"No problem, I met Wang Crippled yesterday and asked him to wait for me today." She responded and had already stepped out of the courtyard door.
In the village, Wang Crippled drove a cow's cart to town every day, and it cost three cents per person per ride. He would leave early in the morning and return in the evening, making his living from driving the cart.
Chen Laogen's family also had a cow's cart, but their cow was mainly used for plowing fields. During the harvest season, when there were many people going to town, he would occasionally drive the cart to make some extra money.
However, on heavy rain days, there would be no cart to town.
It was said that hiring a cart to go to town cost fifteen cents. Even the three cents for one trip by cart was a lot for many people, who would rather walk for hours instead.
It took almost four hours to walk to town. Su Qingyue's basket weighed over 70 jin, and carrying such a heavy load was too much of a burden.
