"It's not that our village doesn't run ox carts, it's mainly that we can't find the right people to run it."

The village chief looked helpless, "You should remember that a few years ago, our village also went to the town to use ox carts, and since Uncle Zhi left, no one wants to get involved in this matter anymore." ”

"Yes, after Mrs. Hongzhi leaves, there will be no ox carts in our village."

Find this memory from the memory of the original owner.

Li Shulan nodded slightly, "Village Chief, our village can't always be without ox carts, can you think of a way?" ”

"Zhenglei daughter-in-law, there are a few cattle in our village, do you know why no one runs the ox cart business?"

"Village chief, I really don't know this."

"This matter has something to do with the death of your Master Hongzhi."

"This ......"

Li Shulan really doesn't know this.

The original owner also has no such insider in his memory.

The village chief glanced at her, "It's not unusual for you to know, the ox cart business is not so easy to do, and you must pay a monthly sum of silver to the town every month."

It's a trivial matter to just hand over the moon silver to the town, after all, every village is like this, and everyone can afford it.

It's mainly those ruffians in our town, these bastards can't be solved by paying the monthly silver every month.

They want to blackmail you at any time, sometimes several times a month.

How much money can you make in the oxcart business? A month is three or five taels of silver, at most it will not be worse than seven or eight taels, which sounds like a lot, but in fact, there are not a few dollars left.

If you think about it, the cows have to go to the town and the village several times a day, and you always give the cows good food not only to eat grass to raise fat, but also to buy some miscellaneous grains to be fed.

Give the monthly silver to the town every month, at least one or two dozens, I don't know how much I have to pay now, and let those ruffians blackmail a few times, how much will be left in hand? ”

Hearing the content, Li Shulan knew that there were so many tricks in the seemingly simple business.

She couldn't help but sigh: "The income is indeed a little bottom, every day in the wind and rain, all the hard-earned money is given to others." ”

"Although it is hard-earned money, it is not bad for people who have little income at home."

The village chief smiled bitterly: "The main reason why everyone really gave up this business is that the death of your Hongzhi Taiye has frightened everyone. ”

Li Shulan was stunned, "Village chief, I remember that the ox cart overturned, and Mrs. Hongzhi didn't have time to jump out of the car before the accident?" ”

"At that time, I really told everyone that in fact, your Hongzhi Taiye was killed by someone."

The village chief's expression was complicated.

Whispered about the past of the year, "There was a ruffian named Scar in the town back then, and this guy didn't know where he came from, and he lived in our Bluestone Town.

He also has a martial arts to dominate the town, not only collecting protection money from the town's shops, but also reaching out to everyone in the village who runs an ox cart business.

At first, he was still trustworthy, and only collected the so-called protection fee once a month, but later it should be that he was short of money and blackmailed several times a month, and you Hongzhi Taiye was stubborn and refused to pay it.

Perhaps completely infuriated to him, he followed your grandfather on a snowy day, smashed his head with a stone and pushed people into a snowdrift, and then snatched the cow. ”

"And then? Did you find this scar man? ”

Li Shulan asked in a deep voice, "Did he grab the cow and leave Qingshi Town?" ”

"You guessed right."

The village chief looked melancholy, "Since your grandfather Hongzhi had an accident, that scar man has never appeared in Bluestone Town again.

The people in our village are afraid that this kind of thing will happen again, and no one will run this business again. ”

Speaking of which.

He looked at Li Shulan again, "Zhenglei's daughter-in-law, do you have any plans when you mention this matter?" ”

"Yes, I feel sorry for the two children who braved the wind to go out early and return late, and I hope that our village can buy an ox cart to pick up these children."

Li Shulan asked seriously, "Village chief, can you find someone to drive the ox cart?" ”

"What do you mean?"

"I'll pay for the ox cart, but I'd like you to come forward, the village chief."

"You want to run this business?"

The village chief was surprised.

He frowned, "I told you just now, the ox cart business is more complicated, you are a woman, and you have embroidery skills, it is enough to raise your three children, why do you have to wade into this muddy water?" ”

"No, I don't care about this business."

Li Shulan shook her head, "Village chief, you know that my family is not short of money now, and I don't want my child to freeze his body and bones because of the cold."

Their brothers are young and go out early and return late in the wind and snow all day long, I can't help but worry that they can't stand it, you know I do have a little money in my hands, and now it is inconvenient to buy ox carts and donkey carts for the children to use.

I can only ask you to come forward to buy an ox cart, and the money from the operation will be given to the person who drives the cart, and it will be free of charge when we mother and son ride the ox cart. ”

The village chief was stunned for a moment and asked, "You only mean to pay for the oxcart, and don't care about the rest, is that what you mean?" ”

"Yes, I only pay this money, and the only requirement is that the four of us mother and son can ride the ox cart for free."

Li Shulan smiled and nodded, "The rest will be handled by you, can the village chief help us?" ”

"It's a good thing, and I certainly won't say no."

The village chief's eyes flashed with a smile, "But I'll also talk about the ugly things first, if the cow dies of illness or something happens, I won't compensate you." ”

"No problem, no matter what accident happens, I won't ask for compensation, of course, if someone does evil, I hope the village chief can find you to deal with it impartially."

"Okay, I promise you!"

"You're the village chief."

Li Shulan left fifty taels of silver.

Say a lot and make up for a lot.

When I was about to say goodbye and leave......

There was a rush of footsteps outside, accompanied by the sound of expletives.

Li Shulan couldn't help but look at the village chief.

The village chief furrowed his brow and put away the silver on the table.

He motioned for his daughter-in-law to go out and see what was going on.

"Aunt Xiaomei, I'll go out with you."

"Okay, let's go out together."

The village chief's daughter-in-law nodded and said, "Listening to the voice, it should be your mother-in-law and your two concubines coming to you." ”

"It seems that they want to plant the matter of Uncle Child's and Uncle Child's third uncle on my head!"

Li Shulan looked helpless, "I knew that they wouldn't let me go." ”

"It's not easy for you kid."

He glanced at her with pity.

The village chief's daughter-in-law revealed kindness in her tone, "Don't worry, if they dare to mess around, there will be all of us." ”

"Aunt Xiaomei, thank you."

Li Shulan thanked softly.

"Li Shulan, you woman~"

They had just appeared at the door.

Just opposite the person who is about to come in.

Xu Honghua pointed at her nose and scolded, "Li Shulan, you are a vicious woman, you actually asked someone to break the legs of your eldest brother and third uncle, do you want to ruin my family!" ”

"Big brother, what evidence do you have?"

Li Shulan had a cold face.

looked at them with cold eyes, "If you want to pour dirty water on me, you first come up with evidence." ”
