YM778.TV Chapter 247 - 247 Buy a Cow
After a pause, Xue Sifu continued, “And Chen Laoba’s brothers have emptied their entire family’s fortune for him. Everyone in the surrounding villages knows that the eight brothers have long been at odds with each other. It’s just that their parents are still alive and they haven’t fallen out with each other. This must have been their parents’ decision. Their parents are getting old, and it’s hard to say if they can live past this year. When their parents die, let’s see if Chen Laoba’s brothers will still talk to him! Chen Laoba will definitely be isolated from the village. No one would want to deal with such a person. Who would want to bear such a life? Especially Chen Zhuzi.” Xue Sifu emphasized and laughed even more. “With his behavior? Just wait and see, no matter who his father is, he will not have a good life because of his own actions.”
Xue Wufu immediately became happy. “Sifu, I feel much better now that you said that. I thought he was let off too easily. Now that I think about it, we should just let them live their life however they want. It’ll turn out bad either way!”
“Alright, alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. Let’s work in the fields. Didn’t we agree to continue exploring new lands? We should go through everything soon.” Xue Dafu said.
“How about buying a cow?” Jiang Yue said.
She could start a wasteland, but she didn’t want her family to have to work like a cow again.
It was too tiring. They were about to have more land with the same amount of labor.
“Jiang Yue is the most sensible one here.” Xue Dafu was overjoyed.
Liu Guixia and the others were also very happy.
“Let’s think about this cow thing. It’s worth a little silver, after all.” Xue Dafu said as if he was coaxing a child. Even if the family didn’t lack money, they couldn’t just spend it like water. What if they used it up?
“It’s better to buy one.” Xue Yan said. “Not only will this cow plow for the family, but it can also be lent to others to use like Tian’s family, and earn us some money. Then, we’ll ask Yifu to help us make an ox cart, so that when we go to town, we won’t have to take other people’s ox carts anymore. We have one at home, and it’ll be much more convenient to move around.”
“Father, just agree. Jiang Yue and Xiao Ling have already spoken. If you don’t agree, they’ll definitely think of other ways to make you agree.” Xue Sifu smiled.
Xue Erfu also laughed, “Yifu has already made so many things. The water workshop is about to finish soon. When it’s done, it can also earn money for the family. Sifu also makes a lot of money by selling malt candy, right? Don’t we work every day to earn money? Father, why don’t you buy one? It’s not a bad idea at all. We’ll have more time on our hands too.”
“Alright, alright, alright. I’ll buy it.” Xue Dafu didn’t fight back and happily agreed. “Tomorrow, you, Sifu, and Wufu will go to town to buy them.”
“It just so happens that I want to go to town tomorrow to see what kind of small business I can open.” Xue Sifu smiled.
Liu Guixia smiled. “Why don’t you buy a piglet too? Our pig pen is empty. You can buy a piglet weighing twelve to eighteen kilograms for a few hundred coins.”
“Okay, okay, I’ll buy everything.” Xue Dafu was overjoyed. He had also thought it through. They were all hardworking people and had a lot of family members. At most, they could earn more in the future.
