After wandering around for a while, Zhen Wanwan finally took a liking to one of the horses, but it looked very unwell.

"Young man, could you please reduce the price of this horse?" Zhen Wanwan pointed to the listless horse lying on the ground and asked the vendor standing next to her.

The vendor was worried that no one would ask him for prices, so when he saw Zhen Wanwan and the others, he was overjoyed, as if he had seen a god of wealth.

"Young lady, if you want to buy it, I won't make any money off you. I'll give you a discount of one tael of silver, so you only need to pay 19 taels!"

The vendor then moved one bead down from the abacus and looked at Zhen Wanwan, saying...

"Hiss~ Robbery..." Old Mrs. Li instinctively wanted to say, "Rob me!"

In the end, she managed to hold it in and pulled Zhen Wanwan aside to persuade her.

"Mother knows you really want a carriage, but you have to see if your purse is bulging! Putting aside whether you have the money to buy it, this horse looks like it has a serious problem..."

Grandma Li explained everything to Zhen Wanwan in detail, basically saying that she shouldn't buy it!

Zhen Fugui also stepped forward to advise her, "Yes, little sister, this horse probably has a problem with its legs, and its skin looks old. It probably won't live much longer."

Zhen Wanwan said helplessly, "I've considered all of what you've said, but this is all we can afford. If Mother and Brother keep trying to lower the price of this horse at the vendor, we might be able to get it for a lower price!"

"Mother, have you forgotten? I have the inheritance of an immortal and I can definitely cure it."

No matter how unwilling Grandma Li was, she couldn't change Zhen Wanwan's mind.

He glared at her angrily: "Buy it! Buy it! But once it's out the door, the seller won't take it back. You'll regret it to the core!"

Zhen Fugui looked at her with disapproval, but said nothing. He had already made up his mind to undervalue the horse as much as possible when they bargained later, hoping to minimize his sister's financial losses.

Zhen Wanwan, carrying the child, went to the vendor again, looking at the horse lying on the ground with a look of disgust.

"Brother, that's a bit unfair of you. Your horse has been lying on the ground the whole time. I don't know if it's lame or has some kind of problem."

I bought it for travel, not to treat myself like an ancestor.

When the vendor heard Zhen Wanwan's words, he knew that she wanted to lower the price.

After all, if she didn't want it, she could have simply turned around and left.

Why waste time and breath arguing with him?

The vendor sighed and complained to Zhen Wanwan, "Young lady, I won't lie to you, this horse is a warhorse that has been retired from the battlefield. It is stronger than many strong young horses."

"Well... its legs were injured by knives and guns, so it walks with a slight limp, but it can still pull the cart normally..."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the peddler went into the stable and whipped the horse twice.

The horse, in pain, staggered to its feet.

There was a deep scar on its leg, and its ankle was noticeably bent.

The injury was much more serious than the vendor described.

He probably wanted to gamble on Zhen Wanwan's lack of market knowledge and take the opportunity to deceive her.

Zhen Wanwan snorted coldly, looking at him with a half-smile, and said, "You say this is a minor injury? You're probably just trying to fool us because there are fewer of us!"

Grandma Li and Zhen Fugui also started to realize what was happening, and they argued back and forth until the vendor was red in the face.

They took their pickiness to the extreme, finding fault with the horse inside and out, which left both the person and the horse feeling utterly dejected.

The vendor couldn't out-bargain with Old Lady Li, and the horse felt inferior because of what they said.

Is this the fake capital of the Venerable One?

Is it really that bad?

In any case, the vendor eventually agreed to a deal for thirteen taels of silver, and even offered to give away the carriage for free.

Grandma Li smiled contentedly and unconsciously straightened her chest.

The vendor painfully calculated with his abacus, then forced a smile as he spoke to Zhen Wanwan.

"Congratulations, young lady, on acquiring such a fine horse. Would you like to pay for it on the spot and lead it away yourself, or would you prefer me to deliver it to your residence?"

Zhen Wanwan scanned her consciousness into the space, preparing to retrieve the silver and take it away on the spot.

But can anyone tell her where her money is? And where did the jade pendant go?

She was screaming wildly in her head.

But when facing the vendors and Old Lady Li, she couldn't show any abnormality.

After thinking for a moment, Zhen Wanwan smiled and said, "We'll pay right here."

Then, looking shy and with her head down, she asked in a low voice, feigning difficulty, "Does your establishment have a place to relieve myself? I'm in a bit of a hurry..."

Seeing her hesitant manner, the vendor knew she needed to relieve herself and kindly pointed to the door on the left.

"Go this way, and walk 100 meters along the intersection to reach your destination."

"Thank you so much, sir. Please wait a little longer. I'll settle the bill when I get back."

The vendor glanced at them a few times, thinking that since they had gone to so much trouble to bargain, they probably wouldn't skip out on their bill.

He smiled and said, "No trouble at all, young lady, please go ahead."

Zhen Wanwan handed the child to Zhen Fugui and hurriedly left.

Seeing that her family was still there, the vendor lowered his guard and invited Grandma Li and Zhen Fugui to sit at the guest table with a smile.

"The old lady and this gentleman can rest here and wait for the young lady to return."

Grandma Li watched Zhen Wanwan's retreating figure with concern, then said to Zhen Fugui, "Go and sit down."

If her daughter couldn't afford the money, she would give her all of her dowry to make up for it.

I'm just worried that my son and daughter-in-law will have objections.

While Old Mrs. Li was thinking about how to cover up her daughter's losses, Zhen Wanwan did not go to the outhouse after leaving the house.

Instead, she found a secluded alleyway and entered the space; she needed to find money!

Zhen Wanwan turned the cash register upside down, but still couldn't find what she wanted.

A fire was burning in my heart, and I couldn't help but suspect Tmall Genie.

She shook the Tmall Genie's head and angrily questioned, "Tell me! Did you steal my silver and jade pendant?"

The Tmall Genie's voice rang out: "I don't know what nonsense you're spouting!"

"Hey! Besides you, who else could take my things?! Hand them over right now, I need the money urgently!"

Upon hearing this, countless ellipses appeared on the Tmall Genie screen: "Have you forgotten that you already saw them pawning their goods?"

Zhen Wanwan asked in shock, "When? I have no memory of it?"

The Tmall Genie once again displayed countless interwoven lines, and its usually cold, robotic voice surprisingly carried a hint of complaint.

"Oh dear... You promised this yourself when Mrs. Fang was having a difficult childbirth..."

After much thought, Zhen Wanwan finally remembered!

It seems that there is such a thing!

At that moment, her heart sank to the ground as she thought of the vendor and Old Lady Li waiting for her outside.

She finally mustered up the courage to ask Tmall Genie for money: "Bro~ can you lend me some money? Don't worry, I will definitely pay it back, and I will never delay!"

Tmall Genie coldly shut down, leaving Zhen Wanwan with a cold, lifeless device.

When Zhen Wanwan realized that her plan to borrow money had failed, she could only slink out of the space in disgrace.

Unexpectedly, I ran into the person I least wanted to see.
