Seeing the lost yellow ox returned, the village chief finally felt better.
By the time we had settled the cows and pigs, it was already dawn.
The tragic conditions in the cowshed and pig farm were exposed to the public.
"Village chief, what should we do? How could the cowshed and pig farm collapse when they were in good condition? We repair it every month."
"Maybe the land god is angry. A good social worker temple is filled with the smell of cow dung and pig manure all day long. How can the land god be happy?"
"The feng shui experts said we couldn't build a cattle shed or pig farm there. Now look what happened. It's collapsed for no apparent reason."
"That's right. We were clearly eyeing the location at the end of the village, and you guys said it was haunted. Now the Su family is living well in the haunted house, aren't they?"
"I lost four pigs for nothing, and now I have to pay for two more pigs out of my own pocket. How can I hope for the future?"
The village chief squatted on the ground in silence, watching those people discussing with each other.
"Village chief, please tell me what we are going to do."
The village chief stood up and stomped his feet hard into the grass beside him to rub off the thick layer of dirt stuck to the soles of his shoes.
"What can I do? Can I bring the dead pigs back to life? Go, get someone to kill the four dead pigs. I'll see if I can sell them there. Any money I can get back is a lot."
I hope we don’t have to resort to selling grain to subsidize the economy.
In the drying yard, four white pigs were cut into pieces of meat.
This was the only time in the village that a pig was slaughtered with such a heavy weight.
The confused children gathered around the pork and clapped their hands, "Yeah yeah yeah, there's meat to eat!"
The next second, his own mother covered his mouth.
Didn’t you see that the village chief and the captain’s faces were as dark as ink, yet they were still clapping their hands? Aren’t they stupid?
Children are children, and they speak without restraint.
"Mom, can we have some roast meat tonight? I want some big, fatty meat."
"Eat, eat, eat! Eat your head! It's good enough that you don't have to pay for it, and you still want to eat meat. You have no sense at all. Go home!"
The child who was scolded was not angry. He was used to being scolded like that whenever he wanted meat. Anyway, he would always get to eat meat in the end.
He squatted quietly by the drying yard, staring at the fat pig and swallowing his saliva madly.
When I saw the butcher starting to cut the meat into pieces, I immediately rushed over to line up.
"Whose family are you from, little brat? Get out of here quickly, or I'll splatter you with blood and don't curse at me."
Several children were still queuing and could not be driven away.
It was not until all the meat was carried away, with not a single bit left, that the child realized that there was really no meat to eat and started crying loudly.
"Why are you crying? Your good luck is gone just like that. Go away, don't embarrass me here."
After the rain stopped, the sky was gray, and the colors on the earth also dimmed.
The bustling drying yard returned to silence.
The village chief took people and meat to the black market overnight.
But nowadays people buy meat in quantities of one or two ounces, or at most one or two pounds. How can four pigs be sold at once?
Four or five men were squatting at the foot of the wall, staring at the people coming and going, hoping that a big customer would come and take all their goods.
I sold from the evening to the next morning and only sold one and a half pigs.
The weather is still a bit hot and humid now, and if the meat is not processed quickly, it will soon become smelly.
Cheng Fangyi naturally heard about what happened in the village. When he learned that the village chief had taken people to the black market to sell pork, he directly called Qiangzi to buy up the remaining pork.
To him it was just a trivial matter, but to the village chief it was a matter of life and death concerning everyone's food and clothing.
The village chief put the bag of money in his arms and finally a smile appeared on his face.
He was ready to lower the price, but he didn't expect a big benefactor to come and not only did he not bargain but he raised the price. He made an extra 30 cents per pound of pork, and he didn't have to worry about not having enough money to make up for the two task pigs by the end of the year.
Only then did the village chief have the energy to deal with the reconstruction of the cowshed and pig farm.
"Village chief, I think we should find a feng shui expert first before we start building the cattle shed and pig farm. We must have disobeyed the expert, angering the land god, which is why we've been plagued by accidents one after another."
"You keep talking nonsense with your broken mouth. You even dare to say something like asking a fortune teller to look at your Feng Shui. Don't you want to live anymore?" The village chief's good mood was ruined, and he started to scold the person who was talking.
After a moment of silence, he said, "As for Maodan, tell him to invite Second Master over and tell him that our village needs to rebuild the cowshed, and let him come and make the decision."
Erdaye is the so-called Feng Shui master, and calling him Erdaye can avoid many sensitive issues.
The remaining four piglets were placed with villagers who had pig pens at home.
Villagers who help raise pigs can earn a lot of work points, but they also take on great risks.
The reason was that there were too few piglets in the beginning, and it would easily cause trouble if anyone raised them, so we built a pig farm for everyone to raise together. Unexpectedly, after all the twists and turns, we still returned to the original situation.
Just two incense sticks later, Maodan arrived with an old man with a goatee.
He just walked around Su Qing's house, shook his head, and turned to walk towards the foot of Dahei Mountain.
"Let's do it here. We won't be afraid of offending the nobles."
"Second Master, who is the distinguished person you are talking about?"
"The secret of heaven cannot be revealed. You just need to do things according to your conscience. Sooner or later, the light of the noble will shine upon your family."
"Yes, yes, the cowshed and pig farm are built here."
"No, no, no, the cowshed is built here. It's better to raise pigs at home. They say 'a good harvest means a prosperous livestock'. Raising pigs at home can help you accumulate vitality, and vitality brings good luck."
"Then please pick a date so we can start work."
"Three days later. By the way, it's best not to build any houses in front of the Social Worker Temple, as it will easily attract bad luck and people shouldn't live there. But it's okay to build houses behind the temple."
The village chief was still struggling with how to resettle those who needed reform.
Now it seems that I have no choice but to move here with the cows, otherwise I won’t know if the cows are stolen.
"Remember, it's best not to keep pigs and cows together, otherwise you'll end up with nothing."
After seeing off the second uncle, the village chief immediately gathered the young men to clean up the collapsed cowshed and pig farm, and also brought over the usable bricks, tiles and beams.
The cowshed was originally built with blue bricks. It is too unreasonable that it collapsed so suddenly.
In order to settle the only cow, all the young and old in the village came to help, some moved bricks, some mixed mud, and some handed boards. The cowshed was built in just one week.
Two large houses were built half a meter away from the cowshed. There was some movement going on above. Not knowing how many people would come here this time, the village chief decided to make preparations early.
After finishing all this, the village chief took people to repair the front of the social worker temple, and the three manure pits were also moved to the cowshed.
…
Life is finally back on track.
Just when everyone was lamenting the dullness of their lives, the Ho Tung family, who had returned home in glory, stirred up another wave of high waves on the lake.
