." Lady Li walked over to take a closer look at the newly bought carriage, never thinking that her own house would also have a carriage.
Lady Li originally thought that having an ox-cart at home was already good enough, but she never thought that she would even buy a carriage.
Just a moment ago, Liu Yuemei was coaxing Mo Dongxue to sleep, and now that Mo Dongxue had just fallen asleep, Liu Yuemei had also come out from her room.
"Yuemei, come over quickly and take a look. We're buying a carriage." Lady Li stood by the side of the horse carriage and waved towards Liu Yuemei, allowing him to come and see.
When Liu Yuemei saw the carriage, she was also very shocked. She really did not expect that there would be a carriage at home, wouldn't it be convenient and fast for him to leave in the future?
In just a few short years, the change was too huge. First, he bought an ox cart, then built a new house and now, he bought a carriage, the biggest contribution was definitely Mo Xiaoyan's.
"This carriage is really good." Liu Yuemei was very happy looking at the carriage.
"That's right, we finally have a carriage." Lady Li felt that in the past few years, there had been many people who had fawned on their family. In the past, when their families were poor, these people would meet them on the streets and pretend not to see them.
If they were to meet each other on the road now, it would be too enthusiastic, and Lady Li was not used to it.
"Mother, how much silver does this carriage cost?" It's definitely not cheap, right? " Liu Yuemei also wanted to ask about the price of the carriage.
"That's right, it's much more expensive than an ox-cart, Xiaoyan said she spent over 40 taels of silver." Lady Li felt pain in her heart whenever she mentioned money.
"So expensive?" Hearing that it was worth a few dozen silver, Liu Yuemei was obviously surprised. She only knew that the carriage was expensive, but she never expected it to be so expensive.
"Sister-in-law, we will slowly earn back in the future anyway." Mo Xiaoyan walked over and said.
"I will definitely earn this back in a long time. These few dozen taels of silver are not a small amount." Lady Li said with pain in her heart.
"Xiaoyan, what happened to your hand?" Mo Xiaoyan was currently standing beside Liu Yuemei, and coincidentally, when Liu Yuemei looked over, she saw the injured hand of Mo Xiaoyan.
"Hehe, it's fine, I got a little injury." Mo Xiaoyan said with a smile.
"Xiaoyan, show me your hand." In the beginning, Lady Li did not even notice Mo Xiaoyan's hand, she only felt pity for the person who bought the carriage, but now that Liu Yuemei had said it, Lady Li did.
"Mom, this is nothing." Mo Xiaoyan did not want to worry Lady Li too much.
"He's already like this, but he's still fine. It must be painful." Lady Li said with pain in her heart.
"Yesterday was painful, but after a night, it's not as painful as yesterday." Mo Xiaoyan did not want to make the Lady Li worry so much.
