Farmer's wife: Xianggong, if you are sick

Chapter 34 Foot-and-mouth disease in cattle ([-])

Seeing her son coming back, Gu Shi, who was wronged in the first place, shed tears like broken pearls. While wiping away her tears, she pointed at Father Qin and said, "Ask him, what good things have he done?"

Qin Yong saw his mother crying so sadly, his father dragged his mother to beat and scold him, but he also lost his mind.

"Mother, I think it's better to discuss this matter with the Li family. Cows are no better than other livestock. If it suddenly disappears, there is no way to explain it..." Before Qiuxiang finished speaking, she was called Qin Yong slapped the knife sharply, and Qiu Xiang shrank her head back.

Mrs. Gu originally wanted to make a fuss, but after hearing what Qiu Xiang said, her son and husband had nothing to say, which strengthened her confidence, so she didn't care about it any more, and ran to Li's house without hesitation.

"You mother-in-law who fears the world will not be chaotic!" Qin Yong watched his mother run out, and he followed, while Qiu Xiang followed behind with a look on his face, only Qin's father kept his head down and did not speak.

Ms. Gu ran to Li's house with tears in her eyes. Li Sanlang was adding fire to the pot. Mrs. Li added wormwood and water to the pot from time to time, while Song Yaomei sprinkled freshly boiled wormwood on the floor of each room. water.

Seeing that there was no one in the yard, Mrs. Gu immediately shouted in a crying voice: "Mr. Li, come out!"

Li Shi was about to put the wormwood into the pot, and tears flowed down her hands. She was about to turn around and go out with difficulty, but was stopped by Li Sanlang.

Li Sanlang grabbed Li Shi's arm, and told his mother not to be afraid with his eyes, everything depends on him. Li Shi looked at his son and stood there with tears in his eyes.

At this time, Song Yaomei, who was still spreading wormwood water in the room, also heard it, and came out with a basin, "Yo, Aunt Gu is here!"

"Who is your aunt!" Gu Shi spat, and finally wiped the tears from her face, and said calmly: "Your cattle passed the foot-and-mouth disease to our cattle, what do you say? ?”

Song Yaomei took a deep breath, and it was really because of this reason, "Then what does Auntie want to say?"

Originally, Song Yaomei was a little worried about Father Qin, fearing that he would not know how to explain to Gu Shi, but now that Gu Shi came here angrily to ask for an explanation, she let go of her heart. This argument is nothing more than losing money.

At this moment, Li Sanlang also came out, seeing Li Sanlang's cold eyes, Mrs. Gu lost her courage, and did not dare to say what she was about to say.This Li Sanlang is a fool, what should he do if he gets sick and beats her?

Gu's eyes dodged, her heart was flustered, but she caught sight of Qin Yong and Qiu Xiang who were running over, and her courage suddenly grew, she straightened her back, "Our cattle are always healthy, but Because your calf is about to disappear, but mine cost a lot of money to buy, you must pay me the right price, or I will never end with you."

After Gu's finished speaking, he didn't care about his image anymore, and sat down on the ground.

Song Yaomei replaced the basin in her hand with one arm, "Then how much do you want?"

"Eight taels!" Gu said without hesitation. She had already calculated that this adult cow needs ten taels of silver, and there are still three taels in the family. two silver.

Eight taels?This Mrs. Gu is not afraid of slipping his tongue when he speaks, "Sister-in-law, you are not afraid of slipping your tongue when you say this. This eight taels of silver can buy at least three calves. If you buy an adult ordinary cow, you can buy one, and there are one or two more Two taels of silver. I don’t know how these eight taels are calculated?” Song Yaomei admitted that in this matter, although her family did not intend to make a mistake, if the Qin family’s cattle were really lost, it would be because of her own reasons. Compensation is justifiable, but it is impossible for her to comply with such an extortionate price.

Mrs. Gu knew that her thoughts had been exposed by Song Yaomei, but she didn't show any shame on her face. She rolled her eyes, "My cow is the best cow. It has never been sick for so many years, and its personality is docile. Now , there is a cattle disease in the north, so it will not be affected here, and we don't know if we can buy healthy cattle in a short time, so we have to pay for the loss caused by the absence of cattle these days?"

Song Yaomei snorted coldly: "Auntie, the reason why I called you Auntie is because of Uncle Qin. Are your cows definitely sick now? Not to mention that it is because my cows are infected. , just come here so carelessly to ask for compensation, what if your cattle don't have the foot-and-mouth disease?"

Mrs. Gu's heart is also in a mess. Qiuxiang said that the cow was sick. When she got home, she saw her husband burning moxa water again. If it was all right, would he do it like this?Others don't understand, but she is a roundworm that crawled out of his husband's stomach, and if Father Qin wants to come to the kitchen on weekdays, he still has to scold her to death!Now he took the initiative to come to the kitchen, but if...

Thinking about it, she looked at Qiuxiang, and Qiuxiang panicked. She said all these words. If Niu is fine, then she, who had no status at home, will have even less status now. Maybe it will make Qin Yong divorced her.Although the Qin family is not a wealthy family, the members of the family are very diligent. In this Song family village, they can be considered a well-to-do family. Regardless of mother, those sister-in-laws can drown her even if they spit in one mouthful.

She summoned up all her courage, and gave Gu a positive and unsure look.

With Qiuxiang's support, Mrs. Gu became more certain in her heart. I am afraid that Song Yaomei wants to procrastinate here and wait for her father-in-law Qin. If he comes, the relationship between him and Mrs. Li must not lower the price. low?There may even be no compensation.

No, she had to make a quick decision, and she rolled her eyes again thinking about it, "Then how much do you think you should pay?"

Just when Song Yaomei was thinking about how much to give, Father Qin interrupted her thoughts with a word.

"What do you pay for? This disease has not been confirmed. Even if it is confirmed, it is a natural and man-made disaster. No wonder others, besides, how many years has this Sanlang called your sister-in-law? It's fine if you don't help when something happens, and I'm still thinking about it." Fan the fire." Father Qin took a puff of his cigarette and walked slowly towards here.

As soon as Gu Shi heard this, she quit. At first, she thought that as long as she could recover some losses, she changed her mind, "You still know that Saburo calls me my sister-in-law? You know that you are someone else's uncle, so don't keep talking about it." Thinking about other people's mothers!"

Father Qin got angry when he heard that, he picked up the cigarette and was about to come up to beat Gu Shi, Gu Shi moved aside, tearfully said: "You still don't allow me to say, you don't even think about who you are, you just He is the long-term worker of Mr. Li's family, and he is delusional about the daughter of the Li family, but this Li family is also shameless, such a good family affair, the children of rich and noble families don't want it, but he just fell in love with Li Gui, a poor boy, and even paid for it. eloped."
