n82 Buying an Ox-cart

nLi Xiao was surprised to see Lin Xiaoyue looking at the oxen.

nHe was even more surprised when he saw Lin Xiaoyue tell the shop owner that she wanted to buy an ox that could pull the cart.

nIf he remembered correctly, this girl had just spent 40 taels of silver to buy him and Qing’er, and now she wanted to buy an ox cart?

nThe farmers in Qingshi Town were so rich?

n“Boss, help me take a look. Which of these two oxen is better?” Li Xiao was still thinking when Lin Xiaoyue smiled at him not far away.

nBoss? She called him boss?

nLin Xiaoyue saw Li Xiao frozen and instantly realized that there was something wrong with the way she addressed him.

n“Uh..come here quickly,” she said to Li Xiao.

nLi Xiao walked toward Lin Xiaoyue.

n“What’s your name?” Lin Xiaoyue asked Li Xiao.

nOf course, she knew that his name was Li Xiao. But they just met in this era. If she called his name, he would definitely be suspicious.

nShe was not ready to tell her boss that she had transmigrated.

nUh, well, it seemed that even if she did, he might not remember her. After all, in her previous life…she was like a wallflower.

n“Li Xiao,” Li Xiao said in a low voice.

n“That’s my nephew Xiao Qing on my back,” he introduced the boy on his back.

nLin Xiaoyue paused.

nThen she laughed, the kind of laughter that came from the bottom of her heart.

n“Haha, so…Xiao Qing is a boy?” She could not help but say happily.

nSo, after the apocalypse, so many women were jealous of Xiao Qing, but they were completely wrong? Xiao Qing was actually a boy!

nXiao Qing, who was on Li Xiao’s back, had a stiff expression.

nWhat did she mean by “Xiao Qing is a boy?” Did he look like a woman?

nSensing that Li Xiao was looking at her with an expression that said “are you crazy?” and when Xiao Qing looked depressed, Lin Xiaoyue quickly stopped smiling.

n“Hehe, I’m just too happy. My name is Lin Xiaoyue. You can call me Xiaoyue from now on,” Lin Xiaoyue said cheerfully and reached out her hand to Li Xiao.

nLi Xiao looked at Lin Xiaoyue’s hand in confusion and frowned slightly.

nThen, Lin Xiaoyue looked embarrassed again and quickly withdrew her hand.

nCough, she was so happy that she forgot herself.

n“Cough… I actually came to town to buy a carriage. But because I spent money to buy you, the money for the carriage is not enough, so I can only buy an ox-cart. Do you know how to check the quality of an ox?” Lin Xiaoyue asked Li Xiao.

nOf course, she said this on purpose.

nShe didn’t have the money to buy a carriage because she wanted to buy him. So, you two must remember my kindness. Hehe, it’s best…if the boss can give himself to me…

nAs she said this, Lin Xiaoyue couldn’t help but look at Li Xiao again.

nLi Xiao felt weird when he was looked at by Lin Xiaoyue’s strange eyes.

n“No,” he said truthfully.

nHe knew how to look at the quality of horses, but he was indeed inexperienced when it came to oxen.

nA hint of disappointment immediately flashed across Lin Xiaoyue’s face, and then she turned to look at the two oxen in the cattle pen that she had set her eyes on.

nShe randomly picked one and said to the shop owner, “this one then.”

nThen, she bargained with the shop owner and bought the cart. In the end, the deal was settled at 28 taels of silver.

nAfter Lin Xiaoyue paid the money, the shop owner brought out the ox that Lin Xiaoyue wanted. Then, he and the shop assistant helped Lin Xiaoyue set up the ox-cart.

nLooking at the first ox-cart she owned, Lin Xiaoyue was a little excited.

nAfter checking it out, she put the basket down.
