A good time for farming through the ages

Chapter 156 [156] Hesitating to buy cattle (2000)

In the days to come, Zhuo Lin will not only find ways to find some hay, but also feed some fresh grass while no one is paying attention, so that the five-year-old scalper rubs her neck affectionately when she sees her, presumably she gave birth The grass that comes out tastes good.

They never went to the other side of the mountain. Naturally, they don’t know what kind of torture the person who traded the cattle had endured. He felt that this was retribution and was afraid. He wanted to exchange the cattle again, but no one knew which village they were from. He had no choice but to look for them from village to village.

When he found Ximu Village, he was already skinny. However, when he saw Lao Zhongtou grazing cattle in the field, his spirit shook instantly, and he ran towards him excitedly. As a result, a tug-of-war began. up.

"I was wrong. I shouldn't have traded cattle with you. I was seriously ill because of this. Look at how thin I am now. I take good care of your cow. Look, it is not thin. We still Change it back, and I promise that I will never do such a thing again in the future.”

When the old cow who was replaced saw Lao Zhongtou, he yelled excitedly, and even clung to the rope to go to him. On the contrary, the calf didn't even look at him, but lowered his head and gnawed on the ridge on the field earnestly. hay.

When the villagers heard the news and rushed over, it became like an old cow and a young cow were willing to follow the old clock, and no cow wanted to follow the cocooned person.

He regretted that he wanted to pull the old cow back. When the old cow got angry, he even kicked him. In the end, even the village chief passed by, but they couldn't pull the old cow away, let alone the calf. From the beginning to the end, he didn't look at the person who raised him. The feeling of being abandoned was vividly displayed in his eyes.

Both Lao Niu and Xiao Niu were unwilling to go with him. Lao Zhong looked at the man and shook his head slightly.

"Although they are livestock, they are also humane. You don't want them if you want them, and you can change them if you don't want them. Have you seen them? If you treat them well, they will treat you well. Now the big and small ones are not with you. Go, I can't help it, don't say that our Ximu Village is taking advantage of you, this matter itself is your fault, and now we have cured the disease of the cow, and we don't want to leave after feeding it, which is enough to show that you are a slack How incompetent you are to be a bull."

The man lost his wife and lost his army, and there was no way to explain it when he returned to the village, but the cow didn't want to go with him. Even if he dragged him back forcibly, it would be futile, so he could only leave dryly.

The next day, he came, not only came by himself, but also brought a shelf cart, and four or five villagers, thinking that he would get the cow back today no matter what, but he ignored the calf's temper Vigorously, three or four people were kicked to the ground by it, and finally the villagers were also annoyed.

"What do you want it to do? It's all about you. What would you trade for a good one? It's all right now. People don't want to follow you. If you insist on following them, it can be seen that you don't like it usually. Go back and ask. Village chief, if you really can't sell it, buy another one and take it back!"

The villagers of Shouyang Village left. On the third day, the village chief came in person. No matter if it was a calf or an old cow, they couldn’t drag any of them away. Instead, a large group of people were injured to varying degrees, and the village chief was angry That's enough, but it was the village head of their village who watched them tossing calmly.

The cattle are willing to stay, which shows that their village has good geomantic omen, and so many people have failed to trap them, which is enough to show how hard the cattle have worked.

With such a strong intention here, who is not moved by it?
The old cow refuses to leave because this is his home, and the calf refuses to leave because of the temptation of Zhuo Lin's green grass and the resentment of being abandoned.

So the head of Shouyang Village wanted to sell the calf to the head of the village for one hundred yuan.

The village chief is not stupid. They only changed the cow because of a sick cow. Now that the cow has recovered without medicine in their village, they want to sell it for money?
Where is such a good thing?

"We don't want it, you take it away, 100 yuan, hehe, we haven't even counted the money for medical treatment, we need 100 yuan to open our mouths, you can really tell!"

"That's right, your act of exchanging cattle is theft. If we go to the police, do you think you can stand here and negotiate with us?"

"100 yuan? Bah, if you really want to export, we have to consider even 50 yuan!"

There are no communes, large cafeterias, and collective work in the village now. It is true that the cattle are collective property, but if they are used by individuals during the farming season, they have to pay for them and feed them, which can be regarded as a kind of profit in the village. As for the income from profits, it is necessary to purchase collective construction facilities in the village.

Now every village has one or two cows, and the village with two cows is richer, but Shouyang Village and Ximu Village are not considered rich villages, so there is only one cow, and now he is asked to sell the cow, and Shouyang Village does not want to Is it good to sell?Even if you buy a new cow now, you still have to spend time cultivating the relationship, raising it, and growing it. If you buy it now, who knows if it will be used in the farming season?

Ximu Village doesn't want to buy it either. Firstly, the village doesn't have that much money. Secondly, feeding one cow is already a part-time job. If feeding two cows, wouldn't it be a full-time job with full salary?They couldn't afford the salary, so they refused immediately.

Zhuo Lin tugged at Tao Yi's sleeve: "Can we buy it? I like that calf very much, and it likes mine too,"

Tao Yi's expression was a bit dignified. Looking back at the expressions of the villagers, most of them were watching a good show. No one would associate this cow with themselves. After all, even if this cow didn't sell for 100 yuan, it would cost 80 yuan. It can be achieved, 80 yuan is equivalent to 8000 yuan in later generations, and that is not a small amount. If the Zhuo family really buys the home, it can indeed reduce the labor force of the two women, but it will follow Yes, it is the jealousy of the villagers.

If you don't buy cattle, no one knows the strength of your family, even if you guess, you can't figure it out.

But if you buy a cow, others will think that you are very rich. After buying all the cows, there may be some leftovers in the family. People who come to you to borrow money and cows will appear one after another. You may not feel it at first. But after a long time, it will definitely become a burden on this family.

So after thinking about it, Tao Yi still thinks it's wrong. It's not that Zhuo Lin doesn't understand these principles, but she just thinks, why should she be afraid of the villagers when the conditions can be created?The two sisters-in-law work hard every day to earn money, and they wish they could peel off their skins during the busy farming season. The two of them are all responsible for the family and the outside world, so she also feels distressed, okay?

What borrowing money and cattle?I'm not willing to borrow you, what can you do to me?

People who hate the rich don't exist now, there will be more in the future, and their family's life will get better and better. Are they jealous?

Zhuo Lin turned her head to look at Tao Yi, the meaning shouldn't be too obvious, as Tao Yi also knew what this girl was thinking, so she could only ask for help in the direction of her sister-in-law.

And Chen Qiuxia and Wang Juan were actually hesitating in their hearts!
