Ye Gaosheng's words made Ye Jiu reconsider.
That was true. The distance from their home to the town was indeed not short, and they would likely need to visit the town frequently in the future. Walking every time was not practical.
Moreover, since they would need to transport soap to the house, they couldn't possibly expect Ye Gaosheng to carry it on his back every time, could they?
"Big Brother, let's buy an ox cart. That way, we can go to the town whenever we want and never have to worry about missing the cart again," Ye Jiu persuaded Ye Gaosheng.
"Buy an ox cart?" Ye Gaosheng's eyes widened in alarm, "Mother won't agree."
"She will. We're not asking her for money. If we bring an ox back, she'll only be happy," Ye Jiu said.
"But... the key issue is that we don't have money!" Ye Gaosheng addressed the most practical problem.
"Oh, I have some here. You don't need to worry about the money. Just go and pick out a sturdy, good ox," Ye Jiu said as he headed towards the ox market.
