Chapter 61 - 61 2 Misunderstanding Construction_1

61: Chapter 2 Misunderstanding Construction_1 61: Chapter 2 Misunderstanding Construction_1 The rural uncle who seemed to be buying a bull nearby tried to defuse the situation: “Forget it, forget it, Xiaohei, if he wants to buy, just sell it to him.

Let’s go find another one.”

The young man was still unhappy: “This isn’t just about a cow.

There’s a certain order in buying and selling.

If everyone becomes like him, can we still call it a market?

How are we supposed to manage things?”

Upon hearing this, Yan Fei was reminded of the hooligans from the “Market Management Office” who caused trouble when he was selling melons in the city, and his face immediately darkened.

However, he didn’t initially want to get involved with the young man and didn’t want to cause trouble at home.

Even though he was unhappy, he remained silent, focusing on struggling with the reins of the Wagyu beef cattle.

The young calf looked like it had been pulled out for a quick sell.

Its reins were just a rough grass rope chosen at random.

After a few people had tugged and pulled at it, the rope had tangled into a tight knot.

Despite his strenuous efforts, Yan Fei saw no signs of progress.

Seeing that the situation was about to escalate, the surrounding people persuaded the young man.

The woman selling the cattle nearby did not seem to be faking her concern.

Even though rural people usually don’t worry about food and drink, they understand the difficulty of needing money and thus suggested the young man let it go.

After all, there are many cattle in the market; he could always find another one.

The young man saw that Yan Fei was ignoring him and seemed agitated.

He finally said, “Fine, then.

The cow is sold to you.

Give me twenty yuan.”

His speech was awkward and Yan Fei, who had been trying to untangle the knot for a while, was immensely frustrated.

Thinking that a repeat of the city incident was about to occur, he flared up, “Why should I give you twenty yuan?”

The young man twisted his neck: “You’re buying the cow, of course you should pay.

Hurry up, don’t waste time.

I’ve been very patient with you about this!”

Yan Fei stopped what he was doing, looked at him, didn’t say a word, took a step back and then kicked at the wooden stake tied to the bull.

“Crack!”

The pole, as thick as a bowl, broke off from the base, scaring the calf into a jump.

Although the stake used to tie up the cattle had been exposed to wind and sun, and especially its base near the muddy ground was a bit rotten, it was still a sturdy tree pole planted into the ground, not something anyone could kick and break so easily.

The surrounding people immediately gasped and murmured, but all in low voices, not saying much else.

Yan Fei silently picked up the reins, smoothed out the rope from the broken ends, and pacified the restless calf.

“Xiao Fei, what’s going on?

Did you find the cow you like?” Pang Fa squeezed in from the crowd, quickly asking upon surveying the scene.

“Brother Fa, come and be our judge.

We had already agreed to buy the bull, but he snatched it up.

We didn’t say anything.

Now he won’t pay and even kicked the stake in half.

Whose fault is it?” The young man named Xiaohei, upon seeing Pang Fa, preemptively raised his voice before Yan Fei could speak.

Pang Fa was initially taken aback, said a few words to Xiaohei, and then walked over to Yan Fei to ask what happened.

Pang Fa soon laughed, “Haven’t you been here before?

How do you not know the rules?

The twenty yuan is a service fee.”

Upon Pang Fa’s explanation, Yan Fei quickly understood his mistake.

The market was filled with bulls and horses all day long.

How did it remain so clean?

The piles of manure certainly didn’t disappear on their own; they were cleaned by the market management staff.

Besides that, transactions for large livestock like cows, horses, and donkeys often amounted to several hundreds or thousands of yuan.

In a rural town, that was considered a significant transaction.

The Market Management Office provided a proof-of-purchase document as evidence to prevent future disputes.

“Brother Xiaohei, I didn’t know about this rule.

Here’s the twenty yuan, sorry for the trouble!” Yan Fei corrected his mistake, took out the money and apologized to Xiaohei.

They were all from the same town and as long as there wasn’t intentional troublemaking, there were no major issues after an explanation.

Moreover, Pang Fa had secretly mentioned that Xiaohei was the real brother of Heizi, who had “helped” Yan Fei hunt rabbits at night.

Upon hearing this, Yan Fei chuckled.

Even for the sake of the rabbit incident, the unpleasantness earlier should now be done and dusted.

Xiaohei spent all day in the market and wasn’t a stubborn person.

He waved his hand and declined Yan Fei’s twenty yuan, laughing, “You should’ve said earlier that you were Yan Fei, knowing that it was you, there would have been no problem.

This transaction is on the house.

I’ll deal with the paperwork now.”

As he walked out, he looked at the crowd and probably thought it wasn’t appropriate to abuse his authority so blatantly.

He laughed and said to the crowd, “Do you know who he is?

Last year, he singlehandedly caught the three cattle thieves in our place.

He caught all three of them, none of them escaped and two were left handicapped.

The stolen cows were returned the very same day.

He’s the young hero who was rewarded by the Public Security Bureau.”

After finishing his speech, he ran out, leaving Yan Fei feeling very uncomfortable.

“Wow!

So this is the guy who caught the cattle thief.

No wonder he’s so powerful, kicking a post that thick in half.”

“I know about this.

The cow that was returned was from our neighboring village.

We thought it was lost and the women at home were crying their throats out.

Unbelievably, it was found that same day.”

“Damn!

If only we had come across him, we could have also let out some anger by giving him a few kicks.

That cattle thief was absolutely despicable.”

“That young hero knew his stuff.

I heard that the two disabled ones were pitiful, that’s a calmative for our anger…”

“Yeah, yeah, without him God knows how many more cows would have been lost…”

Surrounded by a volley of words, Yan Fei was very uncomfortable, but still had to answer the people around him about why he wanted to buy cattle, how he happened to meet the thief, and how he knew they were cattle thieves, and so on.

Don’t blame everyone for their enthusiasm.

Just think, if those cattle thieves hadn’t been caught, they would definitely have continued to steal.

Who knows how many they would have stolen before being caught?

It’s not easy raising cattle in rural areas.

Whether it’s because their children are going to college or their family contracting a serious illness, it often falls on the cattle to support them.

To put it bluntly, sometimes a cow is the lifeline for the entire family.

If those cattle thieves were to continue their deeds, one of the people present could well be their next victim.

Just thinking about their own cattle being stolen, people at the moment wouldn’t have the mood to watch the excitement.

Some might even be frightened to death.

Luckily, Xiaohei came over very quickly and registered everything in his notebook.

In addition to noting down the names of the buyer and seller and where their homes were, he also wrote a few simple lines about how many months old the calf was, what its distinctive features were, and so on.

Then, both parties pressed a bright scarlet fingerprint, along with an intermediary and a guarantor.

With their fingerprints pressed as well, the transaction would be considered complete and the deal was non-negotiable.

After completing the deal, Yan Fei expressed his apologies again.

After all, he had kicked and broken their stake!

But since the dispute had been resolved, this little matter didn’t matter.

Basically, they just needed to find someone to dig a hole and bury the broken half back in.

Pang Fa re-joined him alongside the cattle market, leading the earlier calf.

The two of them then returned to the cattle farm.

Heavy construction was underway in what was once a grim and ramshackle yard.

Ma Yongming was leading his team to help Yan Fei build the cattle shed and repair the house.

They also used bricks for the feed trough at the same time.

Originally, they would have also used wood, but with the construction team available, there was no need to hire anyone else.

They finished building everything together.

“Uncle Ming, something just occurred to me.

There’s no need to tear down this chicken coop, I have a few chickens at home that I’ll bring over.

And two puppies as well.

So, we won’t need a dog house, the dogs can just roam freely.

Oh yes, we also need a larger feed shed, and to fix the ground.

Later on, I’ll buy some distiller’s grains from Old Ma to feed the cattle.” As Yan Fei saw the workers about to dismantle the chicken coop, he hurriedly stopped them.

“Fine, we will leave the chicken coop for now!

But Yan Fei, are you planning on raising cattle or chickens?

Would you like to set up a pigsty for a few pigs also?” Uncle Ming couldn’t help himself from asking, seeing that Yan Fei wanted to raise chickens and dogs as well.

As soon as he finished, Yan Fei’s eyes lit up, and he looked pleasantly surprised, “Yeah, how didn’t I think of that!

Pigs eat anything and are easy to raise.

Go ahead and make a pigsty!

I’ll go and buy a few piglets in a minute.”

Uncle Ming was dumbfounded, while Pang Fa and the surrounding workers immediately started to laugh.

Yan Fei was genuinely thinking about raising pigs.

Because he remembered the sweet potatoes in the cave on the island.

With so many sweet potatoes, there must be a way to deal with them.

It would be a waste to throw them away, and they couldn’t be eaten up.

It would be perfect to feed them to pigs!

Because sweet potatoes are high in starch, they can’t be fed in large quantities to cattle, otherwise, the digestive system of the cattle will eventually have problems.

Pigs, however, don’t care.

If they’re fed sweet potatoes, they’ll grow quickly.

These sweet potatoes had almost become Yan Fei’s heartache, but now he had a solution, and he was absolutely delighted.

“Brother Fa, let’s make another trip.

I’ll quickly buy a few piglets while the market’s still open.

Oh yes, Uncle Ming.

Just go ahead and buy whatever cement bricks we need, I’ll pay you afterward when I bring the wages!” He then left with Pang Fa.

Uncle Ming was left gaping, and it took a while for him to react.

He was left amidst both laughter and tears in the yard, searching for a place to build the pigsty.

After all, they were all one family.

Yan Fei wasn’t worried that Uncle Ming would charge him too much.

He was genuinely helping.

Otherwise, with such a small task, Uncle Ming, who was a small boss, wouldn’t have come here to supervise the work himself.

Yan Fei would at least need to treat him to dinner afterwards.

Otherwise, not to mention that he wouldn’t be able to do all the work by himself, he wouldn’t even be able to ask Uncle Ming for help in the future.

Yan Fei had big plans.

Such a small yard could only house a limited number of cattle, he would certainly need to continue building cow sheds in the future.

(Documenting this massive tragedy.

There was a power cut in the afternoon.

This chapter was written several days ago, and as I was checking for errors, the power went out.

Just like that, I don’t know how but I lost everything.

It took me over an hour to recall and rewrite everything.

Had I known, I would have uploaded the chapter to the backend straight away.)
