Rebirth Farmer Yaomei

Chapter 114 Lost Donkey
The business became more and more prosperous, and the Ning family sent all their donkeys out to collect vegetables, and there were not enough donkeys to deliver goods to Hutai County, so they first hired mule carts to help.

The town is no different than Sanjia Village. There are people doing all kinds of businesses. Lao Yang’s family is in the transportation business. He has a mule cart at home, and he will go to Hutai County every day. Things are calculated separately.

On weekdays, the old Yang's family would temporarily take over the business of delivering goods from various shops in the town. Now the Ning family has agreed with the old Yang's family to deliver goods to Hutai Town every one or two days.The mountain goods on a mule cart are enough for ten donkeys to carry, and the journey is fast. I drove the cart early in the morning and returned at noon.Not only is Ning Liang not tired, but he can also save a lot of time to do other things.

One delivery of 180 yuan, Yu saw it, so she called Ning Wan quietly and said, "Why doesn't Wan'er buy a mule cart for her own use? Do you have no money in your hand? Mother still has some money from her own house. Lend it to you."

"Mother, you really know it!" Ning Wan praised. The family bought a house, expanded their business, hired a buddy to buy things, and none of them cost money. The family property accumulated in the past two years is almost empty, "It's just that mother doesn't say , I also plan to borrow some money from my mother, but it's not to buy a mule cart, but to send money for harvesting wild vegetables."

When the Ning family sent mountain vegetables to Hutai County, the bill was usually settled once a month, but the vegetable collection side was paid in cash. Adding the two together, it cost a lot of money.But now Dejufeng’s business is doing well, exceeding Ning Wan’s expectations. The price of the Ning family’s collection of mountain goods is not low, and the weighing is also fair. People in the nearby mountain villages originally sent many of them to Dejufeng. For a while, more than half of the cat's claw vegetables in Mayi Town were resold by De Jufeng.Therefore, the pressured money is not a small number. Ning Wan has already padded out her private house, and now she can't support it.

When Yu Shi heard this, she quickly took the key from her waist and opened the cabinet, took out her money box, opened a small lock, and pushed all the money and things inside to Ning Wan, "Take it all."

Mrs. Yu lives carefully, and there is always something left over for her usual household, and her and Shitou's monthly expenses are relatively small, and almost all of them are saved. They are all here, and now they have saved more than 30 taels of silver, and there are also stone silver locks, bracelets and anklets, the gold hairpin and some jewelry that father bought for her, all wrapped in red silk.

Ning Wan took 30 taels of silver ingots, "That's enough. I'll pay back my mother at the end of the year, and I'll have to add interest."

Yu said: "My family, what interest do you want!"

"I want to borrow from others, and the interest will be more."

Yu said, "Anyway, I don't want it!"

Seeing how resolute her mother was, Ning Wan couldn't help laughing, "Forget it, if you don't, you'll be able to take advantage of me."

"I don't care who you are cheaper, I definitely don't want it," Yu also smiled, and worried again, "Now it's just wild vegetables, which are cheap after all, and then mushrooms will be much more expensive. When the wild vegetables come down in autumn, how much will it cost? Turnover? Why don't you ask your father to tell the storekeepers in Hutai County to settle the bill for us earlier?"

"No need," Niang didn't understand, the bigger the shop, the longer the checkout period. If you want to checkout early, it's not impossible, but people will think that Dejufeng has no strength, and your credit will be discounted accordingly.Dejufeng has just been established, credit is very important. "After we have collected this batch of cat's claw vegetables, we will have enough money, which is just used to collect mushrooms and fungus, and then it will be autumn. After this year, our family has more money, and we will buy one for ourselves." mule cart."

I don't want the mule cart to be bought, but the donkey at home has been stolen.

Although the newly bought shop of Ning's family is not small, Ning Qing's family has occupied one side room. Now when they are busy, there are two families of aunts and sisters who come to help, so the front and back rooms are full, so the two shopkeepers They were all arranged in the inverted seat in the backyard, and several donkeys were also tied in a shed in the backyard.

When the donkey was stolen, everyone slept soundly, but it was Xiaoliu who heard the donkey braying and got up to see what was wrong, so she hurriedly shouted.

The Ning family got up and found that the thief had opened the wooden door of the backyard, took the grass and led the donkey and was about to lead it away quietly, but one of them was stubborn and refused to move, so everyone knew it after it barked.The family hurried out, but only three of them were recovered, and the others were all ridden away by the thieves.

When I got home, I lit the lamp and took a closer look. Needless to say, I lost the donkey, even the cat's claw vegetables in the yard were trampled a lot. Fortunately, the thieves didn't enter the shop, thinking that those things were worthless.Neighbors also lost their things, and everyone said: "There have been no thieves in the town for several years. This time, not only property, but also livestock are not spared!"

Someone else said: "I'm afraid I was optimistic about it earlier. Today is the end of the month and there is no moon, just come to steal."

"It seems that the town is not peaceful again, we must be more careful in the future!"

After a while, Li came over with disheveled hair and a padded jacket, "There are more than a dozen shops that were stolen, most of them were merchants on the street. Ruihongfeng lost a lot of silks and satins, and I can't count them; Ma's shop is also missing." Many fine things are being checked; Dr. Xie's donkey and Lao Yang's mule are also missing!" He said: "If Dejufeng's donkey hadn't started braying more often and scared the thief away, I'm afraid the livestock would be lost. There are even more people here!" After looking at the backyard of Ning's house, he waved his hands, "The thief must be gone now, everyone go back to sleep first, and discuss tomorrow to gather money and people to arrange a night watchman!"

Previously in Sanjia Village, it was a big deal for Guo Qiuzhu to steal some food. The whole village looked down on the Guo family, and the story of the third old man stealing fish was even more ridiculous.The Yining family never expected that someone would come to steal a donkey!

Ning Liang was still shaking his head when he entered the house, "How could this be? He came to the house to steal a donkey? Aren't you afraid that the government will arrest them and chop them up?"

Yu Shi also turned pale with fright, "I saw hundreds of families in the town, how could there be thieves in such a lively scene!"

The second brother-in-law did know, "Actually, there are no thieves in remote mountain villages like Sanjia Village. It is impossible for outsiders to steal things there. First, there is nothing to steal, and if they are stolen, it is difficult to transport them out. As for the town , Every few years there will always be robbers or bandits or something."

My aunt and uncle also said: "Our Lishu Village also sometimes recruits thieves, so those who raise livestock at home are tied under the window at night, and others are led into the house." They regretted, "Why? Didn't think of this? It would be better to lead the donkey to the front yard!"

The second brother-in-law complained to Sun Gu and Xiao Liu, "You both slept too deeply, and no one would know if you entered."

Since Sun Gu and Xiao Liu were working as buddies in Ning's house, they naturally took over the job of feeding the donkey, and the donkey was also kept in the backyard.If some people are mean, they will definitely blame them and beat them up.So Sun Gu lowered his head, but Xiao Liu was not convinced, and whispered: "Who would have thought that there would be thieves?"

The second brother-in-law got angry, "Could it be that I'm wrong? Since you take care of the donkey, you should be more careful..."

Ning Wan hurriedly stopped her and said, "Everyone has been tired all day, why don't you lie down and sleep until dawn? Besides, who would have thought of encountering thieves? Now that the three donkeys have been recaptured, it is very good. It is said that Xiao Liu has made a great contribution!"

Speaking of this matter, Ning Wan felt that the person most responsible should be herself.

No one else knew, but I knew that the thief who married Sister Xi had already arrived at this time, and they dared to steal so many livestock at one time, they must have done it together!
I should go out and sue them in Hutai County!
But Ning Wan thought about it carefully, but only recalled that the thief who married sister Xi lived in Shuangtai Town, and knew nothing about the rest.One is because my father's health was very bad at that time, I was busy all day and didn't have time to spend more time with each other, and the thief was naturally very careful, how could he tell my aunt's family the real news?When he married Sister Xi's son back then, he also made excuses and didn't do it with much fanfare, so his father, as Sister Xi's biological uncle, didn't go to see him off, let alone him, and never saw him.

But Auntie and Sister Xi, who knew him before, don't know that there is such a person now!
Now that I don't have any evidence, I'm afraid I won't be able to sue.Thinking about it further, even the house in Shuangtai County was bought by the thief to marry Sister Xi. Now that Sister Xi has not met him, he may not live there.

I'm afraid we still have to wait until the future Second Young Master Lu returns to Hutai County before finding a way to catch these thieves.

Ning Wan went back to the house with a lot of thoughts. This time, she lost several donkeys and lost a lot of cat's claw vegetables. The business was affected, and she didn't have much money. Not enough to buy a donkey.

What's more, since my family collected mountain goods, there has been a constant flow of people in front of the door. The business is very prosperous, and it can be regarded as conspicuous in the town. It is inevitable that the thieves will not be tempted to see it. If they come again, what should I do?

After much deliberation, she couldn't fall asleep. Seeing that there was light on the window paper, she put on her clothes and got up, bypassing Sister Xi who was sleeping soundly, and went to the backyard.Although she knew that the thief would not come back after leaving, she still wanted to see the three surviving donkeys at home.

When he got to the shed, he saw Sun Gu sleeping with his head tilted against the pillar of the thatched shed. Before he could call him, he woke up with a start and jumped up holding a door latch in his arms: "Who is there?" !"

Ning Wan was taken aback, "Keep your voice down, don't wake everyone up!"

Only then did Sun Gu see that it was Ning Wan, and quickly put down the latch and called out, "Miss Dongjia."

"Why don't you go back to bed?"

In fact, Sun Gu was still a little sleepy, rubbed his eyes and said: "The donkey was lost at night, it was because of the two of us who slept too hard. Xiao Liu and I discussed it. From now on, we will take turns watching the donkey in front of the thatched shed."

Ning Wan smiled, "How can this be done? After a busy day, if you can't sleep well at night, you can't be a hardcore person!" He said, "Go back to the room and sleep, I will think of a way during the day."
