Becoming wealthy by raising furry animals

Chapter 6 Entrepreneurship (1)

When Ban You and the others got closer, they saw a middle-aged man in brown linen with a fierce look on his face, cursing the old woman in front of him.

Next to the old woman was a kicked-over cage filled with listless chickens with their eyes closed.

"You old fool, how dare you sell me sick chickens? My wife is writhing in pain and vomiting in the clinic right now, and you still dare to sell them? I'll beat you to death!"

"Stop!" Seeing this, Ban You hurried forward and stood in front of the old woman.

"How dare you hit someone? Aren't you afraid that we will report you to the police?"

"It's a good idea to report this to the police! Let the county magistrate see how this old man dared to sell something so awful that it nearly killed someone!"

"No! You can't report it to the police! You can't report it to the police!" The old woman hurriedly stopped him when she heard that someone was going to report it. Then she looked at Ban You and whispered, "Girl, this is none of your business. Please leave."

"Auntie, regardless of the situation, it's wrong for this man to hit someone," Ban You said, looking at the man. "You said there was something wrong with your chicken, so you have to provide evidence. And you said your wife got sick after eating chicken, so you have to provide the doctor's prescription. Otherwise, how can we know whether what you said is true or not?"

"That's right."

"That's right."

The passersby watching on the side nodded when they heard Ban You's words.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man said very firmly: "Okay, then you can come with me to the clinic. My wife is being treated there right now."

"You can't go! You can't go!" When the old woman heard that they were going to the clinic, she quickly stopped Ban You and looked at the middle-aged man, "I'll compensate you, I'll compensate you."

The old woman tremblingly took out a tightly wrapped linen bag from her lapel. The cloth looked very worn.

She held the sackcloth bag in both hands and slowly handed it to the middle-aged man.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man snorted, took the sack, opened it, took a look, and said, "I'll let you go this time, but if I see you selling sick chickens and ducks next time, I'll beat you up!"

As the middle-aged man left, the onlookers around also dispersed.

Ban You stood in front of the old woman, her brow furrowed. She bent down and squatted on the ground, looking at the old woman: "Auntie, how can you be so sure that there is something wrong with your chicken? If he is just making up stories and blackmailing you, then you are at a loss, aren't you?"

The old woman shook her head, wiped the corners of her eyes with her wrinkled, rough hands, and said, "Girl, I... I know there's something wrong with the chickens I sell..."

"Then you..."

"But I can't do anything! I..." The old woman said, her voice choking. "My son lost all the land and house in gambling and ran away. I don't know where he went. My old man had his leg broken by the debt collectors because of him."

"I don't want to sell sick chickens, but I really have no choice. I don't have money to bury my old man!"

Ban You looked at the old woman crying heart-wrenchingly, and his eyes became moist.

She slowly helped the old woman up and said, "Auntie, I'm a veterinarian. Don't worry, I'll help you see what's wrong with these sick chickens. Everything will be fine."

Ban You took out a clean linen bag from his sleeve and put it into the old woman's hand. "Take this, Auntie. Bury the family first, and then I'll help you find out what's wrong with the sick chicken."

"Girl, I can't accept this, I really can't accept it! Please take it back." The old woman quickly declined.

"Auntie! The dead are the most important. Burying our family members is the most important thing. Please take this!"

The old woman looked at the clean linen bag in her hand, tears rolled down her eyes and dripped onto the bag.

"Thank you, girl. Thank you!"

Li Yiyi, who was standing by, also had tears in her eyes and continued, "Auntie, my husband is very strong, we will help you when the time comes!"

"Girl, I..." The old woman didn't know what to say for a moment.

Afterwards, Ban You and Li Yiyi's family helped bury the old man.

During their time together, Ban You also learned that Aunt Wang's surname was Wang and that she lived in Taohua Village, just below Yuncheng. It took about an hour and a half to get there. Ban You worked for a while before taking a break. Aunt Wang scooped a bowl of well water for her.

"Actually, at this time of year in previous years, I would go up the mountain to pick some mountain products to sell. Although I didn't sell that much, I still made some money." Aunt Wang said as she sat next to Banyou and peeled vegetables.

"Why can't we go this year?"

"It's strange, but for some reason this year the government suddenly stopped allowing us to go up the mountain. You may not know, but the most famous thing about Taohua Village is the Peach Blossom Mountain to the east of the village. Every summer, the mountain is covered with flowers, which is very beautiful. It's a pity that you can't see it now."

Ban You smiled and shook her head: "It's okay, Auntie, maybe we can go and see it next year."

Ban You had a meal at Aunt Wang's house before returning to his own home.

After finishing all this, there were less than 72 hours left until the task deadline stated by the system.

But Ban You didn't care about that at the moment. She had promised the old woman yesterday to go to her house to check on the chickens.

When she arrived at the old woman's house, she found that the chickens were listless, with their eyes closed and their heads tucked in.

"Look, Miss Ban, these chickens have been like this since a few days ago. If my old man wasn't in a hurry to get money for his burial, I really wouldn't sell them."

After comforting the old lady, Ban You carefully checked the chicken, touched it, and listened to the chicken's thoughts, and then made his own judgment.

"Auntie Wang, your chickens have caught a cold."

"Can chickens catch colds?"

"Of course, chickens are animals too, they eat grains, so naturally they'll catch a cold. I guess it's because it's been raining these past two days, the temperature has dropped, and your chicken coop isn't ventilated. If this continues for a long time, the chickens will definitely catch a cold."

"Just ventilate well and it will get better slowly."

"real!?"

"Of course. As for…" Ban You paused, thinking of something, and said, "The middle-aged man's wife's illness probably has nothing to do with your chickens. The chickens caught a cold, but they don't have viruses or bacteria that can make people sick. So I guess it's their cooking method that caused the food poisoning."

"Wait a minute, sister, virus? Bacteria? Food poisoning? What do these mean?" Li Yiyi, who was standing by, became more and more confused and asked hurriedly.

Ban You suddenly realized that these people didn't understand these words, so he said, "Simply put, their illness has nothing to do with Aunt Wang's chicken."

"Why don't you find them quickly?"

Li Yiyi was about to go find the middle-aged man, but Ban You quickly stopped her.

"Sister Li, don't worry. Even if we go now, we may not be able to find them. Besides, it's been so long since this happened. We won't be able to convince them if we go now."

"So this money is just for nothing?!"

"There's nothing we can do about it. It's just a coincidence. But luckily, there's nothing wrong with the chickens. I can raise them a little longer and sell them."

"Miss Ban, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I really don't know what I would do."

"Auntie Wang, you're so polite." Ban You thought for a moment and asked, "By the way, Auntie Wang, are there many sick livestock in your neighborhood?"

"Around here... there are quite a few." Aunt Wang thought for a moment, then said, "Every household raises chickens and ducks, but you know, we're just ordinary people, uneducated, and we rely on our own experience. If we find an animal that can't be cured, we throw it to the countryside. If it works, we keep it."

"Auntie Wang, do you have any good neighbors who have sick chickens or ducks? I'd like to go take a look." Ban You said, pausing for a moment. "But if I want to treat them, I'll definitely charge them money, so..."

"It's okay. If it can be cured, I'll talk to them about the money. Come on, I'll take you to see it."

"Hey, thank you, Aunt Wang."

Ban You and the others followed Aunt Wang to the village chief's house. As soon as they entered the door, they found that the chickens in the village chief's house were as listless as those in Aunt Wang's house.

　I hope everyone will support me. Love you!
