Ch5 - Meeting Zhang Cui Again

Zhang Family Village was a poor village with only one ox cart. Zhang Laoliu’s ox cart was the only means of transportation for the villagers to go to Shuangyang Town. The ox cart would leave early in the morning, return to the village late, and go back and forth to the town for four taels of silver. If you ride alone, you have to pay for the four taels yourself. However, if several people ride together, each person could save some money. Therefore, many times everyone would go to town with a companion so that you could spend less money on fare!

When Liu Mufeng arrived at Zhang Laoliu’s house, the other seven people had already boarded the ox cart, and Liu Mufeng was exactly the eighth person. 

“Everyone is here. Let’s go!” Looking at the crowd, Zhang Laoliu sat at the front of the ox cart and left Zhang Family Village.

Seeing Liu Mufeng sitting on the ox cart, Zhang Cui was stunned. “Brother Liu, are you going to town too?”

“Yeah, I’m going to town and look around!” After glancing at the other party, Liu Mufeng turned his face, closed his eyes and started to rest. Based on the original owner’s memory, it would take them a half an hour ride to the town. He didn’t want to be bothered by this Zhang Cui all the way.

“Oh!” Seeing that Liu Mufeng had already closed his eyes and looked unwilling to pay attention to her, Zhang Cui frowned. She didn’t pay attention to the other party anymore. She wondered if the Ninth Young Master actually has a long temper. Wouldn’t he pay attention to her? Does he really think he was still the young master of the Liu family? He’s nothing but a five-spiritual-root waste who was thrown outside of the family!

“Aiyah, we know lah!” The villagers responded, got off the cart one after another and handed over half a tael of their fare money to Zhang Laoliu.

Seeing Liu Mufeng walking over to pay the fare, Zhang Cui and his father followed behind Liu Mufeng. “Brother Liu, do you have any loose silver? I don’t have any loose silver now?”

“Oh, I don’t have any extra money. It’s just half a tael of silver!” He smiled helplessly at Zhang Cui. Liu Mufeng turned his head to look at Zhang Laoliu. “Uncle Six, this is my cart fare. I won’t go back tonight. You don’t have to wait for me.”

“Ninth Young Master, when are you going back? I’m going to the town tomorrow. So if you are coming back tomorrow, you can come and find me at the gate of the town!”

After knowing that it was not a round-trip fare, Zhang Laoliu was a little embarrassed to accept the half tael of silver. Thinking that if Liu Mufeng goes back to the village tomorrow, he can bring him back himself. 

“It’s okay, you don’t need to worry about me, I’m going far away, and I don’t know when I will return to the village!” Then, putting the silver in Zhang Laoliu’s hand, Liu Mufeng turned and left.

Zhang Cui was furious because Liu Mufeng only gave a fare for one person and did not help her pay for the cart fare. Previously, when they went to the town together, Liu Mufeng would always pay for the cart fare. But this time, this bastard didn’t pay for herself. It’s abominable!

Taking out a tael of silver, Zhang Cui’s father reluctantly paid for himself and his daughter’s cart fare and left with his daughter.

“What’s the matter? Did you and Liu Mufeng have a fight?” Old man Zhang asked as he looked at his daughter. 

“No, who knows what’s going on with him. Recently, I wanted to borrow a spirit stone from him, but he didn’t lend it to me!” When it came to this matter, Zhang Cui was particularly furious. She didn’t know what kind of wind Liu Mufeng encountered recently. He told her that his spirit stone was already spent, and now he was even unwilling to pay half a tael of silver for her cart fare.

Looking at his daughter’s ugly expression, old man Zhang narrowed his eyes. “Girl, are you hanging on him too hard? You should give him some sweetness when appropriate!”

“Father, do you want me to marry a five-spiritual trash who was abandoned by his family?” Looking at her father, Zhang Cui said dully. She was reluctant to marry a waste like Liu Mufeng!

“Consider it again. Didn’t you say that he was recently mending his relationship to return back to his family?” If Liu Mufeng could go back to the Liu family and marry his daughter, their Zhang family would be on the rise. However, if Liu Mufeng couldn’t go back to the Liu family, it’s another matter! 

“Oh!” Zhang Cui nodded when she heard this.
