Chapter 7 The Bull and the Cow
Chapter 7 Bulls and Cows
It wasn't that the coachman didn't give Wang a chance, but that the situation was too urgent and he had no choice.
Wang Bo was so angry that he vomited blood and fainted after getting on the carriage.
Mrs. Wang was afraid that something might happen, so she asked the driver to rush back quickly.
Ma Changjiang went home and handed over the money. He took the fish basket and went to the river without saying a few words.
Manager Wang Wu said that they want everything from mountains to rivers.
I don’t know if it was bad luck, but I only caught seven or eight arm-thick eels in a basket.
The second basket went down and caught seven or eight big red carp, three carp, each weighing four or five kilograms.
The third basket caught nothing.
Ma Changjiang was not discouraged. He stayed by the river for nearly an hour and fished the fish basket more than a dozen times before it was enough to fill two buckets.
Not even one of Wang's favorite crabs was caught.
After returning home, he saw that it was still early and went out hunting with his bow and arrow.
He planted a lot of animal traps yesterday, and he might be able to harvest something today.
If that doesn't work, it would be good to catch a few rabbits.
After looking at several places, all of them were empty, and Ma Changjiang felt a little frustrated.
When he reached the last place where the clips were placed, he heard movement from a long distance away.
I carefully opened the grass and immediately saw the big black cow in the trap.
It was a black bull, about two hundred pounds, with black eyes that seemed to be able to talk.
Somehow, Ma Changjiang saw sadness in the eyes of this cow.
"I won't kill you either. You can take it back to my daughter as a playmate." Ma Changjiang said to the big black cow, "Can you help my family during the busy farming season?"
"Mou."
Da Hei Niu stood up and muttered to Ma Changjiang, indicating that he agreed with what he said.
Ma Changjiang immediately picked some vines to make a rope and put it on the cow's head.
After setting the trap, take out the animal trap and lead the cow out.
I didn't catch a rabbit but picked up a cow. It seemed like it was a good deal.
On the way back, I met people from the same village who also smiled and said hello, saying that they had picked up a cow.
The prey is the fattest in autumn, but it is difficult to hunt such a big cow.
Although the villagers were envious and didn't say much, they picked it up based on their ability.
Ma Laosi didn't think so. He also went hunting in the mountains today, so he should have picked up the cow by himself.
It must have been because Niu got lost and couldn't find him that Ma Changjiang took advantage of him.
His eyes rolled around three times and he trotted home.
His cow was picked up by Ma Changjiang, and he had to tell his mother immediately.
Mrs. Zhao was in the kitchen in the courtyard and asked Li Xueer to carry Ma Lan away.
Children have clean eyes and cannot see such bloody things.
"Good girl, let's go for a walk." Li Xueer picked up Ma Lan and said, "Don't disturb grandma's cooking."
As soon as he went out, he saw Ma Changjiang coming back with a cow: "Where did you get the cow?"
"I got it while hunting today." Ma Changjiang looked at the plump and cheerful Malan and said, "Are you good or not today?"
Ma Lan liked the cow very much the first time he saw it. He stretched out his hand and grabbed the cow's tail.
"You can't catch this." Li Xueer was amused by Malan and laughed: "Be careful of it kicking you."
While the couple was talking, there was a cry outside the door: "Who the hell has stolen our cow? That is our cow."
Ma Changjiang's face darkened. As soon as he brought back a cow, someone said that the cow was lost. How could he be a good person if word spread about it?
"My cow! What idiot stole my cow?"
The sounds outside were getting louder and louder, and Ma Changjiang was so angry that he opened the door directly.
Mrs. Ma and Mr. Ma fell into the house unprepared, followed closely by the villagers watching the fun.
Mrs. Ma could see the cows in the pen at a glance. They were fat and strong and could certainly work.
"My cow, it turns out you stole my cow." Mrs. Ma pinched her legs hard, with tears in her eyes: "Your family can't survive anymore, so you are going to steal other people's cows."
Old Man Ma tied a cow to a tree early in the morning and asked her to fetch it back.
Unexpectedly, as soon as we left, the cows would be gone.
Fortunately, the fourth child told him that the cow was picked up by someone else, otherwise he might have suffered a big loss.
This not only said that the cow belonged to her, but also said that Ma Changjiang was dirty and stole other people's things.
Ma Changjiang was very angry: "Why do you say that the cow belongs to your family? What evidence do you have?"
All men in the village know how to hunt. If the cow he picks up belongs to Old Man Ma, then no one will go hunting in the future.
"you……"
Mrs. Ma did not expect Ma Changjiang to say this: "I definitely know it belongs to my family. That cow is black."
Nonsense! Malan cursed in his heart. This cow is tied up in the pen now, and anyone who is not blind can see it.
She wanted to help her father, but she turned into tears whenever she spoke.
"Oh, don't cry, don't cry." Li Xueer coaxed, "Are you hungry? Let's drink milk."
"Yes, the one I have is a cow." Mrs. Ma suddenly had an idea: "Return the cow to us quickly or we will report you to the police."
As soon as he said this, several villagers laughed out loud, and Li Xueer in the house couldn't help but also pursed her lips and snickered.
She heard that milk is nutritious, so she specially bought fresh milk from Uncle Dashan.
Some strange combination of circumstances also helped.
"You, what are you laughing at?" Mrs. Ma looked around confusedly.
"Auntie, I'll find out more next time before I accuse someone wrongly." Ma Changjiang's voice was slightly cold: "My bull is a bull."
"Yes, you can identify a male at a glance." said a cattle farmer in the village.
Mrs. Ma's face turned red with shock, and she seemed to be running away with Mr. Ma.
Everyone burst into laughter, as the old lady Ma kept doing some inexplicable behavior recently. She didn't know what was wrong with her.
Mrs. Zhao was cooking at the moment, and Ma Changjiang invited everyone to have something to eat together.
The villagers all waved their hands and refused. They just came to watch the fun, so why did they have the nerve to get a meal?
After seeing everyone off, Ma Changjiang entered the room to talk to Li Xueer.
"She can do anything like asking grandpa to buy his own grandson's daughter. There is nothing else she can't do."
There is no airtight wall in the world. As soon as Wang Bo left, the incident spread throughout Majia Village.
Every household didn't comment and scolded Old Man Ma and his family for being nothing.
When Mrs. Ma returned home, she slapped the back of Mr. Ma's head: "I wanted to tell you not to be greedy. It's a big joke now that you're done."
You must not let Old Man Ma know about this, otherwise neither of them will get anything good to eat.
"Mom, I'm hungry." Ma Laosi said coquettishly, "Please let someone cook."
Only then did Mrs. Ma remember that the three losers had left and dinner had not yet arrived.
"Damn you bastard, you're lazy again." Mrs. Ma angrily went to the third room and said, "Don't go cooking yet."
Mrs. Wang was beating Ma Laosan's legs when she suddenly received a slap in the face.
"You dare to lie down after giving birth to a loser." Old Mrs. Ma lost her temper: "Go and cook quickly. We'll see how I deal with you later."
"Mom, Ping'er is in confinement." Ma Laosan on the side was unwilling: "You let the elder sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law do it."
His wife cooks every day and takes a day or two off.
