The charming little lucky wife of the peasant family

Chapter 45 Buy One Get One Free
"Father, do we want too much?"

When Niu Chunhua's son saw Xu Baozhu frown, he was afraid that he would repent after being wronged by him.

These two taels of silver are indeed quite a lot, and their family can earn four or five taels throughout the year. This is when the income is good, often it is one or two taels, or even only a few hundred taels, and life is tight Baba, this old man Xu's family is well-known in the village as a poor family. He can only charge two coppers for a doctor's visit. In this village, he often pays on credit for medical treatment. He doesn't even pay for the medicine and consultation. Ah, the honest man was exempted, and when his daughter got married, he held such a lively banquet, where did he get so much money, just for an old and useless donkey?

For a while, the family members were confused.

The courtyard was suddenly quiet.

Even the crying of the child stopped suddenly at this moment, only the old donkey who couldn't understand human words was still humming in pain.

"Uncle, can't it be less?"

"Girl Bao, if you..." Niu Chunhua was about to speak when her husband pulled her over. The man held his head up and gestured with his fingers and said, "You can't miss a penny. If you can't afford it, our family will pay you." Take it and eat it by yourself, and making a tooth offering is better than giving it away for nothing."

It seemed that this man wanted to squeeze out the last bit of value from the old donkey and make a profit for his family, so even though he knew that their donkey was not worth the price, he still opened his mouth and there was no room for concession.

"Okay, two taels is two taels." Xu Baozhu agreed, and said, "But I don't have that much money with me right now, why don't I give you one tael first, and I'll take it back, and the rest , wait until I sell the medicine, and then return it, is that okay?"

"Okay, since you really want it, everyone is in the same village, and I won't make it difficult for you. After paying the money, you can take it away."

"it is good."

Xu Baozhu took out a small piece of silver from her purse and handed it to Niu Chunhua, "Aunt Chunhua, take it."

An old donkey was exchanged for real money. Niu Chunhua was also a little embarrassed. She lowered her head and stretched out her hand stiffly, but her husband took it away.

"I am the head of the family, just give it to me."

Niu Chunhua was usually a talkative personality outside, but now she was like an eggplant beaten by frost, and said without refuting, "Give it to him."

From her reaction, Xu Baozhu probably guessed that life here was not easy for people, but it was difficult for an upright official to decide on housework, so she didn't feel anything, and Xu Baozhu didn't care about it. The donkey was untied, half-dragged and half-dragged, and brought home.

When old man Xu and Zhu Yun heard the movement, they came out of their respective rooms one after another. Old man Xu said, "Girl, did you really borrow the donkey?"

"I didn't borrow it, I bought it. From now on, it belongs to our family." Xu Baozhu said.

"The donkey is like the lifeblood of their family. How could anyone sell it to you? Don't you just talk nonsense?"

Old man Xu obviously didn't believe it.

He has been in the village for so many years, and he understands how much the family attaches importance to the donkey. He had conflicts with several families in the village earlier because of this, and he has not reconciled until now.

"Really." Xu Baozhu explained: "I originally planned to go and borrow it, but, by coincidence, their old donkey was in a bad mood, and Uncle Xu thought it was sick, so he wanted to kill it for meat. I bought it for two taels of silver, but don’t worry, I’ll only give you one tael for the time being.”

Xu Baozhu actually had enough money in his pocket at that time, but he just kept an eye on it, so he paid on credit.

After all, their family is a poor family in the village. If they have to spend two taels at once, what will they think if they don’t have enough guarantees? Will they make any guesses? To build a wooden house, the old man Xu has to consider the feelings of the villagers, lest they think too much, let alone now...

"Speaking of which, I was lucky. I just ran into it. I planned to come back and ask you to show it, but it turned out that it ate the grass along the way, and it was fine."

Hearing what she said, old man Xu felt relieved, although he felt sorry for the two taels of silver, but it was earned by the girl herself and spent by herself, so he had no objection, "Okay, let's put it in the circle first, I'll give it to you tomorrow." Find someone to get a car board to put on, so that it will be convenient for you to go to the county in the future."

"Ah."

……

At night, Xu Baozhu was woken up by a painful muffled groan. She was in a daze, but she could still hear it coming from the chicken coop.

Could it be that there was still a fight?
That can't be done, what if the chicken is not sensible and is bitten by her?
You know, she paid a lot of money for this donkey.

Go check it out.

Xu Baozhu lit the oil lamp, got up quietly, and walked to the half-sized chicken coop, but was stunned by the scene in front of her.

"Father, Father, Brother Yun, come out quickly!"

When the two men heard her shout, they hurried out of the house without even putting on their winter clothes.

"what happened?"

"Come and see!"

"Father, is it going to give birth?" Xu Baozhu wasn't sure, after all, she had never seen a cow or a donkey give birth, but she could see the way it panted and the movement on its shriveled belly A moving state...

"Quick, hurry up and find some wheat grass!" Old man Xu ordered, "This old donkey is about to give birth."

Sure enough!

Xu Baozhu and Zhu Yun ran out at the sound, and after a while they came back with a lot of wheat straw from the field, and let the old man put it under the donkey.

Under the dim oil lamp, red blood flowed down the two legs, and the little donkey's head appeared sometimes, sometimes not.

"Father, what should I do? It seems to be in great pain and cannot be born."

"Shh!"

The old man Xu signaled her not to speak.

At this time, no one can help, only try to provide a good environment for it.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the breathing of several people seemed to be stagnant, and no one dared to gasp. Finally, I don't know how long it took, I saw a red and naked donkey falling on the straw pile, and the old donkey followed in an instant. As if losing strength, he stumbled towards the wall, almost knocked down, but fortunately he stabilized his figure in time.

After regaining some strength, he headed towards the little donkey and lightly kicked the little donkey’s belly with his hoof. As if sensing something, the little donkey opened his eyes and looked up in a daze. Then put on all four legs, trying to stand up.

It's a pity that its legs and feet are too weak, and it has no strength. After several attempts, but without success, Xu Baozhu's heart was pulled. Fortunately, the last time, it finally stood up. , jumped up and down towards the old donkey.

Seeing this scene, Xu Baozhu couldn't help feeling that this animal cub was amazing, it was soft-handed and soft-footed, yet it was born able to run and jump.
