LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 15 Wen Li was forced to remarry
"You know, these cows are also valuable. There are many families in our village who have cows, but recently we are the only ones who have calves, so the price is not cheap."
Song Tingran was surprised. Many families in Changxing Village had cattle. No wonder it was always rated as an outstanding village and developed well.
"I really want to buy it, please give me a price."
"A calf costs three taels of silver. This half-year-old calf usually eats well and is growing strong. It costs six taels of silver."
This price is similar to the price that Song Tingran inquired about before. Because the cows are bought to work, they can't be dealt with by feeding them some wild vegetables. People say that buying a cow is nothing, but raising it is still a real skill, and , you may also face illness along the way, and if you die along the way, it will be a huge loss.
This is also the reason why, although there are many families with cows in Changxing Village, they cannot make a living by selling cows. They all have a cow to work with, and then rent it out to help other people work to supplement the family income.
"Is this half-year-old cow a cow?"
"Yes, it's a cow. It's very energetic. Bulls can breed."
"Then I want this half-year-old one and a calf. I want a male one. Can it be cheaper?"
The owner of the cattle seller was shocked. It was difficult to sell cattle in Changxing Village, especially bulls. They were not as efficient as cows. It would be troublesome to sell them in the town.
"If you want it sincerely, just give me a total of eight and a half, which will be considered as a subsidy for travel expenses."
Song Tingran agreed that he could save half a tael, so he paid the deposit first, said he would come to collect it later, and asked the host to prepare some fodder for the cattle road, and then left.
She followed the road directly, followed her impression, and walked to the spot where the ox cart was yesterday. She heard the sound of lambs in the distance, walked three steps at a time, then knocked on the door.
It happened to be Lu Yan who was driving the bullock cart yesterday. She frowned and said, "You came early. Fortunately, I went home to drink some water. Otherwise, you would have run out. Come in."
As soon as Song Tingran entered the courtyard, she saw three children playing quietly in the courtyard. When she saw someone coming, the older one immediately said hello: "Hello, aunt."
The other two little ones, no more than three or four years old, also said, "Hello, aunt."
"Hi everybody."
Lu Yan was very happy with the children's performance, smiled, and took Song Tingran to the sheep pen, saying, "The lambs that were just born some time ago are very healthy."
Song Tingran was satisfied with the lamb. After he returned home, he would be able to drink goat's milk when he grew up, which was also a good time for him to replenish his health, so he asked, "How did you sell it?"
Lu Yan looked at her and hesitated, and said: "Raising sheep generally means drinking goat milk, which is nutritious. Killing those who eat meat is still a very small minority. However, you sold your husband to buy sheep and went home." Can I really drink it from now on?"
"Huh? What are you talking about?"
Lu Yan was a famous fast-talking person in Changxing Village. When she saw that Song Tingran really didn't know, she told her the matter.
"Mrs. Lu's wife, I want the little lamb. You can keep it for me. I'll go rescue people first. Thank you."
Lu Yan was a little worried. The old guy from the Wen family had always been jealous of money. Although she and Song Tingran were acquainted, she didn't want to see the tragedy happen, so she followed him.
There was wind at Song Tingran's feet. She shouldn't have believed that Mother-in-law Wen would compromise so easily. Lu Yan caught up behind her and showed her the way.
Before I even entered the door, I heard heartbreaking cries inside: "Mom, please, please don't sell your brother."
This was Wen Ci's voice. Seeing that the door was closed, Song Tingran kicked the wooden door open. The sound was so loud that everyone inside was stunned.
"Hey, husband-in-law Song is here. Wen Ci, you can follow him. You have nothing to do here."
Song Tingran stepped forward angrily, first dragged Wen Ci behind him, and then went to untie Wen Li. His hands and feet were tied, and rags were stuffed in his mouth.
"Hey, husband-in-law Song, what are you doing? I have already married Wen Li off and I have collected all the gifts."
Mother-in-law Wen pressed Wen Li firmly. Next to her was an old man who was over fifty years old. He seemed to be in poor health. He must be the one Lu Yan said was getting married.
"Today is a happy day for me. I don't allow outsiders to mess around. Get out quickly!" the old man said, tapping his cane.
"Did you know that Wen Li had married into our Song family a year ago, and the entire Daniu Village knew about it. The Wen family also collected the things, and they are still keeping them in the Wen family. You guys belong to Lianqi It is against the law to snatch someone else’s husband by force!”
As soon as these words came out, the half-hundred-year-old man became a little scared and directly asked Wen's mother-in-law, "Is this true? Didn't you say that Wen Li just stayed at a relative's house for more than a year?"
"It was Wen Li who was naughty and insisted on being with his brother, so he went to the Song family. He had no plans to go to the Song family at all, and the government couldn't find it. Can't this be counted?"
Mother-in-law Wen looked at Song Tingran arrogantly, with sarcasm on her lips. She deliberately got up early just to discuss the matter. Who wouldn't want to give another gift? She couldn't suffer a loss.
Wen Li's face had long been covered with tears, and his beautiful cotton clothes were wrinkled and covered in dust. He put his last hope on Song Tingran, with the last light in his eyes.
Song Tingran laughed, making everyone's hair grow cold.
"This is very interesting. I heard that your Changxing Village, which is an outstanding village this year, actually made such a mandatory polygamy. Then please ask the village chief of your village to comment. I will discuss this matter again. Let’s publicize the matter well.”
Lu Yan quietly withdrew from the crowd watching the excitement at the door, and hurried to the village chief's house. She always hoped that her husband could have his own choice and dignity, and was not an object for sale. .
During the dispute, the village chief of Changxing Village came. She was not far from half a hundred elderly people. Lu Yan did not show up again, but went home directly. The village chief also promised her that he came after hearing the news and no one complained. .
"Cough cough."
As soon as the chief of Changxing Village appeared, there was an instant silence. Half a hundred old people complained directly, and Wen's mother-in-law also added fuel to the fire. Song Tingran and others finished their quarrel and then explained the matter again slowly and calmly.
Seeing that the two sides had different opinions, the village chief of Changxing Village also took into account the face of the village and focused his attention on Wen Li himself.
"Let him go quickly."
Mother-in-law Wen blinked her eyes. Forced by the authority of the village chief, she had no choice but to let him go. She also whispered something in Wen Li's ear.
"Wen Li, don't be afraid, tell me what's going on."
Wen Li was crying so much that he couldn't hear clearly what he was saying. Wen Ci rushed forward and said, "Brother, please wait a minute. This is your last chance. Do you really want to marry this person who can be your grandmother?" Someone?"
