Chapter 482: 482 Touching Tears of Qinghe 2
“Five taels of silver.” She answered honestly, “I had a cloth shop owner ask someone to buy it for me in Liuan Town.”
“That’s too expensive… even if it were one or two taels of silver, most families couldn’t afford to spend that much… I heard that the cheapest wheelchairs still cost three taels. Why not buy a cheaper one instead?”
“You get what you pay for. It’s more expensive, but there must be a reason for it.”
“True,” Wang Crippled sighed, “Although Qinghe’s legs don’t work, you treat him well, making him a fortunate child.”
On the surface, Su Qingyue thought Wang Crippled was only praising her for taking good care of Qinghe, not giving it much thought, “We’re family after all, it’s only natural.”
“It’s rare that you don’t mind…” Wang Crippled truly thought highly of Qingyue, as most women wouldn’t be able to handle having a disabled husband without complaining all the time.
“Why would I mind? Qinghe is such a good person.” Su Qingyue put the wheelchair on the cow’s car, asked Wang Crippled to help watch it for a moment, and went back to the vegetable market to pick up a basket of pig offal.
There were about 100 jin of offal in the whole basket. The pork fat man had charged her one cent per jin for the offal, previously agreed upon to sell at half a cent per jin, but he wouldn’t sell for half a cent anymore and charged her one cent per jin instead.
Su Qingyue didn’t say anything about it.
From the 200 cents she prepaid, 20 were for the basket deposit, and another 10 were for the favor, in addition to the 100 cents spent on offal, the pork fat man was supposed to give her back 70 cents.
However, instead of accepting the change, Su Qingyue added another 30 cents, asking him to continue purchasing pig offal for her tomorrow.
The amount she got today was large, and she estimated that tomorrow would be about the same.
As for the ten cents favor fee tomorrow, she would naturally give it then.
Not wanting others to know she bought a whole basket of offal, Su Qingyue also bought four cents worth of vegetables and spread them on top of the basket. They didn’t have any place to grow their own vegetables, so they needed to buy them anyway.
Wang Crippled wasn’t going back until four o’clock in the afternoon when he had finished waiting for the customers.
Su Qingyue thought about leaving the large basket of offal for half a day in the hot weather, which would make it smelly. In addition, while there were few people returning from the village in the morning, it might not be the same after a day, as some had left the village a few days earlier or were going to visit relatives in Wushan Village.
With more people and the wheelchair taking up space, she would have to pay an additional three cents for the car fee.
Of course, it was also possible that Wang Crippled would not get another customer after waiting all day.
Su Qingyue didn’t want to wait around, so she simply paid an extra fifteen cents to charter a car back.
The cow’s car slowly and gently headed towards Wushan Village, and since it was hot at noon, Wang Crippled wasn’t in the mood to sing mountain songs anymore.
The little bastard quietly stayed on the cow’s car, and the little wolf rested its head on Su Qingyue’s lap.
The little rascal had been excitedly watching the town’s sights, but now it seemed thirsty, its tongue hanging down and panting heavily.
Su Qingyue didn’t bring a water pot with her when she left, so both master and dog had to endure their thirst until they got home and had something to drink.
By the time they got back to the village, it was about two o’clock in the afternoon.
A few villagers by the roadside saw the items on the cow’s car and said, “What’s that? What’s that piece of cloth covering?”
“It looks like a chair…”
“What’s the point of covering a chair with cloth…?”
More people noticed, but Su Qingyue didn’t respond.
As the cow’s car entered the Xiao family’s courtyard, Xiao Yishan was waiting at the entrance of the courtyard once again.
“Awoo… Awoo…” The little bastard jumped down from the cow’s car, quickly ran over, stood up on its front paws, wagging its tail on one side.
