Chapter 76 The County Magistrate's Brother-in-Law
The vendor thought about it and gritted his teeth again: "Okay, then I'll do as you said, and treat it as a good relationship. If you know someone who wants to buy a cow, you must introduce him to me."
As he spoke, he quickly harnessed the cart.
Li Wanyue took out fourteen taels of silver, paid the money, and left the trading market.
Li Sandong looked at his sister with starry eyes: "Sister, you are so powerful, I will chop off four taels right now."
Li Wanyue shook her head: "Generally, merchants will quote prices that are a little too high to give you room to bargain, so that you feel like you've saved money.
When they see that buyers are picking out the flaws of an item and ask the other party to lower the price, it means that the buyer likes it and really wants to buy it, so they won't lower the price by too much.
On the contrary, if you act like you think his products are good but you don’t want to buy them, they won’t be able to figure out what you are thinking. In order to prevent you from losing your products to others, they will naturally lower the price.
But it is not applicable to all. This price can only be regarded as a normal price. For example, the cost of a flatbed truck is basically the labor cost. As long as the price is not too low, it will be sold, and the profit will be less. "
Li Sandong nodded, indicating that he had learned it.
He had learned to drive an ox cart and had learned carpentry from an old carpenter. He also often delivered goods for people.
The two drove the ox cart towards Baiweilou. The livestock market was some distance away from the main street because of its strong smell.
As the ox cart passed through a quiet street, a panicked and trembling female voice was heard from the alley next to it.
"You...don't come over here. Do you know who my young lady is?"
The obese man standing in front stroked his round belly with one hand and twirled the folding fan in the other, sneering. The three servants behind him also laughed.
The man looked at the maid with contempt: "Then do you know who I am? My sister is the favorite of the county magistrate. I am the county magistrate's brother-in-law. There is nothing I cannot get if I set my eyes on someone. It is a blessing for your lady to be chosen by me. If you know what's good for you, shut up."
Li Wanyue frowned. Hearing this, it seemed that this person was not the first time to do this. He bullied others in broad daylight. How despicable.
The county magistrate's brother-in-law? He really has a backer. It seems that the county magistrate is not a good guy either. She wants to help, but she is just a peasant girl. If he wants to kill her, it will be like killing an ant.
Watching the girl being ruined? She couldn't bear it.
Tangled~~
If this person was not from the county magistrate's family, she could help report him to the authorities. But what should she do now?
While she was struggling, the ox cart suddenly stopped.
Li Wanyue looked at Li Sandong and saw that he had a sullen face: "This is too much. A grown man bullying a weak woman is really despicable. Sister, let's help them."
Li Wanyue looked at him with appreciation. This brother was kind-hearted, but before helping others, he should think about whether he had the ability to do so.
Arm wrestling with the county magistrate's brother-in-law? Unless the county magistrate is a fair and strict person.
She whispered, "He's the county magistrate's brother-in-law. He can control our family with just a flick of his finger. We should do everything within our capabilities. Even if we want to help, we can't act rashly."
After that, she looked around and saw a tree not far away. She pointed at the tree and said, "Tie the cow to the tree. I'll think of a way."
"good."
Li Wanyue jumped off the ox cart and Li Sandong tied the cart to a tree.
She looked around and found that this man was indeed fearless. He dared to do such a thing even though he was almost on the main street. There were residential areas all around, but no one came out to watch the fun?
Did he know that this guy was someone he couldn't afford to offend, or did he not hear anything?
Then she saw a flag flying not far away. It was a shop selling incense, candles and firecrackers. She grabbed a handful of ash from the stones on the side of the road, smeared it on her face, and ran over quickly.
There were many people buying things in the store. She bought three strings of firecrackers and a fire starter and hurried back.
"Sandong, can you run fast?"
"I run fast." He has been running around in the mountains since he was a child, and he is very confident in his leg strength.
Li Wanyue handed him the firecrackers and the match sticks: "Light the firecrackers, throw two bunches into the alley, and throw one bunch at the carriage at the entrance of the alley. That carriage should belong to this brother-in-law.
After throwing it, run. Run to the livestock market just now. That place is suitable for hiding. Wait half an hour and then go to Baiweilou. I will wait for you there. "
"Okay." Li Sandong took the firecrackers and tiptoed to the alley entrance. He looked around and saw that there was no one. He first leaned against the wall to look at the distance.
Seeing the two servants catching one girl and the fat man about to catch another girl, he immediately lit firecrackers and threw them into the alley.
It was thrown right at the man's feet, and Li Sandong ran away.
He threw the other string under the carriage at the entrance of the alley.
In an instant, there was the sound of firecrackers and chaotic screams, and thick smoke billowed in the alley.
The horse was frightened, raised its hooves and ran away wildly.
The man and his servant ran out of the alley quickly, and the flesh on his face trembled with anger.
He threw the fan to the ground fiercely and said, "Which bastard dares to tease me? I will skin him alive. Did you see who threw it?"
The three servants shook their heads. They all had their backs to the alley entrance. Who has eyes on the back of their head?
One of the servants saw that the carriage at the alley entrance was gone and cried out in surprise: "Master, our carriage is gone."
The man's fleshy palms directly hit the faces of several servants: "A bunch of trash, what use do I have for you? Why don't you find something?"
The three servants covered their faces and asked, "Master, are we looking for the man who threw the cannon or the carriage?"
"Of course I have. Why did I find you idiots to be my slaves? Go find them now."
The three servants looked around, one of them ran to the right, and the other two followed him.
The man rolled his eyes angrily: "Come back, idiot."
The three servants stopped immediately and almost fell down.
He ran back and asked doubtfully, "Master?"
"If you all look in the same direction, will you find it? Look separately."
After the man roared, he kicked the nearest servant, but because the servant was too fat and the kick was too strong, he staggered and fell to the ground.
"Oh oh oh." The three people didn't bother to help and immediately ran in three directions.
The man almost fainted from anger. He pounded the ground with his hands and cursed in his heart, declaring that he would sell these idiots when he got back and find a few smart ones.
When he thought of the beauty just now, he quickly got up and went back to the alley, but the alley was empty.
"If I see you again next time, I will never let you go."
He stomped his feet hard, causing them to hurt.
On the other side, Li Wanyue took advantage of the chaos and pulled the young girl and her servant out through another road, and now they were hiding in an ox cart.
Fortunately, we asked for this boxcar with tarpaulin.
Li Wanyue saw the fat man walking towards the ox cart through the gap, and her heart tightened.
"He's coming. Girl, you'd better leave, so as not to get involved with me." The girl said worriedly.
"Don't talk." Li Wanyue quickly glanced around the car.
Have two people grab the extra oilcloth at the back and lift it to the ceiling, like pulling a curtain, creating a visual difference, and the two people hide behind the curtain.
Li Wanyue took a deep breath and walked out of the carport with her mouth tilted.
As the man approached, he saw an ugly girl with a dirty face, crooked mouth and slanted eyes coming out of the ox cart.
