After eating and drinking, the village head and several clan uncles took Yuan Ye to see the land. v Yuanye originally wanted to demolish the former dilapidated thatched hut and build a dyeing workshop on it, so that Yuanye couldn't buy much at all.The village head discussed with several clan uncles, and he accepted ten taels of silver on behalf of the entire Yuan family village. This is not arable land, and there is no need to declare it to the government.After collecting the money, the village chief wrote it down in the handbook handed down from the ancestors.

Yuan Ye didn't find it. There were two strangers in the crowd watching the excitement. One of them, a man in his forties, pointed to Yuan Ye and asked the villagers, "This is Yuan Ye?"

The villager nodded and said, "That's right, Yuan Ye is really capable. I heard that a house is going to be built again."

"I heard that a brother came to his house some time ago, he looks fair and beautiful, I wonder if it's true?" the man asked again.

"Are you here to see my beautiful brother? Hey! It's a pity that you came late. It seems that my brother was sent away..." Liu Ersao said.

Another person answered, "I haven't seen that brother Yu for two days. What kind of vision do you think Yuan Ye has? You don't like it when you are beautiful, but you just like Zhao Xiaoyu."

"Do you know where to send it?" asked another stranger.

The people around looked at each other, "I've never heard of it..."

The young men in the crowd felt sorry for each other and complained, "Yuanye doesn't like it himself, and he won't leave it to us..."

Cao Amo said, "Brother Yu is so cute, can you afford it?"

The man in his forties was the thug raised by Cuihonglou, his name was Zheng San.The other thug was in his thirties, named Wen Guang.This morning, the little beggar Xiaogenzi really came to the Cuihong Building to deliver the news. When the madam heard it, she suspected that it was brother Yu who ran away before. The two were sent by the madam to inquire about the news.

Zheng San and Wen Guang confirmed the news of Brother Yu and heard that he was sent away, so they had to go back first to report.

Last night, the three members of Gamper's family slept on the bed boards. Yuan Ye's family had beds, but no mattresses or quilts.It's nothing to sleep for one night in the summer, but he can't let them sleep on the bed every day.

Zhao Xiaohu was going to the town to buy meat to make stewed vegetables, so Yuan Ye went with him.

"Going to the market tomorrow, get up early to buy cattle. By the way, I need to book a carriage with Carpenter Liu." Yuanye said.

"Okay! Together tomorrow?" Zhao Xiaohu agreed without thinking too much about going to the market in the morning and selling braised pork in the afternoon.

Yuanye glanced at him, "You call Xiaoyu tomorrow."

"Oh~" Zhao Xiaohu called out ambiguously.

Yuan Ye was unmoved, "What's your ghost name? I'm afraid he'll stay at home and your mother always asks him to work."

Zhao Xiaohu rolled his eyes, "Tch!"

When they arrived in the town, the two separated. Yuanye went to Li Ji to sell 40 pieces of fruit and harvested [-] taels.I went to buy more than ten sets of quilts and sheets, and I also ordered dozens of catties of cotton.He didn't just buy quilts for the Gamper family. He has money now, so he should buy more to be prepared, lest the family is always in a tight spot.In addition to these, he went to the grocery store to buy some seasonings such as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.The two acres of dry land in the wilderness has harvested a lot of wheat, which can be directly ground into flour to be the staple food.But Yuanye didn't want to eat pasta every day, so he bought a hundred catties of rice.The rice of this era is not as big as it is in modern times, and the color is not pure white, presenting a faint yellow.Although it is not good-looking, it is original ecology.

Yuanye bought so much, of course he couldn't leave by himself, and when Zhao Xiaohu came, he would all be pulled back with a bullock cart.

Ah Gan and the others were very happy to receive the bedding assigned by the master,

"By the way, can Ah Gan know how to do needlework?"

Amo Gan nodded, "My needlework is okay, so can Qingqing."

Yuan Ye went back to the house and gave him three bolts of cotton cloth and about ten catties of cotton. Two bolts of cotton cloth were dark gray and one bolt was brown. Good morning, just watch and do it yourself."

The next day, Yuan Ye tidied himself up and went to Zhao's house early in the morning.

Buying a cow is a big deal, and the Zhao family of four got up early and was eating.Yuan Ye is now the son-in-law of the Zhao family, and as soon as Mr. Zhao saw him, he greeted him for dinner.

Mrs. Wang Zhao was reluctant to take out the stewed meat for sale to eat at home. Looking at the not-so-rich breakfast on the table, Yuan Ye took out a large stack of leek pancakes wrapped in oil paper.

"Father, I've eaten it. Here's a pack of leek pancakes for you. They've just been baked, so it's just right to eat them now."

Zhao Xiaohu was overjoyed when he saw it, he was not used to being back at his home now, Eh Mu and Xiaoyu couldn't bear to cook with oil!

"It's better for you to eat. Aww, it smells so good!" Zhao Xiaohu said with his eyes narrowed while biting the pancake.

Zhao Wang's attitude towards Zhao Xiaoyu is much better now, and he still expects Zhao Xiaoyu to subsidize her natal family a lot after marrying Yuanye, not to mention Yuanye is still watching.He took a pancake for Zhao Xiaoyu, and said, "Xiaoyu, eat more, you look thin."

Zhao Xiaoyu glanced at Yuanye, smiled and took a bite of half a cake.

Father Zhao has never been able to buy a cow for his family in his whole life, and he doesn't know anything about buying a cow, but Zhao Xiaohu and Yuan Ye have gained experience in raising cattle, and in the end it was only the three of them who set off.

Because it was a market day, there were quite a lot of people in the town.The market in Lianghe Town is every five and ten, and people from more than a dozen nearby villages will come to sell some small things.The livestock and live animals are on the southeast side of the town, just pass the pork shop that Zhao Xiaohu frequents on weekdays and walk a few dozen meters inward.There are not many people here during free time, occasionally someone comes to sell some chickens, ducks, geese and so on.The market is lively, and there are cats and dogs, weasels, rabbits, donkeys, cattle and even horses.

It was the first time for Zhao Xiaoyu to see so many living creatures, and he looked around curiously along the way.There were a lot of people on the street, Yuan Ye was afraid that he would get lost, so he secretly held his hand.Zhao Xiaoyu was a little embarrassed, and let him go after struggling twice.They're already engaged, and it's a matter of gossiping when people see them.

"Why does that brother keep looking at us?" Zhao Xiaoyu pulled Yuan Ye's hand to signal.

"what?"

The streets were full of voices and livestock neighing, Yuan Ye followed Zhao Xiaoyu's gaze.Across the crowd, there was someone selling chickens on the corner of a narrow alley, and that brother probably followed the older Ah Mo who was squatting next to him to buy chickens.

Seeing Yuanye's gaze, the brother quickly turned to avoid it.

"Do you think he looks familiar?" Zhao Xiaoyu thought hard.

Yuan Ye nodded, and he also felt that he had seen this brother somewhere before.

Suddenly Zhao Xiaoyu's eyes widened, "Do you think he looks like..."

"Brother Zhou from Li Xiucai's family." Yuanye said, he also recognized it.

The two looked at each other.

After not seeing him for a short time, Brother Zhou has changed a lot, no wonder they couldn't recognize him for a while.In the past, brother Zhou was full of energy, even a little proud.Now he is wearing half-washed clothes, with a miserable face, shrinking and avoiding the wilderness and their sight, it seems that he is not doing well.No matter in terms of spirit or dress, Brother Zhou is now the same as an ordinary farmer.

"Yuanye! Xiaoyu! Come here!" Zhao Xiaohu shouted from afar.

"Here we come!" Yuan Ye replied, leading Zhao Xiaoyu to squeeze past.

Brother Zhou looked at the backs of the two in a daze. He was really obsessed at the beginning, why did he follow Eminem's idea and pretend to fall into the water.If he doesn't marry Yuan Ye, he has many choices, so he won't fall into the current situation.His husband Zhou's family is very poor, with no land, only five crumbling earth embryo houses. His mother can give birth again, and he has seven brothers, five men, and two older brothers.If it wasn't for him falling into the water, Zhou Da might have been a bachelor for the rest of his life.

After marrying into Zhou's family, he only felt that he had fallen into hell. After the marriage, Zhou's family just hired a bullock cart to pick him up, and life was very hard.The two brothers in their family are still young, and he and his in-laws, Amu, do all the housework. They eat only porridge and wild vegetables, and they haven't seen any meat in three months.His clothes were distributed to six younger brothers, because their clothes were too rotten to mend.

In order to save food and money, her mother-in-law's mother often finds excuses to drive him back to her natal home.Because of his marriage, his father was very dissatisfied with him, he did not say anything about the dowry, and often asked his natal family to help him.Dad still has to take the Juren exam, and Ah Mu has already transferred all his attention to his younger brother's marriage, and he has been forgotten like this...

"Bai Zhou, what are you looking at?" Zhou Amu had bought five chicks, stood up and found that he was still in a daze, and asked.

"It's nothing! Ah Mu, have you bought the chick yet?" Brother Zhou smiled and said.

"Okay, let's go back. The chickens I bought this time are all strong, and can feed about five..."

------

Yuanye led Zhao Xiaoyu all the way through the crowd, only to see Zhao Xiaohu standing by the cowshed in front.

"Yuanye, how about this cow?" There are only five cows sold today, and Zhao Xiaohu has compared them, and this one is the strongest!

The field circled around the cow. The cow looked young, with white teeth, fat and strong body, and the color of the excrement was normal. It was absolutely healthy.It's just too good to be true, and the price might not be cheap.

"Brother, don't worry, this cow is not yet three years old, and it's strong. Look at the fur, teeth, and legs. I'm sure it's strong enough to work!" the dealer said enthusiastically.

There is also a brown horse in the shed, which is also well-groomed, tall and strong.

"How much is this cow?" Yuan Ye asked.

"20 taels."

Yuan Ye pointed at the horse with his chin, "Where is the horse?"

"35 taels."

The dealer scratched his head, "Are you buying cows or horses?"

"How about buying them together? If it's cheaper, I'll buy them all," Yuan Ye said.

Hearing this, the businessman's eyes lit up, "Okay! I'll give you a cheaper price."

"You two wait." Yuan Ye said, and took the businessman aside to mutter.

……

In the end, Zhao Xiaohu bought a cow for 15 taels, and Yuanye bought a horse for 32 taels.

The two brothers of the Zhao family also knew that it was impossible for 15 taels to buy the cow, and the dealer could only make money on the horse.

Yuan Ye didn't care what they thought, and asked Zhao Xiaohu to pay directly. Zhao Xiaohu didn't dare to disobey Yuan Ye's wishes.

"Yuanye, thank you..." Zhao Xiaoyu looked at the cattle and horses following behind the bullock cart, and said to Yuanye.

Yuanye glanced at him, then secretly squeezed his hand, signaling that he would get angry if he did this again.

"Yes, Yuan Ye, thank you, I will remember your kindness..." Zhao Xiaohu, who was driving the car, also said sincerely.

"You guys are thinking too much, I just want to buy a horse." I have to say that the wilderness is arrogant, he can't accept such a nasty scene.He helped the Zhao family entirely because of Zhao Xiaoyu, his starting point is really not that noble!
