Chapter 59 I didn’t say you can’t bargain!
Feng Bi had obtained Bu Wei's consent in advance, and when he saw that they were about to leave, he pulled the donkey cart that had been harnessed long ago in front of the Gu family.
"Because of the law, even if I want to thank the miracle doctor for saving me, I can't be too high-profile. This donkey cart is my own. I hope you won't think it's too little!"
Ran Qingxuan knew that it was not easy for ordinary people in ancient times to own a donkey cart. Although Feng Bi was a post station chief, he also received a fixed salary from the court. This cart might have taken up half of his fortune.
After a little thought, Ran Qingxuan's consciousness entered the space, put fifty taels of silver without the official seal into a square medicine box, and handed it to Feng Bi, using the excuse that it was a plaster that would help wound healing.
When Feng Bi received the heavy box, he knew it was no ordinary thing. He held it in his arms like a treasure and thanked Ran Qingxuan profusely.
Fifty taels of silver could buy seven or eight donkey carts, and considering that she had saved the Feng family's lifeline, just one donkey cart was not enough to pay back the money.
But Ran Qingxuan and the Gu family were not the greedy type, and they were considered lucky to have a donkey cart to help them on their journey to exile.
Especially for things like this that have been taken away without a doubt, the prisoners might be jealous to the point of going crazy, but for the officers, it is also convenient for them.
It would only get colder and colder, and winter quilts wouldn't grow on their own, so the prisoners had to fetch them for them, and if there were donkey carts they would speed up along the way.
Old Madam Gu knew that Gu Yanchen was pretending to be seriously injured, and she felt sorry for him because he couldn't eat or move all day. The donkey cart given by Feng Bi just solved this problem. How could she not be happy.
After the Gu family expressed their gratitude solemnly, Gu Yanchen was also moved to the donkey cart by the Chen family father and son.
The vegetable cart he had ridden before had accomplished its mission of common prosperity, and Bu Wei felt that he was slowly recovering after taking the medicine again, so he simply decided not to ride it.
While the team was getting ready to set off, Zhao Chunxiu and Li Si walked forward and bowed to Bu Wei with flattering smiles on their faces.
"Sir, my son is still injured. My mother and I don't have the strength to carry him. You guys can't use this cart anymore. Can you give it to our family?"
Bu Wei knew that this cart belonged to the Gu family. He glanced at the Gu family and frowned.
"You'll have to ask the Gu family. After all, they paid for the cart."
Ran Qingxuan also heard Bu Wei's words and was a little surprised for a moment, but when he thought about being able to cheat the Li family, he immediately said in embarrassment: "This car was bought by Madam Chang for ten taels of silver. If I give it to you..."
Zhao Chunxiu didn't expect that the officials would side with the Gu family. She secretly thought that Ran Qingxuan really had a seductive face and a vicious mind, but he still had to put on a flattering smile on his face.
Ran Qingxuan felt sickened by her appearance, so he simply said, "Mr. Bu still has some poison in his body, so I'm giving him this cart. If you want it, go buy it from him!"
In fact, Bu Wei and Feng Bi have a good relationship. Helping Ran Qingxuan to blackmail the Li family is also a disguised way of thanking Ran Qingxuan for saving Xiaodou.
However, he did not expect that Ran Qingxuan was so sensible. No matter how much Zhao Chunxiu could give, the benefits would still be his.
But if the Li family is extremely poor, then it would be meaningless to say this.
Secretly applauding Ran Qingxuan in his heart, Bu Wei raised his eyebrows and sat down on the cart to declare his sovereignty.
"Mom, buy it, otherwise our family will be exhausted sooner or later if we keep going like this!"
Li Si carried Zhao Chunxiu, who later pretended to faint, on his back for the entire morning. His delicate feet were covered with blisters. If he had not been afraid of being beaten, he would have cried out in grief.
When Li Xinyuan saw that Zhao Chunxiu had woken up, he handed the task of carrying Li Yuan over to the mother and daughter. Zhao Chunxiu was beaten several times and there was hardly a single spot on her body left.
Asking her to carry Li Yuan again would be like asking her to die!
Seeing Zhao Chunxiu's embarrassed expression, Bu Wei thought that she didn't have enough money. He curled his lips and was about to ask for less, when he saw her turn her back and fumble for a moment, then took out an ingot of silver, exactly ten taels!
"Sir, this is all I have. Look at this cart..."
After taking the white silver, Bu Wei lay down on the cart, bit the silver in his hand, and said "kindly".
“Originally I thought your family didn’t have much money, and I was wondering if you should order less, but I didn’t expect you to be so straightforward!
For the sake of money, I will reluctantly squeeze in with your son. ”
"Pfft..." The people around who were originally envious of the Li family for having a cart couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Ran Qingxuan didn't expect that Bu Wei was so mean. It would have been better if he didn't say anything. Now that he said that, wouldn't it just cause trouble for the Li family?
Sure enough, when Zhao Chunxiu heard that Bu Wei was going to give them less money and that she had simply offered ten taels of silver without even asking for the price, she started to beat Li Si, who was also dumbfounded, like a madman.
"You are such an impatient person. You are the only one who is tired, not me. There is not much money at home now. Just one word from you caused me to give away ten taels for nothing. You are really a money-loser..."
Li Si was beaten so badly that he had no power to defend himself. Moreover, since this was his biological mother, he dared not resist even more.
In the end, it was an official who urged them to set off, which ended the farce.
Bu Wei lay on the cart and ordered his men to move quilts and cooking utensils onto the cart. The Li family spent ten taels of silver, but in the end Li Yuan did not even get one-third of it.
Zhao Chunxiu felt even more aggrieved when she saw her son feeling aggrieved. Li Si almost never stopped crying along the way.
The Gu family got a donkey cart that could shelter them from the wind and rain. As long as Gu Yanchen lay inside, no one would be discovered if he did anything as long as the curtain was not lifted.
While putting the packages in, Ran Qingxuan quietly took out a lot of food. Gu Yanchen hurriedly ate and lay down, wondering in his heart what the meaning of Ran Qingxuan's last look was.
Two hours after Ran Qingxuan and the others left, Feng Dou, who had been in a semi-comatose state, finally woke up.
In fear, he subconsciously called out "Mom". The two people who had been guarding in the room rushed to the bed instantly. Because of Ran Qingxuan's warning, they did not dare to touch her casually.
With tears in her eyes, Mrs. Lu reached out and carefully stroked the child's head with joy.
"Douzi, you scared me to death. Don't pull a horse's tail next time, okay?"
"Mom, am I dead?"
Feng Bi was angry and distressed. The man in his forties sat on the edge of the bed and wiped his tears.
"What do you mean by life or death? Douzi is lucky to have met a goddess. If I hadn't saved you, you would never leave your parents!"
Feng Dou stared at his crying parents and suddenly smiled.
"Dad and Mom, how did you know that I saw the Fairy Sister? She was wearing white clothes and everything around her was also white...
I also heard the fairy sister say that you were waiting for me and asked me to hold on and not sleep! ”
Hearing this, the Feng couple thought that the child was just hallucinating while unconscious, but the young Feng Dou had already memorized the figure in the white surgical gown in his heart.
