Chapter 201: Trouble on Board

Liu Yingcai had originally been determined to take the bamboo raft, but after hearing their repeated dissuasions, he gradually wavered. Finally, after Liu Xiaoxiao's strong lobbying, he and his wife chose to take the boat.

It’s fine as long as you pay. You just need to take your people and belongings aboard, and the boatman will automatically set sail when the time comes.

But the villagers who are preparing to board the bamboo raft are not so worry-free. The first thing they have to face is the livestock problem.

At the beginning, they deliberately made the bamboo raft larger in order to bring the cattle and horses along.

But when it was time to force them onto the bamboo raft, they refused to get on, which made their owner very anxious.

"Brother Niu, I beg you, can you please go up quickly? If you don't go up, I won't want you anymore!" A young man pleaded with his cow.

A fellow who was loading things onto the raft nearby joked, "Binzi, I think your cow isn't very obedient! Is that it? If you force it to get on board and it jumps into the river halfway, wouldn't that be a shame?"

Another tall man, hearing what he said, also interrupted and said, "I think you should have done what I did and killed it on the way. That way, you wouldn't be as skinny as you are now."

The young man named Binzi, who had initially teased him, disagreed when he heard what he said and retorted, "Liu Qiangdong, I don't quite agree with what you said. Although you slaughtered your mule on the way, my brother Binzi's cow is different from your mule. He treats it like a family member. He doesn't like what you are saying now."

The man called Qiangzi Buxiao said, "So what if he treats it like a human? It's just that he's reluctant to take it on a boat ride. If he has the guts, he could just let his cow learn from the others' horses and ride on a big boat!"

When Liu Bin heard the two of them joking, he had no intention of paying any attention to them, but after driving away "Brother Niu" several times, he suddenly felt that what Liu Qiangdong said might actually be feasible.

So while the other party was still arguing, he took his "Brother Niu" to the pier to board the boat.

"Is he really planning to take his cows on a big ship?" Liu Qiangdong asked in surprise the person who had just argued with him.

The other person replied, "Isn't that exactly what you just proposed? What? Now that you see others actually going, you're unhappy again."

Liu Qiangdong argued: "Who is unhappy? If his cow really doesn't want to get on our bamboo raft, our bamboo raft is more spacious! How can I be unhappy?"

Seeing how eloquent he was, the other party didn't want to waste any more words with him and said, "As long as you are happy." Then he continued to move his things.

On the big ship, Liu Bin originally planned to bring his own cattle on board, but when he heard that the cattle would also be counted as a person, he hesitated.

"Why do animals have to be counted for money?"

The boatman replied, "Because animals are just as heavy as humans, and my boat isn't a cargo ship. If you want to be a cargo ship, you can go to another one. But they specialize in hauling cargo, and the fare is paid by the weight."

Liu Bin knew that if he paid by the kilogram, he would probably have to pay more, so he negotiated with the boatman, hoping that the other party would be flexible and charge him half the price for the cattle.

But the other party was bound to disagree since he knew that they would rather make their own bamboo raft than take his boat.

Just when neither side was willing to give in, Liu Yingcai came out of the hold. After hearing the whole story, he took the initiative to step forward and said, "Brother, this man actually came here with us to escape the famine. I've heard roughly what you just said. What do you think of this? He'll give you a head fee, but he won't go on board himself. Only the cow will be allowed on board. And you, Xiaobin! If you trust me, leave your cow to me. I'll help you watch it, and when we get there, you can come back and take it to me."

Liu Bin naturally agreed to his proposal, but the boatman disagreed! In the end, the two of them cried bitterly again, and the other party reluctantly agreed.
