Chapter 20 Buying Cows
Upon hearing what the middle-aged man said, Shen Yiyi nodded decisively and agreed.
"Okay, I'll buy the cow then."
He reached into his arms, took out a handful of change, picked up a few pieces and handed them over.
The middle-aged man was about to take the silver when he was interrupted by the man next to him.
"Alas, you are such a dishonest person. You sent me a message to buy a cow.
You sold the cow to someone else again. You don’t do things this way.”
The man frowned, looked at the middle-aged man, and glared at Shen Yiyi with dissatisfaction.
"……………………"
I don't know where this girl came from, but she actually ruined his plans.
If she wasn't there, I guess with an additional tael of silver, I could have gotten the ox and the cart.
When the time comes, I can at least make two or three taels of silver by reselling it.
"What did I do? Let us hear, the price you offered, do you really want to buy my cow?"
The middle-aged man's face also darkened. He looked at the man next to him with dissatisfaction and pointed at his big yellow cow.
No one would agree to give two taels of silver for such a strong cow.
"Well, that won't work. I'll give you some more." The man was speechless.
But I still felt unconvinced. All transactions require bargaining, and who doesn’t want to get a cheaper price?
"Then can you offer five taels of silver? I sell this cow for at least five taels of silver. If you are willing to pay, I will sell it to you!"
The middle-aged man also got angry and looked at the man seriously.
If he had agreed before, he would have taken his own cow away long ago.
"I......" The man choked again.
Although he really wanted to buy the cow in front of him, he would not pay for it if it cost five taels of silver.
Seeing that the man was not sincere in buying, the middle-aged man took the silver from Shen Yiyi.
"Girl, this cow and this car are all yours."
After saying that, he touched the old ox's back curiously and looked at Shen Yiyi eagerly.
"Although my ox is in its prime, you should still use it sparingly, so that you can use it for more years."
After saying that, he touched it twice curiously. If his family wasn't in urgent need of money, there is no way he would sell this old ox.
As soon as she saw the distressed look on the middle-aged man's face, she knew that the cow was good. Shen Yiyi grinned and nodded.
"Don't worry, uncle. I won't let it do any heavy physical work."
After saying that, he touched the old ox's head curiously, just wanting it to take over his job.
If she can do it with her thin body, this old workhorse should be able to do it even better.
Just as she was about to call Xiaoguai over, she was stopped by a man in his twenties, the same man who had been staring at her before.
"This girl looks unfamiliar. She must be from another place."
The man came in front of Shen Yiyi and smiled flatteringly.
"……………………"
This girl is really pretty. If she could be sold to a brothel, she would definitely make a lot of money.
Even if you stay at home and take care of yourself, you will still enjoy it.
Shen Yiyi was immersed in the joy of finally not having to work as a donkey, and she was grinning as she touched the old ox in front of her.
She didn't even look at the expression on the man in front of her face. After hearing what he said, she just nodded.
"Yeah. I was just passing by here."
"Look at me, didn't I say you don't look like a local?" the man grinned.
He rolled his eyes and looked at Shen Yiyi again.
"Girl, it's still a long way to the town ahead. Where are you planning to stay?"
"I……………………"
Shen Yiyi was about to say that they camped anywhere, but when she looked up, she saw the man in front of her clearly.
It seemed like there was something else behind his words, so he asked directly.
"Why are you asking this?" She glanced at him warily again.
It's not that she judges people by their appearance, this guy does look wretched and he always gives the impression that he is not a good person.
Seeing the vigilance in the girl's eyes, the man grinned again.
"Don't worry, girl. My house is just in front. I have an empty room and I often receive people who pass by and stay overnight.
If the girl has nowhere else to go, she can stay at my house for a night. If you have coppers, I'll give you two. If you don't, that's it."
After saying that, he looked at him meaningfully again. The man who wanted to buy the scalper just now was his father.
The man understood and immediately smiled and nodded in agreement.
"Yes, young lady, people often stop by our house to rest. If you don't mind, come back with me and take a look."
The man smiled so hard that his teeth were showing. As he spoke, he pointed at the family in front that looked like a nice house.
How could I not understand my son's thoughts? He had fallen in love with this girl.
Just looking at the old ox in front of me, this thing is worth doing, not to mention there is such a beautiful girl here.
“……………………”Everyone looked at each other.
They both saw worry in each other's eyes and wanted the girl to leave quickly.
The Wu father and son are the bullies in the village. No one dares to provoke them, even though they are worried about Shen Yiyi.
But no one dared to say anything, even though they felt that the father and son were too enthusiastic.
But Shen Yiyi was not afraid. She followed his gaze and looked towards the house in front.
It looked pretty good, and we ended up spending the night in the woods.
It’s time to take a shower and change clothes, otherwise I’ll feel like I’m going to stink.
Thinking of this, he nodded.
"Okay, then I'll stay at your house tonight."
She looked at the father and son in front of her with a smile and decided to stay at their house for one night.
As for what they think of me, there is no need to worry at all.
After traveling with my dad for so many years, I can't even deal with these two shrimps.
Then she wouldn’t have to be the young master of the Miracle Doctor Sect anymore.
"Okay, please come this way, girl." The man smiled so hard that his teeth were showing.
He hurriedly led the way, and his son was beside him protecting him like a ancestor.
Just as he was about to snatch the rope of the old ox from Shen Yiyi's hand, she snatched it away.
"I can lead it myself."
Shen Yiyi dodged the man's dry claws and turned to look behind the crowd.
"Little boy."
Everyone was staring at Shen Yiyi with a worried look on their faces. When they saw her waving at the back of the crowd, they also looked over there.
When they saw Shang Zhanchen standing upright, they all showed surprised expressions.
"……………………"
It turns out that this girl has someone with her!
This man is not only tall but also strong. He looks like a rich young master.
“……………………” The Wu father and son were stunned.
Seeing Shang Zhanchen, he was also surprised. He didn't expect that this girl had an escort.
Although I was a little scared, I could tell from the man's clothes that he was rich.
Then he thought of the handful of silver that the woman had just taken out and the old ox in front of him.
The father and son looked at each other and saw determination in each other's eyes.
I'm going to get this deal today no matter what.
Having made up their minds, both father and son looked at Shang Zhanchen with fawning eyes.
"So there are two of you."
Looking at the father and son in front of him with bad intentions, Shang Zhanchen suppressed his anger in his eyes and looked at Shen Yiyi again.
"She's my wife."
