Traveling through the famine years, the best old woman, I was gnawed into the richest man by my children and grandchildren Chapter 219: To Live, You Have to Keep Moving Forward
Chapter 219: To Live, You Have to Keep Moving Forward
The man was still chattering: "Mom, it's so cheap! One hundred liters of grain will be yours! If you think it's too expensive, will you pay me the price?"
Ignoring the man, Lin Tao rolled her eyes at Xiao Wu.
In fact, she could also understand why Xiao Wu had such fear.
Not to mention that Xiao Wu has been unpopular since he was a child. Later, the original owner even sold Xiao Wu to the Wang family.
He even told Xiao Wu that if you marry the Wang family, you will be a member of the Wang family in life and a ghost of the Wang family in death.
Otherwise, with the fierceness of the original owner, would Wang Laifu dare to beat Xiao Wu to death?
What man is not afraid of a difficult mother-in-law?
What's more, there are still four brothers-in-law. Whenever he meets someone who loves his daughter, Wang Laifu is afraid that he will be beaten to the point of paralysis.
Xiaowu is accustomed to thinking and being afraid.
"Let's go." He took Xiaowu's hand and walked elsewhere.
At this moment, Li Wumei stared at the hand holding her, with extremely complicated emotions.
Growing up, this was the first time in my memory that her mother held her hand.
When she was a child, she was very envious of other people's mothers, and was especially curious about what it felt like to be led by her mother.
It turns out... so warm.
Behind her, the man was still shouting at her: "Auntie, eighty liters, okay?"
The further you go to the place where the animals are sold, the fewer and fewer people there are.
In the end, there were no more people coming and going! The stalls on both sides were also empty.
Lin Tao felt unsure. Could it be that no one would sell livestock anymore?
Fortunately, when we walked to the southeast corner, we finally saw a stable with several cows.
When the stall owner saw her, he came over with a smile.
However, I didn't expect that when the stall owner opened his mouth, he said, "Auntie, are you here to sell a cow? Your cow is very fat and can be sold for a good price."
As he said that, he touched and patted Niuzaizi.
"I'm here to buy livestock!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the stall owner stepped aside in embarrassment.
Lin Tao took a look and said, to be honest, the cow is thin and the horse is even thinner.
The shape of the bones on the horse’s belly is visible to the naked eye!
What's the use of buying such a skinny horse?
She planned to look at other stalls, but she didn't expect that the stall owner was also smart. He seemed to have noticed her intention and said: "Madam, don't look at it. I only have a few cows and horses in the market. Others'
, either sold long ago to eat meat, or killed long ago to eat. These days, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy food. If you can eat, you have to kill it long ago. Really, if you don’t believe it, just take a look
, I guarantee you will come back soon."
Lin Tao looked around. Not to mention, those barns were really empty.
There was not even a single footprint in the snow in front of the barn, so it looked like it had been empty for a long time.
"How to sell this horse?" Lin Tao asked.
"Sixty taels a horse is not expensive, right? This is a full-grown horse! The camel can be pulled and ridden, and it can be tamed very well."
The stall owner patted the horse's neck, and the horse shook as if it couldn't bear it and was about to fall over.
Lin Tao patted her forehead. Really, buying such a thing for sixty taels didn't even mean it was worth it. She just asked herself if she was stupid.
"What about the cow?"
Although the oxen pulls the cart a little slower, it seems that the oxen is stronger than the horse.
"Eighty cows." After saying that, the stall owner came forward and said in a low voice: "This cow has more meat than a horse and is rich in oil and water."
Lin Tao narrowed her eyes. You must know that cattle are used as farming tools here, and the government clearly stipulates that they are not allowed to be killed and eaten.
Unless the cow dies of old age and is reported to be in good condition, it can only be eaten.
If someone accuses you of slaughtering a cow, you will be tried as a homicide.
She was deep in thought, and Xiao Wu unexpectedly said in confusion: "Sixty for a horse, eighty for an ox? Are you crazy? The people selling people in the front are only two or three! When did animals become more valuable than humans?"
"What you are saying is wrong! In this time of great disaster, whoever has some money would be willing to eat human flesh! What's more, if that person buys it back, you will have to add a pair of chopsticks and a larger bowl! Who has more food?
You want others to help you eat? Right? There’s no comparison!”
Xiao Wu closed his mouth and remained silent.
These days, a living person is worth less than an animal!
"Four horses, two hundred taels." Lin Tao said.
The stall owner was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled. Two hundred taels! Not to mention now, even before the drought, that is not a figure that ordinary people can come up with!
He looked at the little old lady in front of him with his eyes.
I really didn’t realize that someone who didn’t even have a coat on his body could give out two hundred taels!
It shouldn’t be! Could it be that some house has a new wife?
"Chengchengcheng! Do you need the little one to be sent to your house?" If it were a mother from some house, I would have to please her!
If you gain favor, you might be able to find something to eat!
"Since my ancestors, we have been taming horses and raising cattle and livestock. Those who have serious illnesses or minor pains will be treated by the little one. If there is a lack of a handlebar or something in the old lady's house, will the little one be given a meal?
"
Seeing the stall owner trying to please him, Lin Tao shook his head.
He took out two gold ingots from his satchel and stuffed them into them.
The stall owner was dumbfounded.
"What are you doing standing still? Take him out!" Lin Tao urged.
The stall owner then came to his senses, responded properly, and pulled the four horses out of the barn.
Lin Tao looked at each horse carefully. It would be okay to be thinner, but don't buy one that is injured or sick. If you can't pull the cart, you will suffer a big loss.
Here she was checking, and the stall owner was urging her beside her.
"Old madam, do you see clearly? If you have no problem, I will leave first."
Two hundred taels! What should I do if someone robs me while walking around like this?
He was really convinced by this little old lady, holding two hundred taels in his arms, as if nothing was wrong with her.
These days, you can't have food and money, otherwise you don't know how you will die!
Lin Tao nodded, and the stall owner dragged a few cows and ran away as if they had seen a ghost.
It looked like he would die if he ran too slowly. Lin Tao was puzzled.
Lin Tao led the four horses, and Xiao Wu led the cowboy, and walked out in a mighty manner.
When we arrived at Fangshikou, the whole area suddenly became silent.
They all stared at the two women.
Xiaowu suddenly grabbed her hand: "Mom, the look in their eyes is so scary."
Lin Tao glanced around, pretending that nothing happened, and walked towards Fangshikou.
On the way back, she and Xiao Wu didn't speak for a long time.
Come to think of it, Xiao Wu must be as heavy-hearted as she is!
Especially Xiao Wu, after seeing the breastfeeding woman and the baby, he will more or less think of the sins he suffered in the Wang family.
But the world is like this, and she, Lin Tao, can't change anything!
The only thing you can do is to live a good life by yourself!
He turned his head to look at Xiao Wu and sighed.
"The past is past! You don't have to forget it, but don't let yourself sink into the past. When you live, you have to keep moving forward!"
Xiao Wu sniffed, and his previously blurry eyes now regained focus.
"Yes! My daughter has remembered it! From now on, my daughter must be like her mother and work hard to live a good life!"
Lin Tao nodded happily.
It may take a long time to change a person, but a change in mentality is the most important. This chapter has been completed!
