When Uncle Wang looked at the donkey, he had already seen the wound on the donkey's leg. The wound was indeed almost healed, and he also observed the way the donkey walked. Although the donkey shed was not big, the donkey was inside.
I don't feel lame when I walk around, so I guess there is nothing wrong with my legs.
For fear that these two people would be scrupulous, the villagers directly took the little donkey out of the donkey shed, and led the donkey for several laps in a relatively wide area in front of everyone. After confirming that the donkey's legs were correct, the decision was made.
Now that Brother Huang is no longer in the middle, Uncle Wang is naturally not as scrupulous as before. He directly asked: "How do you plan to sell this donkey?"
Village Chief Huang had no intention of asking for a price, and the villagers also knew what price the little donkey was originally offered for. Village Chief Huang said: "Brother Huang asked for 25 taels of silver before, but he didn't sell it for a long time. We are all villagers."
, I don’t want to embarrass you, how about 22 taels, which is 3 taels lower than the original price.”
Village Chief Huang sounded as if he had suffered a big loss, but the donkey came for free, and the money naturally came for free, so why should he suffer any loss?
And if this price was set by Brother Huang, it would definitely be OK. The current market price of donkeys outside is almost the same, but now this price is set by the village. Not to mention Uncle Wang, even Aunt Wang disagrees.
.
When it came time to negotiate the price, it was the ladies in the family who took the initiative.
Aunt Wang squeezed directly in front of the three of them and began to talk about the price with Village Chief Huang. Aunt Wang said directly: "The price is too high. So what was the situation before and what is the situation now? Our Lao Wang and
Lao Huang's friendship is not shallow. I didn't want to buy it at first. If I did, the price would definitely be lower than this."
Village Chief Huang hesitated for a while. It wasn't that he believed in the good relationship between Uncle Wang and Brother Huang in front of him, but that this man obviously just wanted to negotiate the price, and he didn't want to waste more time on it, so he asked directly: "Then
How much do you plan to buy it for?"
"In this case, 17 taels of silver."
Aunt Wang immediately lost five taels of silver as soon as she opened her mouth. However, it was impossible for 17 taels to buy a donkey, even if it was an injured donkey. Village Chief Huang refused and said: "This price is too low.
If you don’t sincerely buy it, then there’s no need to talk.”
Seeing that Village Chief Huang seemed to be angry, Aunt Wang did not touch her and said bluntly: "If we didn't want to buy it, we wouldn't have come all the way here. So how much silver can we sell it for, but your 22 taels are too much."
It’s high.”
Village Chief Huang thought for a while and then said: "The price is 20 taels. If you sincerely want to buy it, you can make a deal at this price. If it doesn't work, just go out and look around."
Seeing that Village Chief Huang was relieved, Aunt Wang naturally wanted to take a step further. She said: "18 taels, I won't pay you back 18 taels."
Village Chief Huang shook his head and said nothing. Obviously he disagreed with this price. Although there was not much difference between 18 taels and 20 taels for Wen Wen and Wen Yu, who could save a little bit, so in Aunt Wang's case
During the counter-offer, the Wen brothers and sisters just watched without saying a word.
But at this price, although Village Chief Huang doesn't want to sell it, the villagers are willing. Raising three donkeys in the village does not count as an expense, but it still requires labor. More donkeys means more work, not to mention that the money belongs to the village and does not belong to them.
, it is said that the money in the village belongs to everyone, but who knows when it can be used for yourself, so it is better to sell the donkey early, not to mention that 18 taels of silver is actually not low.
Already.
Seeing that Village Chief Huang didn't speak, the surrounding villagers became a little anxious. Aunt Wang grasped this point and took them directly to the donkey cart immediately. Aunt Wang all got on, Wen Xin and Wen Yu naturally
He also tried his best to cooperate with Aunt Wang. As he watched the three people get on the donkey cart, Uncle Wang naturally got into the donkey cart too. When the group saw that they were about to leave, the villagers became even more anxious.
"village head."
"Village chief, 18 taels is fine."
"Yes, this donkey is for nothing anyway. Eighteen taels is a lot, so just sell it."
"Yes, village chief. There are a lot of sick people in the village now. Who has time to take care of one more donkey? Let's just sell it."
When Village Chief Huang heard this, he glared at these talkative villagers. The main reason was that they didn't know who's tricks. Village Chief Huang felt that if he kept his mouth shut, he would definitely be able to make a deal with 20 taels of silver. After all, Wang
The uncle himself is driving a donkey cart. He doesn’t know the price of a donkey. 20 taels is already a good deal. You can’t buy a donkey at the market for 20 taels. However, his teammates around him are holding him back. They all say so.
Well, now he has beaten the price to death without selling the donkey. Instead, he will be gossiped by the villagers.
After glaring at everyone, Village Chief Huang spoke again: "Let's each take a step back. 19 taels, Uncle Wang, 19 taels for a new-year-old donkey is already a good deal. Don't you know the price of donkeys outside?"
No matter how low it is, we would rather not sell it.”
However, 19 taels is really enough. Uncle Wang nodded towards Aunt Wang, and Aunt Wang naturally agreed on behalf of the Wen family, "Okay, 19 taels is 19 taels, let's sign the deed, and the donkey will be mine now."
Pull away."
Village Chief Huang sighed and then agreed, "Okay, you can come with us."
Village Chief Huang took the group of them to his own home. This was the same as in their village. To solve some small problems, if anything was needed, they would go directly to the village chief's house. If it was something more important, or something needed
When the whole village gathers together to solve a problem, then the problem must not be a trivial matter. The only place that can solve the problem is the village ancestral hall, but for such trivial matters as theirs, go to the village chief
It can be solved directly at home.
The village chief led them in front, and the villagers led the donkeys behind them. After a busy period of work, the two parties signed the contract and paid the money in front of everyone, and the business was completed.
The little donkey also belongs to their family.
Naturally, Wen Yu entrusted such valuable things to Wen Wen for safekeeping. After seeing Wen Wen put the things away, a group of four people plus a newly purchased little donkey set out on their journey home.
The little donkey who was suddenly taken away showed no discomfort at all. He even seemed quite happy to be able to leave here. Even Uncle Wang said: "This donkey seems to be in a good mood."
The little donkey walked briskly, and after walking a few steps, it would make excited noises. From time to time, it would rush to Wen Xin and Wen Yu's sides to lick it! After doing it for a few times, Aunt Wang looked on and laughed: "It's because
You have a fate with this donkey, just like when our donkey was first bought back, you were just as happy at the time."
