"Director Chen, please reconsider."
This is a hot potato; whoever gets involved will have a major headache.
Chen Yunyun pulled her clothes tighter and stood in front of Li Liangtian. "I can help you, but I have conditions."
Upon hearing this, Li Liangtian's eyes lit up, and without hesitation, he agreed, "I'll do anything for you, even be your slave!"
As long as their production team doesn't starve, he, as the brigade leader, is willing to go all out.
Chen Yunyun remained noncommittal as she boarded the oxcart. "Let's go, let's go see your production team first."
A group of people wanted to go with them, fearing that the people from Li Liangtian's production team would bully Chen Yunyun.
A large crowd spontaneously followed her oxcart, and they couldn't be driven away no matter what they tried; it was quite a sight.
This spectacle startled the workers along the road.
"What are you doing?"
"Go and support our factory manager!"
The whole commune spread the word, and the story became increasingly outrageous.
The Eight-Corner Brigade is about to fight the Four-Ear Brigade!
About a hundred people rushed to someone else's production team, carrying hoes and carrying poles, ready to kill someone!
The commune was alarmed and sent forty or fifty "hat uncles". Fearing that they would not have enough manpower to control the situation, they hurriedly found people to fill in temporarily.
Chen Yunyun, who was at the center of the gossip, was completely unaware of the situation. She followed Li Liangtian to see the breeding situation of the Sier Brigade.
Even though I was mentally prepared, I was still so angry at the scene that I lost my temper.
"Seven or eight adult pigs crammed into one pigpen?"
"Your pigs are all sick, being trampled on and not even quarantined?"
"Your pigsty is filthy!!"
Chen Yunyun's slightly reproachful words rang out, and Li Liangtian and the pig farmers didn't quite understand, "Isn't this how pigs are raised?"
"As long as the poop is swept up, that's all that matters."
“That pig doesn’t like to be clean. No matter how well you wash it, it will get dirty again in a couple of days.”
Chen Yunyun couldn't explain to him what bacteria were or what cleanliness and hygiene meant.
She shook her head; it would be strange if she didn't get sick.
Where are those sick pigs?
A large group of people went to the other end of the pigpen, where several sickly pigs were lying.
There was some fresh pig feed in the pig trough, which had hardly been touched.
"These past few days, the pigs haven't been moving around much, haven't been eating, and keep vomiting."
There was indeed a puddle of dirty water near the pig's snout, which meant that its stomach was empty and it could only vomit some acidic water.
Upon closer inspection, Chen Yunyun noticed that the pig's eyes were red, its conjunctiva was congested, and there were patches of red spots on its body.
These symptoms resemble those of swine erysipelas described in the system's swine farming guidelines.
She asked, "Does the pig have a fever?"
The pig farmer excitedly replied, "Yes! They're always very hot."
"The people who came before said it was swine fever and gave us glucose, but it hasn't gotten better."
"Besides, that medicine is too expensive; we can't afford it."
Li Liangtian rubbed his hands together. If it were just one pig, he could afford to pay for treatment, but more than a dozen of them were infected.
One of those good pigs falls every day, and it looks like the whole army is about to be wiped out...
After reviewing the situation, Chen Yunyun had a general idea of what was going on. "I can cure this disease. I'm probably the only one in the entire Nanxian County who can cure it."
She looked at Li Liangtian, her eyes clear and innocent.
"Our production team will also participate in this breeding farm."
Each word was spoken clearly and precisely, with a clean and crisp delivery.
"What?"
“Our Bajiao Brigade is cooperating with your Sier Brigade.”
The men of the 42nd Brigade were unwilling to accept this.
They talk about cooperation, but actually they just want to take advantage of the situation and make a profit, right?
Before Li Liangtian could speak, the onlookers objected.
"no!"
The people of the Fourth Ear Brigade were in high spirits, and the raw material factory employees brought by Chen Yunyun were not to be underestimated either.
"You say no and that's it? Your battalion commander hasn't even given the order yet."
"Besides, get the facts straight, okay? You're the ones who begged us to help you."
"What are you putting on airs for? If you don't agree, then let all the pigs in your brigade die, and your whole brigade will starve."
The members of the Four Ears Brigade were verbally abused and speechless, their lips twitching but their mouths agape.
"Captain, you should make a decision."
Li Liangtian gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead, and made up his mind, "Okay, I agree!"
The members of the Four Ears Brigade looked stunned and shocked. A few older men squatted to the side, smoking tobacco, and remained silent...
The raw material plant employees stood by, hands on their hips, watching the spectacle as if they had won a battle.
