Hot Farmer's Wife: Buying a Husband for the Farm

Chapter 34



Going Home

“Daishi Village is not far from the town, but you have too many things,” the old man said as he rode the ox-cart.

In the morning, he had been wondering which village they were from. He didn’t expect it to be Daishi Village.

...

“Hehe, old man, which village are you from? Do you ride the ox-cart often?” Lin Xiaoyue asked with a smile, redirecting the question to him.

“Shangyang Village next to yours. I only ride in the morning, four times a day.”

Lin Xiaoyue’s eyes lit up.

“Is the time fixed every day?” Asked Lin Xiaoyue.

“Yes.”

After chatting with the old man for a while, Lin Xiaoyue found out that there were ox-carts that went back and forth. The ox-carts set off every day, some in the morning, some in the afternoon.

Usually, people from the villages would wait by the main road to go to town. To return, they would wait under the slanted tree. The ox-carts would leave when they were full. It was similar to taking buses in Lin Xiaoyue’s previous life.

“Then I can ride the ox-carts to town in the future!” Lin Xiaoyue said happily.

“Hehe, girl, do you need to go to town often?” The old man asked with a smile.

“Yes, we are hunters. I want to go to town to sell the goods!”

After chatting with the old man for a while, Lin Xiaoyue asked curiously, “Old man, how much does it cost to buy an ox-cart?”

It would be troublesome to wait for the cart. Not only did she have to wait for it to be full, all her things might not even fit.

It would be great if she had her own cart. She could leave anytime she wanted to. Moreover, she could make a shed to cover the carriage and buy as many things as she wanted.

Liu Shi looked at her daughter.

The old man laughed.

“Cattle are expensive. The price starts at 6 taels. For oxen like these that are used for transportation, they would cost more than 10 taels.”

“10 taels…” Lin Xiaoyue muttered.

“And that’s only the price of the ox. You still need to pay for the cart. My cart is relatively simple and crude. When I bought it, I only spent 1 tael. If you want a seat, it would cost at least 2 taels,” the old man added.

So in total it would cost at least 12 taels. With about 15 taels, she should be able to buy a relatively good ox-cart.

Lin Xiaoyue then asked the old man for the location to buy an ox-cart in town.

As they talked, they soon arrived.

The mother and daughter got off the cart. Lin Xiaoyue paid the fare and walked into the village with Liu Shi.

After they walked far away from the main road and Lin Xiaoyue made sure that there was no one around, she and Liu Shi put most of the things they bought into their interspatial ring.

Then, they went back to the village.

After entering the village, the mother and daughter ran into many villagers.

Seeing that they didn’t seem to have much in their baskets and the stuff they got were even covered with branches, not many people questioned them.

When they reached Aunt Wang’s house, the Wang family was about to have dinner.

Seeing that they were back, they immediately invited them to stay for dinner.

They refused. They said that they still had things to do at home, so Lin Xiaoyue let her mother take Lin Xiaozhi away. Then, she returned the four baskets to the Wang family before chasing after her mother and brother.

When they returned home and pushed open the broken door, the joy on their faces disappeared.

The wooden bucket was flipped over, and the water ladle was thrown to the ground. One of the two stools was already in pieces, and the other one was in worse condition than. The firewood that Liu Shi had tidied up last night in front of the stove was also messed up.

The tattered bedsheets on the bed were pulled down and thrown to the ground, and the straw on the bed was messy.

Lin Xiaoyue only felt a wave of anger rising in her. She turned around and was about to charge out.

Unexpectedly, she was pulled back by Liu Shi.
