Zhangjia is a poor village, and there is only one ox cart in the village. The ox cart of Zhang Uncle Six's family is the only means of transportation for the whole village to go to Shuangyang Town. The bullock cart leaves early and returns late, going to the town for a round trip is four taels of silver. If you ride alone, you have to pay the four taels of money by yourself. If several people ride together, then each person will be able to pay less. Therefore, most of the time everyone will go to town with companions, so that they can spend less on the fare.
When Liu Mufeng arrived at Zhang Uncle Six's house, the other seven people had already been in the bullock cart, and Liu Mufeng was just the eighth person for the cart to go.
"Everyone is here, let's set off!" Looking at everyone, Zhang Uncle Six's sat at the forefront of the bullock cart and left Zhangjia in the bullock cart.
Looking at Liu Mufeng sitting in the bullock cart, Zhang Cui was very surprised. "Brother Liu, are you going to town too?"
"Yeah, going to town to have a look!" After a glance at the other party, Liu Mufeng turned his face, closed his eyes and pretending to take a nap. According to the memory of the original owner, it will take them an hour to go to town in cart, and he didn't want to be bothered by this Zhang Cui all the way.
"Oh!" Seeing Liu Mufeng closed his eyes and looked unwilling to pay attention to her, Zhang Cui frowned and did not pay attention to him again. She wondered: This eldest young master actually has a temper, doesn't he care about me anymore? Does he think that he was still the young master of the Liu family? He's just the five spirit root waste that has been thrown outside the family.
Seeing Liu Mufeng's alienated appearance, Zhang Cui's father looked a little strange. He thought: How did Liu Mufeng personality changed? He used to be courteous around my daughter always whenever he sees her, how can he ignore her today?
After an hour...
The bullock cart came to Shuangyang Town. After entering the town gate, Zhang Uncle Six's stopped the bullock cart. "Here, everyone can get off the cart and go shopping, the same old rule is to go back to the village in three quarters. So we will meet here at the gate town, don't come back late. It's not easy to walk at night!" Looking at everyone in the cart, Zhang Uncle Six's told us carefully.
"Eh, we know that!" In response, the villagers got out of the cart one after another and gave Zhang Uncle Six's half a tael of silver for their fare.
Seeing Liu Mufeng walking over to pay. Zhang Cui and her father followed Liu Mufeng. "Brother Liu, do you have any broken silver? There are no broken silver on me now?"
"Oh, I don't have any extra silver. It just happened I have only a half silver!" Helplessly smiled at Zhang Cui. Liu Mufeng turned his head and looked at Zhang Uncle Six's. "Uncle Six, this is my fare, I won't go back tonight, you don't have to wait for me."
"Ninth Young Master, when are you going back? I will also enter the town tomorrow. If you are going ack tomorrow, you can come and find me at the gate!" After saying it was a round trip fare, Zhang Uncle Six's heard Liu Mufeng won't go back, he felt a little embarrassed to accept the other half of the silver. Thinking that if Liu Mufeng goes back tomorrow, he can also take him back.
"It's okay, you don't need to worry about me, I'm going to travel far away and I don't know when I will return to the village" Putting the silver in Zhang Uncle Six's hands, Liu Mufeng turned and left.
Looking at Liu Mufeng, who had only given money to one person, and did not pay for her and her father fare, Zhang Cui was very angry. Previously, whenever they went to town together, Liu Mufeng would pay for the cart. But this time he didn't pay for herself, which is really abnormal.
After taking out a silver, Zhang's father reluctantly paid for himself and his daughter's cart, and left with his daughter.
"What's the matter, did you and Liu Mufeng quarreled?" Looking at his daughter, Old Man Zhang asked.
"No, who knows what's going on with him? Recently, I went to borrow the spirit stone from him, and he didn't lend me!" Zhang Cui was particularly furious when it came to this. I don't know what kind of wind Liu Mufeng encountered recently. He didn't give her the spirit stone and told her that he spent it all and now he didn't want to pay for her a half tael of silver for her cart fare.
Looking at his daughter's ugly face, Old Man Zhang narrowed his eyes. "Girl, are you hanging him too tigh? Show him a little of sweetness too!"
"Father, do you want me to marry a five-spiritual-root waste abandoned by his family?" Zhang Cui said dully while looking at her father. She was reluctant to marry a waste like Liu Mufeng.
"Just consider it again. Didn't you say that he was trying to mend his relationship with his cousins to return to the family?" If Liu Mufeng can return to Liu's family and marry his daughter, their Zhang's family will prosper . However, if Liu Mufeng couldn't return to the Liu's family, it's a different matter.
"Oh!" Zhang Cui nodded when she heard this.
