A noble嫡女 (legitimate daughter of a high-ranking official) is framed and falls to the borderlands, losing her memory and becoming a farmer's wife. Su Nanxi arrives with a space (a mystical ...

Chapter 269 How dare you trick her!

The two thought it seemed to fit their criteria perfectly. They asked about the price, and it was within their budget, so it was acceptable.

Su Nanxi wanted to check the cow's teeth one last time. This was a sudden thought of hers. She just wanted to see if the teeth were in good condition. If the teeth were bad, it would be a hassle to buy it!

But then the seller hesitated for a moment, which made Su Nanxi keenly realize that something was wrong—there was something wrong with the cow's mouth!

Could it be that something grew on the cow's mouth?

That was the only thing Su Nanxi could think of. People get mouth ulcers, and cows might get something similar. She didn't know if it could be cured, and if she had to see a veterinarian, she might as well have bought another cow!

There's more than one cow in this livestock market!

However, things didn't go as she expected. When the seller saw that she insisted on seeing the cow's mouth, he finally had no choice but to reveal his true colors, "Hey! You young people really shouldn't be underestimated! I didn't expect to run into someone who knows what they're doing! I apologize to you both, it was my fault, I'll take you to see a real young cow right now!"

Su Nanxi was stunned. Wasn't this a young ox?

Could this be an old ox?

Wow! What a heartless seller! I almost got scammed!

Mo Qinghe's expression also turned cold, but it warmed up a bit when Su Nanxi grabbed his hand.

My wife's hands are so soft!

Su Nanxi gave him a knowing look: Let's see how things go first. Sellers are all like this; they only prey on those who don't know better! Since he thinks we do know, let's rip him off a few times later!

Mo Qinghe's heart skipped a beat. "Wife, don't be impulsive!"

It's not worth killing someone over a cow!

Su Nanxi suddenly realized that Mo Qinghe might not understand what she was saying, so she reorganized her thoughts.

It's about haggling! It's about negotiating!

Mo Qinghe secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was terrified. He was going to scare the seller in a bit!

The group arrived at another cow, and the seller began to promote it again.

Su Nanxi ignored him and secretly examined the ox from head to toe, one hand across his chest and the other supporting his chin, looking quite profound.

Mo Qinghe wasn't pretending to be profound; he only needed to slightly turn his expression cold to be considered a master!

This time, the seller proactively pried open the cow's mouth to show them, proving that he hadn't tricked them. "Young master, young lady, look! I didn't lie to you this time, did I? This cow is the strongest and youngest in our shop! Look, it just grew its first set of teeth, didn't I?"

Su Nanxi and Mo Qinghe saw it, and even if they didn't understand, they had to pretend they did!

The cow has indeed just grown a pair of teeth under its mouth, the big incisors kind, it must have lost its baby teeth.

Su Nanxi thought that this should be similar to how humans lose their baby teeth. Humans lose their baby teeth at around six years old. Since humans have a long lifespan, cows should lose their baby teeth earlier, probably at two or three years old!

This calf has just lost its milk teeth, which means it's in its adolescence, hmm! Not an old calf!

That's good!

If you dare to cheat her again, she won't be so polite!

Seeing Su Nanxi nod, the seller breathed a sigh of relief and began to discuss the price, which was much higher than the previous price, simply because it was a strong ox!

Su Nanxi naturally knew that there was a big price difference between old and young beef, no need to even think about it!

What can an old ox be used for?

Of course, tender beef has room for appreciation and great potential!

But since this unscrupulous seller had cheated her once, she was unwilling to let the seller have her way so easily and started to find fault.

After searching the entire cow, it was hard to say for sure, since the cow was indeed quite good. Finally, Su Nanxi turned her gaze to the cowshed.

"Your cow seems to have an upset stomach! The cowshed is filthy! Oh dear! Could it have diarrhea?"

The seller's expression changed slightly, and he resented Su Nanxi in his heart. Why did she have to be so sharp-eyed?

Doesn't his cow know what's wrong? He must know it has diarrhea!

He didn't know what was wrong either. He'd had diarrhea for two days. It wasn't very serious, but it just wouldn't go away!

It's really tough for him to do business in cattle these days!

I thought these two young people were naive and I could take advantage of them, but it turns out they were quite shrewd!

Out of desperation, they thought of the cow with diarrhea again, figuring that the two men wouldn't be looking at the ground carefully. They could just have someone bring the cow out, cover it up, and sell it off!

They've done this kind of thing before; they're very experienced!

Sigh! It's really hard to rip off someone who knows the ropes!

Su Nanxi knew what was going on as soon as she saw the seller's expression, and immediately her face turned cold. Fine! They've been ripping them off time and time again!

Knowing he was in the wrong, the seller kept apologizing and lowered the price significantly, begging Su Nanxi and Mo Qinghe to buy the cow back.

He was helpless because the cow couldn't be cured of its minor diarrhea. If it continued like this, it would probably become even less valuable. He wanted to sell it for a good price while it was still alive!

He didn't understand what was going on, and the medicine wouldn't stop it. He was also afraid that it might be contagious, so he was in a hurry to get rid of it.

Su Nanxi took a look and saw that the ox was in good spirits and its diarrhea wasn't too serious. As long as he poured a basin of spiritual spring water down its throat, it would be perfectly fine!

But she still didn't really want it, mainly because the seller was too despicable; it was obvious he couldn't cure her and wanted to scam them!

He needs to be slashed a few times!

After some haggling, everyone gave a little, and the deal was done.

Su Nanxi was secretly pleased; she had gotten a good deal on the cow!

The seller was furious; the price was so low! He wanted to cry!

But if he doesn't sell, he's afraid the price will drop by half tomorrow!

Su Nanxi, pushing her luck, asked the seller if they offered a cart for delivery. This left the seller speechless; the price was already very low, and they still wanted to include freebies!

Looking at the two young men, their faces brimming with youthful energy, the seller felt a lump in his throat. He couldn't bring himself to yell at them, thinking, "What do these two know?"

We don't have any delivered by handcart, but we do have some that you can buy. Pay up!

Seeing that Su Nanxi was about to take out her money to buy it, Mo Qinghe stopped her, "Wife, don't waste your money. Since we're not giving it to you, let's make one ourselves when we get back! It'll only take a little time, but a homemade one will be more sturdy and durable!"

Su Nanxi was about to take out her money when Mo Qinghe said that, so she stopped. Oh right! How could she forget that the Mo father and son knew some carpentry!

However, this wheel is not easy to make. Are you sure it will work?

Mo Qinghe gave her a positive answer, "Don't worry! Second brother is skillful, he can handle it. Wasn't it second brother who made those strollers?"

That's right!

Then she could rest assured!

The two of them rode in a donkey cart with an ox on the back, and that's how they went back.

Halfway there, Su Nanxi filled a bamboo tube with spiritual spring water for the ox, allowing it to rest for a while before continuing on its journey.

The villagers were astonished when the two men, an ox, and a donkey returned.

People rushed out to see what was going on, and some even ran to the Mo family to inform them—cough cough, I mean to inform them!

The Mo family couldn't believe it either; only a day had passed, and they had bought another cow?

Whether you believe it or not, you still have to go out and see for yourself. How will you know if it's true if you don't see it?

I can't wait any longer, let's go wait at the intersection!

"It's Third Aunt! Third Aunt is back!"

"There really was a cow being led behind them!"

"Wow! This cow is so beautiful! I wonder if I can ride it?"
