"Aunt Ning, this is the village chief of Xishan Village. He's here today to buy piglets."
Uncle Tan, this is Aunt Ning. She's an expert at raising pigs.
"Our village's old sow depends entirely on her!"
Zhao Jincai introduced Tan Dingguo with a smile.
Upon hearing Zhao Jincai's words, Tan Dingguo withdrew his gaze from the man and nodded.
When Aunt Ning heard the village chief's introduction, she trembled almost imperceptibly.
She looked up in astonishment and stared at Tan Dingguo.
"West...West Mountain Village?"
She remembered that the family that replaced Daya was also from Xishan Village.
Since this person is the village chief of Xishan Village, he must know how Daya is doing, right?
Back then, her family was so poor they couldn't even afford to eat, so she had no choice but to give her eldest daughter away to someone else.
Although she knew it was Xishan Village, she didn't dare to go there. She was afraid that the family would make her bring Daya back.
But she still has three children to raise, and if Daya comes back, they will only starve to death.
Although she felt guilty for sending her away, at least this way, they could all survive!
Thinking of this, Aunt Ning's lips trembled, wanting to ask Tan Dingguo but not daring to.
She was afraid, afraid to hear the bad news about Daya, but she couldn't help thinking that since Xishan Village had the money to buy piglets, they shouldn't be so poor that they didn't have enough to eat.
The couple who replaced Daya seemed like honest people; they probably wouldn't mistreat her.
When Daya left, she was only 6 years old. More than ten years have passed since then. I wonder what she looks like now?
After Tan Dingguo looked away, he didn't look at Aunt Ning again.
After all, although both of them were getting on in years, it wasn't really appropriate for a grown man to always listen to a woman's opinions.
As for resembling Ning Jing, it's normal for people to look alike.
If it really has anything to do with Ning Jing, Zhao Family Village is not far from their Xishan Village, it's impossible that they haven't had any contact for so many years!
Therefore, Tan Dingguo quickly put aside his doubts.
As Zhao Jincai walked to the pigpen, he carefully examined the piglets.
Just as Zhao Jincai had said, the piglets were all quite good-looking, plump and fair-skinned.
It seems that Aunt Ning really knows how to raise pigs.
Tan Dingguo's previous concerns were swept away. He said to Zhao Jincai, "Village Chief Zhao is indeed an honest man. Then wait until these piglets are weaned and can eat pig feed, and then send them to us. We will exchange the goods for money at the same time."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Jincai nodded repeatedly and assured him, "Don't worry, Uncle Tan, I guarantee that when these piglets are delivered to your village, they will be just as plump and healthy as they are now."
After all, every extra pound means an extra dollar. If they lose weight from hunger, it will be a loss for Zhao Family Village.
The two agreed, and Tan Dingguo even left 5 yuan as a deposit, which made Zhao Jincai feel even more at ease.
It seems that Xishan Village is genuinely interested in buying piglets. He had wanted to ask for a deposit, but he was too embarrassed to say so.
Unexpectedly, the village chief of Xishan Village was so sensible, not hesitating at all when it came to paying the deposit.
After paying the deposit, Tan Dingguo prepared to go back.
He still had to go back and check on the eggs at the farm. Although he knew the accountant was there and everything should be fine, he was still worried and couldn't put his mind at ease.
As Aunt Ning watched Tan Dingguo about to leave, her hesitant expression shifted several times, unsure whether she should go up and ask him a question.
