Fish Leaping Farm Gate

Chapter 181
Huang Jingu was desperate, and he was willing to do everything, but he never thought that Du Xiaoyu would actually buy those rabbits, so he was speechless for a long time after hearing it.

But Du Xiaoyu's last sentence made him fly into a rage again.

"What? 30 taels of silver?" The minimum value of this batch of rabbits is 100 taels, and she took the opportunity to lower the price. It's really despicable!Golden Valley quit, "You're too much of a bully!"

"If you don't get cured, just wait to die, you won't get any money anyway." Du Xiaoyu said indifferently.

Huang Jingu was so angry that he almost vomited blood, but now that his weakness was in her hands, he couldn't refute it, 30 taels of silver was money, and if they all died, he would indeed lose more.

But this is taking advantage of the fire!

He stared, "I'll sell it for 50 taels!"

"You think I'm taking advantage of you?" Du Xiaoyu raised his eyebrows, "It's fine if you don't sell it, I will never force it."

Huang Jingu picked up the gift on the table and was about to leave, but when he came to the door, he turned around. He was reluctant to part with the silver, and said in a negotiating tone, "How about 40 taels?"

Du Xiaoyu gave him a sidelong glance, and didn't bother to answer.

"35 taels!" Huang Jingu went all out. This batch of rabbits had been plucked too badly. Before he came, he had prepared for the worst. If she died, he would have to throw them all away.It is better to get a little bit now than nothing.

Although Du Xian didn't understand what was going on, he also felt that his daughter was so tough because of her ability to control rabbits, so she stepped forward a few steps and said, "I think you should take a step back."

What kind of morals should we say to this kind of people who don't know how to repay their kindness?
Du Xiaoyu raised his jaw, "I told you before, it's fine if you don't sell it, and I won't give you an extra penny."

This time, Huang Jingu completely gave up, and said with a gray face, "Forget it, forget it, I was so unlucky that I got involved in this kind of thing! The girl is really ruthless, to be so ruthless!"

They don't know how much trouble it takes to treat this disease!
Du Xiaoyu stood up and said, "Let's go now, Dad, Xiaojin, and He Chenglai, let's go to the county together." The longer it dragged on, the faster those rabbits died.

He Cheng was later hired to clean up the rabbit house. Du Xian quickly found the two of them and followed Huang Jingu to the county.

When Du Xiaoyu came to the rabbit house to take a look, he was really shocked.

I saw rabbit fur floating all over the room, either pulled out by myself or by other rabbits, the roots were bloodshot, and some rabbits' skins were torn and bloody.

She hurriedly asked He Cheng to go outside and buy dozens of small bamboo baskets with covers.

Du Xian felt his scalp go numb, "These rabbits are really crazy, can they be cured?"

"I'm not very sure either."

Jin Gu said bitterly beside him, "Pay the money, and take the rabbit away!"

Du Xiaoyu gave him the money, and when He Cheng came back, he directed them to put the rabbits into the bamboo baskets in batches, and then hired two flat-bed mule carts to carry the bamboo baskets filled with rabbits and went home.

"It's like this, can't you keep it in the rabbit house?" After arriving home, Du Xian asked while moving the rabbit down.

Seeing that the rabbits are about two months old, most of them are ordinary white rabbits, and there are also a few light yellow, gray, or miscellaneous ones, Du Xiaoyu thought about it, "I will keep them in the two rooms in the front row In the West Wing." Their new courtyard was so big that several rooms were vacant.

"That's fine. I'll go and have a look. If there's anything, I'll clear it out." Du Xian said and went.

Li Jin also knew that Du Xiaoyu had never been exposed to this kind of disease, so he didn't expect that she would actually buy all the sick rabbits. Isn't it afraid that it won't be cured by then?
"Did you get frightened?" He frowned and asked, "That's why you plucked the hair like this?" There were such cases before, but it was only a few, and it would never be on such a large scale, so he was really not sure.

"Scaring can indeed lead to hair plucking, and so can pregnant rabbits. But in this case, if I guessed correctly, it is because the person did not feed the rabbit well after weaning, and the cold caused the hair to be plucked and swallowed." Pica is generally caused by the lack of certain nutrients in the body. The peddler has made a fortune in recent years and has become light-hearted. It is estimated that raising rabbits is not as careful as before, and the feeding is single, which caused this result.

But Li Jin still didn't quite understand, how could he pluck his hair if he wasn't fed well?
In fact, Du Xiaoyu really can't explain it seriously. Anyway, rabbits lack some nutrients such as minerals and carbohydrates, so they will have abnormal behaviors, and hair-plucking is particularly easy to imitate in groups, and it is out of control.

After working for two hours, I finally settled down all the rabbits.

Counting just now, there are a total of [-] in this batch, and five of them are basically incurable. The skin is all festered, and they are dying. There are only about [-] moderate skin injuries, and they are temporarily placed in bamboo baskets alone. , and there are forty or fifty with only slight injuries. According to observation, if it is determined that there is no hair-plucking, they will be put together, and those with hair-plucking will be placed separately.

In the end, there were only a dozen or so of them that were intact, and they were taken to another wing room for a period of time to look at. If there was no abnormality, they could be put into the rabbit house.

"This injury can only let it heal slowly, Li Jin, watch over the past few days, and let me know if it gets worse." She ordered a few words, and went out to the place where the feed was stored outside the house to prepare forage.

Alfalfa, soybeans, corn, salt, bran...

There are more than a dozen kinds, the harder ones are slightly ground and blended together, the more nutritious the more comprehensive, she has always wanted to make that kind of granular rabbit food, but it is a pity that it is not easy to store, so she can only give up.

When the two bamboo plaques were almost finished, Li Jin said, "I'll come, you go and rest."

She was indeed a little tired, and said with a smile, "Okay, anyway, it's the same as what we used to feed the young rabbits, but put more alfalfa and reduce the total amount. Try feeding it, and increase it if it's good." I only thought of such a method, if it is really just a lack of nutrition, then these are completely satisfied, and I should not pluck my hair anymore.

Li Jin nodded, picked up the diabolo plaque on the ground, and went to each pocket to get the corresponding amount of feed.

"How's your reading going?" Du Xiaoyu sat on a low stool and chatted with him, "I reckon the money you've saved is enough to rent a shop."

"Almost." Li Jin laughed. He got a wage increase again, and saved seven to eighty taels of silver over the past few years.

"If you want to open a brocade shop at that time, you can go to Qidong County to buy fabrics. My sister is in charge of Hongxiufang and is familiar with the shopkeepers there. At least you won't lose too much."

Li Jin paused, "I'm leaving, then here..."

"It's a big deal, I'll see for myself. My father doesn't work in the fields now, and my younger siblings are grown up. In fact, I have a lot of free time."

"What about the medicine field?" Li Jin asked, could she take care of both sides?
Du Xiaoyu scratched her head, "Let's hire someone again." But he was not sure.

In the current situation, she basically doesn't care about the rabbit house, and even the breeding matters are left to Li Jin. If he really leaves, he will be in a hurry, but he has his own way to go, so it's not good Get in the way.

"Let's talk about it, I still can't remember much about fabrics." Li Jin turned his back, only to see that his stature seemed to be a bit taller.

Du Xiaoyu couldn't help thinking that when he first met him, he was so short and needed to stand on tiptoes to get the feed, but he worked so hard, and more than four years passed in a flash.

The air was quiet, and neither of them spoke. Du Xian watched from a distance for a while, and suddenly realized that, after picking and choosing, there was not the most suitable son-in-law by his side!
Although he is not a scholar, he has been watching him for several years. Needless to say, he is filial, has a good temper, and works hard without complaint.

The more he thought about the advantages, the more he ran back.

Seeing his beaming eyebrows, Zhao asked strangely, "What good things can happen?"

"What do you think of this kid, Xiaojin?"

Mrs. Zhao has always had a good impression of him, so she didn't say anything bad about him.

"It's fine if you think it's good, why didn't I think of it earlier!" Du Xianxi narrowed his eyes, "Their family is orphaned and widowed, so they simply take over and live together. Even if Xiaoyu is married, doesn't it mean that he is in his own home? ? I've always been reluctant to part with her, but now it's all over!"

Mrs. Zhao finally understood. It turned out that she had taken a fancy to him as her son-in-law. She couldn't help frowning and said, "You are wishful thinking again. How do you know that your daughter is willing?"

"I think she treats Xiao Jin well, so she must not hate her." Du Xian was very sure.

"You can marry if you don't hate it?" Zhao said, "What's the difference between taking it over? What's the difference with the son-in-law? Their Li family has only one seedling, so it's not certain whether they are willing or not." Li Jin's mother, Bai He looks gentle, but I heard that he abandoned his family to marry Li Jin's father.

Such a woman must have an extremely tough temper.

"It's okay if you don't want to. Let's subsidize them. They can build a new yard. You see, Xiaojin and Xiaoyu are of the same mind. One takes care of the rabbit and the other takes care of the medicine field. I don't know how good it is!"

Mrs. Zhao felt a little relieved. The eldest daughter might really follow Bai Yushi to a distant place in the future, but she would not be able to keep her. If the second daughter could stay by her side, it would be a lucky thing.

Li Jin definitely doesn't take the merit test, so it's not necessarily bad to live a peaceful life.

"I don't know what Xiaoyu thinks." This daughter is too assertive, and they can't control her. She said, "Don't be too concerned about it. If she refuses, there is nothing we can do."

Du Xian remembered his daughter's angry appearance, and his enthusiasm faded a little, "The lady said so."

"Tell me, it's not in a hurry, let's try her words first. In the past two months, she will be 14 years old, and she should know the situation herself." If it is not settled down, the parents have to be like Zhao Dongzhi, anxious about their daughter.

"My lady is more thoughtful." Du Xian nodded, "Then wait until the Chinese New Year is over, and find an opportunity to listen to it before talking about it."

The two discussed it, but Du Xiaoyu outside had no idea that he was feeding the rabbit with Li Jin.
