Chapter 56 - 56 I Can Do It
56 I Can Do It
This wild boar weighed no less than 500 catties. After they sold off more than half of it, but there was still a large piece left.
She could have kept some for her family, but she needed the money to build a house. Moreover, she was going to Ruyi Restaurant tomorrow anyway, so she might as well sell it.
“Okay! But there is still a lot of meat. How about this? Tomorrow, come with me and Shuanzi, we’ll help you send it to Ruyi Restaurant.” Uncle Wang said.
“It’s okay. I am going to take the cart tomorrow,” Lin Xiaoyue said.
The other prey she hunted today already weighed more than 300 catties.
With so many things, it would still be more than 100 catties for each person to carry. She couldn’t walk 4 kilometers with so much weight on her.
“The driver will make you pay more since you’re carrying so much. Shuanzi and I will send them to town for you.” Uncle Wang thought that Lin Xiaoyue didn’t want to trouble them, so he quickly added.
“There’s really no need for that. I have already told Grandpa Shi of Shangyang Village that I will wait for him at the side of the main road tomorrow.”
This was not entirely true. Grandpa Shi, the driver, only said that the first journey to town was usually not full.
Therefore, if she waited by the main road at that time, even if she was carrying a lot of things, she should be able to get on.
Uncle Wang paused.
She knew that she was going to sell things in town tomorrow, and she even made an appointment with the driver? He remembered what his wife had said about this girl’s hunting ability, and he understood immediately.
“Alright then. Uncle Shi of Shangyang Village is easy to talk to. When you get there, you can discuss with him to see if he can help you send the things to Ruyi Restaurant.”
“Yes! Don’t worry, I know what to do!” Lin Xiaoyue said with a smile.
Then, she got back to work.
After Uncle Wang finished cutting up the meat and the courtyard was tidied up, the Wang family left.
Lin Xiaoyue sent him out of the courtyard and returned to the house. Then, the family ate together.
It was almost 11 o’clock at night, and they were already very hungry.
Eating the delicious food and steaming hot buns, the family of three was so happy that they teared up.
After eating, Lin Xiaoyue went to do the dishes.
After they finished washing up, Lin Xiaoyue took out some medicine to treat the wound on Liu Shi’s forehead and bandaged it.
“Mom, don’t go out tomorrow. Just rest at home. I’ll go to the main road and wait for Grandpa Shi. Then, I’ll pay him a bit more and ask him to send me directly to Ruyi Restaurant to deliver the goods.”
“But…” Liu Shi was worried.
“Don’t worry. I can take care of everything.” Lin Xiaoyue patted the back of Liu Shi’s hand.
Then, she took out the money she had earned from selling the wild boar meat tonight.
“Take these. Count them tomorrow. Let’s see how much money we have now.”
“Okay.” Liu Shi nodded. She thought about the house.
“Yue’er, this house…”
They had more than forty-five taels of silver now.
This money might not be enough to build a courtyard and buy furniture, but it should be enough to build a small house.
If she saved a bit more, soon, the three of them could have a decent home.
