The old woman became rich by relying on the supermarket instead of selling her granddaughter

After Meng Lan followed the horse-selling boy around a few corners, she stopped and followed the boy into a dilapidated courtyard.

"Brother Wei, are you still selling this donkey?" The servant knocked on the door and entered the yard, asking the first thing he did.

"Sell it? Why not? Have you found a buyer?" Wei Hai was adding food to the stone trough in front of the donkey's head, and replied without even raising his head.

"Found it, Brother Wei, I brought the person here." said the servant.

When Wei Hai heard the servant say that he had brought the buyer, he immediately stopped what he was doing, raised his head, and saw Meng Lan following behind the servant.

Wei Hai first looked at it intently, then frowned, and finally relaxed his brows.

"Aunt, it's you!" Wei Hai said in surprise.

He thought Meng Lan looked familiar at first sight, and after looking at her a few more times, he immediately remembered who she was.

Isn’t this the ex-mother-in-law of that unfaithful man?

Wei Hai thought that this aunt was a good person, and took her daughter home when she was bullied. She was not like some people who wanted to save face and let their daughter suffer in her husband's house. I am afraid that they would not regret it even if they were tortured to death one day.

If I could sell the donkey to this aunt, it would be a good place for the donkey.

Meng Lan didn't expect to meet an acquaintance when buying a donkey. When she saw that it was Wei Hai, a warm-hearted and honest young man, her eyes and brows showed a little more joy.

"I didn't expect it would be you who wanted to sell the donkey!"

"Oh..." When he said this, Wei Hai, who was originally full of joy, suddenly became dejected. He looked at Meng Lan with a sad face, then turned his head to look at the donkey reluctantly.

"If I hadn't really had no other choice, I wouldn't have thought of selling my old friend. My grandma passed away two days ago, and I didn't have the money to bury her, so I thought of selling the old donkey, the only thing in the family that was still worth some money, to get some money to make a coffin for my grandma."

Having said that, Wei Hai raised his hand and wiped his face roughly.

"She had a stroke two years ago and has been paralyzed in bed. She can't even speak. Now that she's gone, it's a relief. I lost my parents when I was young and depended on my grandmother. Now this is a good thing, so I don't have to suffer for a few more years. As a human being, this will always happen..."

Infected by Wei Hai's emotions, Meng Lan's eyes were also stained with a few traces of sadness. She also lost her parents when she was young, and depended on her grandmother for a few years before she was alone.

"Auntie, why am I telling you all this? Sorry for taking up your time. Please come and take a look at this donkey first. I have taken good care of it. Although it is a little old, it is fine. I also have matching donkey carts here. If you want them, I will give them to you."

After expressing his feelings, Wei Hai quickly adjusted his mood and began to promote his old donkey to Meng Lan.

His emotions come and go quickly.

Meng Lan thought that He Sanhua was still waiting for her at Bu's house, so she didn't waste any time and went forward to check the donkey.

Wei Hai didn't lie to her. The donkey's teeth were just a little worn, but that's how old donkeys are. Other than that, Wei Hai took good care of the donkey.

What's more, he also has a matching donkey cart, so Meng Lan was tempted.

"How much do you plan to sell this donkey for?"

"Eight taels." Wei Hai said, he just wanted to sell the donkey as soon as possible and make a better coffin so that his grandmother could be buried smoothly. So the price he quoted was not high.

According to the pricing of this dynasty, the cheapest horse cost 20 taels of silver each, and donkeys were cheaper than horses. A good young donkey could be sold for about 15 taels. If the donkey was of average quality or old, the price would be lower than 15 taels, about 12 taels.

The donkey of Wei Hai's family was indeed a bit old, but he took good care of it. If he sold it slowly, it could be sold for about ten taels. However, he sold it himself and asked others to help him sell it. It took several days before Meng Lan, a buyer, came.

Wei Hai was eager to sell it, and Meng Lan was also eager to buy a similar donkey.

She counted the money she had in her hand and found it was enough.

She usually spends money in supermarkets, and when she goes out, she usually barters. She doesn't have much money to spend.

Meng Lan felt a little distressed to spend such a large sum of money at once. But even though she felt distressed, her family really needed a donkey, so she hesitated for a moment before telling Wei Hai.

"Okay, I want this donkey."

It is quite worthwhile to exchange eight taels of silver for a donkey that can be used for at least seven or eight years, and a matching donkey cart.

With a donkey, I can make money faster than before. I estimate that it won’t take long to earn back all the money I spent on buying the donkey.

Wei Hai finally felt relieved when he saw Meng Lan's loving eyes when she looked at the donkey. If he happened to meet someone who bought the donkey and wanted to kill it for meat, he would be heartbroken.

Wei Hai was also very happy to see Meng Lan so happy.

First, he was happy that he had money to make a coffin for his grandmother, and second, he was happy that he found a good home for the donkey.

"Thank you, Auntie. Do you need me to help you secure the donkey cart?"

"Please help me get well, young man." Meng Lan nodded.

As soon as Meng Lan finished speaking, Wei Hai quickly went to harness the donkey to the donkey cart. Wei Hai's whole body was full of muscles, and the heavy donkey cart was manipulated by his big hands as if it were light cotton.

She happily gave the silver to Wei Hai, got on the donkey cart and went to Bu's house to pick up He Sanhua.

But Wei Hai kept staring at her face, making it difficult for Meng Lan not to notice.

"Young man, do you have anything else to say?" Meng Lan saw that Wei Hai had something to say, so she stopped and asked this question before leaving.

Wei Hai's cheeks turned red when his secrets were revealed, and he scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Auntie, this donkey is my old friend. After selling it, I will go out to work and support myself. Can you tell me which village you are in? If I have time in the future, can I go to see it?"

The donkey had been with Wei Hai for so many years, and in his heart it was almost like half a family member. But for his grandmother, he had to give up something.

After hearing what Wei Hai said, Meng Lan couldn't help laughing. This guy is quite loyal and righteous.

"Okay, I live in Daquan Village, which is pretty close to town. If you want to rent a donkey, go to Daquan Village and ask for He Laoliu's family."

Wei Hai looked at Meng Lan with gratitude, "Aunt, thank you, you are a good person. My name is Wei Hai."

"Okay, Wei Hai, you're welcome to come and see the donkey anytime. Auntie has something else to do, so I'll leave first."

After saying this, Meng Lan drove her donkey cart towards Bu's house.

She rushed all the way to the Bu family and parked the donkey cart in front of the gate.

The gatekeeper was still the same old woman. She smiled when she saw Meng Lan. Her face looked like a chrysanthemum when she smiled. The old woman, Chrysanthemum, enthusiastically told Meng Lan to go in without worry, and she would help her watch the car outside.

Meng Lan entered the Bu family and went straight to He Sanhua.

Qin'er had already packed up He Sanhua's things, which only filled a small bag.

He Sanhua had already put on her clothes and was sitting on the bed with her body leaning against the headboard. After Meng Lan came in, she carefully helped He Sanhua onto the donkey cart.

After saying goodbye to Qin'er and Mrs. Juhua, Meng Lan took He Sanhua to find her eldest son and his wife.

Calculating that the two of them had probably sold all their goods by now, and should be waiting for him at the town gate, Meng Lan went straight to the town gate.

When we arrived at the town gate, He Chuanzong and his wife Tian were already standing there waiting.

When He Chuanzong saw the sturdy donkey in front of Meng Lan, he couldn't help but show some joy in his eyes. Now that the family has bought a donkey, life is getting better and better. If Tian can give him another son, then his life will be perfect.

When Meng Lan drove the donkey cart closer, He Chuanzong and the Tian couple could see clearly that there was another person sitting in the donkey cart.

It turned out to be his third sister!
