She went to the rice grain store and bought two catties of white flour and four catties of rice. She saw a man selling candied haws on the street and bought a bunch. By the time she left the county, her basket was full of things.
There were too many things in her hands, and her body was weak. It would be dark by the time she walked back. Bei Yutang found the cart and horse market outside the city, where there were oxcarts specially used to travel to various villages.
If you want to save effort, you can just spend two copper coins and you can do it.
Bei Yutang found the oxcart heading to Nanxi Village. The coachman looked at her with a wary face when he saw Bei Yutang, especially when he saw her holding so many things.
“Mu Zhitao, let me tell you, don’t even think about riding in a white cart. You’re not here today…”
Bei Yutang threw two copper coins onto the oxcart, and the coachman suddenly fell silent.
Don’t blame the coachman for not wanting to see her, it’s really that Mu Zhitao was too scoundrel. She did not pay every time she rode in an oxcart. Over time, people in the surrounding area would run away when they saw Mu Zhi Tao, and they would definitely not allow her to get in the cart.
The coachman looked at Mu Zhitao suspiciously, muttering in his heart.
So strange, Mu Zhitao changed her temper and actually paid for it. This is the first time in so many years.
Many people came one after another, two of them were from Nanxi Village. The two women looked surprised when they saw Mu Zhitao on the oxcart.
One of them joked to the coachman: “Uncle Niu, why are you so generous today? You can let people ride for free. Are you not charging any money today?”
For the woman’s irony, Bei Yutang ignored it.
Uncle Niu glanced at Mu Zhitao and became more and more suspicious in his heart. Why was she so quiet today? If she heard someone pushing her like this on weekdays, she would have jumped out and scolded that person.
“Whoever is not collected, it is all collected.” Uncle Niu said.
Aunt Wang sneered, “Uncle, you are talking nonsense with your eyes open. Someone rides in a car and never pays.”
Everyone followed Aunt Wang’s gaze and landed on Bei Yutang.
“If you don’t collect money today, we won’t pay either. You have to treat everyone equally, right?” Aunt Wang took the opportunity to demand that she could save two copper coins.
“Mu Zhitao, she really paid.” Uncle Niu said solemnly.
“Tch, you were afraid that we wouldn’t pay, so you deliberately helped her. Uncle, it’s so unkind of you to do this. It would be terrible if this matter got to your wife’s ears.” Another woman continued.
Uncle Niu was speechless and felt helpless. He could not help but look at Bei Yutang, wanting her to say a word.
Bei Yutang did not say anything, but she took out two coins from her purse and threw them to Uncle Niu.
Uncle Niu was stunned and waved his hand quickly, “I can’t help it, you’ve already paid me.”
“It’s okay, just use it as the previous fare.”
After Bei Yutang finished speaking, she did not even look at the surprised expressions on the faces of the two women. Now they have no chance to take advantage of the situation.
Aunt Wang felt a little uncomfortable in her heart and could not help but mutter, “Oh, this is a big fortune.”
Bei Yutang did not even look at her and ignored her completely.
Aunt Wang and the other woman looked at each other and felt bored, so they stopped talking.
When the people were about to board, the oxcart headed towards Nanxi Village.
When they arrived at Nanxi Village, Uncle wanted to return the two coins to Bei Yutang, but she refused. Bei Yutang saw a small person squatting on the hillside from a distance. When he saw her, he ran toward her.
