Chapter 225: Stupid People with Lots of Money
Boss Su led the old ox to the side of the carriage and tied it to the shaft.
"Dad, let's slaughter this cow when we get home."
If he is not killed, he will probably not live long.
"Well, I'll report to the village head later." said Old Man Su.
The imperial court has a ban that working oxen cannot be slaughtered at will.
Only sick cows or cows that have lost their ability to work are allowed to be slaughtered.
Of course, this also needs to be reported to the authorities and approved.
The news that the Su family bought a sick cow for ten taels of silver spread quickly in the market.
After all, this doesn't happen very often.
As a result, the Su family father and son and Xiao Tangbao immediately attracted many people's attention as soon as they entered the livestock market.
"See? It's this little girl who insisted on buying a sick cow..."
"This family is really something. They actually listen to a little girl..."
"If this were my daughter, I would have slapped her to death..."
"He's really stupid and rich..."
Little Sugar Baby, "..."
It turns out that there was a day when people would describe me as "stupid but rich".
Oh my, that’s great!
Little Tangbao patted his little purse, wondering whether he should prove once again that he was stupid and rich.
When she arrived, she discovered that someone had stuffed a few gold leaves into her little purse at some point.
It’s obvious that it was done by the little brother.
Alas! This little brother has made himself lose the motivation to become rich.
Little Tangbao weakly expressed the feelings of a rich man, and then saw a brown horse fall to its knees with a plop.
An old man with a haggard and weather-beaten face was touching the horse's head and crying.
"Old man Tian, last market I offered to buy your horse, but you refused. What's going on now?" A fat man with a pig-like face looked at the old man and said with a gloating look.
Old Man Tian glared at the man and said, "My horse is worth at least twelve taels of silver. If you offer ten taels, I won't sell it to you."
"Ten taels is still too much for you!" the fat man said disdainfully, "Now that you're in such a sick state, no one will buy you even five taels!"
After hearing what the man said, Old Man Tian opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.
I don’t know what’s wrong with this horse since I went home last time. It doesn’t eat grass much and looks listless.
Now I can't even stand steadily.
"Old Man Tian, I heard your son owes dozens of taels of silver. If he can't pay it back, they'll have to pay it back with his legs." The fat man continued, "I, Old Yang, have always been kind. For four taels of silver, I'll buy your sick horse!"
"You're dreaming!" Old Man Tian said angrily, "You're taking advantage of the situation!"
"Old Man Tian, think carefully. If I don't buy your horse, who will?" the fat man said arrogantly, "Do you think you'll be so lucky as to run into a family of idiots and spend ten taels of silver on a dying cow?"
Little Sugar Baby, "..."
Old Man Su, “…”
Su Xiaoliu rushed over angrily, waved his fist, and shouted: "Our family is not stupid! If you talk nonsense again, I will beat you!"
The fat man was about to scold Su Xiaoliu, but when he turned around and saw Old Man Su and Boss Su, both of them were staring at him with anger on their faces, he immediately backed down.
Old Man Su and Old Big Su work hard all year round and are tall in stature. You can tell at first glance that they are not people to be trifled with.
"Yang Dunzi, are you bullying people again?" A middle-aged man with a kind face and a smile that makes people feel like spring breeze walked over.
"Oh, it's Mr. Jin." The fat man smiled flatteringly and said, "How dare I? I felt sorry for Old Man Tian, so I wanted to do a good deed and help him. I offered four taels of silver to buy his horse, which can barely stand..."
Someone nearby had heard of Mr. Jin Shanren's name and immediately whispered to Old Man Tian, "Mr. Jin Shanren is a good man. He often buys cattle and horses at the livestock market and gives fair prices. He also knows medicine and often buys sick animals back home and then treats them himself. That's why people call him Mr. Jin Shanren. If you can sell this horse to him, not only can you get a higher price, but maybe the horse will be full of life soon..."
After hearing this, Old Man Tian looked at Mr. Jin with hope and said, "Sir, please take a look at my horse. It is usually very strong, obedient, docile, and has human nature..."
As Old Man Tian said this, he was about to drive the horse.
However, the big red horse cried out weakly twice but was unable to stand up.
Old Man Tian's tears fell again.
Yang Dunzi immediately said, "This horse can't even stand up. Old man Tian, stop deceiving Mr. Jin."
After saying this, he looked at Mr. Jin and continued, "Mr. Jin, you must not buy this horse. If you buy it, it will probably die within a few days. It would be a waste of money."
After hearing what Yang Dunzi said, most of the people around him showed expressions of agreement.
It is obvious that if we buy this horse, it will die if something goes wrong.
Old Man Tian's eyes were red, and he looked at Mr. Jin pleadingly and said, "Mr. Jin, please buy it. Dahong is really a good horse. I came here last time and it was still fine..."
"It has been sick since we went to the market. You can buy it and treat it. It can save its life. The price is up to you..."
After hearing what Old Man Tian said, Mr. Jin sighed with pity and said, "How about this, I'll give you six taels of silver, and I'll consider it a charity."
As soon as Mr. Jin Shan finished speaking, the people around him showed expressions of admiration and respect.
"It really is Mr. Jin..."
"Mr. Jin is kind-hearted..."
"Good man..."
Little Tangbao looked at Old Man Su and called out softly.
"father."
Old Man Su: "...Hey."
The look in his little girl's eyes made him feel that the money in his pocket was about to be lost again.
He originally didn't want to bring his little girl in, but the little girl insisted on following him.
What if she doesn’t like the horse you buy?
He thought about it and it made sense.
The big black horse pulling the cart today is fat and strong, and it especially listens to the little girl.
My little girl also liked the horse very much and named it "Honghong".
The horse you buy for yourself has to be liked by your little girl, right?
But now, Old Man Su felt a little regretful.
I have already bought a sick cow, do I have to buy a dying horse?
However, the next moment——
"Dad, look how pitiful this horse is. It can't even stand up. Should we buy it?"
Little Tangbao said something in a soft voice that frightened Old Man Su.
"My dear... do we really have to buy it?" Old Man Su discussed. "If Mr. Jin buys this horse back, maybe it can be cured and will be alive and kicking again soon. If we buy it back and it dies, won't the horse be even more pitiful?"
Little Tangbao blinked his eyes and brewed his emotions.
Then, a layer of mist covered his big eyes.
Old Man Su, "...Buy it! Girl, let's buy it right away!"
