59 A Cheap Cart

Old Man Shi’s face stiffened as he hesitated.

“I’ll give you three more copper coins!” Lin Xiaoyue quickly said.

“Okay! But you have a lot of goods. The fare to town will be six coins,” Old Man Shi said.

After all, with so much goods, he could only get one more person if he took her on, although there was a high probability that he wouldn’t be able to get more people after that.

!!

“Alright! Thank you so much!” Lin Xiaoyue quickly thanked him.

“You’re welcome! Come, let’s put them into the cart!” Old Man Shi said as he helped Lin Xiaoyue.

The two women asked about Lin Xiaoyue’s family when they heard “Ruyi Restaurant” and saw the amount of goods she had with her.

Lin Xiaoyue answered honestly, no longer hiding it like yesterday.

They had already left the Lin family, what was there to hide now?

After a while, the goods were all moved into the cart.

Lin Xiaoyue got into the car, and Old Man Shi was prepared to set off.

Seeing that Lin Yuanshan was looking at him, Old Man Shi asked, “hey, young man, there’s still room in the car. I’ll charge you two coins. Do you want to get in?”

Usually, it was three coins per person to go to town from Daishi Village, and five coins for two people. He would only charge more if the passenger had a lot of things.

But his cart couldn’t hold too many people with luggage now. This young man didn’t have many things, so he could take him with just two cents. Since they were heading to the same place, it would be nice to earn two more cents.

“No, thanks.” Lin Yuanshan immediately rejected him and even took two steps back. He looked as if he was afraid of Old Man Shi.

“Hehe.” Lin Xiaoyue laughed out loud.

“Grandpa Shi, forget about it. He is the scholar of the Lin family. He is too vain to save money.”

The two women in the carriage immediately looked at Lin Yuanshan with a strange look in their eyes.

When Old Man Shi heard this, he did not even look at Lin Yuanshan and directly got into the cart.

Then, he rode away.

Lin Yuanshan looked at the cart leaving, and the look in his eyes turned into hatred.

It was only after the cart had left that Old Man Shi began to rant.

“Hmph, a scholar? Isn’t he still provided for by his family?”

“He thinks it’s easy to make money? It’s only a short distance, and he didn’t bring any luggage, yet he’s not willing to walk.”

“Furthermore, he wouldn’t take the cart for two coins? How dare he look down on my cart…”

Lin Xiaoyue, who was listening, tried to suppress her laughter.

“Uncle Shi, you really empathize with the parents. If you fix up this cart and build a roof to cover it, I’m sure no one can look down on it,” a woman said with a smile.

A roof? What’s the use of that? If I did that, I’d have to charge the same as the other carts, where would you find a cheap ride then?” Old Man Shi replied.

Carts with a roof were slightly more expensive. It would cost three coins per person, and if there was too much luggage, it cost an additional three coins.

Although he also charged three coins per person, he did not mind if they had a bit more things on them. If there were two people, he would charge one coin less. Because of this, many people who came back from town would specifically wait for his cart.

Hence, he did not earn less than the others. f𝒓𝑒e𝙬𝒆𝚋𝘯૦𝘷𝐞𝑙.c𝑜𝐦

Therefore, there was really no need to build a roof for the cart. Besides, it was easier to move things without it.
