Chapter 37 Buying Makeup

After discussing with Zhang Zelin, Fang Qing and Zhang Zelin decided to buy a piece of cloth for her cousin's make-up. The two of them were driving an ox cart in the city when they suddenly heard someone calling her.

"Sister Fang..."

Fang Qing stopped the bullock cart and looked towards the source of the sound, and saw the horse dealer walking towards her.

"Ouch, big sister, long time no see!"

The horse dealer was out for a stroll, but he didn't expect to meet Fang Qing on the street.

"Sister Fang! I sold my cow to you, but I lost money."

Fang Qing "..." When she heard what the horse dealer said, she was also curious why the horse dealer didn't know that the bull's head was pregnant and sold it to her for 80 taels. "

The horse dealer told Fang Qing with a wry smile in his heart. "Sister Fang! I bought this cow from another prefecture. When I bought it, the owner told me that it was a good cow. I saw that the cow had a big bone. It was indeed a good cow, so I bought it." return."

"After I bought it, I put it in the cowshed and let the second sister take care of it. In the next two days, you came to sell the cow and you just chose it. After you sold the cow, people from the next village came to see the cow at my place. I I just heard someone say that you gave birth to a calf the night you brought the cow back."

Horse dealers are also depressed when they encounter this kind of situation!One must know that a cow with cubs can be sold for more than 100 taels. Fang Qing lost a lot of money by selling her 80 taels. What is even worse is that the person who sold the cow to her was not the original owner of the cow. , This cow has experienced several masters, who knows when it will have a cub.

Fang Qing looked at the black-faced horse dealer and she wanted to laugh out loud, but felt that laughing out loud would be disrespectful to him, so she held back her smile and said, "Eldest sister, don't feel bad, neither you nor I know the condition of this cow, so we just don't know what's going on with this cow." There will be such an oolong, today my sister has something to do and can't treat you to dinner, how about I give you a headhunter to compensate you another day?"

"Don't! Eldest sister, I don't mean that. This cow is transferred to your cub, which proves that it is destined for you. Eldest sister will chat with you a few words. Eldest sister has no other intentions."

The horse dealer is a believer. She usually pays attention to the cycle of cause and effect. She feels that Fang Qing is destined to be the owner of this cow, and the cub was born in her hands. She just can't help nagging her to make up for her. She really doesn't have this mean.

Seeing what she said, Fang Qing didn't force her. He chatted with her and said that next time he had time, he would treat her to dinner and drive an ox cart to sell cloth.

Zhang Zelin and his wife laughed out loud after they left: "My wife, it turns out that the horse dealer didn't know that cows had cubs, but now that she knows that our cow has given birth to a calf, she probably regrets it to death."

Fang Qing listened to her husband's words and laughed without saying a word. She understood from the horse dealer's words just now that the cow had changed several owners, and the calf didn't know which one it was in. The owner was conceived.

Zhang Zelin and his wife came to the cloth shop, he looked at the cloth on the shelf and asked, "Wife, which piece of cloth do you want to choose?"

"You choose! I don't know what kind of things to choose from my brother's house." Fang Qing saw her husband ask, she glanced at the cloth on the shelf and said.

Zhang Zelin listened to what the wife said, and felt that what the wife said was true. The wife was a woman, so how could he know what his brother's family needed.

"My wife, I've made my choice!" Zhang Zelin picked out a piece of blue cloth and said to Fang Qing.

"Choose it, just buy it!"

"My wife, two taels of silver, isn't it a bit expensive!" Zhang Zelin said anxiously, he was afraid that his wife would blame him for buying such expensive cloth for his cousin's make-up.

"I've chosen it for my cousin, then I'll buy it. We will follow the same ceremony when my cousins ​​get married in the future. It's up to you to make decisions about such matters. There's no need to ask me."

Fang Qing felt that sometimes her husband was too careful. He was her Fang Qing's husband, and he could use her money as he wanted, so there was no need to report everything to her.

Zhang Zelin bought this one after hearing what his wife told him, and after that, all his cousins ​​would follow the same ceremony when they got married, and went to the boss to pay the bill with a smile.

Seeing that he settled the bill, Fang Qing took him back to the village by car, and the husband and wife sat on a stool to eat snacks when they got home. Fang Qing saw Zhang Ren and Zhang Xi passing by their house with wheat on their backs. She remembered that the little husband said, Today, my aunt helped him drive to Daying Mountain and waited for her.

Seeing my aunt carrying Mai Mai like this, an idea popped up in her heart, and after she came up with this idea, she ran to the door and waited for Zhang Ren.

She didn't wait long at the door when she saw her aunt and second cousin rushing over.

Zhang Rencai brought his daughter back to carry the wheat back. After arriving home, he took a quick drink of water and took his daughter to carry the wheat back from the field again. The mother and son walked to the nephew's house and saw the nephew and daughter-in-law sitting leisurely by the door.

She lamented that it is good for this person to be capable, and if there is a field to hire out and wait for others to help collect the grain, people like them who have no ability can only work hard by themselves.

Even though he thought so, he still greeted his niece and daughter-in-law. "Young girl, what are you doing here!"

"Auntie, I'll wait for you here!"

"Wait for me! Is there something wrong?" Zhang Ren showed a puzzled expression when he heard his niece and daughter-in-law say to wait for her.

"Auntie like this, you and aunts have been busy harvesting grain during this period of time, and the cow in my family is also idle. If you don't mind driving the cow to herd these few days, wait until the wheat is harvested and let it go The cow will be pulled back for you."

Zhang Ren looked at Fang Qing incredulously, and his niece and daughter-in-law said to help her herd the cows, and when the wheat was ready, the cows would be brought back to them.

Zhang Ren thought about it in his heart and said: "Girl Qing, renting a cow in the village costs five cents a day. The cow works for half a day and rests for half a day. The person who rents the cow needs to provide the cow with food for the day. Auntie will rent it from you at the village price." how."

Fang Qing heard Zhang Ren's words, and said with a dark face: "Auntie, Brother Lin is my husband, and you are my husband's natal family. How can I accept this money? If I accept it from others, it means I have no conscience!"

"Auntie, I won't talk about too much. You and auntie will take turns using this cow during this period of time. Just feed the cow enough. Don't mention the money. Talking about money hurts feelings!"

Zhang Zelin was just wondering what the wife was doing sitting at the door, and when he heard the voices of the wife and his aunt, he ran out quickly. After he came out, he heard what the wife said.

He didn't expect that the wife-owner would lend the cattle to the aunts for use. The wife-owner valued his natal family so much, and he made him feel relieved and happy.

When Zhang Ren saw the serious face of his niece and daughter-in-law, she suddenly figured it out, yes!They are the young girl's heirs, if everything is measured by money, it really hurts feelings, alas!Since the niece and daughter-in-law said so, she will listen to the niece and daughter-in-law. If there is anything wrong with the niece and daughter-in-law in the future, she will do more to help her.

"Okay! Then my aunt will listen to you, and my aunt will drive the cows to pull the wheat."

Seeing Zhang Ren driving the ox cart to the field, Fang Qing returned to her home contentedly.

The next day, Zhang Meng came to her nephew's house to drive cattle to the fields. She came to her nephew's house and saw her nephew and his wife having breakfast.

"Auntie, you are here, come and have some breakfast!" Fang Qing said when she saw Zhang Meng came to their house, she put down the rice porridge in her hand.

"No... Last night your aunt came to tell me what you said yesterday. After discussing with your aunt, I decided to spend a day with the family. I'm here to drive cattle."

Fang Qing didn't know how the aunt and aunt negotiated, as long as the two aunts could help with cattle.

While his wife was talking with his aunt, Zhang Zelin went to the kitchen to add two sets of bowls and chopsticks. He scooped up a bowl of rice porridge and hugged the little one next to his aunt.
