By the time Lin Shu arrived, Lin Zheng had already driven the bullock cart over from the village chief's house.
Lin Rong breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was not feeling any discomfort.
"Xiao Shu, let Lin Zheng drive you to the county. I have to work in the fields, so I won't accompany you."
There was still a lot of work to do in the fields. Although she was worried, she couldn't leave the work in the fields behind. With Lin Zheng following her, she felt relieved.
Lin Shu thanked him again, and the three of them worked together to lift the black bear onto the bullock cart, and Lin Rongcai went to the ground with the hoe.
Lin Zheng got into the car and raised his whip, "Lin Shu, sit down quickly."
Lin Shu spread the straw he brought on the bullock cart and covered it tightly before sitting next to Lin Zheng.
The bullock cart moved slowly.
Lin Zheng glanced behind him, a little confused, "Hey, what did you do to cover it?"
This way, no one else could see the black bear, and she felt a little disappointed.
Although it was not her prey, she still wanted to show off.
"Black bears are eye-catching, but we have no power. It's better to keep a low profile."
Lin Zheng choked for a moment, and after thinking about it carefully, she felt it made sense.
"Let's take it to Fucheng and sell it. There are many rich people in Fucheng, so the price will definitely be higher there."
Lin Shu shook his head, "No, just go to the county seat. Go early and come back early."
The capital city is far away, and it will probably be late at night when we get back. Su Xin and Shen Shi'an will be scared at home.
Moreover, she also needs to purchase some things for home use, and it takes time to choose, so the county town is the best choice.
The two of them said nothing. Lin Shu looked at the cow's tail in front of him and kept circling it, finding it quite interesting.
When we arrived at the county seat, we had the city guards inspect us before we could enter.
Lin Zheng was about to go to the restaurant in the car, but Lin Shu quickly stopped him.
"Do you know the Xu Mansion in the county seat?"
"I know, that's the richest man in the county. You're not going to sell it there, are you?"
Lin Shu nodded, "Just go there."
"That's a rich family, and they have someone to buy everything they buy. Here..."
Lin Zheng was a little hesitant. If he went into someone else's house like this, would he be kicked out?
Lin Shu took the whip and lightly spanked the cow's butt, "Point in the direction to the back door of Xu Mansion."
Lin Zheng quickly snatched the whip back, still feeling terrified.
"I'll catch you, don't move!"
This cow was usually docile, but occasionally it would go crazy. She was afraid that Lin Shu, who couldn't do anything, would make the cow angry.
Lin Shu was not upset, thinking about the list of things he would buy later.
The two of them arrived at the back door of Xu's house. Lin Shu went up and knocked on the door, and a servant came out after a while.
The man looked them over and said impatiently, "Who are you looking for?"
"Last time the housekeeper asked me to leave some fresh and rare prey for her. I brought it as soon as I caught it. Please let the housekeeper know."
The servant straightened his face and said calmly, "Please wait a moment."
Lin Shu nodded.
Lin Zheng jumped off the bullock cart and asked in surprise: "Do you know the housekeeper of Xu Mansion?"
"Having done a business with her is considered acquaintance."
Selling a bucket of fish should be considered a business, not a scam.
Lin Zheng stared at Lin Shu with wide eyes, "Aren't you a scholar? Why did you suddenly start a business?"
She was shocked by Lin Shu again today. It was incredible enough to hit a black bear.
Unexpectedly, she actually did business with the richest man’s housekeeper!
That must have made a lot of money!
After a while, Butler Xu's voice came from behind the door.
"If it's really a rare prey, I won't argue with you. Just believe what others say. There's a long queue of people to see me. If I can see everyone, I'll be busy!"
The servant was on the verge of crying, "It really doesn't look like that man is a liar..."
He just went to report it, but Butler Xu actually said that he had never made an agreement with anyone to send prey to the house, and gave him a lesson.
The back door was completely opened, and Lin Shu took a step forward, "Housekeeper Xu."
Butler Xu looked over and saw that this man looked familiar.
"You want to sell exotic prey?"
"Exactly, I just got it today. I thought only the Xu family could afford it, so I sent it over quickly."
After Lin Shu finished speaking, he went to lift the straw of the bullock cart.
Butler Xu was also interested. There was something that only his family could buy. He walked to the bullock cart.
The straw was lifted, revealing a huge black bear carcass, and Butler Xu took three steps back in fright.
"Hiss! This is... a black bear!"
Lin Shu piled the straw in a corner and saw Butler Xu turned pale with fright.
"This bear has died. I wonder if Butler Xu is interested?"
This person was quite generous when she bought fish last time, and Lin Shu had a good impression of her.
Butler Xu patted his heart, she was really shocked just now.
It just so happened that the lady was going back home tomorrow, so this bear came at the right time.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Yes, I will give you three hundred taels, including the belt and fur."
Lin Zheng's heart almost jumped out of her chest, three hundred taels! Their family only saves three taels a year, and these three hundred taels are enough for his family to live for a hundred years!
Lin Shu was neither humble nor arrogant, "Okay, I just wonder if I can send new things to your house in the future?"
Three hundred taels sounds like a lot, but there are many places for her to spend money, and she will still have to do business in the future.
There are only advantages and no disadvantages in establishing a good relationship with the people in the Xu family.
Butler Xu smiled, with a flash of appreciation in his eyes. Although this man was dressed in ordinary clothes, he was polite and generous.
"But, you can just tell me your name when you come later."
Lin Shu crossed his fists and said, "I'm Lin Shu."
Butler Xu nodded with a smile and wrote down the name. This black bear was not easy to hunt, and he would probably be a promising one in the future. If he sells it well, he won't lose anything. Then he asked someone to move the black bear into his house.
"Ms. Lin, this is a three hundred tael silver note, please keep it."
"Thank you."
When the back door closed, Lin Zheng rushed over, eyes shining.
"This is a bank note! It's so thin!"
Lin Shu handed it forward and said, "Here it is for you to take a look at."
Lin Zheng reached out halfway and then retracted, "No, this is your money."
"I'll show you what you're thinking."
Lin Zheng blushed immediately, then carefully took the banknote and looked at it over and over.
A smile appeared on Lin Shu's lips. This second aunt's family was really upright.
One moment he was forcing her to pay back the money, and the next moment he was leading people up the mountain to look for her.
Favor is the hardest thing to repay...
She wiped the car board with straw to prevent the remaining blood stains from dripping to the ground.
Lin Zheng reluctantly returned the banknote to Lin Shu, not knowing when she would earn so much money.
"By the way, Lin Shu, let's go to the medical clinic to check on your body first."
Lin Shu: "Okay."
…
"The lady is in good health and there is nothing wrong with her."
This was the conclusion given by the doctor. Lin Shu ignored the startled Lin Zheng.
"Doctor, give me some ointment to remove scars, and some hand protection..."
Lin Shu carried the medicine out of the medical clinic and went straight to the bookstore.
"How come you're not injured? Your body looks like firewood, but you're so resistant to being beaten..."
Lin Shu shook his head and patted Lin Zheng, who was muttering, "I'm going to buy some books."
"Oh." Lin Zheng didn't like the atmosphere of the bookstore, so she waited for Lin Shu outside.
Lin Shu walked up to the shopkeeper and whispered: "Shopkeeper, do you have that kind of book?"
