Xue Dafu bought two skewers for three coins each and gave them to Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue looked at the candy in both her hands. She looked more like a child now. All she could do was suck it up and look at the sky for help.
“Should we go back directly or…?” Xue Erfu asked for his father’s opinion. If they went back directly, the road in front of them would be passable.
“No,” Xue Dafu said, “Let’s go to the market again and buy four kilograms of pork. Give your grandfather two kilograms, and we’ll eat two kilograms for our own.”
“We only get that for the New Year…” Xue Yifu swallowed his saliva and rubbed his hands together, looking extremely honest.
Xue Erfu also swallowed his saliva. Jiang Yue could tell that they had not eaten meat for a long time.
“Isn’t today a special day?” Xue Dafu chuckled. He laughed so hard that his eyes could not be seen.
“Agreed!” Xue Erfu and Xue Yifu agreed.
The pork was twelve coins per 500 grams, so four kilograms of pork was 48 coins. Xue Dafu’s family would never buy such luxurious food to eat, let alone buy four kilograms of meat.
Even during the new year, Xue Dafu’s family would only buy two kilograms of pork at most.
Today, he was really happy because the blind bear had sold for a hundred silver.
......
Jiang Yue followed them to the pork stall. When she saw Xue Dafu and the others buying the pork, she realized that the bones and pig offal were much cheaper than the meat.
Because there wasn’t much meat on the bones, it was only six coins. The internal organs and intestines were even cheaper, coins wens per 500 grams, and they were often unable to be sold.
Jiang Yue felt that the people here didn’t know what was good. The pork ribs were so delicious, but they only cost six coins per 500 grams.
When her family becomes richer in the future, she will definitely eat to her heart’s content.
After buying the pork, they got on the ox cart and went home.
When Jiang Yue and the others were still on their way back, the gossiping woman Wang Sufen had already returned to the village from the town. As soon as she arrived, she said to them, “This is bad, this is bad. I don’t know where this blind bear from Dafu came from, but he actually sold it for a hundred silver!”
“A hundred silver?!” Everyone’s eyes were about to pop out.
“Yes, yes, I heard it with my own ears. It can’t be wrong.” Wang Sufen said. “Say, where did Dafu get this bear from? This is the first time I’ve seen a bear.”
“His family’s fifth son hunted it,” someone told her.
After getting a general idea of the situation, Wang Sufen said, “What kind of dog sh*t luck does their family have to actually make a fortune in one go? In this village, which family has a hundred silver? Even the Tian family with a cow doesn’t have that much money.”
“Who said they didn’t deserve it?” Someone echoed in a sour tone. “They lived a hard life, and everyone in the village was better than them. Now, it’s the other way around.”
“They deserve the money.” Someone said.”Why don’t you go and talk to Meili about this?”
“Yes, yes, I’ll go now, I’ll go now.” Wang Sufen didn’t mind making a big deal out of it, so she really went. However, before he could reach Xue Dagui’s house, she ran into Li Hehua, who was getting water out of a well.
Wang Sufen immediately turned around and walked to Li Hehua with a big smile on her face. She said loudly, “Hehua, congratulations, congratulations. Your family’s bear was sold for a hundred silver. That’s so much money, congratulations!”
