The unlucky guy was reborn as a lucky girl from a farm
Chapter 45: Eight Gossips by the River
The third brother opened his mouth wide, and it took him a while to react. He lowered his voice and said, "I didn't make that much money selling tofu. Where did you get the money to buy a donkey?"
Doctor Zhao explained, "A few days ago, Ni'er and I went to treat a wealthy family, and the family gave us a reward."
The third brother was shocked when he heard this. It was no wonder that they were from a wealthy family, as they spent four taels of money right away.
Ni'er didn't explain to her father, thinking that it was fine to just leave it as a misunderstanding, and she could use this excuse when there were new things at home.
The three of them were staring at a donkey in a daze, wondering how they were going to get back.
It was Nier who broke the deadlock first, "Dad, you put the buckets on the donkey and ride it back. Master and I will take the carriage."
The third brother nodded, tied the bucket with a rope, and straddled the donkey's back. He was reluctant to sit on it himself, so he led the donkey back.
I felt so happy along the way that I hummed a little tune as I entered the village.
Buying a donkey is a big deal. Although it can't catch up with a cow, it is still a laborer after all.
Everyone in the village knew that the third brother's family didn't have much money, so why did they bring back a donkey? Moreover, this donkey looked to be of excellent quality, and it was not comparable to those sickly and inferior ones. Just looking at the shiny color of its fur, you could tell that it was not cheap.
The news spread like wildfire throughout the village in no time.
An auntie with a loud voice returned to the river with a wash basin in her arms, "Guess who I just saw?"
My aunt shook her head at the names that everyone mentioned.
"I just saw Niu Lao San."
Widow Li had finished washing the clothes. It was noon and the sun was high in the sky. She was ready to leave. When she heard that it was about the third brother, she squatted down silently, picked up a clean piece of clothing, and pretended to wash it.
There were many gossipers in the crowd. "Aunt, stop keeping me in suspense. Come on, it's noon now. Go home and have a rest. Besides, you've already washed the clothes. What's the big deal that's worth coming back to talk about again?"
The aunt cleared her throat and said, "That's a big deal. Niu Lao San brought back a donkey."
When Widow Li heard the news, she became more determined. It seemed that Niu Lao San was quite capable. After the family was divided, he got a donkey so soon. If she followed him, she wouldn't have to worry for the rest of her life.
No one would have thought that the head of their family was actually a little kid.
"Oh~ their family is rich, they make new clothes and buy donkeys, auntie, please don't lie to us."
The aunt threw the basin away, put one hand on her waist, and with the other hand, she passed by the crowd with the momentum of sweeping away thousands of troops, and snorted coldly, "Why would I lie to you? I saw it with my own eyes. If you don't believe me, you can go to his house and see for yourself."
After saying that, he picked up the basin and left the chattering crowd.
Widow Li's slow-motion movements were captured by the people next to her, "Hey, didn't you wash these clothes before? Why are you washing them again?"
I was thinking about something and didn't notice that someone was asking me questions. I turned my head and said, "Oh, I saw a spot that wasn't cleaned. I'll rub it again."
The people around her looked at the clothes in her hands in confusion. They were obviously clean, so what happened? She looked like she had lost her soul.
The crowd was quiet for a while, and then suddenly burst out, "What do you think is going on? How come their family is suddenly so rich? Is the rumor true?"
"What rumors?"
"Oh~ I didn't even know that. It's just the rumor about Niu Xiaoni. Didn't they say she was a jinx before, but now she's a lucky star?"
"There is such a thing."
Suddenly he looked around and lowered his voice, "You believe this? I think it's because the third brother didn't get sucked dry by those people after the family split up that he is in his current situation."
"I don't think so. There are many people in the village who are hardworking and down-to-earth, and I haven't seen anyone buy a donkey."
Widow Li didn't want to listen any more, so she picked up the basin and left that annoying place. She felt that what they said was outrageous. What a bullshit lucky star. It was still the third brother who worked hard every day.
She lamented why she had never met a husband like him, but she was also secretly happy in her heart. Fortunately, the man died early, which gave her a chance.
Before Nier came to the town, she felt that the fourteen taels of silver were indeed a bit heavy, but now not only does she feel empty in her heart, her pocket is also empty, and she misses that weight a little.
Zhao Jincheng did not rush to hire a carriage, but brought Ni'er to the bookstore.
After entering the wooden door, what comes into view is the room full of bookshelves leaning against the walls. The bookshelves are filled with books, and the types of books are written on the bookshelves.
There are several cabinets on the floor, with books piled up on them, but the texture looks different from those on the shelves.
There is another inscription hanging on the wall opposite, which reads 'Reading nourishes one's spirit, and experience of the world enhances one's heroic spirit'.
This bookstore was originally two shops merged into one. The air here feels different from other places. If you smell it carefully, you can smell the scent of fresh ink mixed with the fragrance of paper, which can make people calm down instantly.
Compared to the bustling town, this place is like a quiet paradise.
There was already a customer in the bookstore. He was wearing simple clothes that looked a little pale from washing and had several patches on them. He was picking out books.
Ni'er suddenly remembered that she wanted to buy a calligraphy copybook for her brother before. This was the perfect opportunity. There was still some money in the system. As long as it was not too expensive, she could take it back today.
The bookstore owner saw that the two were dressed neatly and should be respectable people with money to buy books. He walked out from behind the counter, first called the waiter over, whispered a few words, and then walked closer to the two people, "What books are you looking for?"
Zhao Jincheng directly stated his purpose, "Looking for some medical books, are there any here?"
The shopkeeper thought that he had a big business. Books were not cheap to begin with, and medical books were even more expensive. He smiled and said, "This way, please."
The waiter picked up a feather duster and began to sweep the dust around the customer who was reluctant to leave.
The customer understood what the waiter meant, but since he hadn't made a choice yet, he didn't want to bother with him. He turned around and left the place, and went to look somewhere else.
Ni'er and her master came to a bookshelf, looked around and found that the books on it looked very familiar.
Zhao Jincheng frowned, "Are these all you have? I have them all at home."
When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately looked up to Zhao Jincheng. He thought that he must be very rich to have such a cabinet of books, so he must not miss this business opportunity. "How about this, you can tell me a few book titles, and I will go to buy them. You can come back in a few days."
Zhao Jincheng thought that this was a relatively large bookstore in the town. If there was no such a store here, the others should be similar.
The main reason was that my feet were sore after walking for a whole morning, but seeing that the little disciple looked calm and composed, I couldn't let him show any sign of fatigue.
