Chapter 66 - Article 66 - Buying an ox cart
When the two of them returned home together, Mo Lin Yu had already returned and was washing his hands.
Lee's had already prepared food and was waiting for everyone to come back to eat together.
"Come back, sit down and eat." The Lee's said.
Mo Lin Yu also finished washing his hands and came in, he had just sat down and took a bite of the dish.
"Xiao Xia, how come I found out that your eyes were swollen? "What's wrong?" Mo Lin Yu saw it with his sharp eyes.
Mo Xiao Yan immediately snapped his words, he took another bite of the dish and said: "Just now, Second Sister was being chased by a mad dog, they were so scared that they cried."
Mo Xiao Xia remained silent and did not speak.
"Mom, I'm fine, I'm not hurt. Someone passed by and beat the dog away." Mo Xiao Xia said.
"It's good that you're not hurt. Hurry up and eat some more food." Lee's placed a few more chopsticks into Mo Xiao Xia's bowl.
After dinner, Mo Xiao Xia went to rest. The incident today must have given her a huge blow.
At night, after Mo Xiao Yan laid down, he did not sleep either.
"He's definitely going. Seeing how heavily injured Jiang Wen is today, I don't believe that he's still going to look for me." Mo Xiao Xia said angrily.
As usual, Mo Xiao Xia went to the Chen family every day, and Jiang Wen didn't come to find her.
's barbeque business had always been good as well. Lee's was happy as a flower every day.
He sold out early today and went back home after buying the things he needed for tomorrow.
After returning home, Mo Xiao Yan thought for a while and said: "Mother, I've thought about it, these past few days we've earned some money, I want to buy an oxcart."
Lee's was silent for a moment, then said: "I have thought about it, but I don't know how much that oxcart costs."
After all, Lee's was still worried about the money. Since Lee's also had his own plans, Mo Xiao Yan was relieved. After all, buying an ox cart was not a small thing.
"Xiao Yan, then let's check earlier tomorrow. If it's expensive, then we won't buy it." Mo Lin Yu said.
"Mm, that's fine too." Mo Xiao Yan promised.
Dong, dong, dong …
There were incessant knocks on the door, Mo Xiao Yan quickly ran out to open it.
"Come come come come come don't knock anymore" Mo Xiao Yan shouted.
When he opened the door, it was actually Yao Gui Hua. Before Mo Xiao Yan could react, Yao Gui Hua had already pushed him away and walked into the courtyard.
Just then, Lee's and Mo Lin Yu also came out, and seeing that it was Yao Gui Hua, Mo Lin Yu was obviously not happy.
"Elder sister-in-law, you're here. Come on in and have a seat." Lee's called out.
Yao Gui Hua coldly snorted, "Hmph, I didn't come here today to sit in your room."
"Then why did sister-in-law come here?" Lee's asked.
"How long has it been? You guys didn't bring the money over? Why did you want to change your mind? " Yao Gui Hua said as her saliva splattered all over the place.
"Aunt, wasn't the silver from last time not enough?" Mo Xiao Yan said.
"Just that little?" It's all been spent long ago, where else can we find it? " Yao Gui Hua spoke nonsense.
In a village, how could he spend so quickly? This Yao Gui Hua was clearly a stingy master, he would definitely not spend money so recklessly.
"Is that so? Five taels of silver is only that much in your house? It seems like your family isn't short on money. " Mo Xiao Yan did not give in.
"What did you say?" Those are all given to your male milk. " Yao Gui Hua opened her eyes and spoke nonsense.
"My male milk drinks porridge everyday. Is the current porridge worth that much?" Mo Xiao Yan retorted back at Yao Gui Hua.
"What nonsense are you talking, you little hoof?" Yao Gui Hua obviously did not admit it.
Right now, the family's income was all earned by Mo Xiao Yan, so Lee's did not make the decision on his own, and just stood at the side without saying anything.
"Aunt, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning by the curses that you open and close your mouth?" Mo Xiao Yan said word by word.
"You dare to curse me? I'll beat you to death!" With that, Yao Gui Hua pounced towards Mo Xiao Yan.
This time, Mo Lin Yu was at home, so he was unable to beat Mo Xiao Yan up.
Ye Zichen stood in the courtyard and cursed, but she didn't leave. He really didn't know how she could say so much. She didn't get tired even after scolding for a long time.
Seeing that there was really no other way, the Lee's didn't think it was good to kick him out, so he went to the kitchen to get some pork.
When Yao Gui Hua saw the meat, she immediately grabbed it and went back while cursing.
Mo Xiao Yan felt a headache coming on due to her loud voice. It was the first time he met with such a scene and he couldn't take it anymore. There was actually such a shameless person in this world.
"Mom, do you think she'll come back in a few days for more things?" Mo Xiao Yan asked.
"Sigh, we used to come here about once in a while to pick up stuff, and your father had already left. Otherwise, our family would have had to beg for food sooner or later." Lee's said helplessly.
It seemed that his family was too weak, which was why he was bullied.
When Mo Xiao Yan was working in the modern age, he was thinking of entering a large company. He wanted to do more work and build good relationships with his colleagues, so it would be easier for him to stay at a company. But the result was the opposite. His own weakness would be trampled on by others, and it was just that Mo Xiao Yan endured it the entire time.
"Then if it really doesn't work, let's bring the male milk over to live with us. This way, their family will have some excuse to come to our house and take the things they want." Mo Xiao Yan said.
"This matter isn't that simple. Let's wait for your father to come back before we speak." Lee's was angry at Old Master Mo because he was too biased.
After hearing what Lee's said, Mo Xiao Yan did not say anything else.
The next morning, after setting up the stall and Lee's was watching it by himself, Mo Xiao Yan and Mo Lin Yu went to look at the ox-cart.
When he arrived, he was a middle-aged uncle. Mo Xiao Yan wondered if he would randomly ask for a high price.
"Boss, we want to see an ox-cart." Mo Lin Yu walked into the house and said.
"Follow me." The middle-aged man led the way.
When they reached the back, Mo Lin Yu and Mo Xiao Yan could pick one out.
"How much is an oxcart?" Mo Xiao Yan was more concerned about the price.
"Is the little girl done looking?" The middle-aged uncle said with a smile.
"Mm, watch carefully." Mo Xiao Yan saw that it was about the same, but she didn't understand that either. Mo Lin Yu would definitely understand it better than his, so he would first ask about the price first.
"Twelve taels of silver for a cow and fifteen taels for a carriage."
Hearing this number, Mo Lin Yu was obviously shocked. A few dozen taels of silver was just too expensive, at first Mo Lin Yu thought that it should be around six to seven taels of silver, but in the end, it was more expensive than the budget.
Mo Xiao Yan also felt that it was a little expensive. Although he had earned some silver during this period of time, these silver coins were not a small amount.
