Chapter Seventy-Seven: The One Without a Conscience
This picture is really a bit crazy, just like just killing someone, especially the smile, which made Ye Shuer unconsciously take a step back.
Xue Zhi'an stretched out his hand to lead her, wrapped his big hand around his small hand, giving her a sense of warmth and security, he led the man and the cow forward: "Brother, I don't know what's going on with the calf I just bought, I don't eat grass anymore, you can take a look." β
"Okay." The cripple's voice was hearty, and the man didn't talk nonsense, and he stepped forward to lead the calf and bolted it to the pillar, and then checked it.
Ye Shu'er had already adapted to it, and let go Xue Zhi'an also stepped forward, and asked crisply, "Can you see it?" β
The cripple reached out and touched the calf's belly, with a slight force.
Moo...... The calf kicked and struggled.
The cripple withdrew his hand, tapped twice on the protruding place and listened to the voice: "There is too much food in the stomach, it should not be that I eat too much, but that I have been fed indigestible food, these people, I can really do anything to earn money."
Let me say first, even if this cow is cured, the spleen and stomach are weak, and he will not be able to do heavy farm work in the future, and he will not be fat, and it is not easy to sell meat, so it is the most cost-effective to kill it directly. β
Hearing this, Xue Zhi'an and Ye Shu'er glanced at each other, and their faces changed, this cow had to be killed before it was bought at home?
"How much is it worth?" Xue Zhi'an asked.
Ye Shu'er saw that when the calf heard about death, her eyes became desperate, she buried her head, and she didn't even want to chew, so she waited for death.
But deep down, she seemed to hear the calf's struggle, and it didn't want to die.
The cripple looked at the calf: "The meat is tender, but it is estimated that there can only be about sixty catties after killing, and it can be sold for about two taels." β
Ten taels to eight taels in hand, not counting the money for the cripple to kill the cow, it is not cost-effective, Xue Zhian looked at his daughter-in-law and waited for his daughter-in-law to decide.
"Don't kill it, brother, you just have to save it." If it's just a deficiency of the spleen and stomach, then it shouldn't be anything if she feeds some herbs to recuperate and add the assistance of Lingquan.
The cripple replied and beckoned, "Come and help me lay the cow down." β
Xue Zhi'an went over to help.
Ye Shuer just grabbed the rope and stroked the cow's head with her other hand.
The body that was still giving the cripple a headache just lay down obediently: "Hey, it's weird, this little calf is human." β
Xue Zhi'an knew that this was the credit of his daughter-in-law, and looked up at his daughter-in-law, his eyes were full of pride.
is still innocent and naΓ―ve, but Ye Shu'er feels a little different about him, I don't know from which day, he stood in front of him to shelter from the wind and rain, and thought slowly.
This is a big step forward for him, he is starting to recover, it seems that the last medicine has worked, and it is time to change to a new one.
Ye Shu'er was worried in her heart, squatting aside to watch the cripple massage the calf's belly, a little strange: "The same as people?" β
The cripple nodded: "That's not, they all have the same heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys, just rub their stomachs more." β
After listening to him rub it for a while, the calf's uncomfortable eyes suddenly softened, and Blu let out a series of farts.
"It's done, it doesn't seem to be very serious! After that, it's absolutely okay to work. The cripple smiled, rubbed it a few times and then stopped: "Just rub it for a few days in a row, you can also rub it yourself at home." β
"Thank you, brother." Ye Shu'er got up and gave the cripple ten cents: "We'll come back tomorrow." β
"Okay."
The cripple sent people out of the yard and went back.
Ye Shu'er and Xue Zhi'an led the calf forward, it seemed that the massage had worked, and the calf's spirit was better.
"Daughter-in-law, I just learned, I can treat the calf." Xue Zhi'an's hand was raised, and the movements of learning the cripple were not bad at all.
This is talent, you can learn everything quickly and never forget it.
He had never done heavy work, his fingers were white and slender, and he didn't even have a calluse, and he looked like a pampered hand.
"You don't know how hard you go, besides, we spent ten taels of silver, so I don't care about that." Ye Shu'er didn't want Xue Zhi'an to do this with the hand of the pen, and considering that the calf had not healed, it was not suitable for practice.
When the two of them led the cow to the house, Song was the first to rush out, looked at the calf trembling and asked, "How is it?" Is there something wrong? β
"It's okay, it's just that you've accumulated food, and you can get it for two days." Ye Shu'er didn't plan to say anything else, which would increase the pressure and guilt of the Song family.
"That's good, that's good." After muttering twice, Song Shi breathed a sigh of relief, and when he relaxed, he was so tired that he took the eldest girl back to the house to sleep early.
Boss Xue sat in the hall, and when the family came in, his face was heavy: "Shu'er, you tell you the truth, what happened to the calf?" β
"Big brother, it's nothing, it's just like people, they have accumulated food, and I guess it was those people who deliberately fed a lot of things in order to make the calf look edible and grow fat." Ye Shu'er was very relaxed, she was not pretending, she could sense that the calf was already much more comfortable, and there were several farts on the way here.
Boss Xue was skeptical, and he buried his head in response to Song's deception this time: "She did something wrong and made the family so burdened, so I will go to find someone tomorrow and return the silver." β
"I think it's okay, if you don't say that you will return everything, at least you have to return our five taels of silver!" Zhang's very agreed, their family had worked hard to embroider handkerchiefs for a long time, and they felt that they were almost blind to get those five taels.
Boss Xue nodded, and after returning to the room, he told the Song family about it.
Song first nodded and then shook his head: "No! β
"Why?" Boss Xue's face sank.
Song slurped for a long time, the cow seller was taken by her mother, she didn't dare to guarantee that her mother didn't know about it, so she lowered her head and said, "I'll do the embroidery work myself and make up for this silver." As she spoke, she got up and took the handkerchief from the bamboo basket and began to embroider.
After less than ten stitches, I heard her babble and pinched her fingers.
Xue Lao was angry, and still stepped forward and put the fingers that were still bleeding into his mouth.
Song's tears fell big and he couldn't say anything.
Boss Xue saw it in his eyes, took out her hand, and said softly: "Okay, I won't force you, I'll tell my mother about this, you go to bed early." With that, he left the room.
Song followed to the door, but he still didn't see his family, closed the door, and couldn't sleep.
Boss Xue took everything on himself: "I'll go to the mountain tomorrow and find a way to fill up this money." β
Zhang shook his head, hating iron and steel: "Your daughter-in-law is fine, but as soon as she encounters her mother's family, she can't figure it out, and this matter must be related to her mother, so she has been refusing to say, forget it, don't go, I'll go with the second daughter-in-law." β
This is about the same, Li Yumei thought that this silver had to be counted, so much money!
Boss Xue opened his mouth, but he couldn't help but say, "Mother, we will make up for this money ourselves, can you not go ......"
"Confused!" Zhang scolded angrily: "It's a trivial matter to be fooled by losses, and money is also a trivial matter, I'm afraid that your daughter-in-law will have a second and third time once you have it!" β
scolded and scolded, and Zhang agreed not to go.
Ye Shu'er and Xue Zhi'an were still taking care of the calf, listening to the noise, afraid that this matter was not over.
