At the same time, Li Xiaoran was also puzzled.
She really did not expect White Foothill City, which wasn’t 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 Qinghe’s divination, she wouldn’t 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 didn’t 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 can’t 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.
“It’s only right. After staying in this residence for so long, it’s 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 Dadong’s lead.
Along the way, Li Xiaoran finally saw how big the Wu family’s house was.
Previously, she had only seen a portion of the periphery.
The Wu family’s 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 Qinghe’s mind.
“Mr. Wu, your family’s 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. “You’re really impressive! That’s right, our family’s 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 family’s 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, “He’s my brother’s eldest son, Wu Chuang. Usually, when my father isn’t feeling well, Wu Chuang handles everything!”
“Seems like he’s young and promising!” Li Xiaoran nodded at Wu Chuang with a smile.
Wu Chuang cupped his hands at Li Xiaoran as he said, “Madam, you’re 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!”
“You’re the benefactor who saved my seventh son’s 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, “That’s right. If the Wu family’s cows can produce enough milk, we’re willing to buy milk! If there’s 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 they’re delivered to our door every day, we’ll 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 doesn’t meet my requirements, I won’t buy it! Also, there are high requirements for canned milk. If the Wu family uses some spoiled milk to fool me, I won’t accept the milk!”
When the woman heard Li Xiaoran’s words, she immediately smiled.
“If that’s the case, we won’t sell the milk. After all, the risk is too high! On account that you saved our seventh son’s wife’s life, I’ll sell two cows to you, one male and one female. Go breed them yourselves!”
When Li Xiaoran heard Old Master Wu’s words, the expression on her face did not change.
“That’s 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 identity, Li Xiaoran stopped Zi Cheng with a look.
“Old Master Wu, isn’t 1,000 taels of silver a little expensive?! Why don’t 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, ‘You’re quite greedy! You want to pay five hundred taels of silver for things worth a thousand taels of silver? It’s not good to be too
greedy!”
