Chapter 54 Buying a House?Buy land?Buy a car?

"So much silver?"

The eyes of Li Xiaodao, Fat Miao'er and the others burst out with excitement, looking at the silver on the table, they salivated.

"Five hundred words is already a lot. I didn't expect there to be more. Mrs. Wang is really a kind person."

Compass gave a thumbs up, a compliment.

Xiuzhu and Xiuqin smiled lightly after hearing this.

"The old lady asked us to say thank you on her behalf, thank you for helping to find Little Snowball."

Uh!
This is a bit embarrassing.

Li Xiaodao lowered his eyes and touched his nose. They didn't find the cat, but they followed him. After doing the calculations, they earned five hundred coins.

"Is that cat called Little Xueqiu?" Fat Miaoer interjected at the right time.

"Yes!" Xiuzhu nodded.

Seeing Fat Miao'er's chubby appearance was so pleasing, he couldn't help but say a few more words.

"It's from the old lady, does it sound good?"

"It sounds good!" Fat Miao'er nodded after thinking about it seriously: "It sounds good, but that cat is too thin."

Thin cat, not good looking!
"Little Xueqiu used to be very fat." Xiuzhu's eyes showed a look of distress.

"It has suffered and suffered outside these days, but now it's healed and returned to the mansion, and it won't be long before it regains weight."

"It's better to be fat, fat is cute."

Fat Miao'er thought of her former self. At that time, she was the fattest cat in the whole community, and everyone liked her.

"If there is a destiny, maybe you can see how little Xueqiu grows fat."

Xiuzhu smiled, and she also knew that these words were very watery.

How could a few powerless children see Little Snowball again.

These days, with the right owner, cats are more valuable than people.

"Since the money has been delivered, we should go too."

Xiuzhu and Xiuqin got up at the same time and nodded slightly, went out of the yard and got into the carriage, and gradually disappeared from the sight of Fat Miao'er and the others.

……

After a stick of incense.

When the Wang family arrived, Xiuzhu and Xiuqin got off the carriage, went straight back to the backyard, and reported to Mrs. Wang.

"Has the money been delivered?"

Mrs. Wang was reclining on the bed, holding the cat in her arms, stroking with her fingers gently, again and again, the cat snored comfortably.

"Yes!" Xiuzhu glanced at the cat in Mrs. Wang's arms, and lowered her voice.

"The kids didn't say anything?" Mrs. Wang asked in a chatty manner.

"I've said it." Xiuzhu took two steps forward, stood beside Mrs. Wang, covered her mouth and laughed softly: "Those children have never seen so much money, they were so happy, they just praised you, Mrs. Wang, for being a good person." !"

"What kind of person is not kind?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang waved her hands, her face showing a bit of tenderness: "I just want to have a clear conscience."

While speaking, Mrs. Wang caught a glimpse of Xiuqin from the corner of her eye and saw that she was hesitant to speak, a little strange, so she asked, "Why, do you have something on your mind?"

"No." Xiuqin shook her head.

Frowning tightly, with tangled eyes, he hesitated and said: "I always feel that there is something wrong."

"What's wrong?" Mrs. Wang paused.

Xiuqin nodded: "Those kids are too clever, and they behaved just right, as if they had rehearsed beforehand. Could it be that they went to Fumanlou on purpose..."

Xiuqin was about to express her doubts, but was interrupted by Mrs. Wang raising her hand.

"What kind of bad thoughts can children have, even if they do, they are just being bullied and have nowhere to redress."

The smile on Mrs. Wang's face subsided, and her eyes became sharper.

Xiuqin was shocked.

"The old lady is right, it's the servant who is talking too much."

Xiuqin regretted it unceasingly, she almost forgot that their old lady believed in Buddhism and was most charitable.

In particular, Buddhism emphasizes cause and effect. The old lady lost her snowball and was sent back by them, which shows that there is a fate between the old lady and these children.

In this case, even if she has doubts, she should keep it in her heart and not say it out loud.

……

Dashi Village.

Inside the hall.

Compass took two bites of the silver and couldn't put it down. "This is the first time I have touched silver."

In addition to the five hundred wen we got before, it is ten taels, a full ten taels, how many good things do we have to buy!
"It's still Fat Miao'er who is smart, just come up with an idea, and the Wang family will obediently send the money."

Compass looked at Fat Miao'er in admiration.

Fat Miao'er pursed her lips and smiled. She just used the pressure of public opinion appropriately. The most important thing was that the Wang family cherished their feathers and cared about their reputation before they were willing to submit.

"By the way, how do we spend the ten taels of silver?"

Fat Miao'er looked at Li Xiaodao, Wei Shu, Luo Pan and Liu Ye'er.

If you have money, you must not keep it in your hands. You must buy things that should be bought.

Now that everyone is in trouble, and they are getting rich for a while, they are not yet mentally prepared.

Li Xiaodao suggested: "Why don't you buy land, ten taels of silver can buy two acres of land."

"With land, there will be food. Even if the business of wild vegetable dumplings cannot continue in the future, we are not afraid of starvation."

"It's a good idea to buy land." Fat Miao'er nodded and looked at Liu Ye'er.

Liu Ye'er had a different opinion: "It's good to buy land, but for the five of us, it's not an urgent need."

"We are now renting at Aunt Wu's house, so in the future, we will have our own house sooner or later. I think it is better to buy a house."

After buying a house, they don't have to depend on others.

"That's a good idea." Fat Miao'er nodded again.

Turn around and ask Compass and Wei Shu for their opinions.

Wei Shu didn't speak.

Compass shook his head: "I don't think buying land or buying a house is good enough."

"not good enough?"

Liu Ye'er and Li Xiaodao spoke at the same time and asked, "Then what do you think is good to buy?"

"Isn't it buying cotton clothes?" Li Xiaodao joked.

He still remembered that in the temple that night, Compass said that his wish was to buy a cotton coat so that he would not be afraid of the cold in winter.

"Of course not!" Compass pouted.

"Cotton clothes are only worth a few dollars. We can buy them by selling wild vegetable dumplings."

"My idea is that buying land and houses is not as good as buying a cow."

"Buy a cow?"

"What do you buy a cow for?" Li Xiaodao looked at the compass in confusion.

"Of course it's useful to buy cattle."

Compass narrowed his eyes and explained with a mysterious smile: "First of all, buying a cow can cultivate the land, and Fat Miao'er has four acres of land in her hands. According to the agreement between her and the Zhou family, we have to take care of it ourselves after the autumn harvest. We are young , poor physical strength, and having cattle to plow the land can save a lot of effort.”

"Secondly, after we buy the cattle and put them on a cart, we can take wild vegetable dumplings and big bone soup to the pier every day, and then we don't have to worry about borrowing carts from other people's homes when we have other businesses coming to our door."

"The most important thing is that the bullock cart can pull goods, and it will not be a problem to earn a dozen or twenty yuan by standing on the pier and running twice a day."

The compass was conceived very well, and at the end he asked, "What do you think?"
