The family felt both sad and amused when they heard Fubao's thoughts.
Little guy, do you know what it means to be in jail?
They were just staying overnight and were not in jail, but they were indeed in jail.
There are too many people, and one cell must hold at least thirty people.
With so many people, it’s considered good if they can all sit down, let alone lie down.
These people slept all night long, sitting next to each other, with their family members leaning against each other.
Early the next morning.
Meng Shijie stuffed a small piece of silver he had picked up from the bottom of his feet into the hands of the head officer who was watching over their team.
"Sir, please give me some convenience.
My wife just gave birth two days ago, and I want to see if I can get her some good nourishment.
Otherwise, I’m afraid she won’t be able to reach her destination.”
Meng Shijie said this, but in his heart he kept saying, "I'm sorry, wife. This is just a temporary solution."
"If my wife were gone, I would be heartbroken and would probably die with her.
If I go, my parents are so old, they definitely won’t be able to bear it, and they will definitely…”
"Oh, okay, okay, go quickly and come back soon. Don't even think about running away. Your family's lives are in my hands."
"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!"
Seeing Meng Shijie like this, the others also became interested and stood up one after another, asking the officers to be flexible.
The officers waited for those people to give him gifts.
As a result, after waiting for a long time, no one came out to bribe him, which made him laugh out of anger.
I really thought he was so kind!
“No, there are too many people, there is no one to watch you.
If anyone escapes, we will be in big trouble."
Doctor Zhou winked at his son, and his son stuffed a two-liang silver ingot into the officer's hand.
Only then did those people understand, and those who had money followed suit.
So the chief officer called four officers to take twenty people out to buy the things they needed, but only these twenty people were allowed to buy them.
"You guys figure out how to take care of the rest of the people. Let these twenty people help you."
Chen just asked Meng Shijie to wait for a moment, and she wanted to give him some silver.
"First, see if there are any ox carts or donkey carts. Buy one. Anything that can carry people will do."
"Okay, mom, just wait, I'll be back soon."
Of course Meng Shijie knew what his mother meant.
Now he still has a way to get a ox cart for his wife.
How can I have the nerve to ask for the things that my mother worked so hard to hide?
"This kid doesn't have any money, where can he get anything?
Are you going to give yourself up to others to hit you in the face?"
Before Chen could take out the money, Meng Shijie disappeared.
"Just forget about it. He looks so confident, so he should have a solution."
Mr. Meng was also a little confused. Could it be that his youngest son had hidden a lot on him?
But that's also his ability.
Just look at his eldest son's surprised expression and you'll know he definitely has nothing on him.
The disliked eldest son, Meng Shichang, asked: "Dad, is there something wrong?"
"fine!"
Even Meng Liqian and Meng Lihou could see through Mr. Meng's disgusted look.
The two little guys: Grandpa is so pitiful!
Meng Shuyan looked at her grandfather and uncle happily.
[It’s not a bad thing that my uncle is simple-minded, but he is not stupid either. This is what is called being wise but appearing foolish.
If my uncle was like my father, I'd think we'd have lost all our wealth long ago.
Uncle Hanhan listened to his niece's heartfelt words: I was comforted...
Those who stayed behind didn't have to wait long before the first person who went out came back.
The Meng family was surprised when they saw the person coming back.
Meng Shijie, the first one to come back, actually brought back an ox cart.
The cart pulled behind the ox was quite large, and could hold seven or eight people.
"Dad, Mom, and daughter-in-law, I'm back. Hehe, this will be our family's ox cart from now on.
I wanted to buy a carriage, but it was too expensive."
Yesterday on the road, I was chatting with Dr. Zhou. They all have to farm eventually.
Therefore, getting an ox cart is the most economical and practical method. It can not only pull people, but also be used for farming.
"This ox cart is already very good."
Meng Shijie pulled the ox cart back. If the soldier leader who had raided their house saw him, he would probably vomit blood.
When their house was searched and their bodies were confiscated, they were beaten so badly that they insisted that nothing happened.
As a result, he was able to buy an ox cart in the blink of an eye.
"How did you get this back?"
The whole family was really surprised, even Meng Shuyan was surprised.
[This scumbag dad is still of some use.]
It was amazing that we were able to get an 80% new ox cart like this in such a short time.
The cow also looks like a young and middle-aged man, so it's probably not cheap.
Meng Shijie felt very proud when he heard his daughter's thoughts.
"Second brother, you are not stealing from others, are you?
If someone comes to beat you up, don't tell them you know us."
Meng Shichang is really my elder brother.
"Hey, big brother, don't judge me by my appearance. Don't you know what kind of person I am?"
When it comes to character, Meng Shichang, who raised his younger brother as his own son, really knows that his younger brother is not that kind of person.
"Okay, stop judging me and tell me how you got it."
"Wasn't I at the gambling house before?
When I left, I took the six jade dice with me. I exchanged four of them for this ox cart.
There are two left, which I give to my wife for safekeeping."
Leng Yingshuang looked at the two jade dice of very good quality that were handed to her.
Seeing her husband's nervous look, his hands unconsciously grasped the hem of his clothes, but she still took it.
"Don't ever touch this thing again."
"Yes, I will follow Madam's orders!"
Meng Shijie spoke very sincerely.
I also decided not to touch this thing again. I was tricked into gambling before.
He knew that no matter what he said now, his family might not believe it.
But he would just do it and let them see.
"Okay, okay, your family also got an ox cart, so it won't be so tiring for us to travel together."
Doctor Zhou was very pleased to see that Meng Shijie had indeed brought back an ox cart that was better than the one his son had.
There were also many people who thought of buying ox-horse-donkey carts, but only a few of them could actually buy them, no more than ten.
After all, it's pretty good that there are so many oxen, horses, donkeys and carts willing to be sold in this small town.
Meng Shuxin also wanted to get a horse-drawn carriage or an ox-drawn cart for his grandfather, but it was too expensive and he didn't have that much money.
Now all I can do is watch those people pulling the ox cart back.
"Mr. Meng, don't worry, we'll buy it in the next town."
Seeing Meng Shuxin's worried look, Qiao Qinglu comforted him. Seeing Qiao Qinglu's worried look, Meng Shuxin's mood instantly improved.
"If it really doesn't work, I'll go and beg them later. Mr. Meng will definitely be able to ride in the ox cart."
