Rebirth of an Old Farmer: Escape from Famine with Children and Grandchildren

When Zaha heard this, his face lit up with joy: "Okay, I'll wait for you here!"

Sun Wan left in a hurry and turned into an empty alley. After making sure that there was no one around, she took out the rabbit skin and wolf skin from the space.

She counted them and found that there were about eighty rabbit skins and slightly fewer wolf skins, but still about thirteen.

These things are not light to carry on her back. Fortunately, she has endured hardships and hardship throughout her life and is able to carry them.

Zaha looked at Sun Wan coming towards him, and was so frightened that he couldn't speak clearly. He quickly stepped forward to catch the leather and looked at Sun Wan in shock: "Sister-in-law, you are really strong!"

Sun Wan smiled and said, "Hey, back home I work in the fields every day to support my family. If I didn't have some strength, my family would have starved to death!"

Zaha gave a thumbs up, full of admiration: "You are awesome!"

He carefully examined the fur and was surprised to find that it was quite intact.

"It's just that the processing is not very good. The leather smell is a bit strong." Zaha sniffed it, thought for a while and said, "Sister-in-law, how about this, I'll give you 32 coins for each one, how about that?"

"Your leather is well preserved, but the handling is unprofessional. I'll have to process it myself after I take it back."

Sun Wan thought for a moment and said, "Okay, it seems you are a kind-hearted person."

"We've made a deal!"

Zaha's green eyes smiled into crescents: "Thirty-two coins each, eighty in total. I'll give you two hundred coins, plus sixty coins."

Sun Wan hurriedly said, "Just give me some silver instead. It's inconvenient for a woman like me to carry so much money."

Zaha agreed with great consideration. He looked at the wolf skins again, his brows furrowed even tighter.

"These wolf skins aren't in great condition, and they're badly damaged. It seems you were in a rush to catch the wolves, and you were at a loss as to what to do."

"The processing method is also not good. For all these, I can only give you a total of 25 coins, and this is because you sold so much to me."

After hearing this, Sun Wan thought it was reasonable and agreed readily.

Zaha lowered his head and began to calculate again: "So, the total is... two taels of silver, plus 886 coins!"

He tied the animal skin with a rope and put it away, then carefully counted the money and handed it to Sun Wan.

Sun Wan put the money directly into her bag and felt very relieved.

She looked at Zaha with gratitude: "Zhaha, how long will you stay here?"

Zaha thought for a moment and said, "There's still about half a month left. Do you have any other furs?"

"Yes! But it will take a few days before I can get it to you."

Zaha nodded happily: "Okay, then I'll wait for you here!"

The two agreed on the time for the next transaction. Sun Wan was about to leave, but after taking a few steps, she heard a commotion in front of her.

"Catch that stinky girl!"

Sun Wan looked up when she heard the voice and saw a familiar figure running towards her in panic.

Her expression changed: "Miss Ye!"

Lin Xiangxiang, who was running around in the crowd like a lost deer, suddenly heard a familiar voice. She turned around hastily and ran towards Sun Wan.

Sun Wan quickly reached out and pulled her into her arms, while the group of people chasing Lin Xiangxiang came up to them panting and with ferocious faces.

The visitors were several strong men in short coats and dark blue cloth hats of the same style. They looked like servants of some family.

When these people saw Sun Wan, they immediately became furious: "Are you the mother of this silly girl!?"

When Lin Xiangxiang heard the word "fool", she was so scared that she hid in Sun Wan's arms, and Sun Wan couldn't help but frown.

"Heroes, I'm her aunt. I wonder how this little girl has offended you?"

"As you can see, this child has some health issues. If I have been disrespectful, please forgive me."

"Stop talking nonsense!" The leading burly man interrupted Sun Wan, a fierce look flashed across his face, and he pointed at Lin Xiangxiang.

"You knew she was a fool, but you let her run around. Did you know she just smashed the fine wine our master just bought?"

"That was our Zuixianlou's finest wine, the daughter's red wine, stored in the cellar for twenty years! And this girl ruined it with just one disagreement!"

When Sun Wan heard the name of Zuixianlou, her face turned pale.

Just now she heard from Zaha about the background of Zuixianlou. People who come in and out of there are either rich or noble. Miss Ye is really in big trouble this time!

When Sun Wan heard that Lin Xiangxiang had broken a jar of precious old wine, her heart sank even more.

She was puzzled. Wasn't Lin Xiangxiang with Madam Chi and the others? Why did she come to Zuixianlou alone?

But it was inconvenient to ask further questions at this time, so he could only smile and say, "Brothers, after all, you have seen that this child's situation is special. I have to find out what's going on first, right?"

"If she really did something wrong, we will compensate her for the wine's value," Sun Wan said sincerely.

The big man sneered and asked bluntly, "Compensation? Can you afford it?"

He glanced at Sun Wan and Lin Xiangxiang's clothes, his eyes full of contempt and disdain, "Our master's wine is worth a thousand gold coins per pot! You two can't even compensate for it if you sell it!"

Sun Wan pursed her lips, turned to Lin Xiangxiang, and whispered comfortingly: "Miss Ye, tell me what's going on?"

Lin Xiangxiang looked at Sun Wan in horror, and after a while she shook her head violently: "I really didn't mean it! That wine... is poisonous!"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar all around.

Sun Wan also opened her eyes wide in surprise and looked at the big man. The big man was stunned for a moment, then he flew into a rage: "Nonsense!"

"You little girl, you can't afford to pay so you make up a story?!"

"Stop nagging me. I bet you can't afford the money. Come with me, admit your mistakes to my master, and wait for his decision!"

Before he even finished his words, he strode forward and pounced on the two of them like a hungry hawk hunting its prey.

Sun Wan pulled Lin Xiangxiang up and hurriedly retreated, but the two weak women were no match for these big men. Their hands were soon grabbed and tied behind their backs.

Sun Wan was extremely anxious. She turned to the equally terrified Zaha and shouted, "Even if the child is at fault, it's excusable!"

"You guys are forcibly robbing people like this, are you going to set up a private court?!"

"Where is the law in this bright and clear world?!"

"The law? How dare you mention the law! It was clearly this girl who ruined our master's wine first!"

"Even if she was wrong, she should have reported it to the county government and let the magistrate make a fair judgment. How could you arrest someone on the street like you did?"

"We are not fighting alone. My companions are not far away. If you have the guts, let's go to court and see who will win!"

The big man didn't expect Sun Wan to be so eloquent. He waved his hand and his men immediately stuffed a piece of cloth into Sun Wan's mouth.

Sun Wan sobbed, unable to resist, and was taken away by the group.

This scene came and went quickly, and the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed.

Zaha secretly made up his mind in the crowd, entrusted the leather in his hand to the neighboring villagers, and then according to Sun Wan's previous hints, he quickly found Mrs. Chi and her group.

Mrs. Chi was busy weighing and counting the bills, while the others were also sweating profusely. In the afternoon, the number of customers gradually increased, and they were very busy.
