Chapter 140 Penniless

In the evening, a strange man knocked on Jiang's door.

The other party claimed to be Wang Liu and was one of the resettled refugees.

The purpose of coming here is to ask the Jiang family to borrow a bullock cart to sell wild boars and other wild animals in the town at a convenient time tomorrow.

Seeing that the other party's eyes were clear and his body seemed to be injured, Mrs. Xu didn't rush him away, so she told him to wait outside while she went home and called her son over.

Wang Liu nodded, and the old man in front of him didn't refuse, which meant that there was still something to be done.

If the family is unwilling to borrow the bullock cart, they will have to think of other options.

The courtyard door was closed, blocking the view from inside and outside.

Fu Bao was fighting for the duck leg with his stinky brother, but his stinky brother didn't follow martial ethics and took a bite on the duck leg, leaving a saliva mark.

"Huh~"

He immediately frowned in disgust and stopped grabbing it!

"A little bit~"

Brother Chuan made a face, then took a big bite of the duck leg.

"Ow~"

One bite almost broke the baby tooth.

He cried out in pain. Unknowingly, he thought it was his sister who bullied him.

"You're stupid. Your sister let you eat it, but you ended up chewing on the bones. It's really..."

Jiang Changfa laughed at his own son, who didn't care about the door at all.

Mrs. Liu on the side pinched the tender flesh of her waist. Is there such a person as a father?

When my son cried, he didn't comfort him, but he even laughed at him!

"Chang Fa, someone outside asked you to borrow a bullock cart. Go and tell them if you want to borrow it~"

Mrs. Xu came back and signaled her son to go to the door to talk to someone about the situation.

"Hey~ I got it, mother."

Jiang Changfa quickly put down his bowls and chopsticks, got up and fled from here.

I thought to myself that his mother didn't reject that person directly, which meant that she felt that the other person was not evil.

The rest depends on what people say when he meets him.

At the dinner table, Mrs. Xu sat down, and her daughter-in-law laid out the dishes and chopsticks for her.

"Milk, who is outside?"

Fu Bao burped. She was full, but it didn't stop her from continuing to laugh at her smelly brother.

"The refugees who claim to be coming to the village are called"

Mrs. Xu put some chili pepper for herself and asked for a piece of garlic. After stirring it in the bowl, she thought about it and said:

"It's called Wang Liu."

Wang Liu?

It seems that he is the leader of the refugees who led the group to hunt in the back mountains according to Nai Nai Nai.

Fu Bao guessed that the other party came to borrow the bullock cart to take all the wild animals to the town and sell them!

That was a wild animal weighing about three thousand kilograms. Her ox cart could not pull so much at one time.

Furthermore, if you work hard for people and hurt money for free, you must be willing to receive some benefits!

Old Mrs. Xu saw her granddaughter's little thoughts and said, dumbfounded:

"Okay, you're a little girl, what do you want to do? With your father here, we won't suffer."

I really don’t know who will follow my granddaughter’s money-obsessed temperament?

"hey-hey."

Fu Bao touched his nose guiltily, and when he saw that Song Yu had finished eating the noodles, he winked at Song Yu calmly.

Let's go, let's discuss how to convince my family to go to the county seat as soon as possible!

At the door of the house, after Jiang Changfa learned the identity and purpose of the other party, he thought for a moment, nodded and said:

"Before you came to borrow a bullock cart from our family, you should have inquired about it. Our family goes to town every morning to deliver goods, and it takes more than an hour to come back.

I can lend you the oxcart, but you have to pay for it, and the driver must be my brother, Li Xiaotian. "Having been in business for so long, Jiang Changfa will not do loss-making business.

Not to mention benefiting others at the expense of oneself and becoming what my daughter calls the enemy!

"It's natural."

Wang Liu nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

In this way, there is no need to owe each other any favors.

"It's just that we are penniless now. I'm afraid we have to sell the wild animals and exchange them for money before we can pay."

Faced with Wang Liu's frankness, Jiang Changfa expressed his understanding, and he was not afraid of being held back.

This is Dahe Village. As long as these people still want to settle down and live a happy life in Dahe Village, they must pay it back!

After some discussion, the two agreed on the price, and then agreed on a time to meet tomorrow.

After Wang Liu left, Jiang Changfa closed the door and went home, telling Xiaotian about the matter.

Li Xiaotian said that he understood. Tomorrow he would go get the first batch of wild animals after delivering the goods and coming back after restocking.

Although this ox cart can pull goods, it is not unlimited.

There can be at most two people on a trip with Wang Liu and Wang Liu, and a maximum of one wild boar, a few rabbits, and a few chickens can be put in the car.

Don’t underestimate the weight of a wild boar. A wild boar weighs at least 500 to 700 kilograms!

You can’t finish it in one trip!

Jiang Changfa charged a nominal fee for one trip.

This is considered extra money, and if you give it to Li Xiaotian to drive, half of the extra money will be given to him as a bonus.

Li Xiaotian was very excited after hearing this. Brother Chang Fa considered everything for him and found ways to make money for him!

woohoo~

When he has children in the future, he must educate them and repay the Jiang family's kindness when they grow up!

Happy, I will take the cows to graze by the river later~

Niu'er will have a hard time tomorrow~

At the same time, after discussion, the village chief pointed out a piece of wasteland to be used as a cemetery for the refugees.

Wang Liu and the men from the hunting team buried Mr. Li in the wasteland and gave him a hasty burial.

"Uncle Li, I'm sorry. We are short of money right now and don't have any extra money to take care of your funeral. Please stay alive and don't blame us."

"Uncle Li, it was you who led us to hunt wild animals, and it was you who saved everyone's lives. Don't worry, we will work together to take good care of my sister-in-law, nieces and nephews."

"Yes, yes, we will definitely take care of Muzi and Ye Zi!"

"Cough cough~"

"Wang Liu, we have all heard that Old Man Li asked for an orphan on his deathbed. What he meant was, are you willing to accept Mrs. Qian and her and Damai's two children?"

"Yes, Brother Six, we have all heard it, but it still depends on whether you are willing to do this."

"Don't push me, Brother Wang Liu. My father-in-law is just worried about us orphans and widowed mothers, so that's why"

"Sister Qian, you are a good woman, but I am so lucky that I have delayed you. However, your father-in-law is very open-minded and entrusted you to Wang Liu before leaving."

"Wang Liu, your wife has been gone for eight or nine years. If your wife knows her well, she may be happy that you have someone to take care of her."

"Stop talking about it. Old Li hasn't passed the first seven years yet. Let's just wait until Old Li has passed the first seven years. Let's discuss this matter again."

"Yeah, that makes sense."

Qian's heart felt bitter and astringent. The head of the family had died a few months ago, and her father-in-law was gone.

In the days to come, how would she live as a widow with two children?

She doesn't know either, really doesn't know.

But if she were asked to get along with Brother Wang Liu right now, she couldn't do it!

Wang Liu also thought the same way. Facing the fellow villagers who had fled from the same village, it was okay for him to refuse, and it was okay not to refuse.

His mother-in-law has been gone for nine years, but what can I say? Maybe her mother-in-law died in the best years of her life, and she died in childbirth when she was giving birth to his child. He can't forget it!

Take one step first and take a look.

Tomorrow, I will sell the fattest wild boar first, and then take a few hares and pheasants with me.
