Chapter 257 - 257 A Good Start

257 A Good Start

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan had no choice but to follow the adults.

The door of her grandfather’s house was right in front of Darong’s house. As expected, the rest of the siblings were all there. The cattle and the piglet were also there. They were all surrounded by the villagers.

Apart from Xue Sifu — who always had a smile on his face — Erfu and Wufu were all glowing with pride. They held their heads high in front of the other villagers.

Grandpa Xue must have happened to see the bunch, so he stopped them in front of their uncle’s house to show him their recent purchase.

The old man was elated. He leaned on his walking stick and looked at the big gelbvieh cattle in front of him. He nodded and said, “Very good. Very good.”

Someone saw Xue Dafu and immediately said, “Dafu, congratulations! Your family actually bought a cattle without saying a word. Look at this cattle, it’s definitely a good cattle!”

“Yes, yes.” Many people agreed.

Xue Dafu’s face was also glowing.

When Liu Guixia and the others saw and heard it, they also stared at the cattle happily. They even ignored the little pig.

However, Jiang Yue looked at the little pig that weighed more than 12 kilograms in the basket. The little pig kept squeaking and was very energetic. At the other end of the pole, there was another basket, which was filled with stones.

When Erfu went to town in the morning, he carried a wicker basket with him. He was afraid that the piglet would not be easy to carry, so he thought of this method. He would bring two wicker baskets and a wicker pole. When the time came, he would tie the piglet and put it in one basket. He would find some stones to put in the other basket. It would be fine as long as it was about the same weight as the piglet. It would be easier to carry it if it was balanced.

Erfu took good care of his younger brother. He would not let Xue Sifu and Wufu carry it.

Tian was there as well. He stared at the cattle for a while before asking, How much did you spend on this cattle? Why do I feel like it’s bigger than my cattle?”

Xue Wufu, who was always boisterous, immediately answered, ” “Five silver!”

“That’s a lot!” Many people were shocked.

Uncle Tian had been to a cattle market before and had bought cattle, so he was not shocked. He just smiled and said, “No wonder, I only spent four silver on my cattle. Dafu, let’s get rich together!” he smiled at Xue Dafu.

“We’ll all be rich!” Xue Dafu said hurriedly, grinning so widely that his eyes could not be seen.

“Good, good.” Chief Lu was also staring at the cattle, unable to take his eyes off it. “Now there’s another family in the village that has a cattle. In the future, there will definitely be other families that will have cattles. Tian, you’ve got a good start.”

“No no, haha!” Tian’s face was also glowing. “They’re richer than me. They’ve bought the fields, the land, and now the cattle. Who can compare to them?”

“Your family will be better in the future,” Liu Guixia said with a smile.

“I’m counting on your words, I sure hope so too.” Uncle Tian was even happier. Who didn’t like to hear compliments?

“My son is getting married tomorrow. Everyone, I hope to see you there.”

“I’ll definitely go. I’ll definitely go.” Everyone laughed.

In the village, no matter if they were relatives or not, every family would give something to celebrate a happy occasion.

“Xue Yan, Jiang Yue, don’t forget to go and receive the wedding cake tomorrow.” Tian couldn’t help but remind the two. He liked these two children very much. He really hoped that his future grandson and granddaughter would be as smart as these two children.

“I know, we will.” Jiang Yue and Xue Yan answered.
