Having found a way, the eight of them went to the farm again and discussed with the owners whether they could take away one of the milk-producing ewes first.

Tao Ronglin touched the pattern under the belt buckle and said with a heart full of longing.

Tao Ronglin smiled upon hearing this. Why shouldn't you accept payment for something you've already given away? "It's your duty to be filial to your master and mistress."

Is it meat? There's no meat or bones outside, but what can't we share some with Big Yellow? If we give a few more bites, we can feed those bad guys. Okay.

"Oh, Master, today is a good day. There are dumplings being made outside your house."

You're thinking of taking these three back with you and raising them all, and maybe having Big Yellow feed the big tiger while you're at it?"

The tiger cub must have been very hungry. When it smelled milk, it instinctively crawled over and started eating.

You did have another meaning, it wasn't that you were afraid of Qin Qiuyan, but that you knew how to manage money and were frugal.

Sheng Xiping suddenly realized something, said "Oh," and nodded.

"Old woman, hurry up and pick a few more dishes. We'll have Liu Xiping over for dinner tonight. You guys need to have a few drinks."

Is it true that women have eight essential items: a lighter, a belt, and a watch?

"Yes, that tiger cub looks like it was destined to die. Fine, we've brought it all back, let's just keep it. What else can we do?"

Liu's young wife quickly responded, told Qin Qiuyan to leave the room, and took the meat that Qin Qiuyan handed over.

"Tonight, boil all these bones. Tomorrow morning, give him the bone broth to eat. I guarantee he'll get sick from it, otherwise I won't have enough milk to feed these eight."

Xiaoqing and Qiqing recognized Tao Ronglin and could smell the meat in Qin Qiuyan's hands. The dogs wagged their tails at Qin Qiuyan, whimpered, and tried to bite.

Like Zhang Shuzhen, Tao Ronglin loved to nag. No matter how much he disliked those things, he would always mutter a few words about them.

The two grandsons of the Liu family are eight or seven years old, which is the perfect time for them to have free time and go out and play.

"Sister-in-law, are your master and mistress home? You came all this way just to see them." Tao Ronglin shook his head and smiled.

"No, no, they're all in the kitchen. Go and cut the meat."

Anyway, we'll just have to put in some effort to take care of the family and the elderly. In a few months, we'll go down the mountain to hunt more often and bring back less meat to feed the tigers.

Nowadays, few people wear belts; most simply find a strip of cloth and tie it around their waist.

"My apprentice is so thoughtful, he knows what his master hates the most. You're just being polite to him, his master."

As the eight men were leaving the farm and heading to Captain Hu's house, Wang Jianshe suddenly remembered that incident.

I also brought some things back to my master and mistress from the provincial capital, so I thought I'd take them with me.

He carried the piece of meat back home and handed it to his sisters-in-law, Liu, telling them to handle it as they saw fit.

And so, Tao Ronglin hurried home, found the things I had bought for my master and mistress in the provincial capital, and cut off a small piece of the bear meat that had been distributed outside the house that day.

Logically, the Sheng family should get half of this bear.

Dahuang was so frightened by the tiger cub that it dared not move and could only let the cub nurse.

Sheng Xiping picked up the belt, examined it closely, and then let it go.

Qin Qiuyan was carrying meat in her hand, and she was also trying to tease the dog, so she left the house with her things.

Well, here's the thing: you went down the mountain today and brought back a big tiger.

Tao Ronglin smiled and put the rest of his belongings under the kang (a heated brick bed).

These two puppies had just snatched some food; they were shaking their big heads and nuzzling around to nurse.

They were cooking in the inner room, and to prevent the two of them from causing trouble, the elderly couple, Sheng Xiping and Liu Changde, had to watch the children.

As for these two big puppies, their spot was taken, so they just shook their heads and whimpered.

"Remember what I said, don't mess with it. I need to go to the store and see if they sell any milk powder."

Dahuang was also the dog paired with Qilang Shen. Everyone said it was bad news, that if they had puppies, one of them would have to be given to the Sheng family, and that would be something they could renege on.

"Luckily, Dahuang only had two cubs, and even with the tiger, it can still feed them. If it had four cubs, feeding them would be too much for it."

Qin Qiuyan was already somewhat confident, but she still wanted to give it a try. When she realized that the tiger cub was actually willing to drink dog milk, her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

You rarely go out, especially to the provincial capital, so you should at least bring the little guy some things, right? It doesn't have to cost much, so he can accept them.

Thinking about all this, Sheng Xiping also had a headache. This thing was getting smaller and smaller. How was he going to raise it?

"Wow, his son is getting more and more powerful, he's even caught a tiger cub?"

"That's brown bear meat we hunted this morning after we came down from the mountain. Sister-in-law, please put it away."

The Liu family already knew, which is why Liu's young wife said those things.

Reminded by Wang Jianshe, Qin Qiuyan suddenly remembered that she had heard from someone outside the family that her master's yellow dog gave birth to two big dogs a few days later.

Master and Mistress, this is going too far. If you're going to buy them, you have to buy them all.

"They're all outside. Wait, come inside and sit down. He sees that his brother doesn't care about anything else, he's always thinking about that side."

The Sheng family kept more than half of it. In the morning, Zhang Shuzhen picked out some lean meat, chopped it into filling, and made dumplings. She originally planned to render the remaining fatty meat into oil later in the evening.

Yeah, it doesn't matter if it's a goat or a sheep, as long as there's no milk.

"Alright, go and see your master." Qin Qiuyan waved her hand and hurriedly walked out of the house.

“Master, you went to the provincial capital and bought him a belt on the way. You said it was made of cowhide, but it looked pretty bad to you.”

“Master’s wife, that’s a piece of cloth I bought for him. It’s corduroy, quite thick. He can make a padded jacket for it in the fall, and it will keep him warm.”
