Chapter 52 It’s hard to pretend to be poor

Now, she has more than 28 taels of silver in her hand.

Horses and mules are too expensive, costing three to forty taels.

Some strong ones cost about forty taels.

Cows are not cheap either, costing more than 30 taels.

She can't even afford it for the time being.

And if she bought a horse and returned to the village, the villagers would doubt how she could have so much money.

15 Two adult healthy donkeys, the price is what she can accept.

When someone asked about her money, she said she had pawned jewelry for donkeys.

Lin Xirou took a fancy to a donkey.

Just as she was about to step forward and say she wanted to buy it, someone behind her said, "Hey, isn't this the new Hu Lin lady from Tianfeng Village?"

Lin Xirou turned around and found that it was Qin Dalang's mother.

"It's Mrs. Qin's family. Are you coming to the market too?"

She smiled on the outside, but secretly thought in her heart, no matter what, Tian Sini and Qin Dalang are together, don't let her meet.

"I'm passing by. I'm not going to the market." Madam Qin pointed at the three people behind her, "I'm busy, so I won't tell you."

Mrs. Lin looked at the three people and found that one of them was the matchmaker she saw at Tian's house that day.

Next to the matchmaker were two women.

An older woman, and an unmarried girl of eighteen | nineteen years old.

The two look very similar, like mother and daughter.

The Qin family's wife said she was going to work and didn't want to say more, but she was not in a hurry to leave.

Lin Xirou glanced at the matchmaker and the mother and daughter, and then asked, "Madam Qin family, are these three guests at your house?"

"It's okay to say he's a guest. He might not be a guest in the future."

Lin Xirou knew that the Qin family's wife was trying to sell her off, so she led her to ask further questions.

She simply asked, "What does this mean? You are a guest, but you are not a guest?"

"It's just...ahem..." The Qin family's wife's face flashed with pride, "This is the daughter-in-law I found for my eldest son. How about it? She is prettier than the daughter of the Tian family, right?" It turned out that she was looking for the daughter-in-law of Qin Dalang to remarry. Lady.

Qin Dalang came to see Tian Sini excitedly. He didn't know about this yet, right?
"Yes, yes, very handsome." Lin Xirou answered perfunctorily.

"You can tell she's fertile at first glance, unlike the daughter of the Tian family. A chicken that can't lay eggs will not be wanted by anyone she marries." The Qin family's wife curled her lips and waved to Lin Xirou, "Let's go, see you later. .”

Lin Xirou smiled and added, "These two couples have been married for several years and have no children. It is not necessarily a woman's problem. Some are also men's problems."

The Qin family's wife looked ugly, "What did you say? Do you dare to doubt my uncle?"

"I've seen other people not have children for this reason. I'm just talking about it, not about Qin Dalang." Lin Xirou shrugged.

Mrs. Qin glared at her, waved to the three people following her, and turned away.

Lin Xirou looked at the crowded market and wanted to find Qin Dalang and Tian Sini, but she didn't know where they would go.

Recalling what Madam Qin said just now, they were just passing by and not going to the market.

If you don't go to the market, you won't meet Tian Dani and Qin Dalang.

Lin Xirou prayed in her heart that the Qin family's wife would be blind.

After watching for a while, Lin Xirou picked a donkey.

The deal was settled for 15 taels of silver.

Leading the donkey, Lin Xirou came to look for a carpentry shop.

Going to the market today, the shopkeeper piled all the items for sale at the door of the shop.

After Lin Xirou spotted a cart with a donkey attached to it, she asked the shopkeeper if he knew how to make crutches.

"For people with inconvenient legs." She took a wooden stick and drew a simple picture on the ground.

In fact, she has metal crutches in her medical warehouse.

But the workmanship is too fine. If it is used by a young eunuch now, it will make people suspicious.

Today she bought a donkey and a donkey cart, and also bought a bunch of daily necessities. Then she took out her crutches. She couldn't explain the amount of her property.

Let’s make a piece of wood first, and the rougher it is, the better.

It's so hard to pretend to be poor.
