……

Seeing this, an aunt opened her mouth to persuade Meng Xiaoxian: "Eh! I said, little girl, don't waste money to buy a useless old horse, when the time comes, this horse will be bought back, and it will not look good, and you can't ride it, so you can only be raised as an uncle, how troublesome. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Meng Xiaoxian heard the words of the aunt, and saw the thirst for life in the eyes of this old horse, gritted her teeth and decided to buy it, even if it was a lot of burden.

"I'm going to ask for this horse, uncle, how much does it cost?"

The old man looked at Meng Xiaoxian like him, took out a cigarette slowly, and said unhurriedly: "If you really want to buy it, I will save trouble, and I won't lie to you, just count you three thousand two." ”

"Ah, I want so much money, but uncle, I don't have so much money with me." Meng Xiaoxian couldn't help but be frightened by this price, after all, she only had less than five hundred left on her.

Is it possible to make a down payment and then pay in installments? Meng Xiaoxian couldn't help but think.

At this time, the horse seller thought for a moment, and then said, "Well, see how much money you can come up with." ”

"I ...... Now there are only about five hundred, and there are four hundred in the card, a total of eight or nine hundred. Meng Xiaoxian replied embarrassedly.

"That's not enough." When the old man who sold the horse heard this price, he directly refused.

"Eh, little girl, I didn't say you, it's really not worth it for you to buy this horse, it's better to slaughter it now, you can buy some soup to drink." The aunt next to her glared at the old man, feeling disgusted by the profiteer's behavior of taking advantage of Meng Xiaoxian's compassion to sit on the ground and raise the price.

The old man was not satisfied, and directly took a puff of smoke in front of the aunt and said: "What does it matter to you that I sell horses, you should go home to take care of the children and go back quickly, don't affect my business, little girl, I see that you are very sympathetic, this horse has been with me for a long time, and it also has feelings, so let's do it, you promise me to go back and treat it well, and I will erase your fraction." ”

Meng Xiaoxian nodded to the uncle who sold the horse to express her gratitude, but she didn't expect that the aunt who had been ridiculed by the old man before would lose her temper, pointing directly at the old horse's weak body, with her hands on her waist, and her angry eyes glaring like a female general.

"Look at this horse is only 600 kilograms, the meat yield does not seem to be high, at most a hundred kilograms of slaughter, the market price of horse meat is fifteen yuan per kilogram, according to my opinion, this old horse's meat quality is not good, it is only eleven or twelve yuan, at most it will be sold for 1,500 yuan, you old man, the black heart is inhumane, go home as soon as possible and open the heart to wash it."

"You! Stinky bitch. ”

"Yo he! You still dare to scold, the old lady's scolding kung fu is not covered in ten miles and eight towns, you 'Wang Ba calf' dare to provoke the old lady, I tell you 'stinky old monkey', today this idle old lady is in charge, I will stand and not leave, see who dares to buy your horse meat! ”

The aunt rolled up her sleeves to the crook of her arm and pointed at the old man who was gradually falling into a state of rage.

The old man blew his beard angrily and stared, his teeth clanged, and his eyes were blood-red as if he was about to burst into flames.

Meng Xiaoxian just wanted to persuade her, but she didn't expect to be interrupted by the uncle.

"I'm so angry, believe it or not I'll stab you with a knife."

"Come on, if you dare to stab me, I will dare to die to show you." The aunt was also not convinced, seeing that the old man was carrying the butcher knife, although she was a little worried and afraid, she still replied stiffly.

"Do you think I really don't dare to stab?"

"Come on......"

……

Hearing that the two gradually changed from a verbal dispute to a fist and foot conflict, Meng Xiaoxian couldn't help but be anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and couldn't interject for a while, so he could only stand in the middle of the two at once, forcibly separating the two people who were getting closer and closer.

"Humph!"

"Humph!"

Two muffled snorts sounded at the same time, and no one was convinced.

"Uncle, I bought the horse, don't make any noise." Meng Xiaoxian hurriedly said to the old man.

She calmed down her aunt a few more words and calmed her mind, which calmed down the quarrel between the two.

"Everyone, look at it, who is blocking and not allowing business, isn't this breaking the rules of the market? Come, girl, where do you live, I'll drive the horse over and provide you with fodder later. ”

“…… All right. Meng Xiaoxian responded, but she didn't have much money on her, so she could only discuss with the old man if she could do less, after all, every dollar she had to spend now as two dollars.

And because half of his salary was advanced in advance, the money that Meng Xiaoxian could get at the end of this month was actually only four thousand, and he had to buy a high-quality guitar, and he also had to keep a part of it as living expenses. There's really not much money left.

Meng Xiaoxian asked again: "Can it be less, I don't have so much money with me now." ”

The old man who sold the horse thought about it again, maybe he felt a little embarrassed by what the aunt had just said, so he lowered another two hundred yuan, and the final price was two thousand eight hundred yuan, but it was not included, and the horse could only be slowly led home by Meng Xiaoxian.

Thinking about which friends around him could borrow a little money, Meng Xiaoxian couldn't help but scratch her head a little, did she want to ask her family for money again?

How can you say this! Thinking that he didn't earn a penny for his mother and father, but asked them for money, and he had to make them angry?

Moreover, parents have one more child, and the expenditure must have increased a lot, and I can't add pressure to them anymore.

So, Meng Dad and Mom: PASS~

Meng Xiaoxian couldn't help but think of Wang Yiheng's grandfather, who had the 1,500 yuan he had just repaid. It's just that he, an old man over seventy years old, can he bear to borrow money from him?

So—

Grandpa Wang also PASS~

So who else can you borrow from? Do you want to propose to Luo Wenxiu, the owner of the pharmacy, that he pay all the rest of his salary?

I could only give it a try, so Meng Xiaoxian dialed Luo Wenxiu's phone and explained to him directly.

Unexpectedly, Luo Wenxiu directly agreed to Meng Xiaoxian's request, and praised her for being caring and must be supported.

Not long after, Meng Xiaoxian found that Luo Wenxiu had called 4,000 yuan through a text message, so he specially sent another text message to express his gratitude.

"Uncle, I'll transfer it to you." Meng Xiaoxian said with a smile.

"I don't have a bank card, I've been living in the mountains, and all I use is cash." The old man looked embarrassed.

"Then you can only go to a nearby bank to withdraw money, uncle, you wait for me."

"Okay, let's go." The old man smiled and took a deep breath of his homemade old cigarette.

After Meng Xiaoxian took the money, he directly bought the old horse.

Patting the horse's neck, Meng Xiaoxian stroked the bridge of its nose and lips for a while, it would understand, shake its mane as if shaking off its doubts, and slowly follow her back.

"Horse, horse, in order to redeem you, I spent all my savings, you have to fight for yourself and give birth to a baby horse as soon as possible."

Meng Xiaoxian stroked the old horse's rough mane and said softly.

The old horse also seemed to understand his situation, lowered his head and rubbed Meng Xiaoxian's arm affectionately.

"I hope you will give birth to a little white horse in the future, take me to gallop on the snow in the wilderness on winter nights, gallop in the sunny spring, shade me with your huge body in the hot summer, raise your head and pick a pear for me on the cool autumn day......"
