Chapter 180 Don't Forget Your Roots!

Manager Min quickly stopped writing and ordered, "Close the door and speak slowly."

The boy quickly closed the door and whispered, "Shopkeeper, someone is making trouble in front of Ankangtang. They say that the medicinal materials sold by Ankangtang are substandard and have harmed people!"

Manager Min was surprised, but not too surprised.

When Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue came over to deliver ginseng, he saw that the two boys looked bad, so he asked a few questions.

The two boys were smart, but they were no match for this old fox. They still had to ask a few questions.

Although he wasn't too clear about it, he still guessed that Ankangtang had cheated the Tai family's money and forced them to buy and sell.

The Tai family didn't want to cause trouble and accepted the loss.

But he was unhappy. In the past few days, people had been paying attention to Ankang Hall, trying to find an opportunity to stumble and vent their anger on the Tai family.

Who would have thought that Ankangtang would commit suicide and cause such a thing!
He thought for a while and said, "Is the patient dead? Has the government been alerted?"

The little boy nodded repeatedly, and his eyes seemed to be shining when he talked about the gossip.

"Shopkeeper, the person who took the fake medicine didn't die, but he didn't feel well. I heard that this person was the manager of the caravan from the south, and he had some power behind him. Occasionally, he makes the same old habit, so he just wants to grab a few pills and take a few doses. Yes, and then go back to my hometown for further diagnosis and treatment.

“As a result, Ankangtang saw that the person who was taking the medicine was from out of town, so he mixed it with inferior medicinal materials, and even fake medicine!

"Now they have reported it to the government, and the county magistrate is personally leading people to search Ankang Tang's medicinal material warehouse! I heard that several boxes of fake medicines were found in the search, and Ankang Tang must be doomed!"

Manager Min was also happy to hear this, and sneered, "That old guy from Ankang Hall works as an errand in the Yamen on the strength of his son-in-law. He usually keeps his tail raised proudly. Now he has really hit the wall, and the son-in-law is no longer useful!"

After that, he took out a piece of silver from his purse and gave it to the young boy, and told him, "Don't tell anyone about this, just go and work hard."

"Yes, from the shopkeeper!" The young boy was extremely happy. This piece of silver equaled his salary for a month, and he also watched a great show for nothing!

In Taijia Village, the Tai family still didn’t know that Ankang Hall was in trouble.

Mr. Tai held his fat granddaughter in his hand and was walking in the fields with Mr. Tai.

Looking at the green seedlings that had just emerged from the ground, the two old brothers were so happy that they couldn't open their mouths from ear to ear.

After several years of famine, we are finally looking forward to a good harvest year with good weather!

"Third brother, this corn is really not much different from sorghum. It seems to be easier to handle. After a while, if you look at the seedlings, we will definitely be able to harvest a lot of corn stalks in autumn!"

Master Tai was looking at a large field and waving his hand across it. He was as high-spirited as a monarch looking at a vast country!
After hearing this, Mr. Tai nodded repeatedly, found a tree stump, sat down, and said, "Our village will be developed by then, and every family granary can be filled with corn seeds."

Zhuzhu was naughty. When she saw little white butterflies flying everywhere, she picked up the small net bag she brought from home and ran to play.

The old man greeted, "Zhuzhu, don't run too far!"

"I got it, grandpa!" Zhuzhu didn't even turn her head, her eyes were filled with little butterflies.

Mr. Tai untied his tobacco bag, refilled the old brother's pot, and said, "Third brother, you also know that I came from the border guard army. No one knows the hard work of the border guard army better than me.

"In autumn, I plan to ask someone to ask, if the army needs these corn seeds... I want to give half of them to the army. At least next year, the brothers in the army will not have to go hungry to fight the enemy!"

Mr. Tai nodded quickly, "Okay, okay, this is so appropriate! The fact that we can sit here and talk and farm with peace of mind is all thanks to the border guards. As human beings, we must not forget our roots! When the time comes, you can just take care of things like this in the village. Let me tell you!"

"Thank you, third brother!" Mr. Tai still wanted to speak, but Zhuzhu had already run to the trench beside the ground without knowing it.

Mr. Tai quickly stood up and wanted to catch his granddaughter.In spring, everything revives. Not only the plants and trees sprout and bloom, but many insects and snakes also become active.

The old man doesn’t want his precious granddaughter to be scared!
However, before he could take a step forward, Zhuzhu ran back, hugged Grandpa's thigh, and whispered, "Grandpa, there is meat over there! Piggy, it's a wild boar!"

boar? !
Not to mention Mr. Tai, even Mr. Tai jumped up as if there were springs under his butt.

The two old brothers looked at each other, and the tacit understanding came instantly.

Third Master Tai raised his legs and ran, heading towards some men from the village not far away.

Mr. Tai held his fat granddaughter in his arms and placed her on a dead tree pillar that was half a person tall. Then he pulled out the dagger hidden in his trouser leg and touched the edge of the trench.

Sure enough, a large wild boar weighing more than 200 kilograms and a small wild boar weighing more than 100 kilograms were digging the soil beside the trench with their noses.

Farmers love the land deeply, and they are greedy for the crops.

The family who planted this land even shoveled away the weeds beside the trench and replanted more than a dozen corn trees.

And these two wild boars were digging up the land in search of corn seeds, which they ate deliciously.

So much so that when someone brought a dagger to the side, they didn't even notice.

Mr. Tai was silently thinking about how to keep both wild boars.

Of course, when he was young and had both arms, this wouldn't be difficult at all.

But now that he is old and frail, and he only has one good arm, it is a difficult problem that requires some planning to solve.

He looked at his fat granddaughter not far away, who was looking over here with her neck stretched out, her plump little face full of excitement and joy.

Never let your granddaughter down!
The old man took a deep breath, threw the dagger out, and plunged it into the big wild boar's neck.

The big wild boar was in pain and rolled over with a scream.

The little wild boar was frightened and was about to run away, but the old man jumped up and rode on its back, his fists falling like raindrops.

"Ouch!" The little wild boar screamed hard, causing the big wild boar to stand up with a dagger, and then rushed towards the old man.

The old man jumped off the little wild boar's back and kicked it. The big wild boar fell to the ground in pain and became even more ferocious.

At this time, the sesame ball jumped out of nowhere, jumped directly to the wild boar's neck, and bit the wild boar's ear hard.

The big wild boar banged its head and rolled like crazy, but it couldn't get rid of the sesame ball!
Finally, Tai Sanye and others arrived.

A few men originally planned to see the seedlings sprouting in the fields and were wondering whether to carry water to replant them.

As a result, the work was not done, and the pole and pickaxe came in handy.

The little wild boar was helpless and was beaten unconscious by the old man. The big wild boar was bleeding from its neck and had a sesame ball in its mouth that it would not let go.

The big one and the small one didn't last long before they collapsed completely.

Mr. Tai's beard stood up with joy, "Haha, this is really lucky, pork is delivered to your door!"
