Chapter 364 - 365
He nodded busily, "I’ll pay, I’ll pay."
One tael of silver for the commission was enough; naturally, he was willing to part with it.
"Then it’s settled, please ask Brother Zhao to have someone draw up the contract," Wang Yongzhu said, feeling a bit uncomfortable as he saw the seller’s eyes were red.
The seller wiped his face and agreed shakily, then went off to find the steward of the Horse and Carriage Shop.
Wang Yongzhu patted his chest and quietly asked Song Chongjin, "I didn’t pay too much, did I?"
Song Chongjin, with laughter in his eyes and voice, said, "No, this mule, if he wasn’t in a hurry to sell, could fetch fifty taels in a few months. He didn’t ask for a high price, and you didn’t bargain; it’s quite good..."
Wang Yongzhu definitely detected a hint of teasing in Song Chongjin’s voice.
"When did you come back? Brother Zhao wasn’t arranged by you, was he? And when did I ever say to you that I wanted to buy a mule?" Feeling relieved as long as he hadn’t paid too much, Wang Yongzhu bombarded him with a string of questions.
Song Chongjin’s eyes crinkled with a smile that was all for Wang Yongzhu. "I came back yesterday, I met him on the road, clutching the mule and crying by the roadside, so I asked a few more questions. Thinking about your family business, sooner or later you would need a horse-drawn carriage, and this mule is in the prime of its strength. Believing it would be just right for use by the time of the autumn harvest, I took the liberty of bringing him here."
He answered patiently, one question at a time.
Wang Yongzhu gave him a look, fine, he’d take his word for it.
