Guide to raise my cutie husbands

Chapter 842: Bovine feverYu Dong looked down at the calf which was tugging at her sleeve and then tried to pull it away from its mouth not willing to change her mind, it was too weak —— though it might be wiser than the rest, it was nothing special. The three goats in her house were smarter than it and no matter what kind of cow she was to buy it will become just as smart as this calf in a matter of a few months, there was no need for her to waste her time with it.          

    

However no matter how much she tugged or pulled, the calf did not let go of her sleeves which caused a stalemate situation to rise, seeing that the seller was still whipping the calf and the latter was still holding on to her sleeves, she sighed and opened her mouth, "All right stop whipping it." She turned to look at the seller who was hitting the calf a bit annoyed when she saw that the behind of the calf was now almost bleeding.      
It was being treated like this when she was selling it? Then how in the world did she treat it when it was at home? Yu Dong looked at the calf whose feet were trembling and carefully assessed his condition, it was just as she expected.      

The calf was malnourished, he might have been born with a weak body but if its owner took good care of it, it might have grown a bit sturdy and would not be on the verge of dying but maybe the seller saw that she could not get much from the calf she did not even bother to feed it and the old cow received the same treatment since she failed to give birth to a healthy calf.     

What Yu Dong did not know was that the seller was in fact not serious about hitting the calf, in fact, she only used half the strength which she used on the calf every day, if she used all her strength then the calf would be on the ground moaning in pain.     

She was only making a show of hitting the calf and pulling it away from the well-dressed woman, the seller knew that the woman in front of her could easily purchase these two dead weights and take them with her which was why she deliberately tried to evoke the sympathy of the woman.      

In fact, she was rather satisfied with the performance of the calf. It might be useless but it was smart enough to catch such a good customer for her! Hehe, this way she will be able to earn twenty silver taels with ease!      

" Miss it seems that the calf has some predestined relationship with you, why don't you take it along?" The seller suggested with a sweet smile on her face as she tried to butter Yu Dong up who raised a brow and then looked at the smiling seller, she did not expect that this seller was such a shrewd person.      

What was more this shrewd woman was almost able to fool her!      

With her eyes rolling in their sockets, Yu Dong sighed. Today was really not her day, first, she met with the Shen mother and daughter pair and now she found this sticky calf, who would have thought that a single strawberry packet would end up creating so much trouble?      

Though she was annoyed she still asked the seller, " What is the price of the mother and the calf ?"      

Fine, let's just buy it since it was not willing to let go of her. She will take it as doing a good job by saving a calf which was on the verge of dying what was more it was a creature that fed on her spiritual energy and took her as his saviour, she did not like the idea of leaving it to die but who would have thought that her kindness would be seen as a weakness because a second later she heard the seller say,     

" Hehe not expensive … they are not expensive at all—— just twenty silver taels."      

When the seller gave out that price the crowd which was surrounding the calf and the cow was shocked. Twenty silver taels and this woman had the audacity to say that it was simply twenty silver taels and was not expensive, why don't she fly in the sky?     

" Why don't you go ahead and try to buy the heavens?!" Village head Gu snapped harshly when she heard the exorbitant price which the seller told them. A calf was sold for at most six to seven taels and a cow around seven taels and that too when she was young and not old! This old cow can only be sold for four or five taels, yet this seller had the face to speak of such a huge price!      

The seller indeed had quite a thick skin, she was not bothered by the gazes of the people who were looking at her instead she opened her mouth and then said in a smiling voice, " It might look like it is a bit on a higher side but look at them! The cow conceived this calf in one shot which shows that she is really fertile and can help you in increasing the number of calves in your livestock. And the calf is smart as well, look at it! How sensible and perfectly——"     

" The two of them are sick," Yu Dong interrupted the seller, she did not wish to make trouble for the seller and if she had been honest with her she would not have found trouble with her but this woman was simply too much. She looked at the shocked seller who was gaping at her and then continued speaking, " They are malnourished and suffering from bovine fever, which will need at least ten to twelve taels to treat, how dare you sell a sick calf and mother in the cattle market and even bring it to the public? Do you not know that it can infect other cattle as well?"
