If there's ever an emergency in the future, relying on just legs might cause delay. Now that the Mo Family has both a cart shed and a cattle shed, there's no need to worry about having no place to put them after purchase.
The carriage is for the Mo Family's own transportation, and buying draught oxen is convenient since the Mo Family has twenty acres of land. Moreover, buying a couple to rent out to villagers during the busy farming season won't make much money, but it's good for gaining the villagers' favor.
Mo Yan planned to visit the Liu Family first, and since Lizhong couldn't follow, he went to wait at the place in Southern Market where livestock is sold.
On her first visit to the Liu Family, Mo Yan bought some suitable gifts before knocking on the grand door of the Liu Family's residence.
Liu Tinglan's father, Mr. Liu, had gone to the Academy early in the morning, so only Mrs. Liu, an elder, was at home. She warmly welcomed Mo Yan.
