CH 12.2

"This horse is really good. Its fur is smooth and black, and its eyes are clear. It will definitely work well after it’s raised." Zhang Shicheng looked around the black horse in the yard with his hands behind his back, and the creases in the corners of his eyes could hardly be suppressed: " It seems that the dealers in the cattle and horse dealers didn’t cheat you with high prices."

Zhang Fangyuan took a sip of cold water: "They don't dare to cheat me when they see me like this."

Zhang Shicheng caressed the horse, reluctant to let go: "I'm just afraid that this leg will need a lot of money.”

Zhang Fangyuan said: “I’ve broken a bone before, and I know what a broken bone looks like. This horse is just a wounded flesh. It should be pinched by an iron tool, but it wasn’t pinched too hard. Just take good care of it, and it will be all right within two months."

Zhang Shicheng was even happier after being assured. None of their Zhang family had any horses, and the cattle of the old family were still transferred to other households, that was, the cattle bought by several families, and one family raised them for a period of time. Nowadays, Zhang Fangyuan bought a horse alone, and there would be more places to use in the future. Although he spent more than seven thousand copper coins at one time, it was better than spending randomly.

If you needed to resell it in the future, you could still sell it at a good price.

This person had been out for more than half a month, and he was afraid that he would collapse again because of the talk about his marriage, but he didn't realize it, because of this incident, he had a fighting spirit, and he brought the horse back after going out for a few days.

In the evening, uncle and nephew peeled some peanuts and drank a glass of wine.

"Tomorrow your uncle will slaughter a pig at home, so you can help too."

Early the next morning, Zhang Fangyuan packed up the pig slaughtering tools and went to his eldest uncle’s family.

His eldest uncle Zhang Shixin had three sons, no girls and ge’ers, two older than Zhang Fangyuan, who worked as shopkeepers outside, and the younger one who worked as a helper in the city.

Just now when he was on the ridge of his eldest uncle's house, he heard the yard was very lively. There must be more people here today than Xu house last time.

"What to do, the other butcher was called. And whoever is here..."

Zhang Fangyuan didn't listen to the whispers, and went to greet Zhang Shixin: "Uncle."

He knew that his eldest uncle wouldn’t want to see him, and he was prepared in his heart, but it was just a formality, and he was a relative. He said: "Is there anything I need to help with?"

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Fangyuan heard a voice from inside the room asking: "Mrs. Zhang, where is your firewood? I will take some to the stove."

Zhang Fangyuan heard the familiar voice, the woman who was busy coming out of the kitchen was also taken aback when she saw him.

"Why is he here?" Zhang Fangyuan looked at Guang's mother, his brows tightened, showing signs of getting angry. 

Zhang Shixin said: "Of course she came to help."

"Uncle is busy at home today, are there not many folks here?, She is the only one missing?"

Zhang Shixin scolded: "The folks in the village, what's wrong with someone coming to help? What do you think? If you can’t get married, do you want everyone to stay away from the Guang’s family?”

Guang’s mother then lowered her head, with a look of embarrassment on her face: “I thought Brother Zhang’s family wanted me to help slaughter a pig today, and Fangyuan wanted to kill a pig today. I let go of the previous unhappiness, but I still feel nervous in my heart. Forget it, it’s not suitable for me to come here.”

As she said this, she was about to walk with her eyes wide open, and the people in the yard hurriedly grabbed Guang’s mother: “Don’t Mrs. Guang, Look at the trouble."

"Fangyuan, why are you still making trouble with your uncle? People don't worry about it, but you are holding grudges."

Everyone helped Guang's mother to speak, Zhang Fangyuan with a sneer, wasn't it because bullying him wouldn’t be hypocritical?.

"Uncle is kind-hearted and likes to make friends, which is really admirable." He put down his words: "I'll go."

Zhang Fangyuan strode away, and no one in the yard stopped him. Instead, they all went to comfort Guang’s mother. Zhang Shicheng, who came a little late, bumped into the angry Zhang Fangyuan outside, and knew that he fought with his uncle again. He wanted to pull Zhang Fangyuan but failed, so he hurried to his elder brother's house.

Just about to ask what happened, the moment he saw Guang’s mother, he shut his mouth again.

Then he went out to find Zhang Fangyuan again.
