As expected, rabbits have a strong reproductive capacity. The rabbit that is pregnant this time is the same one that gave birth last time, and it has become pregnant again in such a short time.
It seems that her row of rabbit hutches will soon be completely full.
After she finished helping with the work, she and Sister Wang prepared to go down the mountain to go back, leaving Sister Sun to stay here and keep watch.
As Xiang Wanwan closed the door and turned around, she caught a glimpse of a figure behind the courtyard wall.
It was already dark, and she couldn't see clearly, so she took two more steps forward, but there was nothing behind the courtyard wall.
"Wanwan, what are you looking at?"
"It's alright, let's go home, sister-in-law." Xiang Wanwan thought she had misread it and followed Sister Wang home.
The next day at noon, Lu Jingnian returned and said that Lu Yaqin and Ning Feng had registered their marriage.
The two of them didn't have a wedding ceremony or a banquet; they just registered their marriage and that was it.
The Ning family couldn't afford the bride price, and ultimately didn't ask for a dowry. Even if he had, the Lu family wouldn't have given it to him.
According to Lu Jingnian, Lu Yaqin's parents will send money to her every month for her to use, as they still can't bear to see her suffer from being pregnant and penniless.
After hearing this, Xiang Wanwan thought to herself that Lu Yaqin's spoiled temperament was all due to being pampered at home.
After lunch, Xiang Wanwan prepared to harvest the grapes.
The bunches of glistening green grapes on the vine were ripe and looked very tempting. Xiang Wanwan resisted eating them and waited for them to ripen and be harvested to make wine.
The main problem was that last year's jar of wine; she and Lu Jingnian finished it in just a few sips, which wasn't satisfying at all.
I've made quite a few this year; enough to dry two piles of grain.
She prepared the scissors, placed the basket on the stone table in the pavilion, and was just about to start when Aunt Sun rushed in.
"Wanwan, something terrible has happened."
Xiang Wanwan put down the scissors in her hand. "What's wrong, sister-in-law?"
Aunt Sun had run all the way here, her forehead covered in fine beads of sweat, and she was panting heavily from exhaustion.
"The pig... the pig is in trouble, it seems to have swine fever."
She immediately put down the scissors in her hand, her brow furrowed.
"African swine fever?"
"Yes, I said I would feed the pigs at noon, but after a short while, I realized something was wrong; one of the pigs had already lay down."
Her pigs drink spring water and are often fed garlic to disinfect them, so how could they possibly get swine fever?
Could someone be behind this?
"Come on, sister-in-law! I'll go with you to take a look."
The two hurried off to the pig farm.
When Xiang Wanwan arrived, she saw Wang Sao squatting in the pigpen, looking anxiously at the pig lying in front of her.
"Sister-in-law, how is she?"
Aunt Wang turned to look at her and shook her head, "It's no use, she's dead."
Xiang Wanwan frowned even more deeply and immediately went forward to check on the pigs.
The pig in front of us already weighs over 100 pounds, and it will be ready to be slaughtered and eaten in two months. I never expected that something would go wrong at this time.
She looked and confirmed that he was indeed no longer breathing.
Then they checked the food in the pig trough and found something that didn't look like a sweet potato vine.
Xiang Wanwan picked it up with her chopsticks and looked at it. "Aunt Sun, what is this?"
"Are there any other things added to the pig feed besides sweet potatoes and sweet potato vines now?"
Looking at the green branch that had been picked out, with a leaf still on it, Aunt Sun said, "I didn't add anything. I just fed it sweet potatoes and sweet potato vines as you said."
"Besides, I always chop up the sweet potato vines before cooking, so there's no way they would have been there."
She reached out and picked up the vine leaf, examining it. "I don't recognize this either." (This chapter has been read. Please click to continue reading the next chapter!)
