The fox has no bad intentions

Chapter 521 Tang You's Nightmare

"More than a hundred sheep and dozens of cattle died?"

An Sheng, who had just returned to his dormitory, heard Tang You's exclamation as soon as he entered the door, and then his eyes widened.

"Fuck."

"Is your family going to go bankrupt this time?" An Sheng couldn't help but gasp.

"How could this be?! An earthquake!"

Tang You, her face full of disbelief, loudly questioned her older brother, "You bastard! You knew I wasn't going back for National Day, yet you still called to tell me!"

"I'm sorry, little sister."

Facing the increasingly frantic Tang You, Tang Lian spoke in a low voice: "I really can't eat anymore. We've been siblings for life, you can't just stand by and watch me die."

"Come back! Your favorite hot pot is here! The sheep are already on the table."

"I bother!"

Tang You, her chest heaving violently, spat at her brother and hung up the phone. Her face was flushed red, and she was panting heavily, regretting it so much that she kept slapping her thigh.

"Youyou, are you alright?"

Although A-Qing couldn't hear Tang You's voice, she, Mo Yiqing (who was taking a shower in the bathroom), and Ling Ren had all heard Tang You's earlier exclamation.

An earthquake struck Tang You's home, causing the sheepfold to collapse and killing more than a hundred sheep and dozens of northern cattle.

An adult sheep costs over a thousand yuan, while a cow is worth over ten thousand yuan.

An earthquake caused Tang You's family to lose over a million yuan.

Aqing stepped forward with concern and gently patted Tang You's back to help her calm down: "The sheepfold collapsed, is anyone in the family hurt?"

"Everything's fine at home, my parents aren't in the country." Tang You, her face flushed, took a deep breath, then slapped her thigh hard, making a crisp "smack" sound, and said with a face full of regret:

"I shouldn't have answered that call. My idiot brother was clearly trying to scam me."

"Five years ago, my sheepfold also collapsed. It was blown down by a sandstorm, and the sheep were startled and trampled."

Tang You seemed to recall some terrifying events; her rosy face gradually turned pale, and her lips trembled as she said:
"There are a total of seventy-four sheep. We can't eat them all, so we plan to give them to the villagers."

“We delivered them in a truck. No one was home at the time. When we came back in the evening, our doorstep was piled high with slaughtered sheep.”

“Those are all return gifts. After we gave away seventy sheep, the villagers gave us two hundred in return. We couldn’t possibly finish them all, let alone eat them all, not to mention there’s beef this time.”

Tang You was trembling all over as she recalled the memory of eating mutton every day five years ago, to the point that even her urine smelled of mutton.

Their ranch is a self-built farm for hobby purposes; the sheep, cattle, and horses there do not have quarantine certificates and are not allowed to be sold on the market.

Tang You's family couldn't finish the food, so they planned to give it away.

No sooner had they delivered the gift than the other party brought back double the amount of slaughtered sheep and threw them at their doorstep as a return gift.

Because Tang You's family wasn't the only one affected by the sandstorm, others could see through Tang You's father's little scheme at a glance.

While no one was home, the villagers threw away the slaughtered sheep and ran away.

There were more than two hundred sheep.
It was Tang You's nightmare.

Hearing that there was an earthquake at home, the sheepfold collapsed, and more than a hundred sheep died, Tang You was shaking all over.

"so."

"Are you afraid of eating lamb, or are you angry because your family went bankrupt?"

An Sheng squatted down beside her, trying to understand the logic behind Tang You's angry decision to hang up the phone, and said with a look of surprise and uncertainty:

"Your family just lost a million! How come you don't seem sad at all?"

"But it seems so. People in the aquaculture industry always say the proverb: 'Even if you're rolling in money, you're still nothing without livestock.'"

“Before the goods are sold, the livestock in the pens are all consumables. Who knows, a heavy rainstorm could trigger an epidemic and they could all die. They should have taken these losses into account.”

An Sheng nodded with a look of complete certainty.

"Uuuuuu——"

With tears welling up in her eyes, Tang You sobbed and looked at A Qing, saying, "A Qing, you have to help me!"

"I'll cover your accommodation and transportation. You can eat as much lamb, beef, and mutton as you like at my house, you can finish it all. There's also freshly made beef jerky, you can even fill your truck with it." "Huh? Huh?"

Ah Qing looked completely bewildered and said, "Can't you just take the leftovers to the market and sell them?"

"No, without a quarantine certificate, if customers get sick after eating it, we won't be able to explain ourselves."

"How can your family run a ranch without a quarantine certificate?" A-Qing looked at Tang You with a face full of astonishment.

"My family doesn't own a ranch!"

"Then you said the cattle and sheep died?"

"The cattle and sheep have died!"

"How can you open a ranch without a quarantine certificate?"

Tang You: "."

Ah Qing: "."

"Pfft."

Mo Mo, who came out with a bath towel wrapped around her head, couldn't help but laugh when she saw the two of them staring at each other in silence. She then spoke up:
“Youyou’s family owns a ranch, but that doesn’t mean they run a ranch.”

"Just like buying a villa doesn't necessarily mean living in it; it can be used to create an atmosphere, to sell wine, cigars, or private chefs."

Youyou was a little agitated and didn't quite convey the meaning of her words.

But Momo understood the meaning behind her words very well.

Just like when she brought Ah Qing home to stay, that villa with a lawn on the roof was indeed her home, but her family didn't usually live there. The purpose of that villa was to store antiques and to entertain guests.

Yoyo's ranch is probably similar in nature; it's likely built to enclose land, or something similar.

"MoMo is right!"

Tang You scratched his head and said, "My family does have a ranch, but you can think of it as an ancestral property. If we don't put something on it, it will be taken over."

"However, those things are not important. The most important thing right now is that you have to come and help me!"

"If a cow dies, we can dry it into beef jerky, but if a sheep dies, we don't eat it. So we have to build an ice storage for zombie meat."

"Even without a quarantine certificate, it would be fine to sell them at the market or in the village, right? If you say they are your own, they should sell out very easily if you sell them at a lower price."

"The premise is that the product is really not defective," Mo Mo said, wiping her hair.

"Uh, my parents are lazy, and my brother is ashamed," Tang You said awkwardly, explaining the reason for the problem.

This time, Momo was speechless.

But she can still understand, just like when she's alone at home, she doesn't like to wear outerwear, and even prefers to wear some revealing clothes.

She can like it, but she won't wear it out in public, much less go near any indecent areas.

For business people, reputation is their calling card.

Wearing it at home is fine, but if you wear it outside and other people see it or misunderstand it, things will get complicated.

Calling her immoral is too lenient.

It's possible that the family was deliberately framed and slandered, with rumors circulating that the daughter had fallen on hard times and that she was working as a prostitute.

Although Momo had never witnessed such a situation, she had seen it before: a neighbor was falsely accused of littering because she was wearing a silk nightgown while throwing away trash.

A rich woman driving a brand-new Bentley, 200 a night?
People actually believe that?
But some people actually believe it.

"so."

"You'll help me, right?"

Tang You held A Qing's hand with her left hand, grabbed Mo Mo's arm with her right hand, and stretched out a foot to poke at the little fox.

"???"

The actor who emerged from the bathroom stared wide-eyed at the scene unfolding in the dormitory.
