Chapter 642: Chapter 642 Accomplishments are insufficient, failures are more than enough Chapter 642: Chapter 642 Accomplishments are insufficient, failures are more than enough After sorting out the affairs with Huo Yuhao, Luo Qiao finally left, went home to pick up Second Brother Luo Xuyuan, and together they visited the Yipin Fruits and Vegetables Base in Ji City.
Luo Xuyuan felt that his sister was indeed more successful than any of his brothers had been. He hadn’t expected that, in addition to the Capital City, the Yipin Fruits and Vegetables Base in Ji City was thriving too.
In his heart, he thought that when he returned home, he would have to work even harder. Fortunately, the research they had undertaken over the past two years was about to yield results. The development phase was complete; they were just waiting for the production of the finished products. Once the products successfully hit the market, the subsequent benefits were expected to be vast.
Luo Qiao’s Yipin Fruits and Vegetables had quite a reputation now, with bases in various provinces, and not just one base in each. In addition to Yipin Fruits and Vegetables, there was also the Yamei Flower Garden, although in the north, only the provincial capitals had flower gardens, while in the south, the larger cities did as well.
However, Luo Qiao hadn’t shared these details with her family. Before, they only knew that Luo Qiao and a friend had partnered to start a vegetable base in the Capital City. Only now did Luo Siyuan realize that Yipin Fruits and Vegetables belonged to his sister.
It was impossible not to be shocked. He hadn’t expected his sister to have such great ambition—that was thousands of acres of land, which ordinary people wouldn’t dare to manage.
The next day, Luo Qiao took Luo Xuyuan back to Qingshan Village, but they were stunned as soon as they entered the village—all the villagers were on the riverbank, trying to catch pigs. The pigs were rampaging, running around chaotically.
Luo Qiao had wanted to ask what had happened, but then a pig charged at them. Luo Qiao, skilled with her hands and not afraid of the pigs, being someone who had survived in a post-apocalyptic world, quickly subdued the animal.
A villager came over to help tie the pig’s legs while Luo Qiao then asked, “What’s going on here, how did the pigs get out?”
The villager, busy with the work at hand, replied, “It’s all because of Gao Shunyi’s younger son; he’s really good for nothing except causing trouble.”
Today marked the start of spring, and the village had established a pig farm, which was considered communal property. Li Xiulan had insisted on letting her younger son, Gao Rusen, work at the pig farm since he had been injured before and couldn’t do heavy labor.
After discussing it, the village leaders had agreed.
Today was Gao Rusen’s turn to clean the pig pens. Unexpectedly, that kid had chased the piglets from the small pen to the large one without securing the gate. He had abandoned his cleaning halfway because someone had called for him, and he left with them.
If it hadn’t been for the children who were cutting grass behind the pens and sensed something wrong, notifying the village, all the pigs might have escaped.”
After a scene of total chaos, the last pig that had made it into the village was still on the loose. The Second Brother acted as if it had suddenly become enlightened. Despite being fat, it was an agile fatso, weaving through the crowd.
Village Chief Li Suozhu had wanted to block the pig head-on but didn’t expect it to charge straight at him. The Chief was thrown onto the pig’s back and ended up going for a ride, prompting shouts of alarm from the people as the Village Chief atop the pig was also quite frightened.
Fortunately, they didn’t run far before the crowd managed to stop them. Someone stepped forward to pull the Chief up, and together, they tied up the pig.
People coming down from the mountain approached the secretary and the Village Chief, “Secretary, Village Chief, two pigs fell off the cliff; they’re both injured.”
Village Chief Li Suozhu was very angry, turning to look at Gao Shunyi, “Shunyi, what do you think about this?”
Gao Shunyi was also feeling troubled; that annoying kid had now disappeared, causing such a disaster. He wondered if this was how his son intended to be the death of him.
Seeing that Gao Shunyi was not talking, the Village Chief then directed the village officials to send the tied-up pigs back to the pig farm. They couldn’t keep the pigs tied up like that forever. The old man responsible for feeding the pigs said with concern, “These pigs were quite frightened today; let’s hope they don’t stop eating and lose weight.”
The villagers didn’t look too pleased after hearing this, considering the two pigs that had been injured. The Village Chief was also in a dilemma; it didn’t seem worthwhile to slaughter and sell them now, but it was uncertain if they would recover if they didn’t.
They called in a veterinarian from the commune to look at the pigs. After examining the injured animals, the vet shook his head.
Standing up, he pointed to the pig on the ground: “This one has broken its leg, and though its head wound is bleeding, the bleeding has stopped, and it’s not a big issue. But that one over there won’t make it; it has lost too much blood. It’s best to deal with it quickly. With this heat, we don’t want any more complications.”
