Chapter 108 108. Being Called Sister by an Aunt
The place where the drought is most severe is Chaoyang County.

Although Zhaohui County also suffered from disasters, compared to Chaoyang County, it is considered to be very minor. Although the water level has dropped, there has not been a drop of rain or snow since last autumn, but at least the river there has not dried up. No shortage of water to drink.

From Caolu County to Zhaohui County, at least three to five hundred miles away, it is good to have a horse-drawn carriage, but if you use an ox cart, you have to walk for three to five days. How can Miss Jiao and the rich wives bear this kind of weather.

Therefore, seeing the two horses behind Yue Jiuyue's donkey cart, not only Mrs. Fu and Miss Jiao's eyes lit up, but everyone who was resting also had their eyes lit up.

Mrs. Fu sent the capable woman beside her to stop Ke Yue Jiuyue and asked:
"Hi sister, our wife wants to buy this horse from you. I wonder if you can sell it to our family. Our wife will definitely give you a satisfactory price!"

The woman raised her eyes and saw Yue Jiuyue's appearance, which was so dark that she was really shocked.

This, it doesn't look like someone's wife, even if she is a rough woman, not to mention white and tender, she will not be darker than the ashes at the bottom of the pot!
However, she and this woman just wanted to talk about buying a horse. As for the other party's identity, she couldn't care about it. Maybe this person was born black?

Although they guessed that Yue Jiuyue might be a woman sent by some family to buy horses, and this woman was suspicious, but since they saw the horse, they had to ask, maybe they were willing to be bold for money?After all, people die for money.

Yue Jiuyue raised her eyebrows, how old is she?She was called sister by an aunt in her 40s.

However, this is the business that really came to the door, or the automatic door-to-door.

Of course she is happy to make money, and she doesn't even care about being called "sister" by an "aunt".

However, she didn't agree directly, instead she hesitated for a while, pretending to be entangled and greedy for money, and asked:

"I don't know how much your wife is going to bid?"

In fact, Yue Jiuyue would agree no matter if it was the normal price or a higher price, because no matter what, she would never lose money.

Of course, it would be best if you could earn more.

"My sister also knows that the price of horses in the past was only 80 to 120 taels of silver. That is to say, recently everyone wanted to leave Caolu County as soon as possible, so the price of horses has been raised. However, our wife is a real person. I want to buy one for [-] taels, I wonder what my sister would like?"

Yue Jiuyue doesn't know the truth of what the mother-in-law said, because she doesn't know the price of horses in this world, let alone the current price.

However, a horse with five taels of silver can be sold for 120 taels as soon as it changes hands. Yue Jiuyue didn't immediately burst into laughter, because she learned the word "forbearance" well during this period of time.

She wants to maintain her personality.

When Yue Jiuyue hesitated so much, the woman thought that Yue Jiuyue thought the price was too low. The woman scolded Yue Jiuyue for being greedy, but she continued to raise the price with a smile on her face.

"Sister, how about this, add another ten taels... then 20 taels? At most 30 taels, 150 taels, buy it now, will my sister sell it?"

Yue Jiuyue tried her best to tighten her face, fearing that she might accidentally laugh out loud, so she pursed her mouth tightly, and waited until her expression finally collapsed, then said reluctantly:

"Okay, 150 taels is 150 taels. I wonder if you want another horse?"
