Chapter 382 Envy of Others

 Six strong men drove ten strong cows with fur as shiny as yellow satin, heading towards Fu'an Village.

In this remote place, whoever has a cattle is an enviable thing.

If someone has two cows, that’s really...

No, no family in the villages near Fu'an Village has ever owned two cows for a long time.

Bulls are used to plow the fields, and cows are used to give birth and sell milk.

As long as the calf grows up a little and can eat grass and food, it means there is an extra mouth in the family and it will not be able to feed it.

Therefore, young calves are sold early.

Nowadays, a row of cows appeared on the road. The scene was so big that everyone working in the fields put down their tools and stopped to watch.

There were even a lot of people in the village, crowding out from the neighborhoods, watching and talking about it.

When Xu Jiang, the head of Fu'an Village, heard the news, he walked lamely to the entrance of the village. Looking at the cows on the road in the distance, he exclaimed: "Oh my God! This silly girl is really an angel of the water god!"

After Xia Qianqian accurately predicted the high tide event, Xu Jiang became more and more impressed by her ability.

He attributed all this to the fact that the girl in front of him was protected by the Lord Water God.

"Go quickly!" Xu Jiang ordered: "Open the gate to the backyard and prepare to drive the cows in."

A large open space in the Xia family's backyard has been built with bricks, and a door is opened on the side. Once you enter, you will see a row of cowsheds built one after another in the huge space.

Since the girl asked him to do the work, he has been busy building the cowshed with ten workers in the past few days.

Everyone worked feverishly until yesterday, and finally built the cowshed before the cows came back.

At this moment, in front of the cowshed, a hay trough was built, and some grass was cut and dried in the yard.

Cows should not eat grass that is too moist, as this can cause diarrhea, and once they get sick, their milk production will also decrease.

He discussed these common-sense issues with Uncle Wang and decided them all for the girl.

The cows were getting closer and closer. When passing by the entrance of Xinghua Village, someone commented: "Who bought this cow?"

Xu Jiang couldn't wait to come forward, stroking his gray beard, and said with a smile: "Of course they are the cows we bought in Fu'an Village!"

"Fu'an Village?" The man didn't believe it.

When it comes to the wealth of the village, the people of Xinghua Village think they are superior to others.

Because the people in their village are very smart, many people in the village are doing small business in Jiangcheng.

Small businessmen and hawkers, have enough to eat.

Therefore, although Xinghua Village can be considered a poor village, its living standard is still slightly higher than that of Fu'an Village.

Because of this, they will feel much better about themselves.

They despise the villagers of Fu'an Village, and naturally they also despise the village chief of this poor village.

The man's nostrils shot up to the sky and he said sarcastically: "Village Chief, please don't talk nonsense!"

"The value of such a fine cow is at least a dozen taels of silver, no..."

As the cows walked around, they waved their arrogant presence. The milk dripping on the ground along the way formed rows of enviable and coveted marks on the ground.

"The value of a cow with such good appearance and high milk production is probably more than 20 taels."

One cow costs twenty taels of silver, and ten cows cost two hundred taels of silver.

Two hundred taels of silver is surprising enough.

Calculate again, ten cows eat for one day.

Cows can eat grass, but they cannot just eat grass. They must have concentrate.

If you want to buy corn flour, wheat grains, etc., these fine materials will cost you two to three taels of silver in a day.

Even if you have two taels of silver a day, you still need 60 taels of silver a month, which is 720 taels of silver a year.

With such a large amount of money, the harvest of the entire village of Fu'an Village in a year may not be that much.

So, who on earth has such great ability and dares to raise so many cows?

The villagers in Xinghua Village couldn't help but joke in a tone of voice: "Village Chief Xu, I'm afraid these cows are passing by."

Xu Jiang raised his chin and raised his posture even higher: "Who said we people in Fu'an Village don't have the strength to buy cows?"

He stroked his beard and whispered: "Old village chief, let me open your eyes."

A carriage with a green tent behind the herd happened to arrive. Xu Jiang stepped into the carriage and said enthusiastically, "Is it Miss Xia?"

As soon as the car curtain was opened, a childish face was revealed, "Mr. Village Chief."

"It's me!" When Xu Jiang saw it was Xia Qianqian, his face became more proud, "I've built the cowshed."

"Thank you, Mr. Village Chief!" Xia Qianqian has excellent hearing. She heard the conversation between the village chief and the name of Xinghua Village from a long distance.

"Village Chief, look at these cows. They are all carefully selected and bought from nearby counties. How about that?" When she said this, she deliberately glanced at the people next to her.

Xu Jiang gave a thumbs up and couldn't help but praise: "These cows are all high-quality, very good. But with so many cows coming at once, what's the problem with the fine materials?"

"Don't worry, there are still carriages behind, and two cars will be delivered later."

"Girl Xia, you are still thoughtful."

Xu Jiang was beaming with excitement.

On the carriage, Xia Qianqian greeted: "Village Chief, please take our carriage back together!"

There is still a long way between Xinghua Village and Fu'an Village.

"This..." Behind the opened car curtain, there were other people faintly visible.

"Can I aggrieve the village chief and sit in the carriage?" Xia Qianqian's voice was apologetic.

"There is no way to be aggrieved!" Xu Jiang came to the shaft of the carriage, held up his hand, and sat beside the coachman.

The carriage followed the cattle slowly toward Fu'an Village.

Behind him, the envious comments from the villagers of Xinghua Village came: "Who is that girl?"

"Xia Yatou, could it be Xia Qianqian from Fu'an Village, that stupid girl!"

"What's wrong with being foolish? She bought a house and land on her own in just three months, and now her family of three has moved to Jiangcheng. How can a person like that be foolish?"

"Yes, if she is stupid, who are we?"

"God, I want to be as stupid as her, give me a chance!"

"No one expected that the poorest Xia family could become the richest family in our area in a short period of time."

"It's not..."

"That Xia Qianqian hasn't gotten married yet, and my son hasn't gotten married yet, so I'll hurry up and find a matchmaker tomorrow to match him up!" In the blink of an eye, someone had a crooked idea.

"What did you say?"

Someone said with disdain: "A matchmaker once told Xia Qianqian to your son, but you refused several times. Now that she has become rich, you have paid her attention again."
