Chapter 182 This is the reason why she doesn't want to clean up

When Lin Tao put the wooden box containing the house deed into her arms, she also noticed that Xu Deren still smiled so openly and freely.

I couldn't help but feel a little more admiration.

There are really not many people who can treat others with such sincerity.

Lin Tao sold 400 hu of dendrobium salt out of the 500 hu that she originally bought.

One hundred and forty dendrobiums per hu, a total of only fifty-six taels.

Taking the document written by Shopkeeper Xu, Lin Tao looked at it carefully.

The document was written in great detail, including the quantity of salt, the transaction price, the total amount owed, and even the mortgage deed.

Xu Deren said in a low voice: "Madam, the room is not bright. If you can't see clearly, can I read it to you?"

Lin Tao smiled and shook her head, putting the document in her arms.

There was nothing she could not be open about. This was Xu Deren's excuse because he was afraid that she was illiterate and would not be able to speak directly.

After all, there are probably not many old ladies like the original owner who can read.

The reason why she watched slowly was mainly because she wanted Zhu Donghua to bake more.

Before leaving, Lin Tao said a few words.

"Shopkeeper Xu, you have to really sell this salt! Four days later, I will send you charcoal, and you will have to pay for it together with the charcoal. If you don't have money, I will really have to close your shop."

Xu Deren smiled and nodded in agreement: "Don't worry, Madam!"

Watching the bullock cart drive away, Little Plum beside her muttered.

"Shopkeeper, why are you so sincere? If something really goes wrong, will you really give her the shop?"

Xu Deren smiled and said: "A gentleman's words are hard to follow. As long as you agree to it, no matter what the best outcome is, you must keep your word."

"You are true to your word. Without this shop, you will lose your home! Why don't you know how to worry?"

"Who said I'm not in a hurry?" Xu Deren hit Little Plum on the head: "Go, get ready quickly, I'll run from house to house."

Here, Mrs. Zhu happily asked: "Mom, are you going home?"

Lin Tao shook his head: "There's no hurry, I have to go to the blacksmith shop."

"No..." Mrs. Zhu, whose smile froze on her face, said in a low voice, "Mom! Do you really want to buy that?"

"What if?"

Although Mrs. Zhu looked worried, she still led her in the direction of the blacksmith shop.

Just like last time, when Lin Tao said she was here to buy a knife, the blacksmith was so frightened that she immediately coaxed her out.

"Old lady, just be okay, don't come and test me all the time, okay? There are old and young in my family, so I can't have what you want! Besides, what you want to do is your business. Whatever you do, always

Just think about dragging me into this troubled waters! I don’t have it, I really don’t have it!”

Qingyuan Town is a border town. It is not a big town and there are only one or two blacksmiths in the town.

"Then shall I buy the kitchen knife assembly?"

"No, no! If you only buy a kitchen knife, I won't say anything. What's the matter with you asking for two hundred? If you use one every day, it will last half a year!"

"You're talking about you! How many kitchen knives I buy is my business. I have money, so why can't I buy a fresh one every day? I still don't make money even if I have money! How can I get through this severe winter without money?"

The blacksmith looked ugly.

The words are hard to hear, but they make sense when you think about it.

After a long while, he nodded with difficulty and said: "When do you want it?"

"Now!"

The blacksmith shook his head: "Who has nothing to do? He spends all day making kitchen knives for fun! If you want it now, don't specify. It will take half a month at the earliest!"

This time it was Lin Tao's turn to be dumbfounded.

Half a month, if I really want to do something, it will be extremely cold!

Lin Tao tried to talk to her, but the blacksmith shook her head. Finally, he even pushed her away and tried to close the door.

In other words, Lin Tao was so strong that she grabbed half of the door, and the two of them almost tore down the door forcefully.

"Old lady, can you just let me go? Although I have no money, I may starve to death, but you are forcing me to die today!"

As long as she, Lin Tao, has some half-measures, that's all.

"Everyone has his own difficulties. If you want to live, I also want to live!"

"Okay, okay, let me go and I'll give you a trick, okay?"

Lin Tao gratefully let go of her hand.

"You, please ask someone from the government to think of something. There are a lot of scrap iron tools in the government's arsenal. As long as you give a small amount of money, you can have as much as you want."

Lin Tao was about to say thank you, but as soon as she pulled away, the door closed with a bang, just like sending off the plague.

Smiling awkwardly, she thought of Xu Anzi.

"Well, this last bit of charcoal is not worthy of being taken home."

Following the address Xu Anzi left, Lin Tao went there.

This is an extremely ordinary small courtyard in Qingyuan Town.

Knocking on the small wooden door that was only one person wide, Xu Anzi's voice sounded inside.

Lin Tao hurriedly reported her name.

Xu Anzi opened the door enthusiastically, "Madam? Come on, sit inside."

"No, I was just thinking about going home! When I saw the charcoal, I thought if your family would have to spend money to buy it, so I brought it to you. If you don't mind, just keep it."

"Ahem, what are you talking about? Thank you for thinking about it, ma'am."

Dislike it? Are you kidding me? That’s a tael of silver and ten pounds of fine charcoal from a wealthy family!

Passing the charcoal, Lin Tao said smoothly: "Master Xu, I would like to ask you for a favor."

"Mom, why are you being polite to me? Tell me."

Lin Tao bowed his head and explained the whole story, and finally said: "There is no way, a village of unarmed people must rely on these guys to save their lives at a critical moment!"

Surprisingly, Xu Anzi didn't even feel embarrassed at all and readily agreed.

"My aunt has helped me so much. It's really unreasonable that she can't handle such a small thing. How about you come in first and have a sip of hot water to warm yourself up, and then I'll take you over?"

Lin Tao hurriedly refused and said: "The road back to the village is not easy. I want to get it done as soon as possible while there is still light. Next time I come to town, I will send you more charcoal."

Xu Anzi said "you're welcome" and "no need", but his face broke out into a smile.

With Xu Anzi's help, Lin Tao bought more than a hundred used weapons for only twenty taels of silver.

Look, things get done easily when people are familiar with each other. They are always so practical in any era.

What she didn't expect was that Xu Anzi didn't change hands during the whole process, which showed that he didn't make a penny in those twenty-two miles.

Finally, he was afraid that she would not be able to pass the city gate, so he sent them out personally.

Leaving the gate of Qingyuan Town, Lin Tao took Niu Zaizi's reins.

"You go to the car and take a nap! It's been almost a day and a night."

"Mom, I'm not tired! You can go to the car and have a rest."

Look, this is why she doesn’t want to clear up her innocence. Tired!

He simply darkened his face and said, "What's the matter? I can't control you anymore? Let me tell you Zhu Donghua, don't think that I can let you rest at home just because you make yourself sick! I don't have any extra food to feed idle people!"

"

"Mom! That's not what I meant."

"Then what do you mean? You made yourself like that, don't you just want others to think that I, the mother-in-law, am tormenting you!"

"Mom! I really am not..."

"Then get in the car and rest!"
