"I didn't cheat on you! Apologize to me!"
The village chief was furious; at his age, he was being smeared with such slander.
Who could bear the thought of losing their reputation in their later years?
"Don't be angry, don't be angry," Lin Mo comforted her, though he couldn't help but laugh inside. He never expected Jiang Ying to actually kiss the old man. He was dying of laughter.
"Village chief, look what I brought."
As he spoke, Lin Mo reached into the sack, grabbed the rabbit by the ears, and pulled the golden shaded hare out.
He had originally intended to give it to Su the carpenter, but after overhearing that conversation, he changed his mind.
Sending gifts in small, scattered ways doesn't change anything. Does Mr. Su the carpenter actually keep track of our expenses in small increments or something?
Hunt as quickly as possible, sell the game for cash, and send the two thousand over.
Then he married Su Xiaoxiao!
This is the proper way to get things done!
"Oh dear, another rabbit caught, and it's still alive!" The village chief's mind was filled with thoughts of being the village's first rabbit breeder, but his attention was immediately diverted upon seeing the rabbit.
"My breeding shed is finally finished, let's put it in quickly."
"Son, hurry outside and gather some rabbit grass!"
Lin Mo obediently put the rabbits in the shed. After putting one down, he took another out of the sack.
Upon seeing two, the village chief was overjoyed.
"Wow, ten piglets! They really got them!" Lin Mo looked at the piglets in the shed and listened to their grunting. It would be a lie to say he wasn't envious.
The little piglet still had yellow and black stripes on its body. It would take about a month for it to shed its downy fur and turn into a dark, spiky piglet.
But by then, he had already gained twenty or thirty pounds of meat, slurp.
"Hey, and they're all females," the village chief said, making no attempt to hide his intentions, his face beaming with excitement as he described his plans.
"Once they're grown up, we'll sell some of them, and keep a few sows to have piglets. We'll get a tube of liquid from the county farm to inject into them, and in a few months, we'll have piglets again."
Hehehehe.
The village chief was overjoyed.
Liu Juan, who was originally full of anger, was also very tempted after hearing this.
My old man really puts all his energy into raising livestock.
Sure enough, that slut came here on her own initiative!
"Lin Mo, it seems I really misunderstood you before," she said, clearing her old man's name and slightly changing her opinion of Lin Mo.
"That slut! That wicked devil!"
"You've already gone to the county! Why didn't you ask those educated youth when they're leaving?"
I don't want to see them again!
It's no wonder Liu Juan had such strong opinions about the educated youth.
The earlier theft and assault cases were originally intended to be handled fairly.
As a result, Xu Zhenting actually pulled out his connections to threaten the village.
Since this didn't cause her any loss, she might have grumbled a few words to herself at most.
Today, incredibly!!!
With both new and old grievances piled up, who could possibly have a good impression of them?
"That should be under the jurisdiction of the Education Bureau, not the Agriculture Bureau. I can't possibly ask the Agriculture Bureau."
The village chief had cleared the jumbled thoughts from his head; all Meizier wanted to think about was raising livestock.
"Let bygones be bygones, don't make a fuss about it in the village."
After exchanging a few words with his wife, Wu Fengshou pulled Lin Mo into the main room.
"It's good that you have hunting skills. I'll give you three yuan each for these two rabbits, how about that?"
"If it works out, bring all the rabbits you catch to me from now on!"
Wu Fengshou was beaming, but what he didn't say aloud was—
Take the rabbit to the county to trade for a hen!
Hens can lay eggs!
My nephew told me that the hens at his farm are all of good breed, the kind that can poop a whole egg a day!
If he could get ten chickens in return, he could collect ten eggs a day!
Now we can have eggs at home every day!
"Three yuan..." Lin Mo was not satisfied with the price and silently gave Wu Feng the nickname "tightwad".
That's incredibly aggressive in driving down prices.
"Pork is 80 cents a pound now, and a rabbit weighs nearly six pounds. Plus, you can get extra money for the rabbit skin."
"It should cost at least five yuan."
Wu Fengshou squinted, not saying a word, just staring at Lin Mo for a while, thinking that this kid was indeed not stupid and he couldn't be fooled.
"Well... five yuan it is, okay!"
He straightened up, supported himself on his knees, went into the inner room, and came out with a ten-yuan bill in his hand.
It's brand new, like it was just withdrawn from the credit union.
This made Lin Mo mutter to himself a few times, wondering just how wealthy the village chief really was.
Ten-yuan bills are rare in most households in the village; you rarely see them throughout the year.
"Thank you, Village Chief!"
Lin Mo took the money and left with a beaming smile.
If only I had come to the village chief's house to sell the rabbit earlier, that stubborn Chen Gang would have only given him one rabbit in exchange for three pounds of rice.
We lost a lot of money.
It was dinnertime at the production team's canteen in the evening.
The villagers, who had been busy all day, were now sitting in the canteen, burying their heads in their porridge, all looking listless.
The reason is simple: the fish is all gone.
After eating meat for two days, I suddenly went back to eating coarse grain porridge.
My stomach is protesting, and my mind is protesting even more.
Lin Mo came to see his mother. He hadn't even had a few days of rest before coming back to work in the team. He wanted to take his mother back home for a nice meal.
However, before the old woman could even see him, someone suddenly appeared in front of her.
It is Xu Zhenting.
Xu Zhenting looked him up and down with a mocking expression, and after a short while, he began to ridicule him:
