At the same time, Li Xiaoran was also puzzled.
She really did not expect White Foothill City, which wasnt that big, to be a
place with so many hidden talents.
There were coal mines and even a cattle farm in such an inconspicuous place.
Speaking of which, this cattle farm was really well-hidden!
If not for Wu Qinghes divination, she wouldnt have come to the deep mountains.
In the end, she met Li Qiuxiang and received news of this cattle farm.
She wondered if all of this was predestined.
Because it was raining, there was nothing to do, so everyone chatted for a while.
At night, Wu Dadong asked someone to make a table of good dishes to entertain Li Xiaoran and the others.
After eating and drinking their fill, they went to rest.
At night, Li Xiaoran let Zi Zheng and Wu Qinghe return to their rooms to rest! With Shu Ruyue around, she could adapt to any situation. They didnt have to keep guarding here.
Besides, as humans, they needed to rest as well.
They needed to rest well tonight, since they had important things to do tomorrow.
Because Li Xiaoran insisted, Zi Cheng and Wu Qinghe could only go to the guest room next door to rest.
Fortunately, it was a peaceful night. All four of them slept soundly.
Early the next morning, Wu Dadong and Li Qiuxiang came over.
At this moment, the rain outside had stopped.
Wu Dadong already found out that Li Xiaoran was here to look for cows at dinner yesterday, so he came with Li Qiuxiang today.
Xiaoran, I cant make the decision about the cows. If you really want cows or milk, you have to talk to my grandfather about this! Wu Dadong went straight to the point.
Its only right. After staying in this residence for so long, its time to pay respects to the elders! Li Xiaoran said with a smile.
Wu Dadong had the same intention. Seeing that Li Xiaoran had suggested it, he naturally agreed with a smile.
After the group ate breakfast, they went to see the head of the Wu family, Wu Changxin, under Wu Dadongs lead.
Along the way, Li Xiaoran finally saw how big the Wu familys house was.
Previously, she had only seen a portion of the periphery.
The Wu familys house was divided into several parts. It looked messy, but it was actually quite orderly.
Every layout in the house was carefully planned.
An idea flashed across Wu Qinghes mind.
Mr. Wu, your familys house was built according to the Taiji Eight Trigrams Array, right?
When Wu Dadong saw that Wu Qinghe could tell, he immediately nodded with a smile. Youre really impressive! Thats right, our familys house was built according to the Taiji Eight Trigrams Array! It was all thanks to the efforts of generations of the Wu family that we were able to build such a layout! Your family is really impressive! Li Xiaoran said in admiration.
As they spoke, they arrived at the main hall of the Wu familys home.
After walking into the main hall, Wu Dadong gestured for everyone to sit down. Then, tea was served.
Please wait a moment. The Old Master will be here soon! A young man walked forward and said.
When Wu Dadong saw this young man, he introduced, Hes my brothers eldest son, Wu Chuang. Usually, when my father isnt feeling well, Wu Chuang handles everything!
Seems like hes young and promising! Li Xiaoran nodded at Wu Chuang with a smile.
Wu Chuang cupped his hands at Li Xiaoran as he said, Madam, youre too polite!
At this moment, an old man walked in with the help of a young man.
It was obvious that he was the head of the Wu family, Wu Changxin.
Seeing this, Li Xiaoran quickly stood up.
After Old Master Wu sat down, Li Xiaoran smiled and cupped her hands at him.
Greetings, Old Master Wu!
Youre the benefactor who saved my seventh sons wife? I heard that you want to buy cows? Old Master Wu was in low spirits, so he went straight to the point!
Li Xiaoran nodded and asked with a smile, Thats right. If the Wu familys cows can produce enough milk, were willing to buy milk! If theres not enough milk, we want to buy cows! I wonder which method of cooperation you think is better, Old Master Wu?
Old Master Wu lowered his head and pondered for a moment before asking,
I wonder how much milk do you need?
Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and asked, I wonder if the Wu family can deliver them to our door? I see that you have some wooden buckets here. If theyre delivered to our door every day, well need a lot. At first, we might need buckets every day, but the more the better! Li Xiaoran was not lying to the Wu family.
There were many places where milk could be used.
It was not just milk tea. Many modern pastries and food needed milk as an ingredient as well.
Therefore, the more milk there was, the better.
Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and said, However, before buying it, I have to confirm the quality of your milk. If the quality doesnt meet my requirements, I wont buy it! Also, there are high requirements for canned milk. If the Wu family uses some spoiled milk to fool me, I wont accept the milk!
When the woman heard Li Xiaorans words, she immediately smiled.
If thats the case, we wont sell the milk. After all, the risk is too high! On account that you saved our seventh sons wifes life, Ill sell two cows to you, one male and one female. Go breed them yourselves!
When Li Xiaoran heard Old Master Wus words, the expression on her face did not change.
Thats fine!
When Zi Zheng and Shu Ruyue heard this, their expressions turned ugly.
Old Master Wu was clearly patronizing them!
In that case, Dadong, go to the cow farm and bring two cows over! One cow costs 500 taels of silver, and two cows cost 1,000 taels of silver. I wonder if you guys can afford them? Old Master Wu said.
Li Qiuxiang frowned slightly when she heard this.
This was because the price was clearly too high.
Li Qiuxiang clearly said that Xiaoran was her savior, but her father-in-law still treated them like this. This made Li Qiuxiang very uncomfortable.
Zi Zheng could not tolerate Li Xiaoran being bullied by others. Just as he was about to reveal his ident.i.ty, Li Xiaoran stopped Zi Cheng with a look.
Old Master Wu, isnt 1,000 taels of silver a little expensive?! Why dont we each take a step back? How about 500 taels of silver for two cows?! Li Xiaoran asked with a smile.
Old Master Wu said, Youre quite greedy! You want to pay five hundred taels of silver for things worth a thousand taels of silver? Its not good to be too
greedy!
