Chapter 35
Ming's father thought about it and thought Mingxiu was right.
"I will do as you say. If anyone comes and asks me, I will only say that the money is enough to build a house, and nothing else."
"now it's right."
Seeing that the father and daughter had reached a consensus, Xie Zhan held his stomach and looked at the two of them, "Why hasn't Auntie come back yet? I'm a little hungry."
"You should be back soon. Just wait. I'll go to the warehouse to get some beans to feed the horses."
Although he got it for free, horses are rare and must be taken good care of.
Mingxiu thought for a while, "Go back to the town and take a car. It will be easier for us to have an animal to and from the town."
She had never seen a horse, so she naturally had no idea what a horse meant at this time. It was only used as a means of transportation.
Xie Zhan had no objection. After he rode back, the horse didn't have much effect. It could help Mingxiu a little, but it couldn't be said that he had been raised as a boudoir daughter, right?
"You are so mischievous, why do you have to go to get a carriage? Our cart can be modified to be horse-drawn. Do you know how expensive the carriages in this town are? Even if you have money, you can't be extravagant.
!”
Mingxiu was so trained that he couldn't raise his head, so he could only say helplessly: "Isn't it better for me to look at the horse? Do you think our broken car is a waste?"
How much weight can the cart carry? Every time I go back to the town and fill it up, I have to worry about whether it will fall apart. It is really inappropriate to change it to a horse-drawn cart. It is better to go to the town and buy a good one that can be used for a long time.
Even longer.
Ming's father was a man who valued livestock. Hearing Mingxiu's words, he immediately laughed, "What you said is true. Our old car is really not worthy, so let's get a better one so that we can carry more cargo in the future."
"
With the horses brought back by Xie Zhan, the cows that Mingxiu had originally planned on were put on hold for the time being.
We don't have much land at home, so getting oxen to plow the land is the second most important thing, and the most important thing is pulling the cart.
When Ming's mother came back, the family had a good meal and finally had a good rest.
Since Xie Zhan came back, there have been many people who overtly and secretly inquired about how much money the Ming family had. If they didn't have much money, how could they buy a carriage?
As for Xie Zhan's words, not many believe them.
In their opinion, how much money is a horse worth? How much does it cost to stay in an inn? Since a horse dealer can be a businessman, he is not a fool. How can Xie Zhan catch up with him in all his good deeds?
Although there are many people who speculate, they really no longer look down on the Ming family as they did before.
Even if we don't mention Xie Zhan's return, Mingxiu is someone who goes to the Yamen as soon as he says it, and they won't easily offend him.
Originally, because the village paid money to the Ming family, the village chief had not come to visit for a long time. After Xie Zhan came back, he couldn't sit still again.
"Brother Ming, what I told you last time..."
It's not that the village chief is impatient, but the Chinese New Year is coming soon. If it can be confirmed that everyone can open new land next spring, this year will be more comfortable, right?
The village chief also wants to make some achievements for his village.
"Then again, we need to learn one hundred liters each." Ming's father said simply, "You are the village chief, and I won't hide it from you. Xie Zhan came out here just to open a land for my family. Capital City
A high-ranking official gave dozens of silver to buy it, and they are all fellow villagers. If it is too much, it will be embarrassing, but my dear brother has settled the score, so he can't give me a penny so that my family can be a good person, right?"
What's wrong with being a good person?
The village chief muttered in his heart, but when he met the eyes of Mingxiu and Xie Zhan, he did not say what he was thinking.
In fact, the village chief didn't have the shame to say it. In the past, he didn't see anyone being a good person to the Ming family. Now it's ironic that he keeps talking about the villagers. If he wants to force it again...
Just like Ming's father said, they can sell the method at a high price, and some people are willing to accept it.
The village chief sighed inwardly. The original reason for not doing anything for such a long time was not only because someone in the village damaged Ming's land and it was shameful, but also because he wanted to leave it open deliberately to make Ming's father panic, so that he could talk about it later.
But I didn't expect that he didn't worry about it at all. No matter how much he thought about it, it was useless.
"Then I'll discuss it with the villagers. I think there aren't many people willing to spend money. If they learn how to let them go..."
So what if the Ming family is different and still doesn’t have to pay much money, let alone ask for it?
Ming Xiu smiled, "My family doesn't care, but I think our village still understands that there are many people. You only need to think about how valuable my method is. If you still think it's a hundred dollars, just don't come to the door."
Originally, she wanted to use the hundred coins to make a good sale to the villagers, but now that disgusting things have happened one after another, she no longer has that intention.
If he really wanted to play tricks on her, she wouldn't be afraid. She already had the hundred taels of silver she wanted. It would be nice to have more. If not, it wouldn't matter.
The village chief already knew that Mingxiu was a tough guy. Although the matter of losing money made him feel uncomfortable, he was also a little afraid of this silly girl from the Ming family.
He didn't say much, just said goodbye and left.
At this point, the Ming family began to lively prepare for the New Year. Even including Xie Zhan's family, there were only four people.
