The Zhu family looked at it, adjusted it properly, and then put it down. They didn't stay long, and as they left, Old Man Zhu smiled and advised, "Just brush a coat of tung oil on it and it'll be as good as new. Tung oil is indeed expensive, but once applied, this bed can last a long time."
"The wood of this bed is very sturdy. Your father-in-law previously bought a large piece of wood for one tael of silver."
Lin Qiao nodded, "Grandpa Zhu, where can I buy tung oil?"
"We have it at home. If you don't mind me taking advantage of you, I'll sell it to you. I originally bought it for twenty-eight cents per jin, but you can give me twenty-five cents." Old Man Zhu said with a smile.
"Thank you, Grandpa." Lin Qiao expressed her gratitude.
Probably seeing her as a lone woman, Old Man Zhu kindly helped her brush the tung oil, for which Lin Qiao gratefully gave him a few meat pies.
Not long after, the Zhu family "returned" her two jin of dried peanuts.
