Chapter 18
The next day, Xiao Jingting and Xu Muan got up early in the morning. Knowing that Xiao Xiaofan and Xiao Xiaodong were planning to help too, Xiao Jingting agreed after thinking about it.
Xiao Jingting held Xiao Xiaofan’s hand and looked at his face that was a bit sad.
Xiao Xiaofan looked at Xiao Jingting’s face, blinking his big dark eyes and said, “Daddy, what’s going on! You are not happy!”
Xiao Jingting smiled and said, “Daddy is worried that the grapes will not be sold.”
“The grapes are delicious. I’m sure they can be sold.” Xiao Xiaofan raised his fist to cheer Xiao Jingting up.
“Really? Are the grapes delicious?” Xiao Jingting asked with a light smile.
Xiao Xiaofan nodded solemnly and said, “Yes, the grapes are delicious, and Xiaofan loves to eat them.”
“If only everyone thinks the same.” Xiao Xiaodong glared at Xiao Xiaofan.
Xiao Xiaofan looked at Xiaodong and said, “Brother, you love to eat it too! You ate more grapes than I did, and Daddy also likes to eat them. The two bunches of grapes I left for daddy were eaten up.”
“Is that so?” Xiao Jingting looked at Xu Muan with a smile on his face and Xu Muan’s face imminently turned red.
Xiao Jingting shook his head in his heart, Xu Muan was only a teenager, at this age in his previous life he would still be in high school, but he already had two kids.
When the four of them reached the village entrance, an ox cart was already waiting. Li Sheng sitting at the head of the cart was smoking and smiled with surprise when he saw them.
“Little Xu! Going to the city again! ” Li Sheng asked genially.
Xu Muan nodded and said, “Yes.”
“This time you are going with the head of the family and the children!” Li Sheng looked at Xiao Jingting and smiled.
Xu Muan was a little embarrassed by Li Sheng as he said, “Yes.”
“Master Xiao, I heard that you’ve recently lost your way, that’s right, get down to farming and raising your family, with your skills, the days will become better and better.” Li Sheng said.
Xiao Jingting nodded and agreed, “You made a point.”
“What are you going to do in the city?” Li Sheng asked.
“To sell something.” Xiao Jingting said vaguely.
Li Sheng nodded and said, “ Well! Get in the cart.”
There were already several people sitting in the cart, when they saw Xiao Jingting and Xu Muan coming in, several people in the cart looked up curiously.
Xiao Jingting was notorious and everyone in Mound Village knew that Xiao Jingting and Xu Muan had a bad relationship, Now watching the two people come in, the people in the cart stared curiously at Xiao Jiangting. Xiao Jingting, who was treated as if he was a rarely-seen treasure, felt very embarrassed.
Xiao Jingting felt that one person in the cart looked at them with different expressions, Xiao Jingting searched and found that this person was Qiu Li, Qiu Bai’s brother.
“Brother Xiao, what will you do in the city this time?” Qiu Li asked.
“Sell something and subsidize the family.” Xiao Jingting said faintly.
Qiu Li glanced at Xiao Jingting basket and said, “I am afraid that brother Xiao is mistaken. There are not many people in the city who liked to eat grapes, so you can’t sell them at a good price. I am just afraid that you will have to pay for a trip back and forth in vain.”
Xiao Jingting smiled disapproving and said, “It’s all right. I’m just trying.”
Seeing that Xiao Jingting was not taking his words seriously, Qiu Li snorted and did not speak anymore.
Xiao Jingting held Xiao Xiaofan in his arms and did not pay any attention to this man.
Xiao Xiaofan was yawning lazily in Xiao Jingting’s arms and Xiao Jingting spoiled him, rubbing Xiao Xiaofan head.
Xiao Xiaodong was full of envy when he looked at Xiao Xiaofan in Xiao Jingting’s arms. Looking at Xiao Jingting’s eyes, he quickly turned away his face.
As soon as people come inside, the ox cart started to run fast. Xiao Jingting felt the power of the exotic ox cart for the first time. It turned out that the ox could run so fast and so steadily.
Xiao Jingting thought to himself: If he becomes rich, he will also buy an ox cart, so he doesn’t have to walk so much to go to the fields every day. Now he has only five mu of land, and he was very free every day so it was okay to waste a little time on the road. But when he will get all the fields back, he will be much busier.
“How much money is this ox-cart of Uncle Li worth?” Xiao Jingting asked Xu Muan in a low voice.
Xu Muan was shocked for a moment before he replied, “It is very difficult to domesticate demon beasts. Many demon beasts will devour their masters when they grow. Uncle Li raised this demonic beast since childhood and it has a close relationship with his family. If ordinary people wanted to buy demonic beast, they have to go to the gate of the Imperial Beast Hall to buy them. The demon beasts there are all controlled by the Imperial Beast Talisman and the price of taming beasts is very high. If Uncle Li bought this ox from the Imperial Beast Hall, the price would be no less than eight hundred silver. ”
Many people were reluctant to pay the training fees of the Imperial Beast Hall. Therefore, many people would buy docile beast cubs to raise. Raising them from young age will be easier to bond with them and it generally will not make big problems.
Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “It’s really expensive!” He really felt like a poor man now.
Qiu Li, who had been resting with his eyes closed, heard Xiao Jingting words, opened his eyes, and glanced at him with sarcasm.
Xiao Jingting felt furious about the disdained look of Qiu Li and his stomach and liver ached with anger.
Qiu Li was a typical son of bitch and hypocrite. Xiao Jingting was sure that everything happened between Qiu Bai and the original body ownerdefinitely had something to do with Qiu Li, who must have plotted behind the scenes! The Qiu family preferred men to women, and Qiu Li’s position in the Qiu family was much higher than that of Qiu Bai.
Qiu Bai and Qiu Li ware of the same mind. They wanted the silver of the original body owner butdispised him and took advantage of him. They also thought that the original body owner shouldn’t covet something way out of his league.
