The Rise of the Ranch King

Chapter 28 28. Disputes in the past

I thought the scene would be chaotic, but now it looks pretty good.

Wayne played an important role, rushing directly to bite anyone who disobeyed.

It is estimated that word has spread among the cattle and sheep circles that the "stuffed monster" likes to bite their hind legs, so as not to cause trouble.

Violence may not solve the problem, but it can deter timid criminals.

Even a layman can easily tell the gender of a cow because the cow is so big underneath that it feels like it will fall down at any time and spill the milk all over the floor!

After staring for a while, Lin Feng turned red and felt that he had done something wrong.

He tried stroking the down of a cow. It felt great, like stroking a soft blanket.

When I was a child, I saw the black and white cows in the village in my hometown. They couldn't compare with my own cows in terms of size and condition. They were simply two different species.

The little black cow seemed unhappy after being bitten on the hind leg by Wayne, and was always looking for an opportunity to have a fight with Wayne.

This cow is special.

When he was at school, the teacher would only remember the students with the best grades and the naughtiest students in the class. It was the same in the pasture. Most of Lin Feng's attention was focused on the little black cow.

The ranch needs troublemakers like this to add vitality, otherwise it will be too quiet.

Castil pulled a bull over and said, "This is a good breeding bull. You know what it does all the time. When you see a bulging area, you want to buck it. I woke up this morning and found that it was pushing against my motorcycle." .”

Lin Feng slapped the cow's butt hard, scaring the big guy so much that it started spinning around in circles, trying to see what hit his butt. He was so stupid.

The first batch of cattle and sheep can be regarded as experimental products to test the quality of the small world's well water. If the results are good, the number of cattle and sheep will continue to be increased. If economic conditions permit, the surrounding land will be purchased to expand the territory. It is quite exciting to think about it.

After unloading the cattle and sheep, Cassidy prepared to go home.

Lin Feng stopped him, "Wait a minute, brother, I want you to help me with something."

"Tell me, I know everything about the ranch." Cassidy said confidently.

Lin Feng spread his hands and said, "It has nothing to do with the ranch. I met a girl and I'm about to go on a date. I want you to help me with a few questions."

Cassidy opened his mouth in an O-shape, "What? If I remember correctly, I got a girlfriend not even a month after coming to Riverdale Town?"

Lin Feng quickly waved his hand, "No, we haven't started yet, but I am confident."

Cassidy pointed to the ranch house, "Do you have any wine? Let's chat while we drink. I'm Riverdale Town's chief emotional expert!"

It can be seen that this guy likes to gossip, so he sent away his workers and left himself a smaller truck to go home later.

Drinking and driving seems to be very common in Riverdale Town. The police will only care about whether you can still walk in a straight line, but be sure not to cause a traffic accident, otherwise you will be prosecuted.

Once inside, Cassidy couldn't wait to hear the gossip.

Lin Feng calmly brought beer and wine glasses from the kitchen. Blue Label beer was produced in his hometown. It was surprising to see it in the supermarket in River Valley Town.

Cassidy opened the bottle cap with his teeth and filled it up for both of them.

"Wish you success, brother."

The beer just taken out of the refrigerator is quite cold, but it quenches my thirst.

"Now you can tell me who it is." Cassidy looked expectant.

Lin Feng didn't want to keep it secret anymore.

"Jasmine, do you know her?"

"Jasmine from the police station?"

"That's right." Lin Feng nodded.

Cassidy smiled naively and said: "I know her. I admire your courage, brother. Tell me how you met. You must have never been into the police station."

Lin Feng laughed, "Similar, but that's a misunderstanding."

He added: "What else do you know about Jasmine?"

Cassidy shook his head, "About her? I really don't know much, but do you know who her father is."

"Her father? Who is it?"

Lin Feng knew nothing about her family affairs, he only knew that she was a beautiful girl with an excellent figure.

"It will surprise you to say it!" Cassidy said mysteriously, "Hans Grando, the rancher of the Grando family ranch."

Lin Feng was a little surprised and suddenly remembered that Hans was the chairman of the Animal Husbandry Committee. Although he had never heard of it before, he seemed to be very famous in the local area.

"Jasmine Grando."

He said her name silently. "Tell me what you know about the Grando family. I know nothing about it."

He raised his glass and had another drink with Cassidy.

"Don't worry, brother, wait until I think about what to tell you!"

Cassidy looked diagonally upward and composed his words, looking as cute as a primary school student.

"Twelve years ago, in 2009, a major flood hit River Valley Town, and many ranches suffered heavy losses."

"The Otto family was lucky. The high terrain of their pasture was not affected much. Old John took the opportunity to acquire a large amount of surrounding land. Ranchers who had no money to repay their loans were forced to sell the land they depended on for survival at a low price."

It was at that time that the Otto family suddenly became the big landowners in River Valley Town.

Lin Feng's face was calm. He knew that running a ranch was not easy. A large number of ranches went bankrupt every year for various reasons.

"John Otto?"

Cassidy took a sip of wine and continued: "At that time, the land at Grando Ranch was the most fertile in the area, and their cattle and sheep were very popular. Although the floods washed away almost all their cattle and sheep, Old Hans refused. He accepted the acquisition plan of the Otto family and barely survived by relying on illegal loan sharking."

"Later, because the two ranches were very close to each other, conflicts often occurred over the issue of livestock crossing the boundary, which even led to gunfights."

Cassidy thought for a while and said: "About five months ago, Jasmine's brother was shot in the arm by Otto Johan's eldest son. Later they paid a sum of money to settle the matter."

Hans Grando's three sons all worked on the ranch, and his daughter came back to work as a sheriff after graduating from college.

As far as Cassidy knew, Jasmine becoming a police officer was not a "family conspiracy", or that Old Hans arranged this matter to fight against John's family.

Being a police officer has always been Jasmine's dream and personality.

Cassidy also talked a lot about the feud between the two families and the history of other ranches.

Lin Feng lamented that the flood was ruthless, but Cassidy gave a different answer.

"As a side note, maybe the flood twelve years ago was not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster."

His words stunned Lin Feng.

Cassidy bit his lip and thought about it before deciding to speak his mind.

"After the flood, my father and I went to the upper reaches of the river and accidentally discovered a piece of explosive that had not been detonated."

Lin Feng felt his scalp numb, "Are you saying that the flood was caused by the Otto family exploding the river?"

Cassidy pursed his lips and said nothing, but it was easy to tell something from his expression.

Lin Feng took a breath, River Valley Town didn't look as peaceful as it appeared.

"How are you, bro? It's like watching a movie." Cassidy said with a smile.

"Having said that, it would be even more awesome if a beautiful woman appears between Old John and Old Hans. They are fighting for land, cattle, sheep and women. It's a typical western cowboy movie plot."

Compared with these, Lin Feng was more concerned about his date with Jasmine.

Cassidy suggested that he throw away his casual clothes and dress more formally. Since it was a date, red wine and Western food would be indispensable. The restaurants in the river valley town were all open for cowboys, so it was difficult to satisfy them.

"I suggest you go to the nearby hot spring town. There are no hot springs there but there are several restaurants suitable for dates. It is about fifty kilometers away from River Valley Town and can be reached by car in thirty minutes. You can chat and warm up in advance on the way."

Cassidy is very knowledgeable and seems to be a master in this field.

"Man, isn't it embarrassing to drive a pickup truck out on a date? If I had known better, I should have bought that Dodge sports car."

Damn it, the jade hasn't been sold yet, otherwise I could at least buy another decent car.

Cassidy comforted: "The girls in Riverdale are not money diggers in Los Angeles and Miami. They value whether they are really valued rather than the brand of your car. It is no problem to clean up your pickup truck."

"really?"

"I promise." Cassidy changed the topic and said coquettishly: "Don't forget to bring your man's best friend with you on the date night."

"Who?"

Cassidy stretched out his middle finger, made a circle with his other hand, and inserted it from top to bottom.

Falk, he meant condoms.

While they were chatting in full swing, something seemed to be going on at the ranch. Wayne kept barking, and Lin Feng's first reaction was that there was another uninvited guest.

He quickly picked up the Mossberg and left the house.
