Chapter 45

Mrs. Hurzurn spoke firmly while her husband next to her also arrogantly crossed his arms. They were making Rubica look like she wasn't paying attention to the well-being of the Claymore family if she didn't buy their hoes.

Rubica soon realized what was going on. These people hadn't come to plead for justice or get close to Rubica. They were merchants eager to use an innocent idiot to strike it rich.

And unfortunately, Rubica wasn't such an idiot. She had met plenty of these kind of merchants at the abbey. She knew what to say to them.

"According to the books I got from Ann, I decided the hoes we already have will be enough."

No, I won't buy.

"But Your Grace, this hoe is different from the other hoes. Food production will increase greatly in the fall."

"It looks like the price of purchasing hoes will be bigger than the increase in food production. I will not buy them."

No, still no.

"But…"

"I will think of buying them if the hoes rust by next year."
