However, who among the people present really cared about who his youngest son was?
Immediately, someone tried to be kind and tried to talk to Xue Dafu. “Buddy, seeing that you are being so honest, we can’t cheat you. It’s really only ten silver at most. Last time, someone sold me an especially big deer and I only gave two silver. Besides, you said that your youngest son had studied in this town before. He’s a scholar, so how could he really know the price of these prey?”
“This…” Xue Dafu was a little shaken.
Xue Yifu’s heart began to beat rapidly.
“I’m sorry, but Xue Yan said that we won’t sell it to you for anything below eighty silver. If you’re only willing to pay ten silver, we can’t sell it to you.”
To Xue Erfu, Xue Yan knew what he was doing. He had been a sensible boy since he was young and never spoke nonsense. Since he said that the bear was worth at least eighty silver, it must be worth eighty silver.
These people were all strangers to him. Naturally, he would believe his brother and not these people who said that it was worth ten silver at most.
Seeing Xue Erfu like this, Jiang Yue felt that Xue Erfu would suffer less than Xue Dafu and Xue Yifu.
Xue Dafu and Xue Yifu were too easily influenced by others.
“Alright, if you don’t want to sell it, then so be it.” Those people looked at each other and thought that since they were the only ones who bought this, the blind bear would definitely fall into their hands at a low price of ten silver. They were not in a hurry and immediately dispersed with uncaring expressions.
This was also a strategy they had collectively agreed on. If no one wanted to buy it, the three farmers would be anxious.
They just had to wait. These three farmers had just arrived, so they were still dreaming about the eighty silver.
Those who came here to sell their prey had all been skinned by them.
Jiang Yue noticed their little actions, but she remained silent.
She was just a three-and-a-half-year-old girl now. At most, some people would think that she was too gullible and would not take a second look. No one would take her seriously. Naturally, they did not know that she had already seen through their tricks.
In fact, this was the simplest trick in the book. She can see through any tricks! There were some things that she only needed to look to understand.
On the other hand, Xue Dafu and Xue Yifu had been slightly affected, but with Xue Erfu’s words, it was as if they had temporarily found their pillar of support, and they didn’t stop the people who had left.
“Let’s wait a little longer, we just got here.” Xue Dafu laughed. Perhaps he would meet someone who was willing to pay eighty silver later.
The three of them stopped the ox cart at the side.
At this moment, Jiang Yue was finally able to get off the ox cart.
“You must be hungry.” Xue Dafu received a bamboo basket from Xue Yifu. The basket was covered with a piece of brown cloth, and under the cloth were eight pieces of leftover cornbread.
When Li Hehua found out that Xue Dafu and the others were going to town to sell the blind bear, she entered the courtyard the moment she put Jiang Yue down and packed the cornbread. When Xue Yifu borrowed the ox cart, she quickly placed the bamboo basket on the ox cart so that Xue Dafu and the others could bring it to town to eat.
Although Li Hehua couldn’t physically help much because she was pregnant, she was extremely meticulous and thoughtful in her daily life.
Xue Dafu and the others didn’t start eating the cornbread immediately. Instead, Xue Dafu took out two coins from his gray wallet and handed them to Xue Yifu. “It’s rare to come to town. Yifu, go buy two meat buns for Jiang Yue. I saw a bun seller on the road we just came from in that direction.”
