I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

Ji Xiaobei muttered to himself.

The old donkey uncle looked at the two slightly trembling donkey legs and felt a pang in his heart. This donkey really can't take it.

"Look, those two calves are still shaking. If they are put in the livestock market, no one will even look at them! How much fodder will I have to buy to fatten them up..." Ji Xiaobei kept chattering all the way.

The old donkey's face looked worse and worse, and the more he looked at it, the more it looked like a burden.

When they arrived at the county town, the two old women got off the donkey cart, and the height of the cart was suddenly raised a lot.

Ji Xiaobei also got out of the car.

"Look how tired you are! You can't do it anymore!" Ji Xiaobei waved his hand and was about to leave.

"Hey, girl, if you give me some more, I'll sell the donkey to you!" said the old donkey uncle gritting his teeth.

"I bought a donkey, and your cart is of no use. Why don't you sell it to me?" Ji Xiaobei said as he stepped on the wheel.

"I don't want this car very much. If you want to sell it, please sell it to me for a total of 6 taels of silver!"

Uncle Laolu gritted his teeth and said, "No, this won't work. I just had my car repaired last year."

"Okay, I don't want it. I'm already in the county. There's any kind of donkey I can't buy, and any kind of car I can't buy." After saying that, he was about to leave.

Uncle Laolu grabbed her and said, "Don't leave. I'll sell it to you!"

"Okay, let's find a place to write a document and hand over the money and the goods!" Ji Xiaobei said cheerfully.

The stone, attracted by the passers-by, finally came to its senses. What?

Does my sister really want to buy a donkey cart?

Along the way, he thought that his sister was teasing Uncle Donkey just to relieve boredom.

How come it was sold to her?

Uncle Donkey drove the donkey cart forward to find an inn.

"Sister, you can't buy it!" Shitou was so anxious that he was sweating. How much money did his mother give to his elder sister that she was so confident?

As far as he knew, the family had no more than two taels of silver...

"Boy, my sister and I have already agreed, let's go! Do you have the final say?" The old donkey felt relieved when he saw that the young man was about to cry.

It seems that the donkey and the cart were worth selling.

When they arrived at the inn, they spent five cents to get the document written, one copy for each person.

Ji Xiaobei took out a handful of silver beads from his pocket. The clerk helped to weigh them with a scale, gave the cut silver coins to Ji Xiaobei, and turned around to do other things.

Uncle Laolu left happily with six taels of silver and the documents in his pocket.

A man who looked like a shopkeeper came over, and Ji Xiaobei went up to him and asked, "Shopkeeper, can you take a look at this? How much is my donkey cart worth?"

"Do you want to sell it?" asked the shopkeeper.

"Just sell it if the price is right!" said Ji Xiaobei.

The shopkeeper looked around and saw no one else but a young boy squatting at the door with a red face and tears in his eyes.

The shopkeeper thought to himself: Is this a difficult problem?

He walked around the donkey cart, looked at the donkey's chewing and said, "This is a young donkey that has just grown up. The chewing is good, but it's a little thin. I'll give it 8 taels of silver!"

Ji Xiaobei was delighted, as he had earned two taels of silver in this round trip, not counting the carriage.

"And the carriage?"

"At most nine taels of silver. Your carriage is no good. The boards are too thin and not durable," said the shopkeeper.

"Thank you, shopkeeper. I'll leave the donkey and the cart with you first. We'll go buy some things!" Ji Xiaobei took out ten cents from his pocket and put it in his hand.

"Boss, after deducting the money for fodder, I'll use the rest to buy you some wine," said Ji Xiaobei.

The shopkeeper was very happy, and he led the donkey and said, "Don't worry, I'll ask the boy to feed you and give it a bath!"

Stone's tears finally flowed out.

My sister actually gave the shopkeeper five cents more, wuwuwuwu...

"Are you going to leave or not?" Ji Xiaobei shouted at Shitou.

Shitou stood up reluctantly, his eyes red. After returning home, he told his mother that he had advised his sister, but she did not listen.

At this moment, he felt that as the only man in the family, he could not make any decisions.

Shitou followed Ji Xiaobei with a wronged look on his face, as if he had lost his soul.

I bought a donkey cart for six taels of silver, but the donkey was so thin that it couldn't plow the fields or eat meat, and I had to feed it with grass. It was a huge loss.

"I bought the donkey cart. You don't have to sit on it when you go back." After saying this, Ji Xiaobei strode forward.

"Sister, that's not what I meant. I think it's too expensive. What's the use of having a donkey cart given our family's situation?" Shitou said aggrievedly.

"Of course it is useful. Didn't you hear what the shopkeeper said? Our car is worth 9 taels of silver. How much did we pay for it?" Ji Xiaobei asked.

"Six taels!" said Shi Tou.

"Which is more, six or nine?" Ji Xiaobei asked unhappily.

Shitou counted on his fingers, and his tear-stained face suddenly blossomed: "Sister, nine is bigger than six, which means I earned three taels of silver!"

He was feeling sorry for spending the six taels of silver just now and didn't even listen to what the shopkeeper said.

So, we made a profit?

Otherwise? Ji Xiaobei glared at him.

The stone smiled into a moist flower.

But, but where did her money come from?

Before he could figure it out, Ji Xiaobei had already walked a long way away.

Damn it! I don’t care where it came from, I’ve already bought the donkey cart.

The donkey cart belonged to our family, and as the only man in the family, the task of driving the cart fell on my shoulders.

In other words: I, Ji Shitou, have a donkey cart!

He bit his lip and thought about it again. No problem, this logic was correct.

He chuckled twice, waved his arms vigorously, and ran after his elder sister.

"Sister, where are we going?" Shi Tou asked flatteringly.

"Go to the pawnshop!" Ji Xiaobei said expressionlessly.

"Go, pawn..." Shitou scratched his ears and thought for a while. The eldest sister was talking about going to a pawn shop, but did they have anything on their bodies that could be pawned?

Suddenly, his expression became a little unnatural. No way! I've never heard of pawning a living person in a pawn shop!

He has never been to the county. Could it be that the bank in the county is also called a pawnshop?

No! He won't go, the donkey cart has not been driven yet...

woo woo woo...

There seemed to be a pawn shop in front. He saw some people bringing their children in, some bringing their wives in, and even two men going in together, but he didn't see anyone coming out.

Shitou's legs were trembling, and with a pale face, he grabbed his sister and begged for mercy, "Sister, I will listen to you from now on, and I will never go against you again. If you want to buy a donkey cart, just buy it..."

Ji Xiaobei crossed his arms and sneered, "Have you figured it out? Are you still pretending to be stupid?"

"No, no, sister, I'm really obedient!" Shitou's voice trembled, but he did not forget to force out a smile that was uglier than crying.

"Okay, don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask in the future. If you see something that you shouldn't see, just pretend you didn't see it!" Seeing that he looked pitiful, Ji Xiaobei continued to scare him.

Because in a while, he will definitely ask her about everything she did and talk about it endlessly.

The tip of the stone looks like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Okay, let's go!" Seeing that he was obedient, Ji Xiaobei patted him on the back to comfort him.

Unexpectedly, Shitou fell to the ground with a thud, and his whole body seemed to be falling apart.

"Sister, please don't pawn me. I don't want to leave home. I will listen to you and mom from now on!" Shi Tou's face was covered with snot and tears.
