Chapter 65 Buy a donkey cart?
The next day, the escorts rarely rang the gong to urge everyone to get up. Shen Xiangwan, who had been busy until midnight, took a long, late nap and only opened his eyes drowsily at around 9:00 p.m.
As for those who gathered in the main hall, even though they were exhausted, they were cold and hungry and could not fall asleep at all. After the Wei family knew that Wei Jinghan and others had borrowed money, many people followed suit. However, Shen Xiangwan did not lend any money because they were basically all the people who had made trouble before.
"Boss, how is it?"
At three quarters past the hour of the si, the two exile teams had not yet set out. Seeing Zhao Shan and Lao Zhou coming back, the escorts rushed forward. They were escorting the exiles, and the expenses such as rations along the way were all paid from the local government. Early this morning, Zhao Shan and Lao Zhou went to the yamen. In addition to reporting their casualties and losses, they also paid for rations for the next few days.
"The rations will be delivered directly later. All requests for bullock carts and other supplies have been rejected."
Zhao Shan sighed in frustration. Without the ox cart, they had no way of carrying too much food and supplies. However, the situation in Tianhe County was obvious. The county magistrate had done his best by giving them three days of food, and they did not dare to continue to argue.
"Only rations?"
"Um."
The escorts confirmed in disbelief, and Zhao Shan and Lao Zhou nodded at the same time.
“···”
After getting their confirmation again, the escorts were all deflated. It's not that they didn't have complaints, but they were not stupid either. If they could fight for it, they would definitely fight for it. Now that there was nothing, they definitely couldn't get it. If they really made a fuss and alerted the government, they might even lose their rations.
Compared to them, the exiles' eyes lit up instantly when they heard that there would be rations. They had not eaten for nearly two days and were already dizzy with hunger. In addition, they had been wearing wet clothes for a long time last night, and many of them had caught a cold. They kept coughing in the middle of the night, and today they felt like they were about to collapse.
"Old Yang."
Shen Xiangwan, who just came out of the room, looked at Wei Chengyi, and they both walked towards Lao Yang at the same time.
"What's up, you two?"
Seeing that they were two Gods of Wealth, Old Yang asked with a smile.
"We want to buy a donkey cart. Do you have any connections?"
Shen Xiangwan didn't waste any time talking to him and went straight to the point. Wei Chengyi had taken her to the rooftop to take a look. The situation in the county was really bad. Only one out of ten houses and buildings remained, and the people were all wailing in pain. It was like hell on earth, horrible to look at.
Tianhe County is only the most remote county in Binzhou, and other counties are probably not much better. Next, until they leave Binzhou, they may not be lucky enough to find a place to stay every day, so buying a donkey cart has become imperative.
"I'm afraid this is a bit difficult."
Hearing this, Lao Yang couldn't help but look embarrassed. In the past, as long as one had money, one could buy not only a donkey cart but also a horse cart. But now, all the pawnshops were also hit by the disaster. They were probably in no mood to open their doors for business. It was even unclear whether they had any goods.
"Please help me. You can see that we have children with us. What will we do if we have to sleep outdoors in the wilderness?"
As Shen Xiangwan spoke, he took out a fifty-liang silver note and stuffed it into his hand. After all, the other party was a local tyrant, so he must have special connections.
"Okay, I'll go ask for you, but I can't guarantee that there will be one."
Holding the silver note, Lao Yang finally gritted his teeth and agreed. Chen Xiangwan took out another silver note of 100 taels and gave it to him: "Thank you for your trouble. If you have it, just buy it for us. I want a slightly more comfortable carriage. If you don't have enough money, come back and tell me. If there is any money left, just consider it as us and my wife treating you to a drink."
Facts have proved that Shen Xiangwan is not incapable of handling interpersonal relationships, but before, she had faced those extreme people from the Wei family and the Shen family. When dealing with them, only fists can solve the problem.
"Mrs. Wei is really straightforward. Okay, I'll leave first."
Normally, a donkey cart would weigh at most twenty or thirty taels, and even now, it should not be more than fifty taels. Old Yang smiled widely, turned around and ran out happily.
"Mrs. Wei?"
Watching his departing back, Shen Xiangwan quietly breathed a sigh of relief, but Wei Chengyi whispered softly in her ear.
"Why? Do you have any objection?"
If he expected Shen Xiangwan to be shy, he was totally wrong. He just saw her eyebrows raised, very calm, without the slightest bit of abnormality.
"No, Mrs. Wei, very good!"
Although he didn't see her shy look, Wei Chengyi still had a smile on his face and was in a good mood.
"Tsk tsk...what a monster!"
Looking at his smile, Shen Xiangwan grumbled, this dog man is simply killing her, his smile is too seductive, isn't it?
"like?"
I knew last time that she liked his looks. Wei Chengyi put aside his usual coldness, leaned over and raised his eyebrows and smiled.
"roll!"
After slapping him away unhappily, Shen Xiangwan turned around and went back to her room.
Gazing at his back, the smile on Wei Chengyi's face deepened. Was his little rascal shy?
Not far away, Shen Xiangyue, who had seen their interaction, gritted her teeth in hatred. Why? Why was Wei Chengyi still alive? Why did he smile so dotingly at Shen Xiangwan? He was obviously her husband in her previous life and her fiancé in this life.
She tried every possible means and put a lot of thought into getting Shen Xiangwan to marry in her place, preparing to snatch her opportunity and marry the third prince instead of her, becoming the crown princess, or even the queen, while Shen Xiangwan could only die miserably in exile. But why did everything go differently from what she planned?
Subconsciously, Shen Xiangyue felt that Shen Xiangwan must be extremely miserable and must be trampled under her feet forever, and Wei Chengyi must also die miserably. How could they live so well?
No, no, this shouldn't be the case. What went wrong?
The more Chen Xiangyue thought about it, the more hateful she became. The hostility and murderous intent in her eyes could not be hidden at all, and her slightly pale face twisted and deformed again.
Um?
Wei Chengyi keenly sensed a strong murderous aura, turned his head and looked, and ran straight into Shen Xiangyue's eyes filled with hostility, resentment and murderous intent. His handsome brows wrinkled slightly, and the smile on his face disappeared completely in an instant, replaced by his usual indifference and coldness. A woman who was powerless wanted to kill him?
Wei Chengyi said he would wait and see, and was too lazy to even pay attention to her. He turned around and strode away.
How dare he ignore her like this?
Seeing this, Shen Xiangyue was even more furious. He was just the man she had abandoned. What right did he have to ignore her? Die, he must die, and Shen Xiangwan, they should all become her stepping stones and die miserably!
