Song Ran and Song Li hurried to the city gate, and suddenly Song Li exclaimed: "Sister, our basket!"

I actually forgot to take the basket that I left with Boss Jia!

The two of them hurried back to get the basket, but when they arrived at the city gate, the ox cart had gone far away and disappeared from their sight.

Song Ran sighed helplessly, "Oh, I have no choice but to walk back."

At this time, the sun was shining fiercely on the earth, and the road was steaming hot. Song Ran folded two straw hats and put them on the two of them.

After walking for a while, Song Li saw her sister sweating profusely and thought: We can only ride in the ox cart when there is a market, and we usually have to walk. If only our family had a car, then my sister wouldn't have to work so hard.

Horses are too fierce and cows are too greedy. After much consideration, I think donkeys are the most suitable.

The image of the donkey in the village came to her mind. She thought the donkey cart was practical and convenient, and faster than the ox cart. So she asked curiously, "Sister, how much does a donkey cost?"

If you buy a donkey, it will be much easier to go home. If you find someone to help you pull goods or carry people, you can easily get the three cents you need to go to the city.

Song Ran thought for a moment and said, "I think it's about four or five hundred yuan. I haven't asked in detail." She then sighed, "When I was a child, beef was only 30 cents, but now it's almost 40 cents. I guess the price of donkeys has also increased."

After listening to her sister's words, Song Li silently calculated in her mind and guessed, "Then it's at most six taels? Seven taels?"

"more or less."

Song Li's eyes lit up, "Sister, let's raise one!"

"Oh, where did we get this money?"

Song Li had never looked through her sister's money jar, so she thought her family was very rich. After all, her house was covered with tiles, while more than half of the houses in the village had thatched roofs.

After thinking for a while, he said, "I'll still be taking such expensive medicine. It will cost me seven taels of silver. Sister, use it to buy a donkey."

Song Ran rubbed Song Li's head and said gently, "Talking nonsense is not as important as seeing a doctor. You need to take the medicine to cure your illness and be a healthy girl in the future."

"Okay." Song Li knew that she couldn't beat her sister.

The two continued walking. Song Ran saw that her little sister had suddenly fallen silent. She wondered if the child was tired, so she asked, "Are you tired, Xiaoguai? If you are tired, I will carry you."

Song Li shook her head: "No, I'm not tired." She was just thinking that when she took the medicine at night, she would have to study carefully what plants it was made of.

After walking for a while, Song Li couldn't help asking her sister about buying a donkey: "Sister, should we buy a donkey in the future?"

Song Ran smiled and nodded, "Sure, we can carry food by then. When the corn in the field is old, we won't have to grind the corn flour by hand anymore."

"And wheat. Our family will take back the land and plant a lot of wheat." Song Li still remembers that the family's land was still being planted by others.

"Ranran, wait a moment." The voice came from behind the two of them. Song Ran and Song Li turned around and saw Su Xiaoxiao's cheeks were red.

"Oh, I saw you from a distance and thought I was seeing things." Su Xiaoxiao panted.

Seeing this, Song Ran quickly fanned Su Xiaoxiao with his hands and asked with concern: "Slow down, aren't you afraid of dropping the bowl or pot when running so fast?"

Su Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, "Uh... I've fixed it, no problem." In fact, she put them all into the space in order to walk more easily.

"Sister Xiaoxiao, are you thirsty? Do you need a drink of water?" Song Li asked.

Su Xiaoxiao said with a smile: "Oh, the little guy is quite caring today." As she said that, she was about to put down the backpack, but suddenly stopped.

"Hahaha, I'm not thirsty."

Song Li, who originally wanted to ask for some saliva to drink, looked at Su Xiaoxiao's expression and then at her sister, and she instantly understood something.

She has little secrets, too.

"Why are you walking back?"

Song Ran sighed and said, "We went to the government office, and the guard said that the court session would only be held once a month. I was so focused on the court session that I forgot to go to Boss Jia to get the basket. We only remembered it when we got to the city gate."

Su Xiaoxiao frowned and said, "Yes! The new county magistrate has taken office. Did he say when the court will open?"

Song Ran shook his head and said, "They said they would take care of the tax collection first, and deal with the big case in the meantime. If we were there, would they bring us back for trial?"

Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said, "That shouldn't be the case. I'm kneeling down there, and you're watching from outside. We're very far apart."

"How's the little guy's illness?"

"I prescribed the medicine pill, and the doctor said it cured the disease."

"What's wrong?" Su Xiaoxiao asked with concern.

“It is said to be a disease of deficiency”

After listening to this, Su Xiaoxiao felt that this so-called miracle doctor was just talking nonsense. There was no specific disease that he could not cure.

"How are your sales going?"

"Hahahahaha, I bought them all. I also bought half a pound of brown sugar on the way. I'll upgrade the recipe next time. It's too hot today. I'm tired and hot from walking. It would be great if I had a car."

Song Ran listened and said with a smile: "Haha, Xiaoguai just had the same idea as you, thinking of buying a donkey in the future."

Su Xiaoxiao asked curiously: "Sure, how much is a donkey?"

"Well, about five or six taels of silver."

"What! You want five or six taels of silver! I was only sold for two taels of silver!"

With someone talking, the journey didn't seem so long.

The three of them walked into the village. It was usually quiet at this time of the day, but today it was unusually lively.

Li Manpeng and her mother took Li Kun's ox cart back to the village. The old lady decided to go all the way and took them directly to the gate of Li Peishan.

Li Manpeng lay straight on the ground with his lower body covered by a piece of cloth.

"Everyone in this family is a murderer!"

The old lady yelled, "Someone come! They hurt people and don't want to pay compensation. I can't live like this anymore!"

But no matter how the old lady cried, the door of Li Peishan's house was closed and no one could hear her.

"You won't come out, right?! When you die, I'll bury you outside your door. Never come out again in your life!"

Block the door with a grave!

Everyone had fun watching it.

Seeing that Li Peishan's family had not come out, the old lady sat down in the shade at the foot of the wall, muttering, "Li Peishan, if you have the guts, don't come out for the rest of your life!"

She looked up and saw a group of people gathered under the big tree opposite to watch the fun, so she got angry: "You people who watch the fun, don't think that good things will always happen to you. One day, bad luck will happen to you!"

"Auntie Xu, do you want to get something to cover your son? You are hiding in the shade, but your son can't even open his eyes because of the sun."

"Hahahaha." Everyone couldn't help but laugh after hearing this.

After hearing this, the old lady pulled Li Manpeng and dragged him to the corner. She stared at the crowd angrily and suddenly saw her grandchildren.

"Sanbao, come here! Knock on the door!"

Li Baole said: "My mother just asked me to knock on the door and said that the weather was too hot in the afternoon and asked me to hide away."

"The one lying here is your father! You little bastard, you are not filial to your father, it's all your mother's fault."

Although Li Baole was young, he was not a fool. Besides, his brother had told him that only by following his mother could he have meat to eat.

"Son, if you go, I will accompany you! In this world, I have no one left to worry about."

The old lady scolded Li Peishan and Wu Yinhong. Suddenly, she saw Su Xiaoxiao and stood up suddenly.

"It's you, little girl! You're the only one who talks too much, otherwise the sentence would have been handed down long ago. Would it be necessary for an old woman like me to knock on the door in person?"
