An Quangui immediately sighed and said, "You really are willing to spend."
But he did not have such a substantial family wealth to buy such good cattle, he did not even have enough to buy a calf.
Shi Xiaolan asked, "Doesn’t that mean you’ve run out of money?"
An Jing just smiled without speaking.
Seeing her , An Fu thought she really had no money and quickly said, "An Jing, our family has some extra money now, thanks to you and Brother Xiao, if you need it, we can lend you some."
These people really knew how to be grateful.
Only then did An Jing say, "No need, we still have some money, not much, but enough for me and my husband to live on for a while. Besides, my husband and I are going to sell tofu cheese at the town market tomorrow, we should be able to make some money from that."
Upon hearing An Jing’s words, An Quangui said, "Take more tofu cheese to sell at the town market tomorrow, you haven’t been selling there recently, and the people who come to buy vegetables at West Market were asking me if you’re not going to sell anymore, everyone really wants to buy your family’s tofu cheese."
An Jing said, "During this period, all the tofu cheese was sold to a few restaurants, so there was none left to sell at the stall. However, I still have some tofu cheese on hand now, so I can set up the stall and sell it."
An Quangui mused, "Speaking of restaurants, I remembered something. I overheard some people who came to buy vegetables talking, it seems that some dishes in the town restaurants use tofu cheese, and those dishes with tofu cheese added sell particularly well. Those who buy vegetables all want to buy some tofu cheese from you to try cooking at home and see if it’s as delicious as the dishes at the restaurants."
An Jing laughed, "Looks like I’ll definitely be able to sell out the tofu cheese when I go to the town market tomorrow."
"Definitely!" An Quangui said. "When have you not sold out? Tomorrow will definitely be the same!"
"Then I’ll hold Uncle Quan Gui to his good words."
An Quangui, Shi Xiaolan, and An Fu got off the ox-cart about two hundred meters away from the entrance of Jiuping Village, right at a fork in the road. Down that fork, there was a path leading directly to An Village.
Meanwhile, Xiao Changyi continued driving the ox-cart, returning to Jiuping Village with An Jing.
As soon as the water buffalo entered Jiuping Village, the villagers were stunned. Wu Mazi’s family in Jiuping Village had just one ox, and that was a yellow ox. This water buffalo must be very expensive from just one look.
When the people of Jiuping Village saw An Jing and Xiao Changyi sitting on the ox-cart, they all paused for a moment.
But seeing that there was no one else on the ox-cart, just An Jing and Xiao Changyi, they all started to speculate whether the water buffalo was rented by An Jing and Xiao Changyi or if they had bought it themselves.
"It must be their own purchase, rented water buffaloes would have a strip of cloth tied to their horns!"
As soon as this was said, everyone fell silent, too envious, too jealous, and too resentful to speak any longer. All they could do was stare at An Jing and Xiao Changyi with eyes full of envy, jealousy, and resentment.
They had actually managed to buy an ox—what’s more, a water buffalo! They must be so rich! How come they didn’t have as much money!
Wu Mazi was incredibly irritated when he heard that An Jing and Xiao Changyi had bought a water buffalo.
Before, it was only his family in the village that had an ox, even if it was just a yellow ox, but everyone was particularly envious of his family. Now, An Jing and Xiao Changyi had actually bought a water buffalo!
It must have been because he had refused to let An Jing and Xiao Changyi ride his ox-cart, so they must have held a grudge and bought a water buffalo just to spite him, to make sure his family could no longer be envied by the village!
