The house in the middle, some distance from the front and back, with its door wide open, is my home.
Qin Mu had been driving for five consecutive days and was quite exhausted.
Especially when encountering steep slopes and muddy roads, everyone has to get off the truck and pull the load up one vehicle at a time.
All I wanted to do at that moment was find a place to rest, so when I heard Chi Yu's words, I followed the direction she pointed.
Therefore, when Chi Erxiong and his son came out, they only saw the carriage disappear into the distance.
As Chi Qing walked towards the Chi family's old house, he said:
"Dad, Auntie said she wanted to open a general store, and she probably asked Brother Qin Mu to help her set it up."
The person has delivered the items; let's go over and take a look, and help tidy them up while we're at it.
In this weather, it would be best if my aunt could open her grocery store.
If everything is readily available, it will be convenient for everyone to buy whatever they need at home!
Chi Erxiong followed behind without saying a word, but he was wondering in his heart whether Xiaoyu would sell grain this time.
That was what they had tried every means to hoard before.
If we sell them all to the villagers, what will happen to our families if the natural disaster continues for a long time?
It seems I still need to find some time to ask my older brother again.
I suppose the elder brother didn't object to Xiaoyu and sister-in-law talking about selling grain before, so he must have known what was going on!
Chi Yu, unaware of her second brother's thoughts, sat on the carriage shaft and sighed:
"After all, it's a horse-drawn carriage, unlike people who walk."
Because of its geographical location, the roads between the two villages in Chijia'ao are paved with gravel.
This way, it's easy to walk whether it's snowing or raining.
But the rain has been so heavy these past few days that I have to be very careful when I go out, for fear of tripping and falling.
It took me a full fifteen minutes to walk from my home to my second brother's house.
Now it takes less than three minutes to see home.
Chi Yu was just expressing her feelings, but Qin Mu took it to heart and even started thinking about how to send her the carriage.
After all, the girl's advance notice allowed him to make many preparations.
Putting everything else aside, he dares to guarantee that he can reduce the deaths of at least tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of ordinary people.
She was the benefactor of the people of Jianzhou Prefecture and several surrounding prefectures, as well as the benefactor of the soldiers on the frontier.
Now that she wants even a mere carriage, he has to find a way to get her to accept it.
It's unrealistic to say that the Chi family bought it.
After all, the three families had just pooled their resources to buy a mule cart a while ago.
As for Chi Yu paying for it himself, he'd probably be criticized to death.
The husband's family only lost seventy taels in total, while buying a horse and carriage would cost at least fifty taels.
If we were to send it directly, it would be neither legitimate nor justifiable.
When outsiders ask, it's even more important not to reveal the specific reasons...
Just as Qin Mu was pondering these things, the Chi family arrived.
Hearing the commotion from inside the gate, Chi Qiao came out wearing a straw hat and just then saw Chi Yu carrying something in his hand, jumping down from the carriage shaft.
Before she could speak, Chi Yu said directly, "Sister-in-law, Brother Qin brought me something."
Chi Qiao, who originally had a lot to say upon seeing this scene, quickly said:
"Quickly, drive the car in, come inside and have a cup of hot tea to warm yourself up!"
Since it was getting late, Chi Yu was happy, but she also guessed that Qin Mu and the others must be hungry by now.
She glanced at the sausages and cured meat in her hand, and then said:
"Brother Qin, you take your men and drive the car in first, then have a cup of tea to warm yourself up."
I'll go to the kitchen and see if I can make you something to tide you over!
