The Huang Residence.
Huang Xiaoliu, who had been standing tall and proud, couldn't help but take a few steps back after sensing Jiang Nuan's suppressed anger.
"Huang Xiaoliu," Jiang Nuan roared, her face darkening, "you come here right now!"
Moo!
Little Six impatiently wagged its tail, not daring to go forward.
"Come over or run out of food, it's your choice!"
Upon hearing this, the whole cow was in a bad mood.
Is there any other choice?
Finally, he dawdled over slowly and ingratiatingly circled around Jiang Nuan.
"Catching a thief is cool, isn't it?" she glanced at him sideways. "Stepping on someone's balls is stress-relieving, isn't it? You think you're the best, right?"
Upon hearing this, Huang Xiaoliu let out a soft moo, his eyes darting back and forth guiltily, not daring to look at Jiang Nuan.
This is a complete contrast to his previous arrogant demeanor.
Seeing this, Jiang Nuan said meaningfully, "Summer is here, it's time to get restless."
Huang Xiaoliu was extremely uneasy, but dared not make a move. The dog and white goose that were with it had long since moved far away, shrinking their necks to minimize their presence.
"Second brother," Jiang Nuan continued slowly, "I remember that the butcher in town also takes on the job of fanning pigs. Go buy a pig and send it over, so that Xiao Liu can see what it's like."
Upon hearing this, the entire cow bristled, its fear mixed with unease, and a hint of grievance and accusation.
It was as if they couldn't believe that Jiang Nuan could be so ruthless!
Huang Lao Er was always particularly sensitive to anything related to Huang Xiao Liu, and he immediately grasped the deeper meaning of the matter.
He excitedly suggested, "One is too few, how about ten? Otherwise it will end too quickly and Xiao Liu won't be able to see it clearly."
Jiang Nuan felt she was already quite monstrous, but she never expected her second son to be even more of a devil.
However, considering that Huang Xiaoliu needed to be taught a lesson, he nodded slightly in agreement.
Immediately, the ox let out a shrill scream, clearly unwilling.
Experiencing it once is already a pain that can never be touched again in this lifetime. If one were to witness it again, the entire life of a cow would be ruined.
“Take those dogs with us too,” Jiang Nuan sneered. “If you’re going to be an accomplice to a beast of burden, you should be prepared to share the hardships.”
She wanted to see who would dare to mess around with Huang Xiaoliu after this incident!
"Okay," Huang Lao Er was grinning from ear to ear, his eyes almost closed. "Don't worry, Mother, your son will definitely handle this matter perfectly."
After saying this, he dragged Huang Xiaoliu, who refused to leave, away.
"Mother," Xie Shi cautiously leaned closer, "Wouldn't that be too harsh?"
Judging from how enthusiastic Xiao Liu is about sending people to the palace, you can tell how much this ox cares about being castrated.
If you let a cow watch a pig being castrated, I wonder if it would be able to bear it.
"How could that be?" Jiang Nuan sneered. "Doesn't it like it itself?"
Those who steal grain are indeed hateful.
To steal away someone's hard work of half a year, especially their most important food, is practically murder; they deserve to be killed.
However, this is not a reason for Huang Xiaoliu to arbitrarily attack people.
She was able to handle it last time, and she can protect it this time too. But if there's a next time, who knows if she'll have the same luck?
I had warned her repeatedly before, but since she wouldn't listen, then I can't blame her for bullying the cow.
"That's true," Xie thought, a tear of sympathy welling up in her heart for Huang Xiaoliu. "Not casting him out isn't a big deal, but..."
Then, changing the subject, she added, "What they did yesterday was a good deed, so Mother doesn't need to worry about it too much."
“If it weren’t for this,” Jiang Nuan took a deep breath, “I wouldn’t mind sending it back to the palace for the second time.”
I used to think that my second son was even dumber than my sixth son.
Actually, she was wrong.
At the very least, his second son was doing human affairs.
“Mother,” Jin asked, puzzled, “I don’t think Xiao Liu did anything wrong, so why are you so harsh on them?”
She had accomplished something great, yet she was punished like this; she couldn't understand it for a long time.
Before Jiang Nuan could speak, Huang Xiaosan explained, "Anything abnormal is suspicious. Such ostentation might attract unwanted attention. Who knows if someone is plotting something? Besides, what business is a cow having with people's affairs? Protecting its master is understandable, but what about yesterday?"
If it weren't for its own protection, those victims would have torn it to shreds, even though it was just a single cow.
That's right, Xiao Liu is indeed powerful, but it can't stand against the entire Great Zhou.
"Too!"
Kim lowered her head.
Because Huang Xiaoliu was too clever, she always treated cows as people.
In reality, they are ultimately different.
Humans know propriety, righteousness, benevolence, wisdom, and trustworthiness; they understand ethical principles and how to weigh advantages and disadvantages. But even the most intelligent ox has never learned these things.
Perhaps, being exposed to such influences will help.
Thinking of this, she suggested softly, "Why don't we let them read and write, and be influenced by sages?"
"That's a great idea!" Madam Xie clapped her hands excitedly. "Even if we don't learn anything remarkable, it's good to know what we can and cannot do."
Huang Xiaoliu is the one in the entire Huang family who drinks the most water from the space. Even I can't compare to him. Even if he doesn't have the intelligence of an adult, he is at least equivalent to a seven or eight-year-old child.
After thinking about it carefully, Jiang Nuan realized that the feasibility seemed to be very high.
He immediately replied, "From now on, let them learn alongside Da Niu and Er Niu."
Whether I learn it or not doesn't matter; having this thing to keep me occupied will at least make me more obedient.
Agreed!
After discussing this matter, the family went to the village.
Since we no longer have Xiao Liu, we have to rent a car.
When Huang Lao Er delivered the piglets to the butcher, he specifically instructed him to cut them slowly and carefully, making sure not to miss a single piece.
"Don't worry about that," the butcher assured, patting his chest. "I've been a butcher for thirty years, and I've castrated at least eighty or a hundred animals. I'm sure I won't leave a single one alive."
After saying that, he skillfully and nimbly began to move.
Huang Xiaoliu and his dogs, who had been on guard ever since they entered the yard, had their eyes gleaming with greed after seeing the butcher's actions, as if they wanted nothing more than to kill him.
The butcher felt a chill run through him. He turned around and saw a pack of dogs and cows staring at him menacingly. In a moment of panic, he stabbed them.
The piglet, its limbs bound, struggled pitifully as the knife fell.
"Young man," the butcher thought to himself, his heart pounding, "these animals of yours are quite wild. What if they pounce on me?"
He was a butcher, so he wasn't afraid of the animals, but he was worried that if he hurt them, he would have to pay compensation.
"It's alright, don't worry about them, they won't dare." He then gave Xiao Liu a warning look, "Behave yourself, or next time I'll replace you with a pig."
Moo!
That's simply bullying the cow.
Huang Xiaoliu paced anxiously in circles.
Huang Lao Er, however, did not want him to escape this ordeal, so he pressed down on the ox's head and forced it to watch.
A short while later, the first piglet was cured.
The butcher dragged it onto some straw and then instructed it, "Be careful not to get it wet these next few days, especially not with tap water. If you can survive this, it will live."
If you can't survive, you'll die.
This is also why very few people are willing to castrate their own pigs.
“I understand. Life and death are predestined, and no one can be blamed,” Huang Lao Er glanced at Huang Xiao Liu and smiled sinisterly. “Let’s continue. There are still several more waiting.”
