Good Farming in Spring - C47
The person who came was standing right in front of Dou Wanglang.
“aconitine, it’s such a coincidence that I met you.”
“Little brother, don’t call me brother, just call me Ming Zi. Last time, it was all thanks to you saving me, otherwise I wouldn’t be standing here right now. So, you have to make me express my feelings.
After he finished speaking, he told the young man in front of him,
“Hey, no matter which cloth this little brother chose, I’ll give it to him and put the blame on me. I didn’t bring any money today, I’ll return the money to you in a few days.”
found it funny to have so righteous and confident on credit. However, he also felt that this person was not as tyrannical as he thought he was, and was even thinking of paying the bill on behalf of the Wangzhige. No matter how he looked at it, this was a rather loyal person.
“Ming Zi… aconitine, we … “Our shop doesn’t charge any credit. Please, please …”
Looks like this aconitine did this sort of thing frequently, it should be because he was in debt and could not repay his debts.
“When have I ever been on credit? What are you worried about? If I don’t want to return the money, I’ll just take the cloth and leave. When have I ever failed to do so?”
Oh, you really mean what you say. This really broadened Lin Chunnuan’s horizons. A bandit and idler speaking about reputation, this was truly a new thing.
But when she thought back to what the Wangzhige said, how he promised to come back and save his comrades while they were in the forest, and how he really did come back, Lin Chunnuan believed even more in his words. She looked at the man in front of her carefully.
No matter how he looked at it, this Ming Zi looked like a very real farmer. However, seeing Dou Wang’s fear of him and the little boy’s fear of him, Lin Chunnuan had no choice but to believe that this person was one of the five bandits that Dou Wang had said he was afraid of.
“aconitine, this humble one knows that you have to keep your word. It’s just that, just that, this shop really doesn’t have any rules of credit.”
Even though the waiter was scared, he still took the pressure and spoke his mind. Otherwise, if he lost this piece of cloth, the boss would definitely make him pay it back. He would only be able to return this piece of cloth after several months’ worth of wages.
I don’t have any money in my pocket right now, and I also want to give my little brother face, so tell me what to do. I promised you that I would give it to you, so you can let me go for two days. If you don’t agree, then I’ll let my little brother carry the fabric away, and then I’ll slap it into two pieces.
When Ming Zi said this, he seemed to have a bit of power behind it. Lin Chunnuan always felt that he was just putting on an act, she pulled on Wangzhige’s clothes and gave him a look so that he could speak. Only then did Dou Wang remember that he was the main character, and that he wanted to buy this cloth.
“Um, second brother, I want this blue flower and this broken one, and I also want this white muslin cloth. Help me calculate how much it will cost.”
Dou Wang looked at the direction Lin Chunnuan pointed at and lit up three pieces of cloth for the waiter to wrap them up.
He turned around and said to Mitsuko,
“aconitine, I brought some money with me. I want to buy cloth for my own use, so don’t make things difficult for this second brother. He also works for others, it’s not easy for him.”
When Mingzi heard Dou Wang’s words, a hint of uneasiness flashed across his face. He rubbed his hands together and said,
“Little brother, I’m really sorry, I don’t have any money on me, I don’t even have the money to help you pay for the fabric. Next time, next time you come to town, I will definitely prepare some silver to treat you to a meal.”
Seeing how Ming Zi treated Dou Wang well, the waiter couldn’t help but be curious about Dou Wang. This young boy looked very young, but Ming Zi seemed to be very respectful to him. Usually, Ming Zi didn’t have such a good attitude.
I still have to thank the aconitine this time, and I’m still worried about helping me pay for him. I appreciate your kindness, but let’s chat next time we meet.
After the waiter settled the bill, Lin Chunnuan paid up. The waiter then tied the three pieces of cloth together and carried them on Dou Wang’s shoulders.
He could clearly feel Dou Wang’s body sinking down, and the waiter held him up.
“Little brother, these three pieces of cloth are quite heavy. If you want to carry them back by yourself, it will be a little difficult. I heard that you want to buy something else. I’m afraid that you won’t be able to take them back.”
Dou Wang also felt that it was a bit difficult, but these were all things that he needed today. He had to think of a way to take them back.
“Second brother, can we leave the cloth with you for now? Let’s go buy something else first and come back later. We’ll be back soon.”
The boy had a good impression of Dou Wang because he got the money,
“Of course you can. You guys go ahead and buy first, I’ll show you what to buy. Don’t be too late.”
The waiter took the three bundled cloths to the counter and placed them there, so that no one would take them away.
“Then thank you, second brother, we will be there soon.”
Dou Wang pulled Lin Chunnuan’s hand and walked out. He did not forget to greet Ming Zi as he walked.
“aconitine, we will be going to buy other things now.” aconitine, we will be going to buy other things now.
Mingzi, on the other hand, looked at the fabric, then looked at Dou Wang, before following along with a few large strides.
“Little brother, what are you buying? I’ll go with you. The price must be reasonable. Just a moment ago, you saw the fabric shop charging less, right?”
The cloth farm was really short on money. It seemed that on aconitine’s account, the money had been reduced by a dozen or so coins, but Dou Wang really didn’t want to have anything to do with this guy anymore.
“aconitine, I won’t keep you any longer, there are still a few small things left. I don’t need more than a few coins, I won’t trouble you anymore.”
“Hey, look at what little brother has said. Is it that difficult for me to repay you with my kindness? There’s no need for you to be so polite. Go, go, go.
Seeing that he could not get rid of her, Dou Wang was helpless. He took a peek at Lin Chunnuan and felt that she had caused Lin Chunnuan trouble.
Since aconitine is familiar with this place, then let’s go buy some cotton. Thank you aconitine, we are really in a rush to get back to the village, there are people waiting for us at home. “Su Yun said in a low voice.
Since he could not get rid of it, he would make use of it. If he really was up to something, he had to admit that the town was this person’s territory, and not his, Lin Chunnuan had already thought about it. He had already bought all the things he needed, and if there were no accidents, he would just finish his mission.
“Sure, that’s easy to deal with. Right now, we’re the closest to the seasoning store. Oh, that’s the store. Let’s go in.”
However, Ming Zi was completely oblivious to the two’s thoughts and directly brought them to the seasoning shop.
“Little girl, take a look and see what kind of seasonings you want. Pick as much as you want, don’t worry about the price.”
Lin Chunnuan waved her hand and told Ming Zi:
“aconitine, we don’t need to save money, but I want the best goods, don’t take the tasteless ones to trick me.”
Lin Chunnuan knew that there were a lot of large scale Zanthoxylum buns that could be used to dry before selling them, but the taste was much worse.
“Don’t worry, they won’t dare to lie to me.”
Mingzi pointed to the shop assistant, who hurriedly nodded his head.
“Little girl, go ahead and pick what you want. I guarantee that I’ll give you the best goods.”
Although there were still not many varieties of seasonings available, but in this time and space, the number of families that could prepare for this was not much. She did not notice that Dou Wang was watching her pick the ingredients with a pained look on his face.
After choosing his ingredients, Ming Zi quickly returned the wrapped up ingredients back to the cloth farm so that they could be taken away together. Lin Chunnuan looked at Ming Zi, who quickly ran back over, and his heart was filled with a strange feeling, he felt that this person’s intrinsic qualities were different from what he had displayed in the eyes of the masses.
After Lin Chunnuan bought the few kilograms of cotton, Dou Wang looked at the cotton and started to worry. It seemed that he really couldn’t take them back, just these few tens of kilograms of cotton was enough for him to carry, as well as cloth and plates.
“Wangzhige, let’s hire a car and head back. Spending a bit of money can save us some effort and help us get home faster.”
Actually, Lin Chunnuan had already thought of this when she was shopping. She thought about how Dou Wang had gone back with such a small body and a huge iron pot that was so heavy, and if he really went back and crushed his bones, it would not be worth it. Therefore, he had planned to hire a car since a long time ago.
“Little brother, little brother, we’ll send you and your little sister back to the village.”
Mingzi who had gone missing just now had suddenly come out, followed by the idler who he had rescued from in front of him. The idler was holding a cart in his hands, causing Lin Chunnuan’s eyes to light up.
“No need, no need, we’ll just hire a car to go back. It’s been so long since we came here, and you guys ran all over the place. It’s too much work.”
Dou Wang really didn’t want to use these two. He felt that it was better to stay far away from them.
“Little brother, please let us help you once. I wholeheartedly want to repay you for saving my life, but I have no way to help you. We can only hope for a little help for you now.”
Ming Zi spoke with sincerity, causing Lin Chunnuan to smile in the dark. Using a bandit to deliver goods to him could be considered a miracle in the world.
