Chapter 139 The Shadow of the Child
When the old man heard this, he straightened his back and responded enthusiastically: "Yes, I happen to have two fat cows and a sheep at home. Are you interested in buying them, girl?"
In fact, although there were many people asking for information throughout the morning, only a few actually intended to buy.
The old man insisted on selling the whole cow and refused to accept individual sales, which was indeed unaffordable for ordinary families.
At this time, an old lady who was familiar with Ran Wei's generosity quickly interrupted and said, "Old Li, you are really lucky today. This young lady is very generous. I think you will find a buyer for your cattle and sheep."
When Old Li heard this, a smile immediately appeared on his face.
He had made this trip with an attitude of giving it a try, and he knew very well that these cattle and sheep would be difficult to sell, but his family was in urgent need of money, especially as his eldest son was about to welcome a new baby and his youngest son's wedding was getting closer. Money had to be spent everywhere, so this was really a last resort.
"Yes, my family is in urgent need of money, and I really have no choice."
Old Li answered somewhat helplessly.
"Are you going to sell all your cattle and sheep?"
Ran He further confirmed that he had already started thinking about how to properly store the meat in case of emergency.
Flowers instantly blossomed between the wrinkles on Lao Li's face. It was a smile mixed with gratitude and excitement, and there was a light of disbelief in his eyes.
He originally thought that Ran He might just be curious, or just needed a small part of the family's livestock, but he didn't expect that the other party was willing to take on everything. This sudden good fortune was like a timely rain in summer, nourishing his long-dry heart.
"Oh, that's great! Girl, you've solved my urgent problem."
There was a hint of trembling in Lao Li's words, and he hastily put the sign in his hand into his lapel, as if it was a symbol of the accomplishment of a great event.
He turned around and led Ran He, his steps brisk. Although the road home was a little bumpy, in his opinion, there was a bright future ahead.
"Please follow me. Although our home is simple, the cattle and sheep are all taken care of by me and are very strong."
Walking through the slightly worn, moss-covered stone road, Lao Li's home comes into view - a weathered earthen house that has witnessed the vicissitudes of time, sitting alone at the entrance of the village, half-hidden by several old locust trees. It looks a bit lonely and yet stubborn.
The sunlight shines through the leaves, adding an imperceptible warmth to the scene.
"The situation at home is really embarrassing."
Old Li sighed, his voice mixed with helplessness and self-blame, "My eldest son's wife is about to give birth, and my youngest son is also at the age of marriage, but look at this house. I am an old man, and I really have no other way to help the family except these cattle and sheep."
As you step into the yard, you are greeted by a busy yet harmonious atmosphere of life.
Two women in simple clothes were squatting in front of a worn wooden board, picking vegetables with their nimble fingers. Occasionally they looked up and exchanged a few words, with faint smiles on their faces.
Next to her, a little girl was concentrating on kneading mud with her small hands, building her own little world. Her innocent look seemed to be able to purify the softest part of people's hearts.
"Old woman, come and see this kind girl who wants to buy our cattle and sheep. I will bring her back to see her."
Old Li shouted into the room, then bowed slightly to Ran He as a silent thank you for her understanding and help.
Ran He nodded slightly in greeting, his eyes gently sweeping across every corner, and a warm and complex feeling surged in his heart.
In this seemingly ordinary family, she saw the persistence of family affection and the difficulty of life, and also felt the greatness of the silent dedication of the parents for their children.
Following Lao Li's steps, the two walked into the cowshed.
Inside the shed, every cow and sheep looked exceptionally energetic, with shiny fur and a healthy glow in their eyes.
Lao Li's care for these lives is undoubtedly meticulous. Every laying of straw and every cleaning of drinking water reveals his care and persistence.
Faced with Ran He's direct and straightforward attitude, Lao Li rubbed his hands back and forth on his trouser legs, looking a little embarrassed.
Such a big business was almost unprecedented for him. Although he felt happy, he was also filled with anxiety and hesitation.
He was afraid that asking too high a price would scare away this rare buyer, but he also couldn't bear to let his hard work sell at a low price.
Ran He observed the man's words and expressions and had a plan in mind.
She proposed a price that was neither taking advantage of others nor relatively fair, trying to balance the interests of both parties.
"Twenty taels of silver for a cow, and fifteen taels for a sheep. This should be considered fair and reasonable."
When Mr. Li heard this, the joy in his heart was beyond words.
The price was far beyond his expectations. Fifty-five taels of silver was enough to solve a lot of problems at home.
He nodded quickly in agreement, fearing that this good luck would disappear in the blink of an eye.
Considering the inconvenience for a young woman like Ran He to carry cattle and sheep, Lao Li considerately offered to help send them home, but he had no idea that Ran He had her own plans.
She declined Lao Li's kindness, thinking of using her special abilities to directly put the cattle and sheep into the space to avoid trouble and waste of time.
The transaction was completed smoothly. When Ran He took out the heavy fifty-tael silver note from his sleeve, plus five taels of change, the whole courtyard was immersed in jubilation.
The smiles of the Li family were full of surprise and gratitude. They did not expect things to go so smoothly and the price was so fair. It was as if they were messengers sent by God to rescue them from their predicament.
When the little girl heard the noise, she pulled herself out of her little mud world and ran to Ran He. Her bright eyes were filled with reluctance and nostalgia for the cattle and sheep that had accompanied her growing up.
Ran He squatted down and gently rubbed the girl's face. Ripples appeared in his heart. He recalled the appearance of Dabao and Xiaobao when they were children, and his heart was filled with tenderness.
"Don't worry, little one, they will go to a new home and will be well taken care of."
Ran He's words were like the warm sunshine of spring, dispelling the haze in the little girl's heart.
Then, as if by magic, several colorful candies appeared in Ran He's hands. She handed them to the little girl with a smile: "Eat a candy, and your future days will be sweet."
At this moment, the air was filled with a warm and wonderful atmosphere, as if all the hardships were melted away by this simple happiness.
In that alien space, those candies emitting alluring luster are not expensive. They are like small rainbows, embedded in the cracks of time.
Ran He had generously exchanged a lot of things to make Dabao and Xiaobao happy, and she just threw the rest into that wonderful space and her pocket.
