Chapter 174 Selling the Chicken

Pushing the envelope even further, that's probably it.

"Cough cough cough..."

"Little lady, I...cough cough cough..."

"It's too cold."

"If I take off the clothes I'm wearing and wrap them in cotton, I'm afraid I'll carry the cotton into the ground."

Hearing what he said was pitiful and coughing as if he was about to die, Bai Wei gave it to him anyway.

However, you can't really give it.

"The cotton is given to you for free, but the frame is not free. I can lend it to you. When you get home, remember to come to Shanghe Village to return the frame to me when you have time."

"Okay." The man nodded: "I don't know what to call the little lady, I..." The man raised his head and was about to say his words of promise, but he quickly stopped talking when he saw the woman's attire.

The words circled on the tip of his tongue and he said: "I will definitely repay you."

"Yeah." Bai Wei nodded, not caring about repayment.

With a little regret in his heart, he repeatedly told the man: "Shanghe Village, Fang Hai's house."

After agreeing to borrow the frame, they parted ways. Bai Wei was distracted on the way back to the village and unknowingly forgot to test the road.

"Ouch——"

Suddenly, the sound of a donkey howling in pain brought Bai Wei back from her thoughts.

He shook his head repeatedly and stopped thinking about the frame.

In order to save the donkey, she looked around and saw snowflakes splashing on the snow-covered slopes. There were streaks of friction, and her heart skipped a beat.

Is there anyone who fell there?

Bai Wei thought about it, and after searching for a while, there was a way down. However, the road was from the past.

Now covered by white snow, she could only carefully explore the road pit and go down.

Step by step, I was trembling as I walked.

Suddenly, my feet slipped, and my hands with nowhere to rest fell on the white snow, and my whole body slid down like a wooden board.

"Bang."

After a while, it stopped.

Bai Wei raised her head, her hands were so cold that she quickly sat up and looked around. It turned out to be a dry field.

The cold white snow submerged the true nature of the field ridges, and Bai Wei did not dare to walk around at will.

He saw his donkey and a carriage. There was someone unconscious beside the carriage.

Bai Wei was anxious but didn't dare to move.

She called out to the person several times, but when there was no response, she still carefully explored where to step and slowly walked over.

"Is it... Shopkeeper Wu?"

As she walked to the carriage, she passed her donkey and helped it up.

Lead the donkey and walk carefully.

Arriving in front of the carriage, Bai Wei woke up the coachman and opened the carriage curtain covered with a thick layer of snow:

"Shopkeeper Wu, shopkeeper Wu, wake up quickly... Shopkeeper Wu... wake up."

After calling again and again, Bai Wei's frozen hands could only pull at the snow. Only then did she realize that the rolling carriage had broken down and shopkeeper Wu was half-lying in the snow.

Bai Wei didn't dare to neglect, and shouted to the driver who was wandering around with a confused look on his face: "Save people quickly, or if you don't save them, your boss will kill you."

"Yes, yes."

The two of them worked together and finally pulled out shopkeeper Wu.

The man still didn't wake up, so he could only ride his donkey back to the village.

As for the carriage, the horse fell from a height and was already cold.

When Shopkeeper Wu woke up, he almost couldn't breathe. Because of this, he agreed to do business with Bai Wei.

The whole village's chickens were sold, but it took a lot of effort to send them to Shopkeeper Wu. For this reason, the strong men in the village sent them there spontaneously.

As for what I said before, after this snow, Shopkeeper Wu will never come here again to collect.

Bai Wei's family had a lot of chickens. After the villagers finished picking their own chickens, they picked some for hers.

From Shanghe Village to the market, the soft white snow turned into ice cubes all the way.

"ah--"

"Everyone, be careful."

"The ground is slippery."

Watching people supporting each other along the way, Bai Wei was filled with gratitude.

At the end of the day, several people fell and were injured, so she took out the best trauma medicine and used it on them.

At night, with the oil lamp lit, Bai Wei sat on the bed and counted money.

"Go to sleep." Fang Hai covered her with a quilt: "If I keep counting, it will still be the same number."

"I know." Bai Wei changed her position, lying on her stomach, with both hands on the abacus, up and down. "I have to calculate how much net profit we make after deducting costs and labor costs."

"good."

However, after finishing the calculation, Bai Wei covered her face.

"What's wrong?" Fang Hai looked at her, "Didn't you make any money?"

"Um."

Bai Wei nodded.

"It's charcoal fire."

"How do you know?" Bai Wei sat up in surprise. The quilt inadvertently moved aside, and the cold wind blew over, making her shiver.

"Lie down." Fang Hai pulled her to lie down: "There are a lot of chickens, but it's too much charcoal to apply on the chickens. It's not cost-effective to add up the whole thing."

"Fang Hai, to be honest, did you already know that my business was destined to lose money this time?"

Fang Hai didn't say a word.

Bai Wei looked up angrily, only to see someone closing his eyes and purring.

"Asshole, you knew this was going to be the result, but you didn't remind me, causing me to waste time and money, and now I'm wasting a favor."

Unexpectedly, as soon as the snoring in my ears stopped, someone stopped pretending.

"I said you won't believe it. Only if you actually take action can you know that business is not that easy."

"You are still reasonable."

"Yes." Fang Hai took the silver coins and abacus away and blew out the lamp: "If you continue to calculate, the result will still be the same, but... the gas cost will make you feel bad."

Bai Wei glanced at the position where the flames were submerged, and her sharp eyes discovered that there was a lot of oil missing.

Hmm...my body hurts.

her money.

After today, Bai Wei decided that if it wasn't dark in the future, she would immediately call for dinner, wash up, and then go to bed.

Unexpectedly, the next day, when my brother was packing up his things after breakfast, Bai Wei was shocked when she remembered Aunt Liu's nagging words.

"Could it be that my brother thinks he is a burden and wants to go home?"

Thinking about it, Bai Wei hurriedly shouted, but she didn't expect her brother to see her shy words.

"Sister, Brother Li said that winter snow is coming, which is perfect for catching big fish. I won't be back in the next few days."

"Go to the mountains?"

She had always known that in the winter, hunters would go to live in the mountains while their prey hibernated, waiting for their prey.

But I didn't expect that my brother would go.

"Go ahead."

She didn't stop him. After all, he wanted to be a hunter, so he had to learn how to hunt.

Bai Wei prepared a pile of dry food, cotton clothes and trousers, and quilts for her brother.

Braving the cold wind, I sent my brother off.

When we arrived at the entrance of the village, men from every household, including not hunters, also set out.

After watching them all out of sight, everyone went home.

Bai Wei returned home and found her daughter shivering from the cold.

"Yuanyuan, where are your clothes?"

I felt sorry for my daughter and refused to send her to the big tree at the entrance of the village. Unexpectedly, when I came back, her big cotton-padded coat was gone.

"Mother..." Yuanyuan sniffed, tears falling down her cheeks: "I thought I was cold and took away my cotton-padded coat."

"Ah, right? Go find her."

That little girl is used to bullying others.

She didn't have that dream before, and she still felt aggrieved. At that time, Yuanyuan was often bullied. But at that time... she always told Yuanyuan not to cause trouble.
