234. Chapter 234: Treating the Rabbit

Although such low mountains were barren and regarded as wasteland by the villagers, and couldn't grow food or vegetables, they could also plant some fruit trees.

She had already planned that when the family's funds were sufficient, she would buy all those low mountain wastelands, use half to plant fruit trees, and fence off the other half to sow grass seeds and run a livestock farm. Besides raising cattle and sheep, raising chickens, ducks, and geese was also fine.

If the conditions could keep up, these livestock would all be fed high-quality pasture and ability water. By then, not only would they harvest high-quality meat products, but there would also be a large amount of crystal core production...

Jiang Wei was planning how to buy the low mountains behind her home, but the Lao Li family was anxious about how to sell the family's more than thirty mu of land.

Guihua Shen and others had already brought the corpses of their children back from the county yamen, preparing to bury them properly.

Coming back with them were the Li family old couple who had been driven out by the yamen servants.

The old couple had made a scene in the county yamen prison; if it weren't for their old age, they would have been dragged out and beaten with boards long ago.

After this, they didn't dare to go to the county yamen again and dragged Sun Shi back to the Li family.

As soon as they got home, they tied Sun Shi up with five flowers and tied her in the courtyard, forcing her to say where the money was hidden.

Sun Shi couldn't bear the old couple's torture and told the location of the hidden money.

In a dog hole in the Huang Residence's backyard.

Inside was buried a bundle, which was the silver money Li Jinfeng had secretly hidden in the Huang family over the past few months, plus some gold and silver jewelry, totaling more than fifty taels.

The old couple heard this, their eyes lit up instantly, and they went to find it without stopping.

With this money, they could redeem Li Shoude!

Li Family Old Man, from eavesdropping on Sun Shi and Li Jinfeng, also thought of a way to save Li Shoude.

Since Li Jinfeng could find witnesses to identify herself as a victim, a victim sold into the Huang family, why couldn't Li Shoude?

Li Family Old Man could be said to have put in enough effort to save his son. He had already inquired clearly that as long as he stood out to testify for his son during the interrogation, saying that he was just used by the Huang family and that he was also a victim, and then pushed the previous child abduction matter onto Yun Ying, his son would be innocent!

Then, he would use silver to handle the relationship, and he could get Li Shoude out.

Li Family Old Man's abacus was clicking, but when they arrived at the Huang Residence, they found that the entire Huang Residence was heavily surrounded by soldiers, and outsiders were forbidden to approach.

It was the soldiers sent by Lord Cishi, who were looting the Huang Residence.

It was called—raiding the house.

This house raiding didn't know when it would end, and Li Family Old Man needed this money urgently, so how could he wait?

Finally, he set his sights on the family's thirty mu of land.

Sell the land first, raise enough money, and when the house raiding ended, he would go to the dog hole to find the money and redeem the land.

He naively felt that the soldiers raiding the house wouldn't even spare a place like a dog hole, right?

When Chunya came to find Jiang Xiaoxiao with a little rabbit, the news of the Li family wanting to sell land had already spread throughout the village.

"... Their family is asking for two and a half taels of silver per mu this time, this price is about right..." Chunya said, handing the sick little rabbit in her arms to Jiang Xiaoxiao. "Xiaoxiao, help me see, what's wrong with this rabbit in my family? It hasn't been eating much for the past few days, and it often has diarrhea... did it eat something bad?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao took the rabbit and looked at it. The rabbits raised in Chunya's family seemed to be a different breed from the ones raised in her own family.

Her family's rabbits were strong and fat, each one energetic, while the little rabbit Chunya brought was not only sick and thin, but also small and afraid of people.

Fortunately, the medical books she had been reading recently also had information about animal pathology.

Jiang Xiaoxiao checked for a while and found that this rabbit had E. coli.

Generally, the young rabbits in the family were most prone to this disease. The little rabbit Chunya brought should have been born not long ago, with weak resistance, and thus caught this disease.

But it didn't matter.

The family had some medicinal herbs, which were bought by her mother from the medical hall for her to practice with medical books.

Jiang Xiaoxiao followed the formula in the medical book, crushed the medicinal herbs with a pestle, and fed some to the little rabbit with ability water.

Soon the little rabbit became energetic, kicking its legs wildly in Jiang Xiaoxiao's arms, trying to break free from her embrace.

Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled and put the rabbit down, letting it run for a while.

The little guy had been sick for a few days, and it must have been suffocated.

"Xiaoxiao, you are so amazing!"

"You must be Xiaoxiao." Xie Cheng sized up Jiang Xiaoxiao. His voice was extremely inconsistent with his serious and steady appearance, carrying a kind of approachable gentleness. "Shen Que mentioned you more than once in his letter. Now seeing the real person, you are indeed a clever and likable little girl."

Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled, picked up some medicinal herbs, and handed them to Chunya, while instructing: "Take these herbs back first. If any more rabbits fall ill, grind the herbs and mix them into the grass to feed them."

"Hmm, good." Chunya nodded repeatedly.

Jiang Xiaoxiao also sent some lime to Chunya, letting her take it home and mix it with water to sprinkle where the rabbits were raised.

Lime water had the effect of sterilization and disinfection, which could very well prevent the virus from spreading to the rabbit flock.

As the rabbits multiplied more and more, getting sick was inevitable.

Chunya was a diligent little girl. She usually cleaned the rabbit nest regularly at home, and even so, the rabbits could still get sick, which was no way, and could only use drugs for treatment.

Chunya accepted the lime and started talking about the Li family selling land again.

"Xiaoxiao, you don't know, people in the village don't buy their land. Li Family Old Man is running around anxiously, and even came to my house, asking my mother if she wants to buy land."

Zhao Dasao worked at the Jiang family, and her wages were not small. Plus, she left the house empty-handed after divorcing Zhao Wulai, so Li Family Old Man naturally set his sights on her.

"Hmph, he has the nerve to come to my house and ask." Chunya pouted. "Even if my family wants to buy land, we won't buy theirs. My mother chased him away with a broom."

The Li family was completely disgusted by the villagers. It was good enough not to spit on them, and they still wanted the villagers to buy their land, which was simply wishful thinking!

Li Family Old Man saw that no one bought the land at two and a half taels per mu, so he could only lower the price again, down to two taels of silver per mu.

But still no one bought it.

He was so angry he stomped his feet at home, scolding the villagers for being greedy and not knowing what was good for them.

Li Shoucai was chopping wood on the side, throwing the wood knife to the ground with force, making a loud noise.

Li Family Old Man, who was scolding, was startled. He turned his head and saw Li Shoucai not even looking at him, burying his head and returning to the room.

He was expressing his dissatisfaction.

Li Family Old Man opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment, and finally closed his mouth again.

Forget it, dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction.

Anyway, the second son had been dissatisfied with this for a long time.

To save the eldest, the family's fields definitely couldn't be kept.

Compensate the second son later.

But how to compensate specifically, he didn't even want to think about it.

What he was thinking about was only how to let Li Shoude continue to take the imperial examination after he was saved.

Regarding the Li family selling land, Jiang Xiaoxiao also told Jiang Wei.

"Mother, why don't we buy this land." (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 235 =====
