After passing through the book, she became the farmer's wife of the villain

Chapter 68 Jealous of her family buying a cow

"I...can't I help it?"

The old man shrank his neck and choked up: "This cow is the lifeblood of our family. We have relied on it to pull carts to make a living in the past two years. If it hadn't been for the loss of income from the fields and the family's livelihood, I wouldn't have thought of selling it, old man."

it."

He pointed to the bullock cart on one side and showed it to Mei Laoer: "Look, my bullock cart also has a shed, which can protect it from wind and rain. It didn't take long to buy it. I took good care of it and it was still new. When I bought it,

It also cost more than twenty taels of silver."

Before Mei Laoer could say anything, the cow seller next to him continued: "Guest, don't listen to him. Come and see my cow. It has strong legs and feet, and it has good teeth. Although it is thin, it is hard to work in the fields."

With a good hand, you will definitely not suffer any loss if you buy my cow."

As soon as these words came out, the old man's head dropped.

This cow can't be sold today!

Mei Laoer frowned. He didn't know how to make a decision. The old man's cow was indeed good, but expensive. The cow next to him was cheap, but he was not optimistic about it.

He looked at his daughter who was standing aside and staring at the big bull, and asked: "Sanya, which one do you think we should buy?"

Guniu is a name given to bulls by rural people.

Merome withdrew her gaze from the bull and pointed at the old man, "Buy his. Although it is more expensive, the bull is strong and should be fine for traveling."

She didn't understand cows, but seeing her father's troubled expression, she knew he should be more optimistic about this one.

"Okay, let's buy this one."

Sure enough, as soon as Melo Mei finished speaking, Mei Laoer became happy and danced around the big bull. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it, just like how a modern man feels when he buys a BMW.

Now that he had decided to buy it, the old man was also happy. He immediately helped to set up the car, collected the money, and went to the Yamen to go through the transfer procedures. Then he looked at his big bull with longing.

"It is very obedient. I hope you will treat it well." The old man reluctantly touched the cow's head and hugged its neck.

Reluctant to leave, looking back three times every step.

The man selling cattle next to him rolled his eyes when he saw that Melo and Mei didn't want to buy his cattle: "What a fool, I don't want to buy something cheap."

Melome: "It's not certain who is the fool."

The man selling the cow was choked.

The two climbed onto the cart, and Mei Laoer waved his whip and drove the cart forward.

Finally, you don’t have to worry about cow dung on your feet!

But this wheel...

Melome lay on the car window and looked down - it was hard to explain!

The oxcart drove out of the cattle and horse market. At Melome's strong request, Mei Laoer had to spend some money and buy some water to wipe the carriage wheels carefully. Then the two of them continued to go to the street.

Buy something online.

The county town is now less lively than before, with only a few people here and there. Except for the food store, other shops are not doing well. They are deserted and deserted. Not a single person has been seen for a long time.

From the shopkeeper to the clerk, they are either napping or cleaning.

Melome shook her head, feeling that it was really hard to get along in ancient times. There were always natural disasters, and no matter how hard it was to fight, people were often frightened.

The two of them went to several stores before buying the things they wanted to buy and loading them into the car. Melomei took inventory again: cowhide bags for water, cowhide bags and linen bags for packing things, small jars for seasonings, and cowhide boots.

, umbrellas, daggers, butcher knives... I bought a few more large tanks, planning to put them at home to store water.

I wanted to buy a tent, but unfortunately it was not sold in ancient times, so I had to give up!

Mei Laoer came back with his bullock cart. As soon as he entered the village, he attracted some villagers to watch.

"Brother Mei Er, who owns this ox cart you want to borrow? Why haven't you seen it in the village?" A villager saw Mei Lao Er driving the ox cart and asked.

Mei Laoer stopped the ox cart and smiled proudly: "We bought this ourselves."

Thinking of the last time the fourth brother had a leg problem and had to borrow a bullock cart, he had to borrow it from several houses. Mei Laoer couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

It feels good to have a car at home, otherwise if you need to borrow a car anywhere, you have to look for connections.

One person said in an eccentric manner: "Oh, Brother Mei has become rich. Now he has bought all the bullock carts. Tell me where you can make a fortune, and I will go and do it."

Mei Laoer: "..."

Another villager said: "Yes, second brother, tell the brothers where you can make a fortune and let's go together. When the time comes, we will make enough money to treat you to a meal."

Another person came forward with a bucket and patted Mei Laoer sitting on the bullock cart: "We are all from the same village. If we have money, we should make it together, right?"

Others gathered around the big bull to watch and point.

Some people said that the ox was very big and must have cost more money; some people said that Mei Lao Er might have owed a lot of debt to buy the ox cart. Some even said that Mei Lao Er did not consider the girls in the family and was so poor that he could not get it.

Who wants to marry his girl after paying a dowry and still owing a lot of debt...

In short, I just can’t see you well!

Melome couldn't stand listening anymore. She opened the curtain and walked out, stood on the shaft of the cart, and said with an unhappy expression: "My family really owes a lot of money for buying the ox cart, and our family can't afford the dowry, so I beg you a thousand dollars."

Don't fall in love with my girl."

Damn, who wants to marry someone who gets pink eye because he thinks other people's families are better than his own?

Everyone was stunned.

They didn't expect that the third daughter of the Mei family was in the car!

"Dad, go back quickly, there is still a lot of work waiting to be done at home!" Merome called out "Mei Lao Er", turned around and got into the oxcart, not wanting to talk to everyone.

After hearing this, Mei Laoer looked at the crowd, waved his whip with a complicated expression, and drove the bullock cart out of the crowd.

A villager behind him watched the ox cart go away and said angrily: "Isn't it just an ox cart? What's so big about it? Look at how he pulls it."

Mei Laoer and Melo Mei walked away: "..."

The two drove the bullock cart into the yard and moved the things out.

Mei Laoer went to build a small house for the cow, but then the door was knocked.

"Who?"

"You idiot, you don't even recognize your mother?" Mrs. Mei's angry voice came from outside the door.

"Oh, it turns out to be my mother!"

Mei Laoer hurried forward to open the courtyard door. Looking at the people standing outside the door, he asked in surprise: "Mom, why are you here?"

It's not surprising that he was surprised. They had been separated for several months, and although there was only a wall between them, Mrs. Mei and the others had never visited her.

"Why, I can't come to my son's house?" Mrs. Mei pushed Mei Laoer away and walked into the yard.

Mei Laosan and Xiao Zhang followed closely behind.

When she saw the cows in the yard, Xiao Zhang said in a sour tone: "Our family is almost out of rice, and my second brother's family still has money to buy cows. I really don't miss my brother!"

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed that Mei Lao'er's family could afford a bullock cart.

She originally planned to go to Liu's house today, but she heard from a passing villager that her second brother's house had bought a bullock cart, so she hurried back and called her mother-in-law and the head of the house to see it, but she didn't expect it to be true.

"Second brother, your bull is so strong, why don't you lend it to your brother for a few days?" Mei Laosan walked around the bullock cart several times, his eyes full of calculations.

Mrs. Mei went up to take a look at the big bull and said: "Second brother, give your cow to me and your father. From now on, we two elders will not need your second wife's filial piety money."

Mei Laoer: "..."

He really didn't know that buying a cow would cause so much trouble.

Pulling the reins, he was at a loss and didn't know how to answer.

I was so happy when I started buying cattle, but now I feel so helpless!

"Mom, this... these are two different things, this cow... this cow..." Mei Laoer pulled the reins tightly, trying to refuse but couldn't say anything.

Mrs. Mei said aggressively: "What's wrong with this cow? This cow looks just right to me. Your father is old and can't do much heavy work. With this cow, he can be used to plow the land."

"Yes, dad is getting older, and now my second brother has cattle, so he can help dad and mom plow the land."

Mei Laosan took over the topic and felt that what he didn't have, this useless second brother didn't deserve either.

Little Zhang: "That's right, my second uncle is so filial, so he shouldn't be stingy with such a cow!"

"Yes, dad is filial, otherwise our whole family would not live in thatched huts, but let grandma live in big brick houses."

Melomei put her things away and came out of the house. She happened to hear what Xiao Zhang said and couldn't help but get angry.

"My uncle and aunt must be as filial as my father. I heard that your family's ten acres of land were sold for a lot of money, which is more than enough to buy a cow. How about your uncle and aunt buy a cow for grandma to use?"

This couple didn't want to work, so they couldn't wait to sell off all their property after they split up, causing Old Man Mei to chase them from the beginning of the village to the end of the village, causing a big fuss that the whole village knew about.

"Who said we have money, how much is the land worth? It has been spent long ago."

Xiao Zhang shrank her neck, not daring to say that most of the money was used for her daughter's business.

Mei Lao San saw that Mrs. Mei was looking at the two of them with something wrong, and said hurriedly: "My mother is right, mother, you don't know how much our land can be sold for. Besides, your grandson is not young anymore. He has to start early."

Don't you care about each other? We still have a big family, and we have to eat even if we are separated."

Little Mrs. Zhang hurriedly cried and said: "Mom, we really have no money, and we are almost out of food. Don't listen to Sanya's nonsense. We are not like some white-eyed wolves who don't consider honoring the elderly at all."

Melo Mei rolled her eyes and said: "The third uncle and the third aunt are really filial to the old man, even the land they have been allocated is sold, tsk tsk tsk..."

Turning to look at Mrs. Mei, "Nai, that's your second elder's hard work."

Mrs. Mei "..."

This damn girl is stirring up trouble again.

Little Zhang was so angry that she jumped up and shouted, "Mom, don't listen to her nonsense, this damn girl is very cunning."

"Yes, mother, we are here this time..." Mei Laosan approached Mrs. Mei and whispered with her.

Seeing the two people muttering, they knew what they were discussing. Melome didn't have the patience to wait for them to discuss countermeasures, so she directly said to Mei Laoer: "Dad, please take the cow aside, don't let it in our yard."

Shit in there.”

Mei Laoer was not sure how to deal with it. Hearing this, he immediately said: "Dad, I'll take over now."

Mei Laoer glanced at his daughter with a worried expression and hurriedly led the cow away.
