Agriculturist businesswoman reborn in the countryside

Chapter 40
It must be that Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang's eldest son is coming back today, so that's why I did it.

At this moment, just as he was talking, there was the sound of a cow bleating outside the door. Tang Mai turned his head and saw Wang Qing, the eldest son of Uncle Wang, came back.

The 12-year-old youngest son of Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang, Wang Yun, was also sitting on the bullock cart.

"Hello, Big Brother Wang, Hello, Second Brother Wang." Tang Mai greeted the two with a smile. Both of them had a very good impression of Tang Mai, especially Wang Yun, who loved to eat the food Tang Mai sent.

After eating something at Aunt Wang's house, Tang Mai explained the purpose of coming, "Uncle Wang, my adoptive father sold the rice and made a lot of money. He said that my parents didn't want his money, so he wanted to give it to our family." A cow. But I am afraid that my parents will not want it, so I would like to ask you to help me choose a cow. When the cow is bought, my parents will definitely not be able to send it back.”

During this period of time, many people knew that Tang Mai had a adoptive father. After all, Shan Xiong often came to their house, and every time he rode in a gorgeous carriage. In the countryside, not to mention horse-drawn carriages, even ox carts are not expensive. More often, they don't know what Tang Mai's adoptive father does, but Tang Mai has been buying land and fields in the name of Shan Xiong for the past few months. Anyone who knows that Tang Mai has a foster father knows that Tang Mai's The adoptive father is very rich.

Uncle Wang was also happy for Tang Yuanshan when he heard Tang Mai say that her adoptive father would give them a cow. If he had a cow, it would be much more convenient for him to farm or go to town in the coming year.

The cow in their family was bought by his eldest son who saved the monthly money for more than a year plus the money they usually saved.

"Okay, Uncle Wang will go with you now and accompany you to choose a cow with good teeth."

Uncle Wang is a man of action, so he took Tang Mai into his family's ox cart, went to the town, and found a market for selling livestock. There were people coming and going, and it was quite lively. It smells so good.

Uncle Wang took Tang Mai to look around at several places where he bought cattle. When he saw a good one, he went up to break open the teeth of the cattle and have a look. In the end, he picked a calf of medium size. , looks good, looks quite strong.

After haggling with the cattle seller, I finally bought it for ten taels of silver.

The two of them were just about to leave when Tang Mai's gaze inadvertently glanced at the sickly calf, which was lying on the ground with more air intake and less air output. Its four hooves were all tied up with strong ropes. It won't be long.

Some cattle sellers do not want to lose money, and sometimes they will pull such calves to kill, mix them with fresh beef, and sell them to others.

It was looking at Tang Mai, and there was a trace of longing for life in its eyes.

Nobody wants to die, neither does a cow.

It looked at Tang Mai, and Tang Mai looked at it.

When Uncle Wang called Tang Mai, Tang Mai made a decision to buy it.

A calf that was about to die of illness could not be sold for a few dollars even if it was sold as meat. If someone was willing to be taken advantage of, the stall owner was naturally happy, and he sold it to Tang Mai for only two taels of silver.

The calf was about the same height as Tang Mai, and compared to the calf bought for ten taels of silver, it was too thin and weak, even because of illness, it couldn't walk steadily.

But when Tang Mai was holding the rope that tied him and was sitting on the newly bought ox cart, he followed Tang Mai step by step and walked home with great effort.

After thanking Uncle Wang and taking six steamed buns from Aunt Wang, Tang Mai led the two calves back home.

Tang Yuanshan and Lian Xiulan were working in the yard, and when they saw Tang Mai come back with a cow, or both, they were stunned for a while before they could react, so Tang Mai had to repeat the story she had made up in advance.

He insisted that it was given by his adoptive father, that's right.

Tang Yuanshan still couldn't accept it, and insisted on sending the cow back. Tang Mai was in a hurry and said directly that after Shan Xiong finished delivering her cow, he went to another place, and he didn't know when he would come back.

Seeing that Tang Mai insisted on keeping the cow, Tang Yuanshan discussed with Lian Xiulan and agreed to keep the cow temporarily.

While Tang Mai was taking a nap, Tang Yuanshan went to the town with two cows, intending to find Shan Xiong and return the cows to Shan Xiong. Fortunately, Shan Xiong was really away, but he didn't leave today.

Tang Yuanshan had no choice but to bring back two more cows, but the thin calf was already dying of illness, and after being tossed and tossed like this, there was only one breath left.

Seeing that the calf was going to die, Tang Yuanshan felt anxious for something.

After Tang Mai was woken up by the movement outside, she was really funny and annoyed, but she had no time to sleep now, and as soon as she got up, she went to the mountain with an overview map of the mountain shape, and she needed to gather some herbs immediately.

In fact, before she took a nap, she checked out the cause of the calf and thought about the treatment. She thought about resting for a while before collecting herbs for the calf, but she never thought that Tang Yuanshan would want to take the two cows back to town superior.

She is not a veterinarian, but her medical skills are all interlinked, saving a calf is not a problem.

On the same day, Tang Yuanshan rushed out to get a cow pen and let the two cows live in it. After eating the medicine Tang Mai picked up, the calf took care of it for a few days, and finally recovered.

Seeing that winter is getting closer, Tang Mai originally planned to wait for Shan Xiong to come back, sell all the vegetables in the vegetable field to him, and then show her the newly developed method of making money, but it has been more than a month. , her adoptive father was still missing, and she couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

Shan Xiong didn't come back, and Tang Yuanshan knew that Shan Xiong was not there, so she couldn't even build a house in Shan Xiong's name.

After waiting anxiously for several days, there was still no news from Shan Xiong. Tang Mai had no choice but to sell all the vegetables to shopkeeper He first, and wait for Shan Xiong to come back to talk about the money.

The food was sent out, but her latest money-making method was not available this year.

Tang Mai was very angry, but also very worried, so he went to the town every day in a bullock cart to ask about the whereabouts of Shan Xiong, the shopkeeper. Finally, at noon a few days later, Shan Xiong, who had been missing for more than a month, came back.

"Father—!"

As soon as Shan Xiong came back, Tang Mai forgot about being angry, ran up to Shan Xiong, and hugged his thigh.

The one who runs the shop, especially the one with the support of Shan Xiong, is the most dangerous one. She is really afraid that something will happen to him.

"Hey, Mai'er, I really miss you as a father." Shan Xiong hugged Tang Mai and laughed loudly, looking in a good mood.

Seeing that Shan Xiong came back, Tang Mai looked happy, and she finally let go of her heart. Even her adoptive father is her relative, and she doesn't want her relative to suffer any further harm.

"Father, where have you been? Don't you want Mai'er?" Tang Mai's heart was relieved, and she stared at Shan Xiong with wide eyes. She was very angry now.

"How can it be? There is something wrong with the adoptive father's family, so it has been delayed for so long. Mai'er is not angry, and the adoptive father will apologize to you." Shan Xiong rubbed Tang Mai's hair, and took out a piece of paper from his arms. paper, and said to Tang Mai, "Look, this is a gift from your adoptive father to make amends, let's see if you like it?"
