He Miao stared at Mrs Zhao, wishing she could see through her. However, Second Aunt Tian was not afraid of her. She only raised her hands to wipe the corners of her eyes, and unexpectedly had tears in her eyes.

"Good niece, just help your Second Uncle this time! It's not that my aunt and uncle don't want to buy cattle, it's just that... It was unknown when that money bag had dropped! We bought cloth and piglets at the east end of town, and when we were done loading everything, we went to the cattle market. As a result, when we looked at the cattle, we touched our saddlebags, but it was empty! " Mrs Zhao cried until her nose and eyes were red, and her sleeves were even a mess. She looked quite pitiful, and caused the surrounding villagers to be moved. A few warm-hearted aunts even went up to console her.

The five families that had accompanied them to the bull market, the ones who had borrowed money from the seedlings, were still helping to explain:

"At that time, your Second Aunt was already in an uproar, shouting 'catch the thief, the thief, the detestable one'." That's right, that thief was truly hateful! "If we lose ten taels of silver in one go, won't we be asking for the old lives of the peasants?" Your Second Uncle went in a hurry to search for it, but he didn't know who stole it! Even if they reported to the yamen and didn't catch any thieves or loot, the yamen runners wouldn't be able to search the entire streets, right? "

She Miao looked at them and shook her head in regret. She was also glad that she didn't lose her money and successfully bought the cow.

What do you mean losing money! It was all an excuse! He already had the money to buy a baby chicken and even bought back a piece of cloth to make new clothes for his own family, then he lost the money he borrowed? He's lying to a ghost! Ten taels of silver! It was all minced silver! Which pocket on his body would a thief be able to loot? When she was young, she had the good fortune to have bought things with Second Aunt. Of course, she had only helped him carry things around. There were two Sleeve Pocket s in his arms. He also carried them in his pockets, along with his clothes and belt. Once, he even saw Second Aunt taking out a copper coin from his shoes …

When he thought back on those scenes, he could not help but feel shocked.

What were Second Uncle and Madame Zhao's intentions? Didn't he want to use that silver to buy the cow for his family's envoy? With just a single dig, she had spent twenty taels of silver on Second Uncle's house!

Even Second Uncle had heard the rumor, he suspected that he got more than 50 taels of silver. He was forcing himself to show his face in front of the villagers! If she could still take out 10 taels of silver, wouldn't that confirm the rumor? No matter how envious the villagers were, even if the five families borrowed money, they would still be very unhappy with him! Even the Minister would think that he was cunning?

Having done such a good deed yet being hated by others, she wasn't like that 'bullying' person!

Just as Tian Hemiao was about to open her mouth to refuse, facing the man selling the cows, whose eyes were filled with expectation, his simple and honest smile, and the reluctance to part with his family's robust cow, this meant that if this family did not wait for the money urgently, they would definitely not be willing to sell their cow. Otherwise, they would not deliver the cow themselves to their family just to get rid of the cow as soon as possible.

He Miao frowned slightly, unable to say a word of rejection.

Looking at the cow, it was well-preserved. Its skin was smooth and smooth, and its temper also seemed meek. Looking at the cow's teeth, it was only six or seven years old, and its stamina was at its peak. And this is a cow, the farm after the breeding, birth of calves is a profit.

No matter what, he wouldn't lose out if he bought this cow.

However, regardless of whether she bought the cow or not, the 10 taels of silver that she had previously lent Second Uncle did not have a promissory note, so she was afraid that she would not be able to return. If this was the case, she was at a disadvantage!

When everyone saw She Miao standing there, they couldn't figure out what she was thinking, so they just quietly discussed. They couldn't help but say, "I'm sorry for the money, but I don't think there's enough money", "I think that's just a rumor. She Miao definitely doesn't have that much money …"

He was both disappointed and anxious. He pulled at Second Aunt Tian and said: "You asked us to catch the cow and bring it up, saying that we will definitely be able to buy it. We feel that we can still hurry home if we sell the cow. Now, what do you think we should do? "

The man lived in the village of Shang Yao, on the south side of the village, separated by a mountain and a river, because he was a bit far from the town. Although the village was also a bit far from the village, although it was also a bit far from the village, and although there were still plenty of fields there, the circulation of goods and goods was not as convenient as in the village. He wanted to sell the cattle to get to the market in the town, otherwise he would be able to transfer his cattle from the village, but the price was a bit too low. However, he was really in need of money. He wanted to make some more money, so he rushed the ox back to town early in the morning. He originally thought that he would meet a big client, but unexpectedly, it was the same as his home!

Second Aunt Tian was also panicking a bit. Second Uncle Tian was in the town using the excuse of going to the yamen to arrest the thief. As a woman, she could not come up with any ideas. She had never expected that He Miao, that damned little girl, would not be willing to lend a helping hand!

"Miao, please help Second Aunt this time. Aunt … I'm begging you! " She gritted her teeth and was about to kneel. In any case, this was just a farce. An elder like her had actually knelt down, yet She Miao was still so shameless. Was she still going to stay in the village?

As expected, She Miao didn't receive her bow and quickly dodged it. The villagers who were watching the show at the side quickly pulled Second Aunt Tian and started talking at once.

"She Miao, if you still have any money left, why don't you help your Second Aunt first?"

"Yeah, I think this ox seller is truly anxious, so why don't you help him?"

"This cow is really good! If it wasn't for the fact that I don't have this extra money, I might have already bought it! "

"The seedlings …"

Tian Hemiao took a deep breath, raised her head and forced a smile.

"It's not that I don't want to help, it's just that... I don't have that much money either! "

"How could that be? You borrowed five families' 10 taels, but your spending on the new year's spending is only 8 taels. Don't you still have 20 taels?" When it came to money, Second Aunt Tian was immediately spirited and quickly started to calculate for her niece.

Tian Hemiao slightly narrowed her eyes, her voice somewhat cold. "I remember that when we left for the new year, I paid three silver taels to Second Aunt's family for an annual gift?"

"Three taels of silver!" Everyone exclaimed.

"How can there be so many …" Second Aunt Tian's eyes flashed, feeling a little guilty.

"Two rabbit meat, two partridge ducks, half a plate of pork, five catties of sausage, several candies and a new cloth …" Tian Hemiao slowly counted. Mrs Zhao's face was dark, under the villagers' envious and jealous gazes, she felt a little sad yet unhappy at the same time. She quickly cut him off.

"Just say it, are you going to buy this cow or not?"
