Chapter 36 What a big mule

Gu Fei felt happy, opened the curtain, and saw Erlang standing beside the car.

He went to see the courtyard with Yazi. He had just seen two places and Gu Erlang thought the courtyard was small and was not satisfied.

While Gu Erlang was talking to Gu Zhang, he accidentally glanced into the car and suddenly saw a girl sitting next to her.

This girl is dressed in pink clothes, with watery eyes and white and tender skin. She is extremely beautiful.

Gu Erlang's face turned red immediately and he stuttered when he spoke, "Sister, sister, where are you going?"

While talking, Gu Erlang's eyes kept glancing at the second young lady.

The second young lady noticed his gaze and hid behind Gu Fei with a blushing face.

"We were about to go find you, and we happened to go look at the house together." Gu Fei stared at Gu Erlang's face, "Okay, why are you blushing?"

So we went to see the house together. The house was not far away. Yazi opened the courtyard door and saw in front of him a large yard of seventy or eighty square meters. There was a well in the corner of the yard.

There are also many houses. The main house and the wing rooms together have about ten rooms, which are enough for a family to live in.

Gu Fei was very satisfied.

Gu Erlang happily signed the contract with Yazi and paid the money.

Gu Zhang helped Gu Fei lie down on the kang, told her not to move, and went out with Gu Erlang to find Gu Qing.

At noon, Gu Fei and the second lady randomly ate two steamed buns. It was not until midnight that the father and son drove the mule cart back to the yard.

Gu Fei got off the kang and walked to the yard to look at some mules.

The mules are all very tall, estimated to weigh about a thousand pounds, much stronger than some ponies. Two are dark brown, one is almost black, and their four legs are thick and powerful.

Gu Qing stopped the mule cart and handed over the account to his sister.

“This mule is the best mule I bought. It is a cross between a Hequ horse and a donkey. This mule is very strong and powerful. It costs twenty taels of silver a piece. I don’t want any of the other ten taels.”

“The three mules cost a total of sixty taels of silver, the three carts a total of fifteen taels of silver, the mules’ iron shoes were hammered for another twenty taels of silver, and thirty taels of sheepskin were bought.”

“There are ninety-three taels of silver left.”

Gu Fei nodded and took the remaining money.

Gu Sanlang smiled and handed Gu Fei a small package, "Sister, all the jewelry was pawned. A total of two hundred and fifteen taels of silver were pawned, and one tael was given to the second brother to rent a house. The rest are here.

Gu Fei took the silver and put it away. Well, there are still three hundred and seventy taels of silver left, which should be enough for the journey.

“You didn’t spend money for lunch?”

A few people shook their heads.

Gu Fei hurriedly took out a few steamed buns and shared them with everyone. He also left some money for Gu Sanlang and asked him to stay and look after the yard.

Several people drove a mule cart out and bought two pairs of clothes for the second lady to change into. Gu Fei bought two large cotton-padded jackets for herself and the second lady to wear later. She passed by a butcher shop and cut some meat before returning. village.

The carriage stopped at the door of Gu's house. As soon as Gu Fei opened the curtain, she saw an old lady standing in the yard, looking at her with an unkind expression.

Gu Erlang carried Gu Fei out of the car, and the crutch in the old lady's hand stabbed the ground heavily, "Is this Xiao Fei?"

“I’ve been back for a few days, and you haven’t even mentioned coming to see me, this old lady!”

Gu Qing hurriedly apologized and said, "Grandma, Xiao Fei is injured. Don't you want to see your old man after the injury is healed?"

The old lady snorted heavily, "It won't matter if we go into the city. I live next door. How can I kill her if I just walk a few steps?"

“I think you just don’t take this old woman seriously.”
