Chapter 67 - 67 - Questioning to the End
"Can it be any cheaper? Your price is really too high." Mo Lin Yu thought that if he was not cheap, he would go to another house to take a look.
"This price is already very cheap. You can go and check it out. If it's not, then you'll know whether I want a high price or not." The middle-aged man obviously didn't want to lower the price.
"How about this, ten silver taels?" Mo Xiao Yan thought that if Yun Che did not agree, he could add a little more details.
"Five liang less this time, that's out of the question. I have to support my family too, I can't do such a disgraceful business." The middle-aged man quickly shook his head.
"How about this, fourteen taels really can't be any less." It seemed like he wasn't willing to reduce the number.
"Forget it Xiao Yan, let's go and have a look elsewhere." Mo Lin Yu said as he prepared to leave.
Seeing that they were really leaving, the middle-aged uncle hurriedly called out, "Thirteen taels of silver, this price is already very cheap."
"Twelve taels. If you sell it, we will pay you right now. If you can't, we will go somewhere else." Mo Xiao Yan also did not give in.
Seeing that he really couldn't ask for a higher price, the middle-aged man painfully said, "Fine, I'll sell it to you for 12 taels of silver."
Mo Xiao Yan felt that the price was reasonable, so he paid the money and drove the oxcart back.
"Xiao Yan, I will bring the ox-cart to a place where no one can wait. When we close the stall, I will drive the ox-cart over so that we can put the things inside." Mo Lin Yu thought that there were a lot of people on the streets now, so he rushed over to an empty space and looked around.
"Alright, I'll go to the stall now."
After going over, there were a lot of people at the front of the stall. Lee's was almost unable to handle it all by himself, so Wang Da Cheng, who was selling buns at the side, helped out.
Lee's saw Mo Xiao Yan coming over, "Xiao Yan, come over and help me, Mother is so busy right now, it's great that you helped me out."
After Mo Xiao Yan came over, Wang Da Cheng went back home.
More and more people came, there were long queues at the back, and a lot of customers coming back as well. It seemed like this stall could no longer be used, Mo Xiao Yan had actually thought to rent a shop and open a barbeque shop after he earned enough money.
However, the few dilapidated mud houses that their families lived in required them to build a few decent houses, which was also worth quite a bit of money.
He was busy until the afternoon, causing all the roasted meat to be sold out. A few other people did not manage to buy anything later, so Mo Xiao Yan asked him to come back early tomorrow.
"Mom, I'll go find Big Brother and have him drive the oxcart over and put all these things on it so we can go home." Mo Xiao Yan looked at the street, where there were only a few people left.
"Alright, then mother will pack her things. Quickly go and find your big brother." Lee's packed all these things and swept the trash to the side.
When Mo Xiao Yan went over, he found Mo Lin Yu feeding the cattle grass.
"Xiao Yan, have you closed your stall yet?" Mo Lin Yu asked as he fed the cattle some grass.
"We've already closed up the store. Let's hurry over, big brother." As he spoke, he got on the oxcart.
Mo Lin Yu drove the ox cart to the stall, where Lee's had already packed all of his things.
At this moment, the woman selling buns came over and looked at the oxcart enviously. "Did you guys just buy this oxcart?"
Looking at the new car rack, you could tell it was just bought.
"Yeah, our family lives far away, so it's more convenient to have an oxcart." Lee's was proud, he felt that he had a lot of face. After all, only a few families in the village had an oxcart.
"I've just bought an ox-cart, so I don't have much on hand. For the time being, I'll set up a stall outside." Mo Xiao Yan really wanted to rent a shop, but he didn't have that much silver.
After placing everything on the ox-cart, and Lee's sat on, Mo Lin Yu then drove the ox-cart back.
Now that he had an ox-cart, he wouldn't have to worry about not being able to catch one when it was too late, and he wouldn't have to put the grill back at Xu Da Mu's place either.
Just as they entered the village, the news of Mo Xiao Yan's family owning an oxcart spread throughout the entire village.
Previously, Mo Xiao Yan's family was considered the poorest in this village, but now, no one expected their family to actually buy an ox cart.
At this time, at Liu Yue Mei's home, Madam He also heard the news, "Yue Mei, when did your Aunt Li's family get rich, and even bought an ox-cart? You must know that in our village, only two or three families have ox-carts."
"Mother, Auntie Li's family is doing business in the town, they must have made some money, that's why they bought the ox-cart." Liu Yue Mei was in the Chen Family learning embroidery, and walked with Mo Xiao Xia everyday. She had often heard about it from Mo Xiao Xia, so Liu Yue Mei did not feel anything strange.
"Oh, so that's how it is. Their family had been through a lot in the past, but now they're finally out of it." The He family had helped Mo Xiao Yan's family a lot, often giving gifts, so the two families had a good relationship with each other.
After returning home, many villagers who came to see the commotion heard that Mo Xiao Yan's family had bought an ox-cart. They all wanted to come over to take a look.
Mo Xiao Yan and his family moved the things on the oxcart into the house. At this time, many people stood in the courtyard, and were discussing something enviously.
After that, the people who came to watch the show all went back. Old Master Mo and Old Lady Mo also came over.
"male milk, you guys are here. Come and sit." Mo Lin Yu brought out two stools.
Old Lady Mo walked over and sat down.
"Your family bought an ox-cart. Where did all this silver come from?" The Old Master Mo asked.
"I recently made some silver from doing business and borrowed some silver to buy this ox-cart." If Mo Xiao Yan said that he bought it, Old Master Mo would suspect that he stole the money.
"This is definitely not cheap. How much money would it cost?" Old Master Mo felt that Mo Xiao Yan's family was too wasteful, they did not save up enough money to buy any ox-cart.
"Ten taels of silver." Mo Xiao Yan really did not want to answer so many questions.
"Isn't this too expensive? Did your father get someone to bring you some silver taels?" Old Master Mo thought that maybe they had taken everything for themselves, but he didn't say anything about being filial.
"No, Father hasn't brought anything back for a long time." This time, Mo Lin Yu opened his mouth.
"Then other than borrowing them, where did you get the money from?" Old Master Mo planned to pursue this to the end.
