Chapter 39 (1/2)

The next morning, the speed of dressing for all four of them was much slower than usual.

It was because they all slept too late last night. The morning clock rang outside in the morning. The four people sat on the bunk and couldn’t wake up for a long time. But the last one to wake up was Xue TingRang. By the time he fell asleep last night, the other three were already asleep.

They went listlessly all the way to the dining hall for breakfast, and then went to the lecture hall. Meng Xian Sheng was preaching in front, and the four roommates had to work hard to avoid falling asleep in class.

After spending the whole morning like this, Mao Badou still didn’t take it seriously, but Chen Jian said seriously: “No matter how good the scripts are, we can’t do that again. Don’t forget the quarterly exam is in two months.”

When they remembered this, the few people were all agitated, and Mao Badou sullenly said: “I don’t care, I can’t learn at all, who knows if I can survive til then.”

Li Datian also looked hesitant. The two of them had forgotten their previous excitement.

“If you want that Gu Ming to trample you under his feet forever and even if in the future you stop studying and go home, there will be someone by your ear saying that you are inferior to Gu Ming, you just continue to do that.” Xue TingRang suddenly interjected .

“I guess many people are waiting to see our embarrassment, but I don’t care. It’s up to you.” Chen Jian said.

It is not a future speculation but has already begun.

After the canteen turmoil, the four offended a group of Class A students led by Yu Ziyou and Hu Lianshen. Nowadays, few students in Class B are willing to talk to the four. In the past, Mao Badou was very popular in the academy, but now when people see him, if they can hide, they hide, and if they can’t hide, then they walk around him.

This is also the reason why Mao Badou was willing to work hard with the three before. Because no one wanted to play with him anymore, he could only stay in the dorm. Who ever thought about making a notebook again now, and seeing that breath was vented.

“Anyway, I am not particularly interested in these scripts, so I will go with you.” Li Datian said.

Since then, the two-on-two had become the three-on-one, and Mao Badou can only droop his head and say: “Then let’s not look at them anymore.”

At this time, Xue TingRang cleared his throat: “Leave the book for me.”

“Even I’m not gonna look at them anymore, yet you are still gonna read them? It’s over! I’ve led TingRang down the wrong path.”

Xue TingRang glanced at him: “Of these people, your concentration is the weakest. You won’t be able to resist if the book is left with you. After I go back later, lock all the books in my locker. It’s not impossible, I will supervise you.”

With a few words of effort, Xue TingRang changed from a conspirator to a custodian, and he could even say that he would have possession of these scripts.

Mao Badou was shocked by his solemn expression, thinking that TingRang was really loyal, completely forgetting who was the last to sleep with the lamp last night. Only Chen Jian seemed to be aware and glanced at Xue TingRang.

Not to mention here, on the other side, Zhao’er and the two others went to buy a mule.

It was also a coincidence that someone happened to be selling one.

It is a black-brown horse mule, just over two years old,and looking at the teeth and eyes, it was very healthy.

There are also distinctions between mules. The mules are divided into horse mules and donkey mules. Like Daqing is a donkey mule. It is born from the mating of a male horse and a female donkey. The shape and color of the mule follow the donkey. It is larger than the ordinary donkey, and has strong endurance and is good at running.

Other the other hand, a horse mule is born from the mating of a mare and a male donkey, and its shape and color follow the horse. The horse mule is big and has a good load. Although it is not as good as a cow, it is still very good. At the same time, it has a speed that a cow does not.

The only thing is that mules are born hybrids, so they have no ability to reproduce from birth. Therefore, the general sellers of mules, except for resale, are only dealers who sell such animals.

And this mule seller needs money since he has encountered difficulties in his family, so he came out to sell the most valuable animal that the family possessed.

Jiang Wu’s family often deals with livestock.When he saw the mule and he said it was ok, then they decided upon the mule. After asking the price, the seller’s family really needed the money, so the price was not high. In fact, the price was pretty low. Generally, horse mules are more expensive than donkey mules, but the price of this horse mule is about the same as that of donkey mules, only 25 liang.

The reseller didn’t look like a liar, so Zhao’er decided to buy it without a counter-offer.

This man was also honest, and since the mule was gone, he also gave them the mule cart as well. However, this cart was somewhat different from what Zhao’er had wanted, but since it was given for free, they took it. It wasn’t a big deal to use this cart first and create a new cart in the future.

After that, the three drove two mule carts to Yuqing Village.

As soon as they entered the village, countless people gathered around, looking at them.

The Jiang family has a mule cart, and the villagers have known for a long time that it is common for people to borrow the Jiang family’s mule cart for urgent matters. Now they saw that there was another one, and the person who drove the cart was the Fourth of the Xue family. The village suddenly exploded, and one after another gathered around to inquire about the details.

The country folks are like this. Once someone buys something expensive, the whole village will know in a while. They are very enthusiastic and can’t wait to get to the bottom of how they can be so rich.

Generally, there is nothing bad, just curiosity, and of course some are jealous. However, in Yuqing Village, the surnames of Xue and Zheng are the most common surnames. Even if the people of Xue surname are jealous, they seem extremely happy on the surface. They can’t wait to advertise that they have talents, but others don’t.

So before Xue Qinghuai and others came back, the Xue family knew that they had bought a mule cart, and it was the fourth son Xue Qinghuai who brought it back.

The Yang Shi kept walking to the private school in the village. This private school was built on the edge of the Xue family’s ancestral hall, not far from the home of the elder Xue. Back then, Xue Qingshan wanted to open a private school. Father Xue planned to let him open it at home. Later, Patriarch Xue personally went to Zheng Lizheng, and asked the village to build a house for the homestead in the name of the great benefit to the village. He spoke again in person, and the clan pooled money to build two tiled houses.

Although it is a little crude, the Xue clan can be considered to have a patriarchy. The other children in the village who want to go to school have a place to go now, so there is no need to get up early and go to other villages.

When Yang SHi came to the private school, Xue Qingshan was dozing off in another room.

The action of her pushing the door awakened him immediately.

“You are still sleeping, how can you sleep! Fourth brother bought a cart. No wonder he was so anxious to separate from the family. It turned out that he hid private savings. And dad still says that Fourth brother works the hardest for the family, but is the least greedy for money!”

Xue Qingshan was taken aback for a moment, and then said disapprovingly: “It’s just a cart; it won’t cost that much.”

“Not a cow cart, but a mule cart!”

This sentence immediately made him stand up from his chair.

Xue Qinghuai and Zhao’er both laughed til their faces became stiff, and finally was able to drive the cart back.

It’s really all folks from the village. Buying a car is different from other things. It’s also a big happy event. When people greet you, it is part of etiquette to greet them back. If you do not, then the villagers will say you have no manners and look down on the villagers just because you have money. But having to deal with them one by one is really exhausting.
