Chapter 186 185: I feel a little reluctant, what should I do?
The two returned to the mountain. Zhou Huaian placed the musk deer in front of Yang Chunyan, put his hands on his waist and looked at her, "Yan'er, look, we killed a musk deer, and it's a male."
Yang Chunyan looked at the musk deer on the ground and said happily: "You two are so lucky!"
Zhou Huaian nodded proudly, "I think so too!"
Zhou Yiding also asked happily: "Sister-in-law, can you cut musk? What is the current price?"
Yang Chunyan looked at the musk glands of the forest musk deer and said, "I don't know. I have never touched musk. If you want to sell it, it is best to send it down the mountain to see Doctor Wang. The price they give is fair."
"Okay!" Zhou Yiding looked at Zhou Huaian, "Let's go down the mountain tomorrow or today?"
Zhou Huaian thought for a moment and said, "It would be too conspicuous to go down the mountain now. I think it is better to go down the mountain early tomorrow morning."
Zhou Yiding nodded, "Yes, let's go back and get some delicious food to reward them."
Zhou Huaian looked at the stone fungus that Yang Chunyan picked up, "Yan'er, let's go back, get some delicious food, dig up the herbs by the ditch, and have a good rest."
Seeing that both of them were busy going back, Yang Chunyan stopped and said, "Let's go!"
The three of them gathered the Polygonum multiflorum on the ground and put it in a backpack, then walked down the mountain together towards their residence. When they reached the bamboo forest, they picked a few bamboo shoots before returning to the yard of the forest farm.
Zhou Yiding excitedly pulled Zhou Huaian to the cave to carry the goat back to kill. When they got to the cave, Zhou Huaian looked at the black goat and said, "Dingding cat, a goat costs about a hundred yuan. I'm a little reluctant to eat it. What should I do?"
Zhou Yiding nodded, "It seems a bit extravagant!"
"It's not just a little extravagant, it's really extravagant!" Zhou Huaian thought for a moment, "Buying a domestic black goat would save half the money. How about we go find a shepherd and buy one?"
"Yes!" Zhou Yiding patted the musk deer and the wild honey in the urea bag. "Youngest brother, after you sell these things, you will have enough money to repair your house."
"That's enough!" Zhou Huaian thought of the wasteland lease, "Ding Ding Cat, my brothers and I have leased the wasteland behind the new foundation..."
"I heard that the wasteland near our side of Guanyin Mountain has been leased by someone. I think you can also find a piece of wasteland to lease. It's more cost-effective than paying public grain."
Zhou Yiding was a little moved after hearing this, "Wait until my husband comes back, I will discuss it with him."
Zhou Huaian nodded. "Let's go. It's freezing cold inside. Let's take a pheasant and a rabbit out to eat. We'll roast the pork intestines tonight."
“Yes!”
The two men took the game out and slaughtered it, then went to the river to dig Polygonatum sibiricum and Polygonatum odoratum.
Yang Chunyan cooked peppered rabbit and bamboo fungus stewed chicken at home. The three of them had a delicious meal before they remembered that they had forgotten to pick Dendrobium officinale when they came back.

Zhou Huaishan and the old man had already arrived in Ning'an. Seeing that the door of Deshengtang was still closed, he unloaded his things and asked the old man to watch him go to the guesthouse to deliver food and eels.
After Huang Yongcai received the things, he said to him, "The youngest one has gone into the mountains again?" He was very satisfied with the dishes from yesterday and praised him.
Zhou Huaishan smiled and nodded, "I went to the forest farm as soon as I got home yesterday. If Brother Huang has anything to say, I'll tell him!"
Huang Yongcai: "Go back and tell him to get some more of the rejuvenation grass and morels. If you get any black goats or other game, send them over as well."
"Okay!" Zhou Huaishan thought of Zhou Huaixing's story, and thought that Huang Yongcai was a government employee, so he must know whether the government had paid the quota to get subsidies. "Brother Huang, someone in our village said that they were sent by the higher-ups to raise funds... Have you heard about it?"
"No, I've never heard of it!" Huang Yongcai felt that this was the most unsophisticated scam he had ever heard of. "It's ridiculous! Paying 100 yuan and getting a subsidy of 10,000 yuan, there is no such good thing in the world! Who is the wicked person who came up with this trick?"
"To be honest, that person is my cousin. He said that he met a nobleman when he was visiting relatives in Baima Town last month..."
Zhou Huaishan explained the whole story clearly.
Huang Yongcai shook his head after hearing this. "It's too wicked to use such a trick to deceive the country folk. Third brother, your decision is right. Now that the matter is not serious, go to the police station and report the case. Otherwise, when the scammers take the money away, your father's family will be in trouble."
Zhou Huaishan: "Thank you, Brother Huang! I will go to the police station with my grandfather to report the case after I deliver the things."
Huang Yongcai: "Go ahead! Fortunately, your old man is a reasonable person!"
Zhou Huaishan hurriedly delivered the eels from the other guesthouses. When he returned to the entrance of Deshengtang, he saw that the door of the clinic was already open, and the old man's bamboo baskets and sacks that had been placed at the door were gone.
Seeing that there were people seeing patients in the clinic, he pushed the chicken cart to the backyard, where Wang Zhen and the old man were weighing the herbs.
"Grandpa, I asked Huang the purchaser, and he said that paying for a quota and getting compensation is just a scam by a liar."
The old man's heart sank when he heard this. "Doctor Xiao Wang, please weigh the animal. The third brother and I will go to the police station."
Wang Zhen nodded readily, "Don't worry, old man. The police station is just at the east end of the bridge. Turn left and walk about a hundred meters to the right."
"Yes, yes!"
The father and son hurried to the police station and reported the situation to the police station. There was no doubt that he was a scammer.
After the police station took note of the incident, they immediately called Baima Town and asked someone to deal with the matter quickly.
The grandfather and grandson still had a sense of luck on the way here, but once the police station confirmed that it was a scam, both of them felt depressed.
The old man was very worried after hearing this, and hurriedly said to the police station: "Comrade, my family was also deceived by them. The man showed him the newspaper printed on it and gave him a letter of appointment with a big seal. He thought he was doing a government job."
He took a breath and continued, "Their family spent all their savings to buy that spot, and they're still waiting to get the subsidy at the end of the year!"
"We will investigate it thoroughly. If they really didn't know, they will be fine."
The old man panicked after hearing this and almost lost his balance. "Comrade, I can guarantee with my life that they really don't know about this. Please make sure to investigate it thoroughly."
Zhou Huaishan hurriedly supported him, "Comrade, my grandfather told them that they were liars. My eldest father showed him the letter of appointment and said that Huaixing was working for the government. They were really deceived."
Seeing the old man's expression change, the police officer at the police station also slowed down his tone and comforted him, "Don't worry, old man. I have written down everything you said. If they are really cheated, the money will be returned to them after the stolen money is recovered."
The old man felt heavy in his heart after hearing this, "Sorry to bother you, sorry to bother you!"
Zhou Huaishan helped the groggy old man out of the police station and said, "Grandpa, let's go back and get our things, take the tractor home, and tell our uncle's family about this."
"Alas!" The old man sighed, "I am only worried about whether Huaixing will be arrested and put in jail."
The father and son returned to Desheng Hall. Wang Zhen gave Zhou Huaishan the bill and asked him to look at it. He then paid him the money and asked, "Brother Zhou, is there something wrong at home?"
"It's not my family, it's my cousin from my grandfather's family..." Zhou Huaishan told Dr. Wang and his father what had happened.
