On the wedding day, I was broken off, so I remarried his uncle

At this time, Song Xile had no idea that he had been regarded as a hot commodity by the villagers of Majia Village.

The three of them followed Old Man Ma to the sheep pen in the backyard.

I saw more than twenty sheep eating dried grass with their heads down. The sheep were quite plump and obviously were being taken good care of.

A closer look reveals that the inside of the sheep pen is also cleaned spotlessly, showing the owner's attentiveness to the sheep.

Song Xile was originally a little worried that the sheep might not grow strong enough due to lack of fodder. But now that she saw the sheep with her own eyes, she felt even more satisfied.

She smiled and said to Old Man Zhang, "My dear father, your sheep are well taken care of!"

Old man Zhang said complacently, "I may not be able to guarantee anything else, but I have more than ten years of experience in raising sheep. Madam, don't worry, my mutton is guaranteed to be fresh, tender and delicious."

After that, he sighed and said, "It's also because of the severe drought this year, and there's not enough fodder at home, otherwise I wouldn't be willing to sell this sheep now."

Song Xile glanced towards the pen. It was true that the sheep could be raised some more, but she wanted to make grilled lamb skewers, and a sheep of this size was just right, with juicy and tender meat that was not tough, perfect for the job.

She got straight to the point and asked, "Does the father-in-law have any other opinions? If not, let's weigh them."

Old man Zhang was of course more than happy to do so, so how could he have any objection? He asked Song Xile to wait for a moment, then turned around and told his grandson to go to his uncle's house to get the scale.

Upon hearing this, Zhuzi turned around and ran away, and soon brought back a long weighing pole.

Old man Zhang took the scale pole and immediately started catching sheep in the fence.

Perhaps it was because Old Man Zhang often fed them, so when Old Man Zhang approached the flock of sheep, the sheep just looked up and did not make any particular commotion.

The grandparents and grandchildren were busy weighing the sheep. In order to avoid confusion, the sheep that were overweight would be put into the pen one by one.

About a quarter of an hour later, when all the sheep had been weighed and their weights were confirmed, Song Xile took out the deeds he had prepared long ago and filled in the numbers in the blank spaces.

After Song Xile filled out the deed, he read it again in front of the grandfather and grandson, "Father, please see if there are any other problems. If there are no problems, then I will pay you a deposit of five taels of silver first."

"I will pay you the rest of the money after you deliver the goods to my door every day."

Old man Zhang took the deed with a flushed face. He tried hard to open his cloudy eyes wide, wanting to understand the contents, but he didn't recognize a single word.

Song Xile saw the other party's concerns and took the initiative to suggest, "Father-in-law, maybe you can go find a villager who knows how to read it. With so many livestock involved, it's always better to be cautious."

Seeing that the other party was so sensible, Old Man Zhang hurriedly bowed and thanked him. He asked his grandson to lead them back to the yard to sit down and rest.

He took the deed and ran to the village chief's house. These sheep involved the life and property of him and his grandson, so it would be a good idea for him to be cautious.

Zhuzi led Song Xile and others from the backyard to the front yard. As soon as they got to the front, the villagers who had been waiting outside the door could no longer hold back.

Everyone pushed and shoved to the door, and smiled and asked Song Xile and others in the courtyard: "Dear guests, I wonder if you would like to buy some chickens. The chickens raised in my family are the fattest."

"And my duck, sir, look at my duck. This duck is the most delicious when stewed in soup. It's very fresh."

"And me, and me. Please take a look at my rabbit. I caught it in the mountains. There is a severe drought everywhere now, so it is not easy to catch game."

"Your rabbit doesn't have much meat. What's so delicious about it? You should take a look at my chicken."

"What do you know? Chickens are sold everywhere, but hares are hard to come by."

"..."

Everyone started arguing with one purpose only: to promote their poultry to Song Xile.

Song An and Chang An stared in amazement at the gate that was surrounded by people. They had not expected the villagers to be so enthusiastic.

What the few people didn't notice was that when Song Xile saw these poultry, a smile appeared in her eyes.

This is really like someone handing you a pillow when you feel sleepy. Isn't this a chance to earn points?

She didn't need to ask, Ali's reminder already rang in her mind.

Song Xile smiled and asked, "How are these livestock sold?"

When the villagers saw that she really wanted to buy, they became more active in selling to her.

When Old Man Zhang came back with a smile on his face, he saw Song Xile surrounded by the women in the village. Song An, who wanted to rescue the man, was also dragged down by the villagers.

Old man Zhang was startled and quickly stepped forward to push the people away. "What are you doing? Disperse, disperse quickly."

Song Xile was successfully rescued by Old Man Zhang and escaped from the encirclement of the women.

She straightened the clothes that were wrinkled by her aunts, and then she said, "There are not many people in my family. I definitely can't buy all the things you brought."

"How about this, I'll buy five chickens, five ducks, and the cage of rabbits, too. You can discuss how many rabbits each family should contribute."

The villagers looked at each other and realized that this was the best result they could get. After weighing the pros and cons, they took out the poultry they wanted to sell.

Song Xile asked Old Man Zhang to help weigh the livestock and then settle the accounts with the villagers according to the usual market price.

The villagers happily accepted the money. Seeing Song Xile being so generous, one villager asked, "Madam, are you really not going to buy more?"

Seeing the eager looks in the villagers' eyes, Song Xile couldn't bear to refuse them outright, so she suggested, "Aunt, if you want to sell the poultry, maybe you can take them to the city. There are many people in the city and the demand is high, so maybe they can be sold."

The woman waved her hands, "It's not as good as before. Now no one is willing to eat it. I'm afraid it would be a waste of effort if we go."

"Auntie, you may not have heard that the city will hold a dragon boat race soon. There will definitely be people coming to join in the fun. By then, the business of restaurants and food shops may pick up, and these poultry should have no problem selling."

People in the village usually don't go to the provincial capital unless there is something important, so they are not very clear about what happened in the provincial capital yesterday.

When some people heard Song Xile say this, they didn't take it seriously, but some people became active and planned to take the chicken to the provincial capital tomorrow.

After the villagers left, Old Man Ma handed the deed to Song Xile and said with a smile, "Just follow the deed. I will deliver the sheep to Madam the day after tomorrow morning."

Song Xile nodded, took out the ink pad he had prepared in advance, and both parties put their fingerprints on the deed, and the deal was done.

Song Xile put the deed away and took out a silver ingot from his purse and handed it to the other party.

Old Man Ma took the heavy silver and smiled so hard that his teeth were showing.

After finishing his work, Song Xile was about to leave.

Seeing several people carrying poultry, Old Man Ma was worried that they had no place to put them, so he very considerately found a bamboo basket and put the chickens and ducks on the ground in it, "This way, it won't dirty the carriage."

Song Xile thanked him with a smile before saying goodbye and leaving.
