Chapter 216 The Little Calf and the Little Donkey

"However..." the man thought for a while and then said, "This couple went to see a doctor in our hospital today. I inquired about it, and they went to several medical centers of our family, and several other hospitals. But it was all for that man to see a doctor."

"Is that man sick?" Elder Xu raised his eyebrows.

"It seems that he has no sense of taste."

"No sense of taste?" Elder Xu immediately narrowed his eyes, "Why didn't I notice it at the time?"

Immediately he nodded. "Go and get all the medical records about that man from our family, I want to have a look!"

"Well, I knew you wanted to see it a long time ago, and I have already brought it over. Please have a look." The clerk quickly took out a few medical records and handed them over.

Mr. Xu put on the diorama again, and looked at these medical records again and again, his brows were furrowed even tighter. "I know the medical skills of Dr. Du and Dr. Zou. Since they said there is no problem, then there must be no problem. But if so, why..."

As he spoke, his eyes fell on Dr. Zou's final closing of the case, and he immediately found it amusing and funny. "Heart disease? Can heart disease also cause people to lose their sense of taste? This is an interesting statement."

The man stood obediently aside.It wasn't until Mr. Xu finished talking to himself that he went on to say: "There is one more thing. This has nothing to do with us, but since it has something to do with their husband and wife, I think it's better to say hello to you."

Elder Xu looked up. "What else is there?"

He was also curious.Didn't the couple just come to the county seat? Why did they do so many things in just half a day?
The waiter hurriedly said: "We found that someone has been following them. That group is the son of Mr. Chen in Wushan Town and his servants. However, they don't know what happened, they followed the couple in the After wandering around the city for a long time, they failed to catch up with them. When it was just dark, they hurriedly followed the couple's footsteps out again, and I don't know if they caught up with them later. "

"Don't worry, they will definitely not be able to catch up." Mr. Xu stroked his beard and came to a firm conclusion.

The guy looked surprised. "Old Xu, how do you know?"

Old Xu sneered. "Chen Yi and his son are indeed two characters in Wushan Town. It's just that they are too eager for quick success, too greedy, and have too much appetite. Although they have some real skills, they can only stop in Wushan Town in this life. That's a small place. And that couple, they are masters who hide their secrets. Just because they have dealt with Chen Yi and his son all these years, but they have never been defeated by them, you can know how powerful they are. Now, the foundation of this couple has almost been established, and they will gradually let go of the appearance of weakness, so how can they give face to this father and son?"

As he spoke, he let out a long sigh. "In five years, Wushan Town will be reshuffled. At that time, that place may be dominated by that couple!"

The man was dumbfounded. "Mr. Xu, you think highly of them! How old are they? Besides, Wushan Town has been run by Chen Yi and his son for many years. It is not easy to get rid of them in just five years." thing!"

"It's really not an easy task. But, I believe that the couple definitely have the ability." Xu said slowly.

After finishing speaking, he took a sip of tea, closed his eyes, and said slowly: "What's more, he has the support of the young master now. Presumably, after knowing what happened today, not only the young master, There are more nobles who will be interested in their husband and wife."

Of course, Su Ran and Li Er were completely unaware of what Xu Lao said behind his back.

The couple returned to the village with the 120 taels of silver, and the next day Quan Geer An Geer went out and began to inquire about who had cattle to sell.It just so happened that in Xiatang Village, two villages away from Wushan Village, there was indeed a cow in a wealthy family who gave birth to a calf and was looking for a buyer.After Su Ran and Li Er heard about it, they hurried over.

The calf is now more than two months old. It is strong and has a bright coat color. It is still walking around the cow.Looking at the cow's appearance, I knew that it was obedient and willing to work. Su Ran and Li Er were very satisfied, and immediately negotiated a price with the rich man, three taels of silver.

When he was about to pay the money, the rich man suddenly said another thing: "By the way, last year my donkey also gave birth to a cub. Now the cub has grown up and can push the mill and pull the cart. We don't like the strength of the old donkey." Xiao, I don’t want it anymore. If you want it, I can sell it to you for a tael of silver!”

When Su Ran heard this, she was immediately moved.

Although the female donkey who has given birth to a calf may be a bit older, it is still okay to run a mill or something at home.Mrs. Wang's health is not very good, so it is better to ask her to ride a donkey for a walk during the festivals than to stay at home all the time.Of course, it would be even better if this female donkey could give birth to another calf!
Thinking of this, she looked at Li Er with twinkling eyes: "What do you mean? Do you want it?"

"We can still get a tael of silver." Li Er said immediately.

He agreed.

Su Ran was overjoyed immediately, she quickly took out another sling of money, wrote a receipt with the rich man, and happily drove the calf and donkey back to the village with Li Er.

Of course, since the donkey already belonged to them, Li Er simply let Su Ran sit on the donkey's back and let the donkey carry her away.

Although the donkey walks slowly, it is also very steady. Anyway, it must be enough for ordinary households.

Su Ran sat on the donkey's back, and after observing all aspects of the donkey, he nodded secretly, feeling that he had made the right decision.

But when Huang saw the donkey, she immediately felt a terrible pain.

This time, without Su Ran's persuasion, Brother Quan and Brother An quickly surrounded her from left to right.

"Mom, don't be angry! Sister, she bought donkeys to help you reduce your burden! We have so many lands in our family now, and there will definitely be more and more in the future. How can we get here with just a few hands at home? It’s only a tael of silver, but in exchange for at least two hours of leisure for you and Sister Liu every day, it’s already worth it!”

"That's right! This is still a female donkey, she can give birth to young donkeys! You and Sister Liu will be more relieved when the young donkey is born. Later, if there are more babies, we can still sell the young donkeys, and the cost will be reduced. Come back. In the end, we have earned a donkey for nothing, and your leisure for so long!"

The two brothers spoke to each other, explaining clearly the benefits brought by the donkey, which made Huang speechless.

"Forget it! I bought everything back, what else can I say? However, if you buy more animals at home in the future, you can't think about it. Anyway, tell me first, so I can help you Weigh it up and see if it's appropriate!" In the end, Huang could only say this weakly.

Su Ran quickly nodded and agreed.

Only then did Huang breathe a sigh of relief.

However, after saying this, she couldn't help but ran to see the newly brought calf and donkey.

At any rate, the family now has livestock!In the future, no matter farming or doing other farm work, there will be something to do it for me, which is still very good.In the past, when my family was doing farm work, I was always envious of the big buffalo in the village head's house.Now that she has her own family, she is of course proud of it.

When the house was being built before, Li Er had asked someone to build a cow shed, and now he happened to tie the calf into it.As for the donkey... this is an unexpected product.But fortunately, the calf is still young and doesn't need such a big cowshed, so they only separated the cowshed from the middle, asking the donkey and the calf to live under the same roof.Next, they will work harder and quickly build a shed for the donkey next to it.

For this, Li Er and Brother Quan were busy again.

When the donkey shed was erected, it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month before you knew it.

On the fifteenth day, Su Ran asked the donkey to pull the mill, and ground ten catties of glutinous rice, then wrapped twenty glutinous rice balls with crushed peanuts and sesame paste, cooked them into a big pot, and the family happily ate them.

However, just after eating, Sister Liu went to the river to do some shopping with a basin of clothes, but not long after she went out, she came back with a pale face.

"What's wrong with you?" Su Ran hurriedly asked.

Sister Liu bit her lip. "Cousin, my parents are here."

Su Ran raised her eyebrows. "When did they come? Why didn't I see it?"

"When I was outside, my mother was about to come and get close to me, and I drove them away. I warned them not to come here to disturb you, or I won't give them this year's wages! After hearing this, my mother will be obedient I'm leaving now. Now I say I want to go to see my sister with my father." Sister Liu said hurriedly.

In the end, there was still a little pride on her face.

Su Ran was a little startled, and then she couldn't help chuckling.

It's really a wicked person who still needs to be grinded by a wicked person.Seeing that they turned over and climbed higher branches than Mr. Chen, my aunt dragged my uncle over to find them again and wanted to make up.It's a pity that they don't need to come forward now, Sister Liu, Jiang's own daughter, has stepped forward and started to confront them.

Presumably, what Sister Liu said to them must not be as simple as what she just said in a few words.The Jiang family may not know what kind of injuries he has suffered!

Sister Liu's ambition is really big enough.In order to lean on their side, she decided without hesitation to draw a line with her parents.

However, she couldn't be wrong about her actions.After all, the Jiang family... She is too partial to her natal family.If Sister Liu didn't plan for herself, who else could plan for her?
"You did a good job." Su Ran nodded as she wished, "But..."
