Chapter 316 Paying Debt
Although the county town is a bit far away, if the price can really be raised, their hard trip will not be worth it.
After all, it is good to sell something for more money if it is hard to get it.
Bai Anyan listened to his mother's plan, hesitated, and couldn't help but suggest,
"Mom, it seems that Third Grandma's uncle Yunshan is working in the county. I heard he will be back soon. Should we ask him to help find out what the price of pine nuts is in the county?"
After listening to the second child's question, Bai Yunxi glanced at him and shook his head.
"We can't make it public about selling pine nuts. Pine nuts are no better than others. If they are too ostentatious, they will easily be hated by others. At present, our family is only suitable for making money quietly. There is no need to cause trouble.
Li nodded in agreement, not forgetting to glare at Bai Anyan.
"Mom is right. What if someone knows that I sold the money and comes to borrow it from me? If I don't borrow it, I will definitely offend others. Our family still lives in a shack."
A while ago, her mother told her that she wanted to save money to build a big yard. If she lent the money out, it would be up to her whether she could get it back. Wouldn't it mean that the big yard she was looking forward to would be gone?
Bai Anyan received his wife's disgusted look and scratched his head in embarrassment.
"It makes sense, but I thought too simply."
Bai Yunxi looked at the second child and his wife, thinking about their personalities, so he had to continue feeding them chicken soup.
"It's safest to keep your wealth secret these days. We don't have much ability to protect ourselves, so we can only act with caution. The fact is that we have to endure it if we are not convinced."
After listening to his mother's reminder, Bai Anyan pursed his lips, pulled the cart hard, and silently encouraged himself again.
You must work hard and farm hard so that your family can live a good life and no longer have to worry about food and clothing.
With a plan in mind, Baiyunxi didn't stop in the town, bought some daily necessities, and went home.
I originally planned to rest at home for one day and then go to the county town. Unfortunately, as soon as I got home, snowflakes started to fall in the sky again, and this time it was two days again.
Fortunately, there was enough food at home, so Bai Yunxi didn't panic, but instead counted the money in his hands.
Excluding the two guan spent on stocking up on winter grain, plus the money from selling yam tablets, she still had eight guan in clear money and a few hundred cash in change.
Thinking that winter would be difficult for everyone, Bai Yunxi took out two ounces of money from the locker and asked Du to prepare ten eggs to deliver to Dr. Yang and return the money she owed him. I am now debt-free and light-hearted.
Taking advantage of the light snow and few people walking around in the village, Bai Yunxi took Li to Doctor Yang's house.
Dr. Yang is a barefoot doctor. Villagers around him come to him if they have minor illnesses or disasters. It is said that his life is not bad. But for some unknown reason, Dr. Yang never got married and lived alone.
The Yang family lives in the center of the village, with a small square yard, three main houses, two side houses, and a small gatehouse, a simple farmhouse.
The door to his house was always ajar. Mrs. Li tapped the door knocker twice.
"Is Doctor Yang at home?"
"Here, come in."
Mrs. Li opened the door and saw that the yard was covered with a thick layer of snow. Except for the distance from the main room to the kitchen, which was cleared away, the rest was completely white.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law supported each other and walked to the eaves. Baiyunxi patted the snowflakes on his body.
Doctor Yang saw the two people appearing and looked at them in surprise.
“Which of you is sick, or do you have a sick person at home?”
