Shui Qing really didn't expect that the Fan Qian and Fan Damu families would come to buy lime.
Lime, to put it simply, is used for disinfection, sterilization, and prevention.
Whether it's good or not, whether it's effective or not, you can't tell in a short time, but spending money to buy it is a tangible reality.
Why would they spend money to buy something that doesn't produce immediate results?
Besides, their family is different from others. Other families in the village raise rabbits, and after the flood, the land is damp with a lot of rotten things, so it's good to disinfect and sterilize the rabbit hutch and surrounding area.
These two farms don't have rabbits, and they don't even have many chickens, ducks, or geese. What would they need lime for?
However, her family had stockpiled a lot of lime, originally to kill any bad germs that might appear in the village after the flood. They hadn't planned for the villagers to spend money to buy it. Now that even the Fan Qian and Fan Damu families were buying it, did she think she had too much money?
Of course not.
Shui Qing smiled, looking like a family member taking care of another family member, "You're all from the Fan family, I won't make a profit off you, I'll sell it to you at the original price."
"It's just that you bought a lot, and it wasn't easy for the head of the household to carry them back. How about this, it's a little over an hour's walk from the prefectural city to Shanshui Village. Carrying back these several large bags of lime, the transportation fee is five copper coins, isn't that much?"
Fan Qian and Fan Damu gasped in shock!
Fan Qian thought that he and Fan Jin were brothers! And his sister-in-law actually asked him for money.
Not only do they charge money, but they also charge for shipping!
Fan Damu was thinking that he had only ever heard of discounts for buying more, but never of extra shipping fees for buying more.
Is my sister-in-law obsessed with money?
Shui Qing still smiled and said worriedly, "This is the same price as in the prefectural city, we didn't make any money off you."
"Since you've bought so much, my family won't have enough to use. We'll have to go to the prefectural city to buy more, but I don't know when we'll be able to go."
Upon hearing this, Fan Qian and Fan Damu immediately decided to buy it!
Not only did they buy some, they bought quite a lot.
What a joke! My sister-in-law is just a woman who doesn't know anything about the ways of the world, but the two of them, as men, certainly do!
Uncle Ding said that the price of lime in the prefectural city would definitely rise after the flood.
Buying now is a sure win.
The two pulled the cart back, and along the way they saw villagers pushing wheelbarrows, pulling carts, and carrying baskets.
He was extremely pleased with himself.
There are probably not many younger siblings left; these people will likely leave empty-handed.
Luckily they ran fast and arrived early!
The two returned home laden with several sacks of lime, but they didn't feel tired at all.
Upon arriving home, Fan's mother and Sun Jinhua saw the towering pile of lime, their faces turning as black as the bottom of a pot.
"Son, why did you buy so many inedible things?"
"Did that man from the Ding family swindle us?"
Fan Qian, whose face turned ugly when questioned, said, "The old village chief and other elderly people bought them in advance, how could they be fake?"
What do you women know? If I hadn't run fast, I wouldn't have even been able to buy this.
Sun Jinhua dared not utter a sound.
The family's money was either in the hands of the mother-in-law or the head of the household, and whether or not to buy anything, or how much to buy, was not something she could decide.
Mother Fan, heartbroken at the cost, muttered in a hoarse voice, "The crops in the fields, our food supply."
Fan Qian was annoyed by the two raspy voices in the house and interrupted, "Alright, alright, hurry up and spread this lime everywhere. We paid money for it, so spread it carefully!"
