On the way, Jiang Nuan secretly nudged Sister-in-law Huang, "Sister-in-law, the clan chief's wife seems quite kind."
He smiled at her, and I couldn't sense any rejection or dislike from him.
"Her," Sister-in-law Huang shook her head, "is like that to everyone, always smiling at people."
"I see." Jiang Nuan's smile faded.
I knew I shouldn't have had any expectations!
"Don't worry, you haven't offended her before," Sister-in-law Huang comforted her. "She won't do anything to you."
"What if we offend her?" Jiang Nuan asked cautiously. "What kind of trouble will she cause us?"
Sister-in-law Huang was stunned for a moment, then slapped Jiang Nuan, "What nonsense are you talking about? How can people from the same village not have some bumps and bruises? How can you hurt someone over such a small thing?"
After Huang Da Sao finished speaking, she tapped her chin with her index finger, recalling how the clan chief's wife treated those who offended her.
The clan chief's wife held a special position, and few people dared to offend her.
It's not that there weren't any; I remember my second sister-in-law had quite a few conflicts with her before, and then... well, what happened next...
It doesn't seem like anything really happened.
My sister-in-law always has a smile on her face and rarely shows her emotions; she is always kind to others.
Aside from my second sister-in-law, I haven't had any conflicts with anyone else, so I really can't think of anyone else.
Shaking her head to suppress the jumbled thoughts in her mind, Sister-in-law Huang pulled Jiang Nuan back quickly.
When Jiang Nuan arrived home, her three brothers who had gone out had already returned. In addition to a pile of clay pottery, there was also a yellow ox in the yard.
The whole family, young and old, revolved around the yellow ox, diligently serving it grass, water, and brushing its fur. They practically massaged it, treating it like royalty.
“Our cow is really big,” Xiao Wu said, holding a handful of grass in one hand and occasionally touching the cow’s head with the other. “It eats a lot too.”
“We’ll do even more work,” Huang Xiaosi replied happily. “From today onwards, this cow will be our family’s Xiao Liu.”
"Hello, Xiao Liu," Grandma Jiang nodded, "that's your name."
"Boss, how old is this cow?" Jiang Nuan walked around the yellow cow. "How much did you buy it for?"
“It’s four years old, just the right age to work. It was bought for twenty-six taels,” Huang Laoda replied. “This cart was a gift from the owner. I checked it over. Although it’s a bit old, it’s still usable. It’s made of jujube wood, so it’s very sturdy.”
"Mom, how's the price?" Jiang Nuan didn't understand these things. "Is it expensive or cheap?"
"It's a bit expensive," Grandma Jiang explained, "about two taels of silver more."
"What?!" Upon hearing this, Old Huang was furious. "The person selling the cattle said there was no lower price than his, and that his cattle were exceptionally strong."
“You don’t have the strength,” Old Man Jiang took a deep breath and couldn’t help but roar, “You bought a bull.”
"Can't we buy a bull?" Huang Lao Er was very puzzled. "What's the difference between bulls? As long as they're strong and can work, isn't that enough?"
"Oh, it was a bull," Grandma Jiang's joy instantly vanished. "What a loss, a huge loss."
A bull that can't calve can only do manual labor; even the strongest bull can only weigh twenty ounces at most.
Xiao Chuan and his group actually spent twenty-six taels.
No wonder the seller gave away a cart; he made so much money, but he couldn't help feeling uneasy.
Thinking of this, Old Lady Jiang was furious. "Which village are these people from? They're so unethical. They sold the bull without even saying a word, what a waste of so much money!"
“It’s from the town,” Old Huang said nervously. “I’ll go find someone to return the ox and get our money back.”
“It’s too late,” Old Man Jiang said, his face ashen. “These peddlers who specialize in reselling cattle never stay in one place for long. The cattle have already been transferred to someone else’s name, so it’s impossible to find them again.”
