Chapter 67: Unexpected Disaster

"Don't be in a hurry, let's wait and see." Xiao Yan said.

When Lu Qiniang saw a cargo ship approaching the shore and the porters carrying the cargo aboard, she felt a little itchy.

She also wants to try it.

But when she looked at Xiao Yan, she immediately turned off the engine.

Although Xiao Yan was looking at her with a smile, the rejection in his eyes left no room for negotiation.

"I have to go ask Divine Doctor Hu," Lu Qiniang muttered softly, "Is my illness still not healed? I think I should be fine now."

She now weighs over 160 pounds and feels much more relaxed than before.

"Speaking of Dr. Hu, you could have him come to the dock to sell some medicines. For injuries, heatstroke prevention...all kinds of common medicines would be fine. If he doesn't want to come, you can form a partnership with him."

"Let's not form a partnership. We'll easily fall out later, which is actually not good." Daya, who had been silent the whole time, said slowly, "Why don't we take the money and buy the goods from him, then sell them ourselves? Whatever the profit is, it's all ours."

Xiao Yan's eyes were full of approval.

Lu Qinniang, "Yes, yes, that's good. I'm also afraid that if I bring someone into the partnership, I might end up losing money later. Okay, I'll go talk to Dujuanniang later."

Let’s make it clear who is in charge at home. Old Hu has no say.

After watching at the dock for the whole morning, Xiao Yan said he wanted to eat outside.

Lu Qinniang waved her hands repeatedly: "No, go home and eat! Everything outside is expensive. Besides, the pigs have to be fed. Let's go, let's go home!"

Seeing San Ya drooling at the meat buns, she made up her mind and bought three, one for each child.

When he walked outside a house, Xiao Yan suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?"

"They have Impatiens at home," Xiao Yan said. "I see the hostess is at home. Daya, go ask if you can buy one from them so we can go back and plant it."

You can't mess with the little chili pepper, but you can please her.

Lu Qiniang smiled and said, "I'll go. If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten about Erya."

She knocked on the door and explained her purpose: "My second daughter is so vain that she thinks about painting her nails every day..."

The other party was also very generous and dug a plant directly from the soil and gave it to her.

Lu Qiniang held it carefully.

After a while, she saw some purslane on the roadside, so she gave the Impatiens to Xiao Yan and went to pick the purslane herself.

“Pigs love this.”

After returning home, Daya started kneading and rolling out the dough to prepare noodles.

The noodles are made of half white flour and half sweet potato flour, and they are smooth and slippery.

Fresh and tender green spinach, beaten with two eggs to make the sauce, and two greasy salted duck eggs sent by Tong to eat with noodles, is a satisfying meal.

Lu Qiniang carried her purslane to feed the pigs.

"Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan, come and take a look!" Lu Qiniang's panicked voice rang out, "Come and see what happened to our pigs?"

Xiao Yan was originally transplanting the Impatiens plant, and upon hearing this, he hurried out.

"Qiniang, don't panic, what's wrong?" He asked in a deep voice, but did not see Lu Qinniang.

"Pigs, my pigs, they're dead, all dead!" Lu Qiniang cried loudly.

She had already jumped into the pigpen and checked every pig. None of them were showing any signs of life and were dead as a rock.

She didn't cry like this even after being abandoned by Zhang Heyao.

This is going to kill her!

Xiao Yan jumped in without caring about the dirt and put his arm around her shoulders, "Abandoned Mother, Abandoned Mother——"

"Why is life so difficult these days?" Lu Qin's mother's tears and snot were streaming.

All the grievances he had suffered poured out under the stimulation of this blow.

She cried and said, "Have I done something so evil that you treat me like this?"

"Abandoned mother, don't cry, I will buy you more pigs." Xiao Yan was very flustered. In fact, he didn't know what he was talking about.

The man who hadn't blinked an eye when the army was approaching, now threw down his armor and weapons under the attack of Lu Qinniang's tears and snot.

"Abandoned mother, don't cry."

Tears don't belong to her.

She will always be brilliant.

"Xiao Yan," Lu Qiniang blew her nose and wiped away her tears, "Go find some people to help you deal with these dead pigs."

"Daya, go find Liu Xing!" Xiao Yan said to Daya who came after hearing the news.

Daya nodded and hurried away.

Liu Xing happened to be nearby and quickly came over with a few people.

"Oh my god, they're all dead?" Liu Xing was shocked. "Well, I know the owner of the restaurant. Let him take these pigs away quickly. We can sell as many as we can. Every bit of money saved is a bit."

"That won't do!" Lu Qiniang said, "These are pigs infected with swine fever. They can't be eaten by humans! Please help me dig a big hole, the deeper the better, and bury them all. If they infect other pigs, it will be bad."

Liu Xing looked at Xiao Yan.

He thought Lu Qiniang was crazy.

So many pigs, and you just say you don’t want them?

No one has ever heard of anyone getting sick from eating pork.

Don’t say that selling it is harming others. If it weren’t for the money, they would eat it themselves.

Who would be willing to bury so much meat?

Xiao Yan said: "Wait."

"That's right, it can't be buried." Liu Xing said.

When a woman is in charge, the walls collapse and the house falls apart, huh!

He may not be successful, but Xiao Yan is more promising than him.

"No, I mean, these pigs are probably not infected with swine fever, but poisoned."

"Poisoned?"

Everyone was stunned, including Lu Qiniang.

"Let's ask Doctor Hu to take a look. He should know something about it." Xiao Yan said in a deep voice.

Liu Xing sent someone to Tongyifang to invite Doctor Hu, while he himself jumped three feet high, "Okay, okay, don't let me find out who is so despicable and shameless to attack a beast! The beast is killing each other!"

He was so angry.

Lu Qiniang: "Really? Can people be that bad?"

Cutting off someone's source of income is like killing his parents.

These twelve pigs, in particular, are the family's livelihood for the year.

If the poisoning was really intentional, what a huge hatred it would be!

Doctor Hu was carried here by someone.

"Slow down, slow down—"

He had a deep grudge about performing an autopsy on a pig.

"I'm not a veterinarian. Lu Qi Niang, if it wasn't your pig, I definitely wouldn't be able to take care of it. Tell me how much you owe me! If you and Xiao Yan have a daughter, you have to think about my son."

Lu Qi Niang: “…”

His son is so smart and clever, how come he becomes a fool who can't find a wife in his mouth?

"Arsenic." Doctor Hu stood up and let out a sigh of disgust. "Someone poisoned me with arsenic. Who could be so cruel? They wouldn't even spare a pig."

Perhaps he had never seen Lu Qinniang cry like this, so he comforted her stiffly, "It's better than poisoning someone. Just act like a pig and help you avoid disaster."

Lu Qiniang burst into tears again.

The one she has the deepest bond with in her life is the pig.

The pigs have helped her support her three daughters over the years.

The pig helped her get Xiao Yan back.

Now the pigs are helping her ward off disaster.

Pigs, I'm sorry!

"Let's report it to the police," said Doctor Hu. "If someone like this is caught, he'll get a few years in prison at the very least."

"Who cares about you?" Lu Qiniang said self-deprecatingly. "No one upholds justice when you divorce and remarry. How can you expect them to uphold justice for a pig?"

The meat of pigs that have eaten arsenic cannot be eaten.

"Let's burn it," Lu Qiniang said. "Now that so many people know about this, I'm afraid someone will just dig it up and eat it after burying it."

Burning it first and then burying it will make people feel at ease.

"Okay." Xiao Yan nodded.

Twelve pigs that had not had time to grow up were piled together, doused with tung oil, and burned in the fire.

Lu Qiniang felt very sad as she watched the flames devour the pigs bit by bit.

Xiao Yan came over and put his arm around her shoulders.

Doctor Hu clicked his tongue twice, his face turned away with a frown.

This love is so sour and smelly!
