Yue Jiuyue wandered around the town for a while, but couldn't find any "business opportunities".
The wealthy people in town left early, since they wouldn't make much money even if they stayed, and they might get into trouble with the disaster victims at any time, so it was better to leave first.
Yue Jiuyue really wanted to visit those people's homes, maybe even get a free shopping experience, but her bottom line told her she couldn't; this wasn't the end of the world.
Therefore, she could only set off towards the county town with heavy steps.
The county seat is about 100 li away from Huandong Town. It takes Yue Jiuyue more than half an hour to walk even a dozen li. In this hot weather, it would take Yue Jiuyue a whole day to walk more than 100 li with frequent stops and rests!
But she desperately needed money, so she had no choice but to continue cheating.
For example, he spent three taels of silver to buy a donkey that had just come of age.
She had originally intended to buy a horse, but then she thought of buying a carriage instead, since the sun would be too strong on the way. It wasn't that she was afraid of getting a tan, since she was already dark enough.
Unfortunately, the solid wood carriages in the mall cost tens of thousands of yuan, and she really couldn't bear to spend that money. In the end, she settled for a wooden cart and spent a thousand yuan, which is one tael of silver.
But the blazing sun overhead was unbearable, so Yue Jiuyue had to buy another straw hat, the kind with a fan on the brim, and only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.
Of course, this is not the end.
She spent another five taels of silver to buy two horses, which followed slowly behind the donkey cart. This was the business she suddenly thought of.
I just don't know if it's easy to do.
On the official road leading north and south, an old woman was driving a donkey cart with two horses behind her, moving slowly forward.
A group of people who were resting and having lunch under the shade of a tree by the roadside saw this bizarre scene from afar.
These are the wealthy people who left early; they have plenty of money and can start over wherever they go.
"Mother, look, this woman has two horses!"
A young woman said to her mother in surprise.
"Yes, it's probably a family that's leaving this place, so they sent their old woman out to buy it."
The middle-aged woman's eyes never left the two horses. They desperately needed horses, but the horse market in the county town was already sold out. Their family was small and poor, and they dared not compete with the wealthy families. In the end, everyone squeezed onto the two horse-drawn carts at home, and the rest of their belongings had to be transported by oxen pulled by a wooden cart bought from a farmer. It was going to be a long journey.
Those wealthy families with large fortunes simply packed up and moved to other places not long after the drought last year, without worrying at all about their businesses being destroyed here.
Families whose entire fortunes are tied up here dare not leave easily, as their possessions are all here, and leaving would mean starting all over again. Therefore, they hope that the drought is only temporary and will end soon.
As a result, this is already the second year. They say that the weather in June is like a child's face, but this year's child is too well-behaved and has never changed his expression.
Therefore, these families couldn't hold on any longer. Starting over was better than ending up with nothing.
The remaining wealthy households were also divided into different classes, and their family was in the ninth class. They dared not compete with the other families, since they couldn't win anyway. In the end, they could only slowly pull their oxcarts like this.
Fortunately, their destination wasn't far; they were only going to the neighboring Chaohui County.
