The first step to a rich country is to get rich first and then get richer

"I'm sorry, I didn't notice you guys just now. Are you guys here to buy horses? Take a look. Our horses are very good. Although they are a little thin, they are all good horses."

The man spoke anxiously, but his voice was very weak.

Even though the few people didn't want to meddle in other people's business at the moment and just wanted to buy the horse they liked, they couldn't help but ask when they saw the man like this.

"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

The man forced a flattering smile and shook his head.

"Dear guests, I'm fine. Please look after the horses."

Before the man could finish his words, someone interrupted him.

"Guests, come here, come here, come and look at my horse. His horse is skinny and has never had enough to eat.

Look at my horse, it's a whole lot bigger than his, and a lot stronger."

Several people turned to look at the person who was speaking, and saw that it was the owner of another stable diagonally opposite.

The man frowned in dissatisfaction and tried to straighten his body, wanting to argue with the other party, but he was really unable to do so and couldn't even speak loudly.

"Chen Er, why do you always block my business? I just need to sell a horse. If I sell a horse, I can feed my child."

Chen Er rolled his eyes and didn't care about what he said.

"You can feed your child just by selling a horse? Don't be ridiculous. Look at how hungry your horse is. Your mother, father, wife, eldest son, and eldest daughter all starved to death. I thought selling a horse would improve your life, but look at your son. He won't last much longer. He's lying in bed and can't get out. He seems to be breathing more than breathing in."

The man was very angry. He took a deep breath and wanted to rush up to beat up Chen Er, but before he could take two steps, he was stopped by Lan Ning.

Lan Ning looked at Chen Er opposite him.

"Uncle, from what you just said, the whole family starved to death?"

The one who asked this question was a little girl.

Chen Er didn't want to answer at first, but after thinking about it, she patiently answered her question. After all, this was her small client, and maybe she would buy a good horse from him later.

He nodded and glanced at the man with disdain.

"That's right. I don't know where they came from, but they built a shed opposite and tied up two horses there. The whole family moved in and lived here, waiting for the money from selling the horses to buy food.

But look at the quality of their horses, no one came to buy them. As a result, they had no money to exchange for food, so everyone in their family starved to death.

Hahahaha, it's karma, who told him to come here to steal our business, but he didn't get any, and instead he starved his own people until only the two of them were left."

The man did not refute this time. First, what he said was indeed true. Second, he really did not have the energy to refute. He really had not sold a single horse in such a long time.

Lan Ning listened to Chen Er's words and her eyes rolled. Isn't this the first target of her mission?

"How much do you sell your horse for?"

Hearing Lan Ning's question, Chen Er answered subconsciously, thinking that she was asking him, and gave the man a provocative look.

"My dear guests, my horse is a good one..."

"Shut up. I didn't ask you."

Lan Ning faced the man and asked again.

"How much do you sell your horse for?"

The man couldn't believe that these customers really wanted to buy his horse. Without any hesitation, he named a price.

"40 taels, 40 taels a horse. If you buy two horses together, I have made a carriage myself, and I can give it to you for free."

Lan Ning didn't know the price, so he turned to look at Xiao Wu, only to see Xiao Wu looking at the two horses in the stable with a look of surprise.

What does this mean? Too expensive? Lan Ning didn't know, and didn't dare to answer. She just waited for Xiao Wu to help her bargain for a suitable price.

Although Xiaowu was surprised, he didn't stay surprised for too long. After all, he was the shopkeeper now and he couldn't lose face.

The people who were waiting for him to bargain for a good price did not hear the expected answer.

He nodded and turned to ask Grandma Lan.

"How many horses do you want?"

After hearing this, Lan Ning had nothing to understand. It seemed that this price was really a good deal. Xiao Wu didn't even bother to bargain and immediately asked them how many horses they wanted.

Since the price is good, I will definitely buy both. Lan Ning pulled her grandmother's sleeve. Grandma Lan bent down and asked her granddaughter what was the matter.

"Grandma, let's buy two horses, and they'll give us an extra carriage. From what Xiaowu said, the price must be a good deal. You should buy them together."

Grandma Lan was a little hesitant. It would cost 80 taels of silver to buy two horses, and their family could only use one. Wouldn't it be a waste to buy another one?

Seeing grandma hesitate, Lan Ning shook Grandma Lan's hand again.

"Grandma, grandma, buy it, buy it, just consider it as helping him."

Grandma Lan heard Lan Ning's last words. Yes, they had all lived hard lives, and she knew how difficult it was to live a bad life.

Just think of it as helping him, 40 taels of silver, their family doesn't need it.

Grandma Lan nodded.

"Then buy two horses."

Lan Ning jumped twice with joy.

"Thank you grandma, you are so kind."

Hearing that they could buy two horses meant that all the horses were theirs.

Bai Tian and Meng Anran both walked forward and looked at the skinny horse with curiosity.

It is a little thin, but since Xiaowu said it is a good horse, they believe it is a good horse. They still have to have basic trust in people.

This was considered helping the man's family, as his children should not have starved to death. It was a pity that they came too late, and his family all starved to death.

Lan Ning felt a little guilty and shook his head as soon as the thought came to his mind.

How could they blame themselves for this? Their family wasn't well off before. This was all destined, and they couldn't change what God had arranged.

After giving the silver to the man, he hurried to get the carriage to install for them.

Lanning held him back.

"Go buy some food for your child first. It's okay for us to wait a little longer."

The man was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect the little guest to say that, but he didn't hesitate. He didn't care to hesitate and staggered out in a hurry.

Seeing the man running away, Chen Er, who had been silent since being scolded by Lan Ning, spoke again.

“Humph, you are really careless. You didn’t buy the good horses from me, but bought those two half-dead horses. You even gave him the money to buy food.

I mean, his kids are almost starving to death, all his family members are dead, maybe he has already run away with the money."

Lan Ning and the others turned around and glared at Chen Er.
