However, Brother Niu actually accepted other people's silver, and they couldn't return it.

It's just that when it comes to the matter of dividing the silver, several people almost argue.

Niu Dali felt that the day before yesterday, he didn't take action against the bandits, so the one hundred and twenty taels were divided between Wang Shihu and seven people.

But Wang Shihu and the seven people disagreed, saying that they would divide it together, otherwise the silver would not be divided, and let Niu vigorously keep it.

Niu Dali couldn't resist Wang Shihu's seven people, so he could only agree.

Because of the windfall for no reason, several people had joy on their faces, gathered around the table, and talked freely while drinking, especially Yang Zi often brought out the matter of catching bandits the day before yesterday.

This time, Li Xianglan, the eldest girl and the second girl did not eat at the table, after all, a few big men here were bragging and a little noisy, so Niu Dali asked Li Xianglan to serve some dishes to eat in the side room.

"Got it, you've caught the most bandits!" Wang Shihu said with a smile.

"Wrong, wrong!" Yang Zi shook his head, "We should be most grateful to Brother Niu, if it wasn't for Brother Niu teaching us martial arts, how could we have the scenery the night before yesterday!"

As he spoke, Yang Zi stood up and toasted vigorously to the cow.

Upon hearing this, several people nodded and got up to toast.

Niu Dali didn't shirk it, raised his glass in return.

"Speaking of this, the most unhappy thing for me is the Aunt Zhou during the day. Yang Zi said angrily: "We didn't hurt their cow again, what do we say that the cow was frightened by us, and there is no way to be an ox cart to call, let Brother Niu pay dozens of taels, even if it is only a lot of silver to buy a new cow!"

"If Brother Niu hadn't told me this, we wouldn't have known about it?!"

Niu Dali shook his head helplessly.

In fact, Uncle Lao Gen is indeed very good, but his daughter-in-law Zhou is not very good.

The night before yesterday, after Wang Shihu captured the bandits, he was in a hurry to report to the official, so he put Uncle Gen's cattle in the stork building, until yesterday when Wang Shihu came back, by the way, he brought the ox cart back to the village.

Originally, it was nothing, but now at noon, Zhou's came to the door and asked them to compensate, saying that her cattle were frightened the night before yesterday, and they refused to eat grass for two days, and refused to pull people, saying that they must let the cattle pay dozens of taels vigorously.

Later, Uncle Lao Gen led his three sons over in time, scolded Zhou, and compensated Niu Dali.

Uncle Lao Gen is kind-hearted and reasonable, saying that the cow is indeed frightened, and he didn't eat grass when he first came back, but it was fine the next day, and it was no problem to pull people.

Although nothing happened, it did cause Uncle Lao Gen's cattle to be frightened, and Niu Dali still asked Li Xianglan to take out forty yuan as compensation.

It's not that he refuses to give more copper coins, but he is afraid that if he gives too much, Zhou will be too little, after all, human nature is greedy, and the more he gives, the less people will be satisfied.

And forty is a reasonable range.

Uncle Lao Gen felt that the cattle in the family were fine, so he was embarrassed to accept the forty wen, and hurriedly refused.

In the end, it was Niu Dali, Li Xianglan who was so good at talking, and Zhou's eyes were shining, and Uncle Lao Gen reluctantly accepted forty wen and left.

Wang Shihu thought for a while and said: "Brother Niu, you said that if we give some silver and buy a cow to come back to pull the goods, it is also convenient, and there is no need to borrow cattle from Uncle Gen." ”

Yang Zi and the six of them thought about it for a while, and nodded one after another, after the Zhou family came to the door to ask for compensation, they really didn't dare to borrow cattle from Uncle Lao Gen in the future.

In addition, in the future, they will go up to the mountains to hunt and buy cattle to come back, which will also make it easier for them to send prey to the town in the future.

Although the price of a big yellow cow is not low, but with Brother Niu, I believe that the silver taels for buying cattle will soon be earned, and buying cattle can not only be used as an ox cart, but also for ploughing.

What's more, there is also Liu Fugui's crushing silver, which is enough to buy a cow back.

In fact, even if Wang Shihu doesn't mention it, Niu Dali also has the idea of buying cattle.

And this idea has been around for a long time, but it was only at that time that the cattle were bought not long after the house was built, which would make others talk about it, so it was delayed.

Moreover, he didn't buy cattle simply to transport prey to the town, sometimes the family could ride the cattle to the town when they had nothing to do, didn't they?

However, Niu Dali did not support Wang Shihu's proposal to buy cattle in partnership.

After all, it is easy to have disagreements about the things of the partnership, although the purpose of buying the cow back is to transport the prey to the town well in the future, but who is responsible for the cow, who will take care of it, and who will use more and who will use it less will cause a series of conflicts.

"Before, a few of us took advantage of the eldest brother too much, and let the eldest brother teach us to practice martial arts, so the money will be paid by a few of us. Fan Zhongyun said.

"I agree with this!" Yang Zi nodded.

Wang Shihu and the others had no opinion, but Niu Dali disagreed, "What are you going to do? None of you have to pay for the silver to buy the cow, I will buy it alone!"

"It's not going to work!"

Wang Shihu and the seven of them refused, saying that they had to give out the money together.

"I bought it from home, and pulling goods is a matter of convenience. Niu waved his hand vigorously and said vigorously against the crowd: "You want to save money to marry a daughter-in-law and buy land, I don't need it, none of you should fight with me, otherwise you won't recognize me as a big brother, and don't recognize me as a senior brother." ”

Wang Shihu and the seven looked at each other, their eyes were full of wry smiles and helplessness, they all came to this point, how dare they refuse?

They once again realized Brother Niu's honesty and honesty, and they were willing to suffer losses and not let their brothers suffer.

What to say for their own use, this is obviously to make them feel good.

move

If a brother is like this, what more can a husband ask for.

Good big brother!!

oo

If Niu Dali knew what Wang Shihu and the seven were thinking at the moment, he would definitely shout, "I really bought it from home." ”

At night, Niu Dali told Li Xianglan about buying cattle, Li Xianglan was a little hesitant, although some time ago because of the construction of the house spent a lot of silver, but there were still more than two hundred taels left in the family, enough to buy a big cattle.

But after spending so much money to buy a cow and raise it all at once, Li Xianglan was still a little reluctant and felt that it was not necessary.

It's just that Niu Dali had already thought about his rhetoric, and Li Xianglan was speechless when he talked about the benefits of buying cattle, and he also calculated an account for Li Xianglan.

Every time I hit the prey, I have to borrow an ox cart from Uncle Lao Gen to go to the town, which costs about 20 wen at a time, 200 wen for 10 times, 2 taels for 100 times, 10 years, 20 years, and it is better to buy a cow back with this money.

In the future, it was easier for them to go to the town to buy groceries without having to crowd into an ox cart with many people.

What's more, cattle can not only be used as a walking tool, but also plough the land.

Li Xianglan thought about it and felt that Brother Dali's statement was not unreasonable, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that something was wrong.

But when the two girls heard that the family was going to buy cows, the eldest girl didn't react, but the second girl was so excited that her face was flushed, and she was coquettish and encouraged to buy cows.

Li Xianglan was helpless by the father and daughter, and finally had to agree.
