I became a villain's stepmother and married a rough man from the mountains

Chapter 66 Shocked!A woman rented a mule at a high price. After listening to the woman's request, the woman shook her head.

In fact, according to Su Wan's original idea, he planned to bring those reeds back by himself.

But Mrs. Meng said beside her that if she was not in a hurry, she would ask Brother Meng to help send her there when his injury was almost healed.

Su Wan thought about it and thought it made sense.

I can't use these things now.

And she still has very urgent things to deal with.

That's since learning that soap can fetch a pretty good price in the town.

She just wanted to find someone who could take her to the town.

But after all, he is a countryman, and it is not easy to go to the town.

After all, it is at least forty or fifty miles every time you go back and forth.

It would be really inconvenient without some means of transportation.

Their village is not particularly rich, and there are no more than three of those mounts in the entire village.

The village head's family has a cow, but the common property in the village can hardly be used for external use.

And every time you use it, you have to apply in advance, and you have to pay a sum of money after a lot of instructions have been issued for a period of time. In addition, the cattle must not be injured during the use period, otherwise, you will have to pay a fine.

But even so, the use of cattle is in short supply.

After all, one cow can do as much work as four or five middle-aged men, and at the end of the day, as long as it is properly arranged, it can save a little money.

In addition to the cow in the village head's house, there is also a donkey in Sun Erniang's house, but their donkey is usually used to grind tofu every day.

It is almost impossible for outsiders to borrow it. Although their relationship has improved, it is not good enough to borrow such a precious thing.

The last one left is that there is a mule in Chen's mother-in-law's house.

This mule was obtained by accident when Chen's mother-in-law was still alive.

Later, when the mule is older, it will be sold again, and then a small mule will be bought.

This has been repeated until now it is the fourth mule.

This is all thanks to the background left by her man back then, otherwise, it would be really unaffordable for other people.

This can also explain how strong a hunter's family is.

Su Wan saw the door of her own house, but instead of going in, she went to another house and knocked on the door.

The purpose of her coming this time is also very simple.

She just wanted to discuss with Chen's mother-in-law if she could rent her mule for a day, and she wanted to go to the town to see if it was the case.

If the market is really good, then she plans to rent a mule for a month, and give a certain amount of remuneration every month according to the silver taels she earns.

She felt that Chen's mother-in-law would agree.

But she completely ignored that the other party is an old man after all. Although he looks old, he is not old and confused.

She had already thought of this too.

Therefore, when Chen's mother-in-law opened the door and saw Su Wan, she was not surprised at all, but smiled lightly, as if she had expected it long ago.

"come in."

After Chen's mother-in-law opened the door, she let Su Wan in.

Su Wan followed behind, she felt a little strange, the room was quiet, not a single sound could be heard, as if there was no one in the house at all.

Su Wan couldn't help but speak from behind.

"Is the mother-in-law the only one at home?"

"Well, after all, my old friend still hasn't brought a bunch of things, so I asked my daughter-in-law to drive a mule to pick her up, and bring the luggage here by the way."

Chen's mother-in-law sat on the chair and poured a cup of tea for the other party.

Su Wan quickly took it over.

"Tell me, what do you want to tell me when you come here this time?"

Chen's mother-in-law had an expression that she had seen through long ago.

Su Wan never expected the other party to be so straightforward.

"It seems that my mother-in-law is really experienced. She must already know the purpose of my visit. If that's the case, I don't need to hide it any longer."

"Let's get straight to the point and say, I want to rent my mother-in-law's mule for a day, but I don't know if it's possible."

Su Wan stared at Granny Chen.

Chen's mother-in-law took a sip of tea, and then put the tea cup in her hand on the table next to her.

"Of course, as long as you dare to rent it, I will definitely rent it out. How long do you plan to rent? Is it a long-term rental or a short-term rental?"

Chen's mother-in-law smiled and looked amiable.

But for some reason, Su Wan always felt that the other party's smile had a foxy expression, as if there was a hint of conspiracy.

"It's not clear at the moment. From the current situation, if you plan to rent for a day tomorrow, whether you can rent for a long time in the future depends on the situation."

Chen's mother-in-law nodded slightly.

"It's so good, why do you want to rent this all of a sudden? Could it be that you have something to do in the town?"

Chen's mother-in-law deliberately wanted the other party to talk about it first.

Su Wan also finally understood the other party's thoughts.

Could it be that the other party also wants to get involved.

"Ever since I heard my mother-in-law say that soap is a very sought-after item in the small town last night, I plan to go and see it myself tomorrow."

"If all this is really what my mother-in-law said, I may need to rent your mule for a long time."

Su Wan didn't hide the slightest thing, she just admitted it openly, anyway, she needs to know in the future.

"It turned out that I wanted to do business."

"Doing business is good, and doing business is much better than farming."

"It's not bad for girls to do business at home. They are more careful than men."

"What do you think? Are you alone?"

"What do you mean?"

Su Wan deliberately pretended not to know.

"Isn't this a little too dangerous? After all, she's a girl. It's not good if she encounters any trouble along the way, or encounters some dubious people to bully her."

"And you are also the mother of two children now. If you are not at home often, the two children will miss you very much."

"It must be very hard for you to make soap every day, and you drag it to the town to sell it and then come back. I'm afraid the time will be quite rushed."

Chen's mother-in-law said nothing.

But no matter which sentence it is, it will always surround Su Wan.

Su Wan now also understands what the other party meant.

It must be impossible for the other party to lend her the mule as she wished, even with money.

"Then according to your intention..."

There was a hint of a smile on Su Wan's face.

"Hehe...Actually, as you can see, there is almost no one else in my house except that child."

"That child is a good child, but he ended up following my unlucky son, which made him a widow within half a year after he came to the house."
