Chapter 230: Could it be an accident?
County Magistrate Zheng walked around the skinny old ox curiously, circling it again and again.
"What's the matter, County Magistrate?" Old Man Su asked in confusion.
"Brother Su, you are being too polite again, aren't you?" County Magistrate Zheng frowned and said dissatisfiedly.
"Haha..." Old Man Su laughed, "I'm too reserved, Brother Zheng."
Only then did County Magistrate Zheng reveal a satisfied expression and patted the old ox.
"Brother Su, is this cow...really what Fu Ya wants to buy?"
"Yes, what's the matter?"
"What's so magical about this cow?"
After County Magistrate Zheng finished speaking, he continued to circle around the old ox with an excited look on his face.
Could it be... this is the legendary divine bull?
But why did he feel that, apart from the fact that he was going to die, there was nothing magical about it?
County Magistrate Zheng touched the cow's head, then touched its butt...
The corners of Old Man Su's mouth twitched.
"Brother Zheng, I was just about to tell you, this cow... should be ready for slaughter. I'm thinking of slaughtering it when I get back..."
"Kill it?!"
County Magistrate Zheng shouted in disbelief.
Old Man Su was startled.
Instead of killing it, why not keep it for the New Year?
No, I’m afraid this cow won’t live to see the New Year.
"No, Brother Zheng, look at the teeth of this cow. It's almost toothless. If we don't kill it, what's the point of keeping it?"
As Old Man Su spoke, he pried open the old ox's mouth and let Magistrate Zheng see.
County Magistrate Zheng said, "...This was bought by Fu Ya!"
An incredible cry.
Old Man Su: "...So?"
Asked with a puzzled look.
County Magistrate Zheng: “…”
Old Man Su, “…”
County Magistrate Zheng and Old Man Su stared at each other.
Little Tangbao was watching from the side and was so upset that he just pretended not to see it.
Then, continue to promote Dahong to Honghong.
Unfortunately, Honghong held her head high with an attitude of looking down on the world.
Dahong stood in front of Honghong, lowering his horse's head with a look of submission.
"Honghong, don't bully Dahong." Xiaotangbao taught.
Honghong lowered her head, rubbed Xiaotangbao, then glanced at Dahong and snorted in disdain.
Dahong lowered her head obediently, wanting to rub against Xiaotangbao with a wronged look on her face.
Seeing this, Honghong suddenly let out a warning roar, and Dahong was so scared that he immediately took a few steps back.
Little Tangbao pinched her waist and said in a baby voice, "Honghong, if you continue to be so overbearing, I will ignore you!"
Honghong immediately went to try to please Xiaotangbao.
Little Tangbao pinched her waist, snorted proudly, turned her head away and ignored Honghong.
Honghong: “…whimper…”
He cried out twice in grievance, then raised his proud head and took the initiative to rub against Dahong.
Dahong snorted loudly as if she was flattered.
Boss Su was shocked.
"Sister, why is this horse so smart? So human-like?!" Boss Su asked in surprise.
Su Xiaoliu was playing with a magnet in his hand, looking as if his big brother was making a fuss.
"Brother, Honghong is very human and always listens to her sister."
After saying that, he looked at Dahong and added, "Dahong also understands human nature. Oh, yes, our Dabai also understands human nature and listens to his sister very much..."
When Su Xiaoliu said this, Boss Su also thought of the puppy at home.
He always felt that there was something wrong with that little puppy.
Whose dog doesn’t bark naturally?
But Dabai still needs to learn.
My nephew Siwa treats teaching Dabai to bark as his daily job.
Old Mrs. Su looked at her with a smile and fanned the little girl with the fan in her hand.
County Magistrate Zheng exploded as soon as he saw the magnet in Su Xiaoliu's hand.
"Fuya can even pick up a piece of iron while peeing on the road!" County Magistrate Zheng looked at Old Man Su with a look of disappointment and shouted, "That piece of iron can solve a case, catch the bad guys, and benefit the people. But how can Fuya buy a dying cow for nothing?!"
Old Man Su, “…”
County Magistrate Zheng continued, "Tell me yourself, who has the ability to cheat money out of Fu Ya? Aren't you afraid of retribution? Have you forgotten what happened to those human traffickers?"
Old Man Su, “…”
"Then tell me, what else can this cow do except that it is about to die of illness?" Old Man Su said helplessly.
County Magistrate Zheng: “…”
If I knew what was going on, would I still ask you?
"Fuya, come here."
County Magistrate Zheng had a grin on his face, like a big bad wolf kidnapping children.
Little Tangbao walked over.
"Uncle County Magistrate."
"Good boy, Fuya, tell me, why did you buy this cow?"
County Magistrate Zheng pointed at the old ox.
Little Tangbao showed an annoyed expression, frowned, and said seriously: "I saw that person crying so pitifully and was so sincere and filial, so I couldn't help but help him. Who knew that he deceived me..."
County Magistrate Zheng: “…”
Could it be that... he was wrong?
Was Fu Ya really cheated this time?
Why does he feel that... it's impossible?
"Then...can this cow be cured?" County Magistrate Zheng asked again.
Little Tangbao shook his head, "I don't know."
She is not a veterinarian, so how does she know if the cow can be cured?
However, this is such an old cow, I'm afraid...
County Magistrate Zheng said somewhat unwillingly, "How could you not know?"
Little Tang Bao said in confusion: "How would I know?"
County Magistrate Zheng: “…”
Little Sugar Baby, "..."
"What's the matter? Why are you all standing here? Did you buy a carriage?"
The voice of the county magistrate's wife, Mrs. Ye, came over.
Behind Ye, there were two maids carrying things.
Old Mrs. Su hurriedly brought little Tangbao to greet them.
Ye took Mrs. Su's hand affectionately and said in a friendly tone, "No need to be polite, we are not outsiders."
Then, she looked at Little Tangbao and said, "Hurry! Fuya, let auntie hold you."
After saying that, she bent down and picked up little Tangbao, "Oh my, you really miss your aunt so much! Does Fuya miss your aunt?"
Ye kept calling her "Auntie", which gave little Tangbao goosebumps.
Why did she feel that the county magistrate's wife was becoming more affectionate towards her?
This kind of intimacy made her feel a little creepy.
She remembered that the last time the county magistrate's wife came, she still called herself "Auntie", so why did she upgrade to "Auntie" this time?
If you don’t know, you would think that she and her mother are going to become sworn sisters.
Little Tangbao didn't know that she accidentally revealed the truth.
Knowing that County Magistrate Zheng and his wife were going home, Old Man Su and Old Lady Su decided not to go shopping at the market.
Fortunately, there was a stall selling horse-drawn carriages next to the livestock market.
Old Man Su spent four and a half taels of silver to buy a new cart and equipped it with a saddle and other items.
Counting up the various expenses, it would cost about seventeen or eighteen taels of silver to purchase the complete carriage.
"Dad, can Dahong pull the cart?" asked Boss Su with some concern.
Although Dahong looked energetic, he had just removed the poison needle.
Moreover, he didn't even take any detoxification medicine.
Old Man Su touched Dahong's neck and said uncertainly, "It should be okay. Look at this horse, how energetic it is."
As if responding to Old Man Su's words, Dahong raised his neck.
“Wheeze…”
Make a series of loud calls.
Old man Su immediately smiled brightly.
“What a fine horse!”
The little girl really has good taste!
When Old Man Su thought of this, he couldn't help but turn back to look at the old ox.
This old ox, could it be possible that... this was really an accident?
