Mom takes her baby to travel through ancient times? Farming and business are both important

Chapter 172 Preparing to Buy an Ox Cart

I think the frostbite on my hands was caused by carrying things on the way to deliver the goods. It seems I need to think of a way.

"Brother, take a rest. I'll get you some hot water. Take a bath."

Bai Zhizhi said this and quickly walked out to get a basin of water.

Zhou Changjiang did not refuse. His hands were indeed a little frozen after walking all the way back, so it was a good idea to soak them so that he could work later.

Bai Zhizhi naturally didn't know what she was thinking, she was just thinking about how to avoid this situation.

It seems that we should put the matter of buying an ox cart on the agenda.

Bai Zhizhi thought about it and expressed her idea during dinner.

"Third sister-in-law, it's easy for us to talk. We don't even know how much it costs to buy an ox cart. Where can we get so much money?" Liu said in a bad tone.

Of course, she also saw the frostbite on her man's body, but what else could she do? She couldn't just spend all her family savings for her man.

All the money in their house is saved for their children to go to school.

Zhou Changjiang followed suit and said, "Third sister-in-law, we know you are thinking about us, but we really can't come up with that much money. Why don't we just forget it?"

Zhou Changhe also nodded and said, "Yeah, my brother and I will wear thicker clothes from now on. It will be fine. The frostbite on your hands is not a big deal. It will be fine when the weather gets warmer."

The two old men just sat there quietly without saying a word.

Of course, they also felt sorry for their son, so they could just do what the third son's wife said and buy the ox cart.

But just like the eldest son's wife said, they didn't have that much silver in the house. Even if they were really asked to take it out, they would probably lose all their family assets.

Although the old couple had saved some money, it was their last resort. If they used it all up to buy a bullock cart, they would be left with nothing to do if a disaster or illness happened in the future.

Looking at the gradually heavy atmosphere in the room, Bai Zhizhi sighed softly.

"Mom and Dad, Big Brother, Second Brother, Big Sister-in-law, I know what you are worried about. Just listen to what I have to say first."

Bai Zhizhi rubbed her son's head and said, "You all know that I love my son. Ruibao is still so young, and it hurts me to see him walking in such cold weather every day."

Bai Zhizhi didn't care about the changes in expression on everyone's faces and just continued speaking.

"Brother, my second brother has to walk such a long way to deliver goods to the city every day. It's not so bad now, but it will be more inconvenient when the weather gets colder. Especially now that my hands have frostbite, what if it gets worse in the future?

So I thought, why not buy an ox cart.

Of course, this idea was my own, and it was difficult to ask my family for the money, so I thought I could use my own money to buy a bullock cart for the family. After all, I still need to ask my eldest and second brothers to help me pick up Ruibao from school."

Bai Zhizhi's words were very sensible and almost impossible to find fault with.

Zhou Changsheng wanted to say something, but when he met the gazes of his two daughters-in-law, he swallowed his words back.

"Zhizhi is so thoughtful. You want to add a big guy to the family. We can't hold you back. Since you bought the ox cart for the boss Zhou Changhe and his men, I will make a windproof shed for the cart. Your mother and I will pay for it."

Bai Zhizhi naturally had no reason to disagree, so she smiled and nodded, "Dad is really thoughtful. I'll listen to you then. I'll go to the city tomorrow to take a look."

Zhou Changsheng naturally had no objection.

Seeing that they didn't have to pay for it themselves, the Liu family members lowered their heads silently.

They are not heartless people. Since they cannot pay, they will contribute their labor and let their men work hard, and they will never delay their business.

After the discussion, everyone quickly dispersed and went back to their rooms to sleep.

The next morning, Bai Zhizhi got up early.

After lunch, a few people went to the city in the morning breeze.

Feeling the biting cold wind along the way, Bai Zhizhi couldn't help shivering.

Buying an ox cart was indeed the right decision.

After entering the city and sending Ruibao to school, Bai Zhizhi asked her two brothers about the location of the pawnshop.
