The shop finally reopened, and the family was celebrating happily when Liu Jianchang stumbled in, shouting, "Auntie, Auntie, something terrible has happened! Half of the chickens at the chicken farm have died!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Lanzhi almost fainted on the spot. All the money had been invested in the planting base. If there were any problems with the chickens at the chicken farm and the chickens could not be delivered on time, she would have to compensate Sai Jinzhi a large sum of money!
Tang Qiqi was eating when she nearly choked to death. This was highly unlikely. The chickens had all been vaccinated, and she had even mixed medicine into their feed. Even if one or two chickens got sick, it wouldn't spread throughout the entire farm. There must be something wrong.
To make matters worse, today was the day Sai Jinzhi's people were to haul away the goods. They already knew the chicken was dead, and Tang Qiqi didn't even have time to get the chicken out of her space to replace it!
Xu Lanzhi was worried about the shop a few days ago, and before she could recover, this incident happened. She was already feeling overwhelmed.
Although she felt very unwell, she dared not collapse, as the chicken farm was waiting for her to return and deal with the situation!
Tang Qiqi saw all of this and felt extremely distressed. She quickly brought Xu Lanzhi a cup of hot tea, replacing the tea leaves with calming tea.
Xu Lanzhi took the tea, ruffled Tang Qiqi's hair, and said, "Qiqi, you stay here and study with your third sister. Mother needs to go back and visit."

Qiqi stubbornly insisted, "Even if something unexpected happens at home, Qiqi has to go back!"
“Yes, we should all go back. Maybe we can be of help!” Yindi and the others said.
Xu Lanzhi smiled with relief: "My girls have all grown up!"
So Tang Xiahe stayed to watch the shop, while everyone else took a car back to Tangjiagou. Fortunately, that cup of calming tea helped Xu Lanzhi make it home!
Wang and Tang Qiumei cried until their tears ran dry at the chicken farm. Wang was heartbroken over the money, while Tang Qiumei felt she had betrayed Xu Lanzhi's trust. Now she was basically managing the chicken farm herself. After such a big incident, would Xu Lanzhi still take them in?
Xu Lanzhi had imagined the scene would be horrific, but she never expected that the once bustling and lively chicken farm would now be a scene of carnage, with chicken corpses everywhere.
When Liu Jianchang went out to deliver the message, most of the chickens had died; now less than 10% of them are still alive.
Xu Lanzhi collapsed to the ground on the spot, too exhausted to even cry!
When Wang saw her daughter-in-law collapse, she had Qiu Mei help her over and sat down next to Xu Lanzhi. She patted her and said, "Child, you can't fall down. Let's think of a way together. We can get through this. This isn't the first time we've encountered something so terrible!"
Xu Lanzhi leaned on Wang Shi's lap, heartbroken, and said, "Mother, this keeps happening, when will it ever end!"

Wang encouraged her, saying, "My child, as the saying goes, every difficulty is a challenge, but you will overcome it. Your mother is here with you!"
"Our master is with us!" The other six daughters said in unison, except for Jiedi who was outside.
Xu Lanzhi felt a warm current flow through her whole body. With such a respectable mother-in-law and so many lovely and sensible children, how could she not cheer up!
Xu Lanzhi took a deep breath and said to them, "Yes, if we all work together, we will definitely get through this!"
"We can definitely do it!" The children's innocent yet powerful voices gave Xu Lanzhi another boost of confidence.
Xu Lanzhi slowly stood up and said to Tang Qiumei beside her, "Third Sister, do you know what caused this?"
Tang Qiumei's tears, which she had barely managed to hold back, burst forth again. She said sadly, "Lanzhi, I don't know. We were as careful as ever, but we don't know where things went wrong. This morning, when we opened the door, it was like this!"
"Lanzhi, I'm so sorry, I failed to protect your chicken farm. Do with it as you please!"
Suppressing her grief, Xu Lanzhi said to Tang Qiumei, "Third Sister, now is not the time to pursue responsibility. First, we need to think about how to deal with Boss Sai. Second, we need to find out the cause of the accident. We can't let these chickens die in vain!"
Third Sister, you take Baogen, Ziqiang, and Yindi and gather the dead chickens together. I'm going to see Manager Li!

At this moment, Erzhuzi came over with a group of workers and said, "Sister-in-law, you can go with peace of mind. The work in the fields is almost done today. I brought the people from the base over to help with the cleanup!"
I think Sister Qiu went to take care of the chicks. I just checked on them, and they're all alive and well. I hope nothing bad has happened to them.
Xu Lanzhi nodded in satisfaction and said, "Then let's do as Erzhuzi says!"
Tang Qiqi took Xu Lanzhi's hand and said, "Mother, I'll go with you!"
As the mother and daughter walked along the road, Tang Qiqi asked, "Mother, what are you planning to say to Manager Li?"
Xu Lanzhi said with a heavy expression, "We said before that if we couldn't deliver on time, we would have to pay double the amount of the goods. Now we can only lose money!"
Tang Qiqi suggested, "Perhaps if we plead with them, they'll show leniency!"
Xu Lanzhi said gently, "Child, doing business is all about integrity. If we can't even do this most basic thing, how will we stand on our own two feet in the business world in the future!"
Tang Qiqi gave a thumbs up in admiration: "Mother, with you at the helm, our business will definitely grow big!"
Tang Qiqi's question just now was merely a wishful thinking, but Xu Lanzhi gave her a lesson that will never be forgotten.

She thought for a moment and said, "Mom, we can buy back all the chickens in the village that are ready for market. Even if it's not enough, it won't be too much of a problem, and it won't have a significant impact on Boss Sai's business for the time being!"
Xu Lanzhi slapped her forehead and said, "Look at my brain, I'm so flustered! There are still some chickens in the village. Let's go see Manager Li first, and then we can collect all the chickens from the village!"
Li Degui was getting anxious and angry because he couldn't get any chickens, and his temper was getting worse.
As soon as Xu Lanzhi arrived, she sincerely apologized to him, then promised to compensate him according to the written agreement, and finally said that she would collect all the qualified chickens in the village as soon as possible so that Li Degui could take them back to deal with the emergency!
Xu Lanzhi didn't complain or shirk any responsibility throughout the entire process, taking full responsibility, which Li Degui hadn't expected.
His main reason for being anxious and agitated was that he was afraid Xu Lanzhi and the others would use the excuse that the incident was an accident to avoid dealing with it, especially since their losses were indeed considerable. Li Degui was worried about how he would explain things to Boss Sai when he got back!
But after Xu Lanzhi's actions, all his worries turned out to be unnecessary. He even felt a little embarrassed and quickly comforted Xu Lanzhi, saying:
"Madam Xu, this matter came suddenly, so it's not your fault. Please give me all the chickens you can get as soon as possible."
Regarding the compensation, I'll talk to Boss Sai about it when I get back and hear her opinion. I'll also convey your stance to her. Boss Sai is a straightforward person, just like you!
Xu Lanzhi thanked her repeatedly.
Li Degui hesitated for a moment and said, "Madam Xu, there's something I'm not sure if I should say."
