The scene was a bit awkward for a while.
"I didn't dare disturb her after she got married. I could only visit her secretly occasionally. I knew she wasn't happy in her husband's family, but I had no choice. I couldn't let her reputation be damaged. Now that she's left that family, I want to take her back."
"You have elderly parents and young children to support, and judging by the way you're dressed, you're probably living in poverty. How can you afford to redeem her?"
"You name a price, and I can always raise the money." The man finally raised his head and looked at her.
Chun Xiao sneered and drank a cup of tea. "Don't even think about it. Redeeming him is impossible. Do you know why?"
"Are you worried that I don't have money?"
"Having no money is only one of the reasons. You yourself are living in poverty. Although she is a servant, she has no worries about food and drink in my place. She has been with me for so long, and we have a strong master-servant relationship. Why should I send her to suffer with you for a few taels of silver? If she goes back with you, she will not only have to take care of the old, but also the young. If I think a little worse, I will think you are just looking for a servant to take care of others. Since we are both servants, it is natural that she is more comfortable here with me."
"No, I never thought about it this way. I think servants are servants after all and have no freedom. I redeemed her. Even if life is hard, she is free." Zhao Shitou was obviously anxious.
"What I just said is only one of the reasons. The second reason is that you are too reckless. You know, if I didn't know her well, I would think she had a secret relationship with you. You know, servants can be dealt with at will. You only care about what you want, but you don't consider her situation. I don't feel at ease if she follows you."
Zhao Shitou panicked when he heard this. "I, I was too anxious. I thought there was no hope in this life, but now I run into this. If I don't take action, it will be difficult for me to find her after you leave. Miss Yan, please don't blame me. She and I have a clean record. Nothing happened."
"And the third point, which is the most important one, is that you just saw that she wasn't willing to go with you. You couldn't even convince her, yet you're trying to convince me. Don't you think your behavior is a little ridiculous?"
Zhao Shitou was completely deflated. He gripped the teacup with such force that he seemed to want to crush it. "It's my own fault that I'm so useless!"
Chunxiao glanced at Dashan standing beside him and said, "Brother, we've almost finished our tea. Let's go. We still have some important things to do."
Yan Dashan sighed with some regret, "Let's go."
While Yan Dashan was paying for the tea, Chunxiao glanced at Zhao Shitou, who was sitting at the table with a dejected look on his face. "Xing Xing is a lonely woman now, with few friends. Since you two are old friends, it's normal for you to have some interactions. My manor is at the foot of Ruyun Mountain in Luokou Town. If you have time, you can go see her, but remember to be polite."
Zhao Shitou suddenly looked up, his eyes showing some joy, "I understand, I know, thank you Miss Yan, thank you Miss Yan."
Yesterday he asked Xiaoqin where she lived, but she refused to tell him. Now that he knew, there was a chance they could meet again in the future. That was great.
When they came out of the teahouse, Xingfu had been waiting anxiously. Seeing that the three of them were all at peace, he couldn't figure out what they were talking about. "Miss!"
She looked at Chunxiao inquiringly.
"Let's go. We have important things to do and can't delay." Chunxiao and Yan Dashan got in the car.
Xingfu glanced at Zhao Shitou who was standing at the door looking at her stupidly, pursed her lips, drove the carriage away, and let the past go with the wind.
Along the way, Yan Dashan looked at Chunxiao with a strange look in his eyes.
"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?" Chun Xiao touched her face. "Is my face dirty?"
Dashan shook his head and said, "No, I just think you are really amazing."
"What's the difference between really awesome and fake awesome?" Chun Xiao smiled. "Isn't being awesome good enough?"
"Look at how scared that guy was just now. He didn't even dare to talk back at you. Such a big man was like a chicken in front of you."
Chun Xiao chuckled, "Brother, I didn't expect you to be so mean. I was right, and he couldn't argue with me. Tell me, am I right?"
"Others can't argue with you, and I can't argue with you either. You're right." Yan Dashan smiled and shook his head. "We're going to rent a ten-car truck later, with more than 90 people."
Yes, with so many people, it would be dark by the time we get back by ox cart, which would be a hassle.
When they arrived at the carriage shop, the dealer was happy to hear they wanted to rent a ten-carriage, but he was a little embarrassed. They certainly had ox-drawn carriages, but they didn't have more than ten at once. "Hey everyone, we can only spare five ox-drawn carriages right now, and there are three horse-drawn carriages left. Do you think we can put them together?"
Most of the women yesterday were small in size, and an ox cart could only carry eight or nine people at most, which was only half of them. A horse carriage could only carry two people outside and six inside. Together with them and the coachman, they could only take away 69 people at most. There were 98 people in total.
"No, it's not enough. Forget it. Let's go look somewhere else."
The boss of the carriage shop, seeing that such a good business was about to fail, immediately lost his composure and said, "Everyone, the carriages are a little short. Originally, our oxcarts were 1 tael of silver, and our horsecarts were 2 taels of silver. If you are willing, then these 8 taels of silver carriages will all be charged at the price of an oxcart. What do you think? This price is really cheap."
"Okay, I'll hire these eight cars first."
"What if we can't take all the people? Should we look for other car dealerships?" Yan Dashan couldn't calculate the number, but he knew that 8 cars would definitely not be able to accommodate everyone.
