CHAPTER 79: CHAPTER 79: BUYING A WHEELBARROW

"Doctor Chen, hurry up." The servant urged continuously.

"I’m... I’m hurrying, aren’t I?" The short and chubby Doctor Chen was panting heavily.

"Our Miss Chai is unconscious, we must hurry."

"That’s Doctor Chen who consults at Anhe Hall." Mu Yuanxiu observed the pair running into the distance.

Anhe Hall was the pharmacy that had just bought herbs from them.

"Doctor Chen..." Li Yuzhu muttered, "Mr. Mu, are there several Doctor Chens in this market?"

"Just him alone." Mu Yuanxiu said.

"That’s troublesome then." Li Yuzhu frowned worriedly.

"What’s the trouble?" Mu Yuanxiu and the others looked at Li Yuzhu.

"The doctor who misdiagnosed Liu the bricklayer’s wife as being pregnant was Doctor Chen." Li Yuzhu shook her head, concerned about Miss Chai.

Not being able to distinguish a pregnancy, his medical skills are seriously lacking.

"Turns out he’s a quack." Li Xing’an scoffed with a flick of his sleeve.

"There are more doctors in the area than just Doctor Chen. If he can’t properly treat Miss Chai, the Chai family will naturally find someone else." Mu Yuanxiu continued.

"Ah, that’s true as well. Let’s go, let’s go, why worry about others? Let’s head back, it’s getting late." Li Xing’an glanced at the sky, "It’s almost noon."

"I’ll go buy some other things." Li Yuzhu said, "Everyone follow me over there."

Across the road was a carpenter’s shop, with a newly made wheelbarrow out front.

This kind of single-wheeled cart is perfect for mountainous terrain.

In the future, taking it to market to haul grains and such would be very convenient.

It’s easier than carrying burdens.

"What else do you want to buy?" The Great Princess followed Li Yuzhu, "Could you use money a bit more sparingly?"

Buying recklessly just because there’s money! What a spendthrift girl!

"This is a necessity." Li Yuzhu replied.

The shop didn’t only sell wheelbarrows, but also sold carriage frames and large two-wheeled carts.

The carriage frames and large carts must be expensive, Li Yuzhu didn’t even want to ask.

The shopkeeper, seeing customers, immediately paused his work and came over to greet them, "What would you like to buy?"

Li Yuzhu pointed to the wheelbarrow and asked, "How much is this one?"

"This one, 420 wen." The shopkeeper said with disdain upon seeing the customer pick the cheapest item.

"This thing costs 420 wen? Such a small cart! It’s the size of a tabletop!" The Great Princess exclaimed immediately.

"If you think it’s small, buy a big cart. It can be hitched to an ox and turned into an ox cart." The shopkeeper said dismissively.

The Great Princess, "..." Such contempt for the poor! She remembered when she used to spend more than 400 wen a day just on her maids!

"Shopkeeper, is my carriage frame ready?" A middle-aged man came over to ask.

The shopkeeper immediately left Li Yuzhu and her companions and went to greet him.

"Yes, yes, here it is." The shopkeeper pointed to a new carriage frame inside the shed and said with a smile, "The carriage frame for Mr. Luo’s wedding, we dare not delay."

The middle-aged man inspected the carriage frame and nodded in satisfaction, "Hitch it to the horse I brought."

"Alright." The shopkeeper responded with a smile.

He instructed two of his assistants to attach the wheels and hitch it to the horse brought by the customer.

"Mr. Luo has patronized my business, I will definitely attend his wedding banquet with Miss Chai." The shopkeeper smiled.

"Of course, of course." The middle-aged man paid the money and left with the carriage.

Li Yuzhu’s eyes twinkled, and she walked over to ask, "Shopkeeper, when is Mr. Luo and Miss Chai’s wedding day?"
