Chapter 113 Stealing cattle in the middle of the night

Author: light purple astringency

When Jiang Changan and his group drove the bullock cart back to the village, it was just as the sun was setting in the west. At ten o'clock in the evening, the villagers were rushing home from the fields. They happened to encounter this scene, and all of them stopped to watch.

Farmers face the loess and the sky at their backs all their lives, digging in the fields all year round, barely making a living, and rarely seeing money, so only one family in the village can afford to buy a cow.

This bull is really tall and strong. It has been pulling the cart for so long and it doesn't show signs of fatigue. It looks even better than the cow in Lao Niutou's family.

"Chang'an, where did you get the cow? You didn't buy it for your family, right?" The villagers were so curious that they couldn't help but get to the bottom of it.

Since Jiang Changan and Li Shushen were driving the car, the cow couldn't have been bought by Li Shushen, a man who just broke away from the Li family, right?

The villagers don't know exactly what happened to the Li family. Landlord Li and his mother-in-law were having a quarrel recently, and the whole family was in trouble. They were not in the mood to care about Li Shushen, who was not his biological son.

There was nothing given to Li Shushen at the beginning. Instead, it was Li Shushen's ginseng that repaid the Li family for their upbringing over the years.

Therefore, this cow was most likely bought by Jiang Changan to the Jiang family. Who would have thought that the little fool at the time could actually hide such great skills and earn so much money for the family in just a few days.

Carpentry, pottery making, salt making, threshing machine, oh and sickle.

He insisted on helping the disintegrated Jiang family become a wealthy family in the village. Some people laughed at Old Man Jiang for building a house as soon as he had some money. It was not as practical as buying a cow that could work.

They are farmers, and cattle are the most valuable and practical assets. As a result, they turned around and bought the cattle, which are the strongest bulls. This is because they have free money. Otherwise, how could they spend more than ten taels of silver without blinking an eye?

Bought cattle.

The Jiang family's rapid promotion has made the villagers jealous.

"Ah, yes, it's time to harvest and plow in the summer. My family has a lot of people and a small amount of land, and it's really hard to live without a cow." Jiang Chang smiled broadly, thinking it was normal.

As a result, the villagers became jealous again, ah, yes, the Jiang family can't live without more people, because they just got the family land back from their clan leader, and they are getting richer and richer.

But they all earn their money through hard power, and you can't learn from it, otherwise you will be like the Jiang clan leader's family who lost their wives and lost their troops.

"In Chang'an, my uncle's family has a small number of people. Remember to lend the ox cart to my uncle's family. You may not have known it before, but we are members of the same clan."

A dark-skinned middle-aged man stood in front of him. He stared at the cow with a look that didn't stop him from drooling. He reached out and touched it. His greed should not be too obvious.

Jiang Changan chuckled, "Thank you for calling me stupid, but how can a fool have a family? A fool only knows how to beat people, do you want it?" After Jiang Changan said this, he raised the small whip in his hand and waved it at the man.

The malice in Jiang Changan's eyes was not hidden at all. He was really used to robbing and robbing. This man was Chief Jiang's number one supporter and had also stolen a lot of land from the clan.

It's just that he doesn't have Jiang Chang'an's family's land in his hands, otherwise he would have been left to wander around here, and he would have been punished long ago to the point where his mother doesn't even recognize him.

The man didn't expect that Jiang Changan would suddenly take action, "Hey, you little bitch! You" The dark man raised the hoe in his hand to block it. What he said was not clean, but he hadn't finished it yet.

With a crisp 'snap' sound, Li Shushen's sole was swiped towards the mouth full of excrement, hitting him in the mouth without any bias. The man's mouth was suddenly filled with the smell of blood, and his face turned away.

It also became red and swollen.

Even the teeth on one side were loose, and the word "in" suddenly made the man's speech unclear.

Then, he saw that Li Shushen had prepared another shoe and was waiting for him to say dirty words before calling him on the other side.

The black man was so frightened that he quickly took a few steps back and hid far away. At this moment, he finally remembered that this little brat Li Shushen was someone who even the county magistrate dared to poke in the neck. How could he care about his weak legs?

The black man could only stare at Li Shushen and Jiang Chang'an, daring to be angry but afraid to speak, his eyes full of evil birds of prey.

"Oh, Li Shushen, why did you take away my job?" Jiang Changan pouted and was very dissatisfied, and directly crushed the whip in his hand into powder. Don't be too obvious in your shocking behavior.

"I'm doing this for your own good. The girl's family can't be too cruel. It's better for me to do things like fighting and killing. Go and pick up the shoes for senior brother." Li Shushen said in a commanding tone.

Jiang Changan rolled his eyes, did I ask you to throw away your shoes? "If you hit someone, what kind of shoes would you throw away? Use a whip or chop with a knife. It's wrong to waste shoes."

Li Shushen was speechless. He told you not to be cruel but you insist on doing the opposite. This rebellious temper is really not good. Really, didn't you see that the villagers were so frightened that they changed their faces and wished they could stay away?

"Shu Shen, Chang'an, just send those who have bad intentions to the government directly. You can't do it yourself. You are scholars, so you must be polite." Senior brother Shen Shikang still felt that it was not enough.

Another heavy stick is added. I'm not afraid of hitting you, and I'm not afraid of cutting you. It's better to go to the government office, but you can't get out.

The villagers immediately retreated, just looking at the cow, why did it get to the point of sending it to the government, and who was provoked?

Finally, the group of people was not surrounded and made it all the way to Jiang Blacksmith's house. The three of them looked at each other and burst out laughing together.

When they were younger, people always liked to scare children with weird things. What kind of wild beasts loved to eat children? There were spirits in the mountains that were adopting children.

Anyway, everything is scary. Children just can't do this or that, otherwise there will be some kind of bad consequences. Today, they finally experienced the pleasure of scaring adults, which is really fun.

It is common for villagers to be greedy for gain, but some people are extremely greedy. Moreover, with so many people surrounding the big bull, people have already become irritable. What if they go crazy and gouge someone?

Therefore, it is better not to get close to danger, and be careful that curiosity will kill the cat.

"What are you so happy about? Did you buy a lot of iron?" Blacksmith Jiang and Jiang Feng heard the news and came out from home. When they saw the bags filled with oxcarts, their eyes suddenly lit up.

"As expected of Mr. Song, he bought so much iron. This is the amount that I have only purchased in several years." Blacksmith Jiang admired Mr. Song very much.

Sure enough, people still need to have a certain culture to do things properly.

"Haha, where are you? If you are busy, I will go back first if I have something else to do." Master Song also wanted to go back to make arrangements, intercept some external harassment, and let Jiang Changan and others concentrate on construction.

"Yes, goodbye sir, Mr. Shen, please take Mr. home home." Of course Shen Shikang walked back by himself. He only needs to know the general process of blacksmithing, and there is no need to be proficient in it, so he might as well go back and read a book.

"Okay, let's go first, you are busy."

The carriage left, and Shen Shikang also left. Only Jiang Changan and Li Shushen were carrying the piece of iron.

Later, Jiang Changan arranged the distribution and production of iron blocks to Jiang Blacksmith's family, and then returned to the Jiang family.

The bustling Jiang family has also stopped working. Today, some people came to the Jiang family to help with carpentry to earn wages. Some people also came to change jobs to build kilns and bake bricks and tiles.

Jiang Laoer was the last person to come back from the backyard, dusting himself off, when he saw Jiang Changan pulling an ox cart in from the door.

"Huh? Chang'an, where did you borrow the car? Have you brought the goods back?" Jiang Laoer didn't expect the cow to be his own. He thought his daughter had bought other things from the county town.

But the bullock cart is empty? Huh?!

"Dad, I bought these cows and cars for my family." Big houses are being built, so why can't we be bolder in our ideas?

Jiang Laoer paused for a moment, but he wasn't too surprised, "It's time to buy a bullock cart at home, Ling'er did a good job." Why did he look at the bull and look down on people? Is it an illusion?

But Old Man Jiang was no longer calm, and fell off the recliner again. Of course, this time it was very gentle, because he could move, "Chang'an, you bought a cow!"

Old Man Jiang held his cane and moved slowly over.

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the family who heard the noise came out of the house one after another, including Mr. Jiang who was lying on his back. Then everyone saw a tall and strong bull, and their hearts were full of excitement and complexity.

"Hey, Chang'an, can you lend it to me? Your uncle has to travel back and forth to the county town every day. The journey is long, his feet are blistered, and several pairs of shoes are worn out. It's a waste."

Of course, Jiang Laosan's words were mostly exaggerated, but he had never worked so hard. Sometimes he couldn't catch the oxcart and had to walk home from the county town. Even if he made money, he would still get blisters on the soles of his feet.

Unfortunately, this business cannot be stopped, and the children have to eat, so the pressure is great.

But if there is an ox cart, then this work will be much easier, and you will make money at the same time. What a beautiful thing.

Jiang Laosan's wishful thinking made a thunderous sound.

"Then you have to ask my dad." She couldn't care less.

The children of the Jiang family looked around the oxen and the cart. They actually had an oxcart at home, and they climbed up and down on the cart curiously.

"Sister, I want to ride a bull." Jiang Jiarong was not satisfied with riding on the shabby wooden cart. He grabbed the tail of the bull and tried to climb up. He didn't even know he was afraid.

Jiang Changan thought to himself and hugged the cow's neck directly, "Little darling, they are all your friends. You should get along well with them in the future."

The bull's irritable mood suddenly faded away, ah! Human children are so annoying.

"Be careful. This cow is not obeying discipline. Be careful that it will go up against people. If such a thing happens, we will kill it and eat its meat later."

Regardless of whether he understood it or not, Jiang Changan still threatened Niu again.

"Hehe, okay, okay." Jiang Jiarong danced happily on the back of the cow, "Tomorrow I will go to graze the cow and let it eat the fattest grass."

Jiang Laosan is about to cry but has no tears. Baby, haven't you heard what I said? My parents want to use the cattle to do business and make money.

"This cow is really good. How much did it cost? In the future, we can bring food to the family, and finally there will be cows to pull pears in the fields." Old man Jiang always dreamed of buying a cow, and now his granddaughter has made it come true.

The family looks forward to the future in front of the big bull, feeling happy and happy.

There is a firewood shed in the backyard of Jiang's family and it has a lock. Da Niu Niu's family is temporarily settled here until their house is built, because Jiang Changan also planned a garage.

Well, it's a flatbed cart, the kind that can be used for grazing cattle. It has ditches for defecation, so it's very clean and convenient.

In the kitchen of the main house, the women of the Jiang family were still cooking. The third bedroom was the same as the second bedroom. They paid the food fee and returned to the old house with three meals a day. Anyway, the couple was busy buying rock sugar water and had no time.

Mrs. Li from the eldest house also provided food and brought several children over to eat and of course cook together. In the whole family, only the elder Jiang was excluded.

But in fact, no one ostracized him, it was just that he had no face.

In the main room, Jiang Lao Er was talking to Old Man Jiang and Jiang Changan about the progress of the backyard work. Jiang Lao San was listening with eyes burning.

“Dad, can you also build me a new house? It doesn’t have to be big, it just needs to be big enough for a few children to get married in the future.

I will pay, but I have to go to the trouble of asking my father to help me pay some in advance." Not just a few, but a lot. Jiang Laosan has always been shameless and spoke easily.

Old Man Jiang thought for a long time with a sullen face, and then asked, "How much money do you plan to pay? When can you pay me back?" After all, he is his own son, and a father will always have a softness in his heart.

Doesn't this question mean there's something going on? Jiang Laosan got excited and said, "Let's build three or five rooms. It's two floors like yours. It has all the necessary kitchens, bathrooms, and so on."

Dad, please figure out how much money you have spent. I will repay you at least a dozen cars of silver every year, so you can establish a written record." Jiang Laosan learned the lesson this time, and he knew that only by being so serious can he get the support of his old father.

"Second Brother, what do you think?" After all, the bricks, tiles and wood used to build the house belong to Jiang Changan, so I still want to ask the second parent, the elder, for his opinion.

"I don't care. Dad has the final say, right Ling'er?" Jiang Changan often helps her cousins. He is a generous child, and there is nothing he wouldn't do if he thought about it.
