She went to the rice store and bought two pounds of flour and four pounds of rice. She saw a vendor selling candied haws at the street corner and bought a bunch. By the time she left the county town, her basket was overflowing with goodies.
She had too many things in her hands, and her body was weak. By the time she got back, it would be dark. Bei Yutang found the horse and carriage market outside the city, where there were ox carts that traveled between villages.
If you want to save effort, you can just spend two copper coins and do it.
Bei Yutang found the oxcart heading to Nanxi Village. When the driver saw Bei Yutang, especially when he saw that she was carrying so many things, he looked at her warily.
"Kinomo, I'm telling you, don't even think about riding in a white car. You don't..."
Bei Yutang threw two copper coins onto the ox cart, and the driver immediately fell silent.
It's no wonder the driver disliked her. It was just that Mu Zhitao was too shameless. She never paid every time she rode in the ox cart. Over time, people in the surrounding area would run away when they saw Mu Zhitao and would never let her get on the cart.
The driver looked at Kinomo suspiciously, muttering to himself.
Strangely, this Mu Zhitao has changed his temper and actually paid. This is the first time in all these years that has happened.
Many people arrived one after another, two of whom were from Nanxi Village. The two women were surprised to see Mu Zhitao on the ox cart.
One of them joked to the driver, "Niu Dashan, why are you so generous today? You're letting people ride for free. Are you going to waive all the fees today?"
Bei Yutang ignored the woman's sarcasm.
Niu Dashan glanced at Mu Zhitao, his suspicion growing. Why was she so quiet today? If she had heard someone bullying her like this on a normal day, she would have jumped out and started a fight.
"We charge for everything, no matter what," said Niu Dashan.
Aunt Wang sneered, "Dashan, you're lying with your eyes open. I never pay for my rides."
Everyone followed Aunt Wang's gaze and looked at Bei Yutang.
"If you don't charge money today, we won't pay either. You have to treat everyone equally." Aunt Wang took the opportunity to ask, saving every penny counts.
"Mu Zhitao, I really paid." Niu Dashan said solemnly.
"Tsk, you're afraid we won't pay, so you're deliberately hiding it for her. Dashan, it's so unkind of you to do this. It would be a disaster if your wife heard about this," another woman continued.
Niu Dashan was speechless, feeling powerless. He couldn't help but look at Bei Yutang, wanting her to speak.
Bei Yutang didn't say anything, but took out two copper coins from her purse and threw them to Niu Dashan.
Niu Dashan was stunned and waved his hands quickly, "No, you've already given it to me."
"It's okay, just consider it the old fare."
Bei Yutang finished speaking without even glancing at the two women's surprised expressions. Now their chance to take advantage of the situation was gone.
Aunt Wang felt a little uncomfortable and couldn't help muttering, "Oh, this is a fortune."
Bei Yutang didn't even look at her and ignored her completely.
Aunt Wang and the other woman looked at each other, felt bored, and stopped talking.
When most people had boarded, Che Niu headed towards Nanxi Village.
Arriving at Nanxi Village, Niu Dashan wanted to return the two copper coins to Bei Yutang, but she refused. Bei Yutang saw a small person squatting on the hillside from a distance, and when he saw her, he ran towards her.
