Chapter 43 Buying Cattle at the Market

Ji Nuan was thinking about where to buy a donkey, pulling his father to follow behind that person, Ji Ruinian thought that it was okay to buy a donkey, how could it be regarded as a livestock, it was a big deal to slow down when planting, and less decoration when pulling the land.

Soon arrived at a donkey cart, Ji Nuan frowned, this donkey is too thin, shouldn't it be sick: "Xue'er, you help me see if there is anything wrong with this donkey." ”

"Master, I'm not a veterinarian."

"I know, my Xue'er is a divine beast that everyone loves, and flowers bloom, help!" Ji Nuan was coquettish, Xue'er had to help check the donkey, and told her after a while: "It's no big problem, just feed some space well water." ”

Ji Ruinian also disliked that the donkey was too thin, he circled around the donkey twice, this donkey is skinny with good teeth, there are many hairless places on his body, and the knees of his two front legs are still a little swollen. Ji Nuan also shook his head, that person had been squatting in the livestock market for several days, and there was still a seriously ill old lady at home to take care of, waiting for the money from selling donkeys to save his life.

"Big brother, there is nothing wrong with my donkey, but I have to take care of my mother these days, and I have to take care of the family affairs and ignore it a little to get hungry and thin."

Ji Nuan glanced at him: "Your donkey has bugs on his body, and his legs are still swollen, and if he doesn't treat a minor illness, it will become a major illness, and he is so thin that it is not worth three or two halves of silver." Ji Nuan said that she sympathized with the man's suffering, but the current Ji family is not capable of charity.

"Three and a half halves of silver also include a car, which was just made last year and has not been used much."

"If you feel sorry for the car, you can count it alone or pull it away, how much do you sell this donkey, and then we can leave at a high price." Xue'er told Ji Nuan that there was a donkey seller thirty or fifty meters away from here, and seeing that Ji Nuan was leaving, the donkey seller was a little anxious, he was afraid that Ji Ruinian would leave and he would come in vain today.

"Sell it to you for three or three dollars, it really can't be cheaper, I'm waiting for this money to give my mother medicine, please don't reduce the price anymore, buy the donkey and the car?" The man bowed and bowed to Ji Rui'an.

"Why don't we buy the donkey?" Ji Ruinian really couldn't bear to bargain, and he could see that the donkey was not suffering from a fatal disease, and the situation would improve after going back to raise it for a while.

Daddy is too soft-hearted, his family is still struggling with food and clothing, he actually pities others, Ji Nuan doesn't want to worry about it anymore, since Daddy wants to buy it, then buy it, go home and feed it some diluted space well water, and soon it will be a live donkey.

Ji Ruinian drove the donkey cart and wanted to leave the livestock market, Ji Nuan pointed to the donkey and said: "Take it home and have to raise it for a while before you can work, have we been using my uncle's ox cart, what if they start selling tofu in a few days, do you want the eldest brother to push the cart to deliver tofu, more than 100 catties of tofu, maybe it won't take long to grow to more than 200 catties of tofu, can they push it?" ”

So what to do? Ji Ruinian regrets it a little now, he shouldn't just think that person is pitiful and wants to help others, but his actual difficulties have not been solved.

"Dad, let's buy another cow, now we can pull a cart to deliver things, and we can still farm in the spring, otherwise what will happen to the twenty-five acres of land at home, do you expect this donkey to help plant, this is not a livestock for farming!"

"The two of us spent so much money at one time, your mother must be angry." Ji Ruinian was a little worried.

"If my mother gets angry, I'll stand up to it, let's go, let's go buy cows."

Ji Ruinian followed behind his daughter, Ji Nuan specially looked for a cow that looked crooked, and then asked Xue'er to help see if there was anything wrong with it and whether it could be cured. Xue'er didn't bother to talk about her, a divine beast silently did what a veterinarian should do.

Not far in front, there were two people blocking the middle of the road, one was leading the cow, and the other was blushing and arguing with him, and after listening to it for a while, Ji Nuan knew that the two were arguing because of whether there were cubs in the cow's belly.

The cow seller guaranteed that the cow had cubs in its belly, but the cow buyer said that he had already found several people to see it, and the cow had no cubs at all, and it was getting thinner and thinner, so he had to return it.

This time, without waiting for Ji Nuan to speak, Xue'er told her that the old cow not only had cubs but two cubs in her belly, but they didn't know how to get entangled, and it seemed that they were about to die.

"If we revive them, we'll have two calves in the family next year, right?" In that case, Daddy must be very happy, Ji Nuan wants to buy this cow, and Xue'er guessed that this is the ending as soon as she said it.

Ji Nuan asked his father to bend over and told him that he would not suffer a loss if he bought the cow, Ji Ruinian listened for a while and felt that it was not cost-effective to buy a cow with five taels of silver that he didn't know if there were cubs in his belly.

"Brother, do you buy a cow, sell it to you cheaper, I bought it for five and a half taels of silver, and now I can sell you for five taels and three dollars of silver." The man who took the morning glory said to Ji Ruinian.

Ji Ruinian is an honest farmer, but he is not stupid: "The best cow in the market is only five taels of silver, and the head you hold in your hand doesn't look like a cub, and it's so thin, not to mention five taels or three dollars of silver, I don't want five taels." After saying this, Ji Ruinian led the donkey with one hand and the girl with the other hand and walked away without any nostalgia.

"Don't go, let's discuss it again, how about selling you for four taels and nine dollars."

"Raise it yourself." More than four taels of silver Ji Ruinian will never buy it, this time he has made up his mind, he can't be moved casually anymore, after all, the family conditions are there, and now he is not qualified to help others, let alone be kind.

"How about four taels of silver." This cow hasn't eaten much recently, and I looked to the veterinarian and said that even if there are cubs in the belly, it is estimated that it will die, although it will lose more than four taels of silver, but it is better than smashing it in the hand and not selling it for a penny.

"Four taels of silver, if you sell it, we will take it away, and if you refuse to sell it, we will not force it." Ji Nuan was sure that person would sell, the old cow's condition was getting worse and worse, and there was only a dead end in his hands.

Ji Ruinian asked his daughter in a whisper if the cow could be saved, Ji Nuan pretended to be stupid and didn't understand anything: "Didn't that uncle say that there are cubs in the belly of the old cow, let's believe him once, I believe that he is not a bad person, but this cow is too thin, it is estimated that he will have to feed a lot of forage when he goes home, if it is more than four taels of silver, we can't buy anything!" ”

Whose child is this, even buying livestock is mixed in, and the adults of his family are actually asking the child's opinion, what can a child understand, this cow has a problem at a glance, and he will regret buying it when he goes home, and he can't ask for four taels of silver!

The people watching the excitement next to him all hope that Ji Ruinian will take care of the children, but this is a big matter that cannot be decided by a child.
