Chapter 144 Finding the 4 Most Shrewish Women
Chapter 144 Finding the 4 Most Shrewish Women
Lin Chang'er knew long ago that all powerful beings in ancient times had some temper, especially those who hid in the countryside to avoid the hustle and bustle.
So he didn't take it to heart and continued, "My cow has something growing in its belly, but it's definitely not a calf."
"Then what are you going to do with it?" You have too much money.
Lin Chang'er said, "It's not a life-threatening illness, but it's been going on for many years."
"So?" The old woman just stood in the courtyard talking to her, without any intention of leading her into the house.
Lin Chang'er thought to herself, "Wasn't he quite warm and kind before? Could it be that he angered someone by asking them to come last night?"
However, she continues to be willing to communicate with herself, so there's still hope on the other side.
Lin Chang'er said shamelessly, "Since this thing hasn't killed me all these years, maybe it won't kill me if I take it out?"
The old woman's eyes darkened, and she asked in surprise, "You're going to eviscerate a cow? Aren't you afraid of being arrested by the authorities?"
Lin Chang'er said, "Right now, that thing is getting bigger and bigger, and the cow is uncomfortable, which is affecting its ability to work in the fields. That's why I was thinking about whether we could remove it. Maybe if we remove it, the cow can be raised well."
As for the government, I will file a report with them first.
The old woman looked at her, somewhat puzzled, "What do you want with me?"
Lin Chang'er spoke frankly, "I saw a set of knives in your medicine box last time, and I would like to ask you for help."
The old woman doctor's eyes flashed with shock. She offered a helping hand, essentially saying, "You want to eviscerate the cow yourself?"
Lin Chang'er smiled and said, "What if I'm wrong and I hurt the cow? I did it myself, so I'll bear the consequences myself. If I ask someone else to do it, won't that make that person take the blame?"
The old woman's eyes darkened further, and images of swords flashed through her mind. She closed her eyes briefly and said coldly, "I won't lend it to you."
Lin Chang'er: "..." If you're not going to help, then don't help. Why are you angry?
Seeing that she looked pale, he didn't dare to linger and handed her the brown sugar, saying, "This is brown sugar that I made myself. Consider it an apology for what happened that night."
The doctor didn't take it, saying, "No need, you've already paid the consultation fee."
Lin Chang'er narrowed her eyes, feeling that the old man's temper seemed to have changed and become less pleasant.
However, now that the items have been brought over, there's no reason to take them back. So, he put the items on the wood-chopping post and said, "I'll leave them here for you. Don't forget to take them inside."
After saying that, he turned and left, and even politely closed the door behind him.
The old woman watched the door slowly close, the heavy door finally separating her from herself.
Her heart was surging with emotion; this was the first time since that incident that someone had mentioned seppuku in front of her.
It's not that I'm not curious, it's just that I don't want to, and I don't dare to be curious.
They were even more afraid of provoking those evil spirits again.
The old woman looked up at the sky, wondering if she should consider moving to another place...
Lin Chang'er was rejected but not discouraged. If all else failed, she would find a veterinarian. In such a large place as Ninghai Prefecture, she could surely find a reliable one, but she was afraid there was no one who could perform invasive surgery.
If all else fails, find two unreliable assistants, like Wu Qingfeng and Bai Shaoan.
Suddenly, the image of Old Lady Bai flashed through her mind again. She had always felt that the old lady had an extraordinary background and must have even more extraordinary knowledge.
Having made up her mind, Lin Chang'er stopped wasting energy worrying about it, since the ox needed time to recover.
Wu Qingfeng knew that Lin Chang'er had bought a cow, but he only found out it was a sick cow when he returned from gathering firewood.
They immediately went to find Lin Chang'er.
Lin Chang'er had just led the cow to the cowshed where new hay had been laid out and comforted it to lie down when she looked up and saw Wu Qingfeng. "How did you find your way here?"
Looking at the sickly ox, Wu Qingfeng, though he always knew she had her own ideas, couldn't help but ask, "Why did you decide to buy him?"
Lin Chang'er smiled, and for some reason, she never thought of hiding it from him, saying frankly, "Don't think he's invaluable just because he's sick."
Wu Qingfeng picked some fresh grass and handed it over to feed the cows. "What do you mean?"
Lin Chang'er said, "What he has in his stomach might not be a tumor, but bezoar."
Wu Qingfeng: "..." She certainly has a way with ideas.
Lin Chang'er explained, "Look, this position should be the gallbladder, and the bezoar is actually..." Lin Chang'er was a little speechless, not knowing what word to use to replace gallstones.
At this moment, Wu Qingfeng spoke up: "I have heard that bezoar comes from ox gall, but it is extremely rare."
Lin Chang'er said, "Rarely does not mean you will never meet one." She was the chosen one, and since the little broken leader hadn't contacted her for a long time, she was starting to miss the days of bickering.
Wu Qingfeng nodded, agreeing that this made sense, but asked, "How do you plan to take it out?" Judging from her appearance, she didn't seem like she would wait until Niu Shou died peacefully.
Lin Chang'er said, "A cesarean section!"
Wu Qingfeng paused, "Disembowelment?" His expression was one of astonishment.
What if I die?
Lin Chang'er said, "I can't guarantee that he will live well after he takes that thing, but now that thing is growing bigger and bigger and is affecting his normal life. Rather than watching him suffer, we might as well give it a try."
Take a gamble, and your motorcycle could become a four-wheeler.
Cows can live normal lives.
Seeing that she had made up her mind, Wu Qingfeng said, "Remember to register with the government." It's better to be prepared.
Seeing that he had hit the nail on the head, Lin Chang'er quickly said, "That's exactly what I was going to ask you! What's the procedure, and who should I look for when I get to the county government?"
Wu Qingfeng chuckled, "Looking for me."
Lin Chang'er's face darkened. "Aren't you still recovering from your injuries?"
Wu Qingfeng turned his face away and smiled, then turned back and said, "Just have Uncle Pei go and do it for you."
Lin Chang'er then gave him a smile, and thinking of something, asked him, "How did today's training go? Did everyone get along well?"
Wu Qingfeng nodded, "Old Master Huo has a lot of prestige among the Huo family's sons, and Uncle Hai mediates the rest. They should have regular contact as well, and so far we haven't found any problems, except..."
"What is it?"
Wu Qingfeng lowered his head and said, "Old Huo led us to practice at the sunning field this morning, but who would have thought it would attract a bunch of people who wanted to laugh at us."
Lin Chang'er was furious. "Don't pay attention to those shallow-minded people. They'll regret it when they suffer the consequences."
Wu Qingfeng replied, "I know, don't worry, it won't affect me."
"Are we still training at the threshing ground tomorrow morning?"
Wu Qingfeng said, "Old Master Huo doesn't want the boys to be laughed at. He wants to have their morning and afternoon classes on the beach, where there's plenty of space and people won't stare at them like they're monkeys."
Old Huo's thinking was thorough, but, "Tomorrow morning class will still be held at the threshing ground. Tell Old Huo that I will handle those gossipy people, regardless of age or gender."
Upon hearing this, Wu Qingfeng agreed without hesitation.
Lin Chang'er was always decisive and efficient, and she immediately went to find Aunt Zhou.
Aunt Zhou was washing vegetables by the well in the backyard. When she saw her, she quickly said, "Are you waiting to cook them? I'll be done washing them right away."
Lin Chang'er shook her head and said solemnly, "Auntie, I'll wash these vegetables. Go find me four of the most shrewish women, preferably ones who can yell at me all morning without repeating themselves..."
