Chapter 24

Li Manguan’s plan failed

Several people came out of the Yamen, but no one said a word.

Especially Qin Daniu and Qin Erniu, even though the matter was settled like this, they still felt panicked in their hearts.

Qin Zhiyi looked at his two brothers and knew what they were thinking.

It was also because of what Li Manguan said before, saying that her two children were born from an affair.

She was actually quite depressed about this incident, and it was not like the original owner had not thought about it at first.

She even thought about whether it was someone from the Li family, but she tried it one by one and found that it was not the Li family.

This means that someone else came to the house that day, and it was a combination of circumstances that made this happen.

After just taking a few steps, Qin Zhiyi said: "Big brother and second brother, I know you are still thinking about what Li Manguan said. I really don't know who the father of the child is, so don't ask. This child is quite lovable.

Regardless of whether I can find their biological father in the future, I will raise them well."

Qin Daniu said: "Ayi, that's not what I mean. I'm just worried that Li Manguan will make you unhappy if he mentions this matter today."

Qin Erniu also said: "Yes, sister, my brothers never meant to blame you. The only blame is that the Li family is too beastly. I also see that the two little guys are very lovable. From now on, this matter will be over."

No, we won’t even mention it.”

When her two brothers said this, she felt relieved.

Looking at Fei Chengsheng next to him, Qin Zhiyi suddenly thought about a question, what would he think of himself?

Do you think she is unruly? She is married, but she still has a child with another man?

But then she thought about it, no matter what she thought, it was all her own business. Anyway, she was a widow with two children, and she never thought about getting married again.

Fei Chengsheng said at this time: "There is a shop in front of me. I want to buy some leather. Why don't I take some bear skins and ask if I want them."

Just in case, several people brought bear skins with them when they came out of Qinjiazhuang.

Now when they talked about selling bearskins, the brothers' eyes lit up.

"It's okay to ask. Brother Fei has a good eye and can spot the biggest family in town at a glance."

In fact, he didn't know that this was the largest family in the town.

But just looking at the store, he felt that even if the bear skin was worth a thousand taels, he probably couldn't afford it.

But soon, a few people walked in with the attitude of giving it a try.

When the shopkeeper saw a group of people coming, he immediately came out smiling.

"What do the guests want?"

When he saw Qin Daniu and Qin Erniu, he immediately said: "It turns out they are the Qin brothers. What do you want to sell today?"

Qin Daniu, as his name suggests, was as strong as an ox, so he threw the bear skin he was carrying on the ground.

"Shopkeeper, look at this bearskin, how much is it worth?"

"This...this is a good thing, let me take a look first."

It was the first time for the shopkeeper to see a bearskin.

He bent down and carefully stroked the bear's fur with both hands.

"The fur is soft and shiny. It looks like it's a male. How on earth did you hunt this bear? There's not even a single damaged spot on it?"

Qin Erniu was impatient and said directly: "Shopkeeper, just tell me whether you want this bear skin and how much you can pay for it. Don't worry about that much."

The shopkeeper touched his chin and said: "Then I'll tell you the truth. This bear skin is of the highest quality, costing at least a thousand taels. But you also know that we are a small business in this town. If you sell it,

Give it to me, I will give you this number at most. After all, after I collect this number, I have to take it to the city to see if there is anyone there to collect it. If not, you have to put it here for me to store."

The shopkeeper made a six sign, Qin Erniu looked at Qin Daniu, and Qin Daniu looked at Fei Chengsheng.

Fei Chengsheng, on the other hand, looked at Qin Zhiyi.

Qin Zhiyi said: "The price the shopkeeper gave me must be a reasonable price. But if we let the shopkeeper take the risk, we have to discount 400 taels of silver. No matter what, it is not cost-effective."

"Thank you, shopkeeper, for your estimate. Thanks to your words, we have a good idea. I just don't know if the shopkeeper has a way to sell the goods?"

Of course he has ways to sell goods, after all, he is doing this kind of business.

Now when I heard the young lady in front of me ask this question, I had to sigh with emotion. After all, this young lady was thoughtful.

So he said: "There is a way, but you have to send it to the city. There is a family named Gao in the city. I always sell to him every time. They spend a lot of money. As for our small town, I can guarantee that they will not outbid me."

It’s higher.”

"Thank you, shopkeeper, for the reminder."

Qin Zhiyi has decided that even if it is a trip, it is still worth it for four hundred taels of silver.

Qin Zhiyi asked again about the specific location, and the others withdrew and began to discuss among themselves.

Qin Daniu said: "I think it's better to make a trip by myself. Four hundred taels of silver is quite a lot."

In Qin Daniu's view, it was already too big for him to hunt a tiger for a few months and sell it. Moreover, the skins of the tigers he hunted were often damaged, and they were sold for a dozen or twenty taels of silver at most.

Four hundred taels of silver won't allow him to kill dozens of tigers.

Usually when he fights a tiger, he almost sacrifices half his life.

So, what’s wrong with taking two steps?

Qin Erniu also echoed: "I think the elder brother is right. The extra four hundred taels of silver will make it worth the trip."

After saying that, both of them looked at Fei Chengsheng: "Brother Fei, what do you think?"

Fei Chengsheng said hurriedly: "Of course I am willing to do what my two brothers said."

The two of them hit it off and immediately decided that Qin Daniu and Fei Chengsheng would go to the city to sell bear skins.

As for Qin Erniu, his temper was too bad, and there was still a man at home, so Qin Erniu and Qin Zhiyi returned to Qinjiazhuang first.

After the agreement was reached, Qin Daniu and Fei Chengsheng directly hired two horses in the town and headed to the city on their bearskins.

Qin Zhiyi and Qin Erniu drove an ox cart and slowly headed to Qinjiazhuang.

By the time the two returned to Qinjiazhuang, the sun had already set.

When Qin Zhuang saw that there were only two people coming back, he didn't dare to say anything. He just lowered his voice and asked, "How is everything going? Did you give the bear skin to someone else?"

Qin Zi often saw a few people coming back, so he rushed over without caring about so many people.

Afraid of worrying her mother, Qin Zhiyi hurriedly said: "Things have been settled, mother, don't worry, I'm fine."

Although she didn't know how the matter was resolved, Qin Zhuang was relieved after hearing Qin Zhiyi's words.

Qin Zichang said at this moment: "Daughter, Daniel, have the bearskins been sold? Where is your eldest brother and the one named Fei?"

Qin Zhiyi said: "Eldest brother and brother Fei went to the city to sell bear skins, but the town couldn't pay that price."

"Can't pay that price? Then, how much can the bear skin be sold for?"

Qin Erniu immediately said: "Dad, the shopkeeper in the town said that it can sell for thousands of taels, but if it is sold at his place, it can only sell for 600 taels, so the eldest brother and Brother Fei went to the city to sell it."
