"Mother, in fact, it will be much more convenient for us to go to the city to do business after we have an ox cart, for example, the ice powder, we can rub it at home in advance, and we don't have to get up early every day to go to the shop to work."

Li was collecting clothes, and Su Xiaomu followed her to explain the benefits of having an ox cart.

But Li didn't think that this money had to be spent.

She put her clean clothes on the chair next to her, looked at her and said, "It's just an early morning, and it doesn't take much effort."

Besides, you and your sister-in-law pushed a cart into the city before, didn't you also do business? At that time, it was earlier than now. ”

The Li family is not so generous, a cow costs seven or eight taels of silver.

Seven or eight taels is enough for their family to live for several months.

They have a little money to spare, but they definitely don't have to live a life where they have a car and don't have to walk.

"But even if my mother doesn't think about my business with my sister-in-law, she should think about it for the sake of her husband, right?"

Su Xiaomu said all this, knowing that she and the Yin family were not enough to cause the Li family's distress, she moved out of Gu Jingcheng's killer feature with ease.

Everything left and right at home is for him to study, so it doesn't matter if he sacrifices a little.

Sure enough, as soon as he heard that buying a car was related to Gu Jingcheng, Li's eyebrows immediately relaxed.

She said, "What does this have to do with Jingcheng?" ”

"Of course it matters, if our family has an ox cart, wouldn't it be much more convenient for Xianggong to go home every time he goes home than before?

And even if he didn't think about this, if it was like yesterday, Xianggong didn't have anything to take, he didn't have to wait for someone else's ox cart to go back to the academy the next day. ”

Su Xiaomu substituted Gu Jingcheng, and by the way, she recalled the inconvenience of going to school when she was studying before, and she talked more about her nose and eyes.

"Xianggong is already very tired from studying in the academy.

He can neither get the love of his parents at home, nor can he enjoy the care of his brother, he is alone outside, and it is inconvenient to go home when he encounters anything.

Mother, do you think, if you are a father-in-law, wouldn't you be very sad? ”

When she said this, she wiped her nose with tears in her eyes, looking emotional.

Li had never thought of this.

She recalled that when she saw Gu Jingcheng yesterday, his emaciated appearance, and a heartache welled up in her heart: "Okay, what you said makes sense, we really must buy this car." ”

There were no conditions before, but now that there are them, Jingcheng must no longer be wronged.

"I said, my mother is so distressed, how can she be willing to let him be wronged?

Tomorrow, tomorrow I will go to the city with my sister-in-law to see the carriage, and by the way, I will tell the good news to my father-in-law, so that he will know that it will be convenient for him to come back in the future! ”

Su Xiaomu was really excited at this moment, Gu Jingcheng was inconvenient for her not to know, anyway, she wouldn't have to walk anymore in the future!

The second day was originally a day when the store was closed for rest, but Su Xiaomu still got up early in the morning and went into the city to buy an ox cart.

For the time being, only she and the Li family knew about this matter.

Li's means to tell the family after buying it back, otherwise the family will discuss this matter with gossip, and she doesn't like to listen to it.

When she arrived at the market, she immediately took a fancy to a strong bull, but the price was not as beautiful as the bull's appearance.

"Boss, I sincerely want it, you can sell it to me for four taels of silver, I have brought all the money, as long as you nod, I will take the cart by the way."

Su Xiaomu looked at the scalper she fancied, and she was really so satisfied.

This scalper has a tall body, the word "country" prefixes, and its nose makes a "whoosh" and "whoosh" sound from time to time, and a pair of sensitive ears stand up on both sides of its head, swinging from time to time.

The curved and pointed horns on both sides of the ears are like two steel diamonds, and the limbs are well-proportioned and powerful, which can be called the best among cattle.

"Little girl, no matter how sincere you are, you can't let me suffer, right? You are refreshing, I will be honest with you, my ox, I can't get off without ten taels of silver, this is a good ox from other places, and our local calves can't raise such a block. ”

The boss didn't hang her, and recommended the cow next to her.

He patted the cow on the back, and the cow let out a "moo......

"This head, six silver, you take it, if you want a cart, six halves."

"Okay, then I'll want this."

Su Xiaomu reluctantly led the cow with the cart back to the house, she looked back at the prince of the cow step by step, and burst into tears!

Ten silver ...... It's a huge amount of money that she is completely reluctant to pay.

To put it mildly, ten taels of silver is enough to buy five of her.

But this cow is really the most handsome cow she has ever seen.

Slowly driving the ox cart back to the village, as soon as he arrived at the village gate, Su Xiaomu heard the exclamations of the villagers passing by.

The aunt gasped and looked at the ox cart in disbelief: "I said the daughter-in-law of the Gu family, your family is living so well now, and you have the money to buy a car?" ”

"No, isn't all your family's money used for Gu Laosan's study?

Why do you have the extra money to buy this thing? My God, look at this cow, it's very strong, and it can help the family do a lot of farm work. ”

The aunt's eyes were full of envy, and of course, a hint of jealousy.

Who in this village doesn't know that although the Gu family has a scholar, they are as poor as ordinary farmers.

Even life is not as good as theirs.

After all, it costs money to read, and it is not a big expense to buy books and ink?

The aunt's shout, the people who were wandering around the village heard it, and they all came to Su Xiaomu to join in the fun.

One by two, they surrounded the ox cart and looked at their cows, exclaiming with envy and jealousy.

The Gu family also came over at this time, and the Li family didn't go out today, just planning to come to the village gate on time to wait for Su Xiaomu to come back.

However, they arrived a little late, and now the entrance to the village was already surrounded by water.

"Gu Ruochen Gu Ruochen, this is the maltose my mother gave me, I will share it with you to eat, can you let me see the ox cart later."

The children in the village couldn't squeeze into the adults, and they were curious to see the ox carts, so they took candy to please the children of the Gu family.

Gu Ruonan was also very lively, several half-grown girls were holding a large bouquet of wild flowers in their hands, and their voices were soft and glutinous and talking to her: "Let's take a look, after watching Niu Niu, let's play together and let you be a mother." ”

"Then let's talk about it, and when the third aunt brings the cow back, I'll invite you to come and see!"

Gu Ruonan was originally not moved at all, but as soon as she heard that she could be a "mother", she couldn't resist this temptation.

The adults of the Gu family are also very excited now, and the Li family only told them that they had something to do with the village gate, but they didn't say that they had added an ox cart to the family.
