Chapter 198
The dry smile on Mrs. Bai's face could hardly be hung up: "Tie Niu, after all, we are also a family, even if the bones are broken, the tendons are still attached. It used to be bad for the second aunt, but isn't the second aunt unable to do anything? What kind of life is it that no one knows about, don't you know? We have never had a lot of money, so we haven't been of any help to you. Today, the second aunt is forced to talk to you. , Hasn't the second aunt never came to beg you on weekdays?"
Bai Tie Niu snorted coldly: "I, Bai Tie Niu, have asked Second Aunt you twice in my life. Have you ever helped me, Second Aunt? Forget it, I won't talk about the past, and I don't have the time to talk about it with you. In short, it is impossible to borrow rice, but you are my second aunt after all, if you are willing to pay for it, I am not unable to accommodate."
The old lady Bai had that anger in her heart, but she couldn't let it out. Who told her to ignore it first?
"Then how much is your rice?" Liu asked.
"One stone?" Bai Tie Niu's voice was much higher, a little exaggerated.
"I can't afford a stone of rice. I went to the city today and bought a total of two buckets of rice, two dollars and one bucket of silver. If you want it, I will give you a bucket of rice, and the travel expenses are not considered. Who made you my second aunt? Woolen cloth?"
Liu's voice immediately rose, "What? Two coins for a fight? Why don't you go grab it?"
Bai Tie Niu immediately sank his face and said angrily: "Liu Guihua, you are so capable, go to the city tomorrow to see who's rice shop still sells rice, not to mention two coins, just one tael of silver. You can't even buy a bucket, believe it or not."
A large number of refugees came from the south. Everyone knows this. When the refugees came, the price of rice rose. The rich began to stock up on grain. A normal thing.
This kind of thing has not happened before, everyone knows it well.
The old lady Bai is here to borrow rice, she is clearly pretending to be confused.
Mrs. Bai frowned and said, "Two cents of silver is a bucket of rice. This is too expensive. In the past, two cents of silver could buy a stone of rice."
Bai Tie Niu snorted coldly: "In the past? Is it in the past? Come on, if you don't buy it, hurry up and leave, I don't have time to delay you here."
Bai Tie Niu was about to close the door after saying this, and the old lady Bai was heartbroken and said, "Buy it, I'll buy it, measure me a bucket of rice."
On weekdays, she wouldn't buy it at all, but now she's really hungry. If she doesn't eat a meal today, she might not have the strength to get up tomorrow. Besides, now that the price of rice is rising, she will survive the night. , tomorrow may not be able to buy cheap rice.
The corners of Bai Tie Niu's lips were slightly hooked, and a smug and cheerful smile appeared on his face.
"Okay, you wait." He turned around and entered the room, and came out after a while, holding a cloth bag in his hand, which contained a bucket of rice that had just been measured.
He didn't rush to give the rice to the old lady, he stretched out his hand and said, "Two coins, bring it here."
The old lady laughed dryly: "It's all a family, how can I spare you? I'll send it to you another day."
Bai Tie Niu shook his head: "This can't be done, I can trust others, but I can't trust you. Paying money with one hand and rice with one hand, there is no negotiation."
The old lady's little trick has been used many times in the village, and many people have suffered from her losses. If this white iron cow can still believe her, it is really stupid.
