Chapter 3038 Pig Farm
Chen Biao and Ju'er's marriage was scheduled to take place on March 16th of the lunar calendar, which happened to be after Chen Biao's father's May 7th.
"There are still seven or eight days left, and I don't know if I can make it in time. It's such a rush!"
Yang Huaming came to visit Yang Huazhong's house and talked about the wedding arrangements with a slumped face.
Yang Huazhong said: "What's so sad about this? It's a good thing that the child is getting married!"
Yang Huaming said: "I have made an agreement with Lao Wu to use a room in their house as a wedding room for Ju'er and Chen Biao."
"In their room, there are beds, clothes cabinets, tables and chairs, all of which were used by Lao Wu and the others in the past. Sixty percent of the new ones have not been brought to the new house. Now they are all left to Ju'er and Chen Biao." Yang Huaming said.
.
Yang Huazhong said: "That's good. When we get married, it's a little simpler. We just have a house to live in and a place to sleep."
"Wait until you get married and slowly earn money to buy these things. Don't be in a hurry." He said.
Yang Huaming added: "I think the same way as you, Third Brother. What I'm worried about now is another matter."
"What's going on?" Yang Huazhong asked again.
Yang Huaming said: "Lao Wu and the others were kind enough to give the house to Ju'er and Chen Biao to live in, but their house has been empty for two months. It is damp and moldy inside. It needs to be cleaned thoroughly."
"There is no one to do things like setting up a new bed, making bedding, and putting happy words on them. It's a mess. I can't do it alone. Xiaojuan has to take medicine every day."
"Aside from taking medicine or locking myself in the room and crying in front of the mirror, no one does those things. I'm really worried!" Yang Huaming added.
Yang Huazhong was puzzled, "Where's Madam Ju'er? My daughter is getting married. It's the mother who should take care of these things. Why do you need to worry about this?"
Yang Huaming said: "Stop mentioning her, I will get angry if you mention her!"
"What's wrong with her?" Yang Huazhong asked.
Yang Huaming said: "He'er and Yu Jinbao were building a pig farm. She went to cook for the workers. At best, she went to cook, and at worst, she just went there to eat and drink!"
"I told her a few days ago to stop going and come back to decorate the new house."
"She was perfunctory and went back not long after. Maybe she thought I was nagging, so she just stayed at He'er's place these days."
"I'm so angry. This Zuo Niang has no sense of responsibility at all!" Yang Huaming said.
On the side, Mrs. Sun said: "If Madam Ju'er is really not free, I will go and clean the house later."
Yang Huaming said: "Third sister-in-law, I appreciate your kindness, but we can't tolerate her in this matter. I'll go to Yujiacun myself later and I'll have to drag her back!"
…
The next day, Yang Huaming came to Yang Huazhong's house again, and Yang Ruoqing happened to be eating here with her children.
"What's wrong with you, Fourth? Why don't you look good?" Yang Huazhong saw it at a glance, put down his chopsticks and asked.
Yang Ruoqing also looked up at Yang Huaming.
Yang Huaming found a stool and sat down by himself, and said: "Today I went to Yujia Village. I originally wanted to drag Ju'er Niang back, but when I saw the place where the pig farm was built, I was not happy.
.”
"What's going on?" Yang Huazhong asked.
Yang Ruoqing also pricked up her ears. Basically no one in the old Yang family paid attention to the matter of Yu Jinbao and Yang Ruohe building a pig farm.
Therefore, not only Yang Huazhong is unclear, but Yang Ruoqing is also unclear.
"Uncle Fourth, what's going on with their pig farm?" Yang Ruoqing also asked.
Yang Huaming said: "Do you know the open space above Yujiacun near the reservoir?" Yang Huaming asked.
Yang Ruoqing nodded, "Of course I know. That year there was a flood, so we started digging canals from there."
Yang Huaming said: "They actually built the pigsty there!"
"I told them before that I asked the Earth Fairy to strangle it. They can't build it in that place. That place is not good. People drowned in the reservoir in the past. It's unlucky!"
"They just don't listen to me and insist on building the pig pen there. If the pigs are not raised well, they will lose money and die!"
"I spoke to Yu Jinbao and He'erna, but they didn't take my father-in-law's words seriously at all. Do you think they are irritating or not?"
Hearing Yang Huaming's words, Yang Ruoqing raised her eyebrows.
"What? The pig farm is built there?" she asked.
Yang Huaming said: "What? Qing'er, do you also think there is something wrong there?"
Yang Ruoqing said: "Of course it's not appropriate, that place is upwind."
"When the pig farm is built, the stinky smell of pig feces and urine will be blown to the leeward direction. Yujia Village, which is the closest, will be the first to be killed, followed by Zhengjia Village, Jinjia Village, and our Changping Village.
Although the village is not downwind,"
"But don't forget that there is a reservoir next to the pig farm. Pig feces and urine are discharged all the way down the canal there. When the time comes, it will directly lead to the river behind Changping Village."
"The river passes through Zhengjia Village, Yujia Village, Jinjia Village, then turns around and passes behind our Changping Village, heading towards Lijia Village..."
"Ah?" Yang Huaming's eyes widened and his mouth couldn't close in shock.
"Qing'er, according to what you say, if this pig farm is built and the little piggy is captured..."
"No one from ten miles and eighty villages would agree. Who can bear to eat and sleep with that stinking smell? Do you use water mixed with pig urine for washing vegetables, washing and bathing?"
Yang Ruoqing directly interrupted Yang Huaming.
Yang Huazhong also had a serious face, "Fourth brother, what Qing'er said makes sense, that place really cannot be used to build a pig farm!"
"Look at the pig farm built by Aunt Qing'er and the others. It is downwind of the village and downstream of the river."
"And the pig urine and other things in the pig farm are all dug into a pond and processed, and then transported to the fields to be used as fertilizer to nourish the crops." Yang Huazhong said.
"Ah? It's all like this..." Yang Huaming was dumbfounded.
Yang Ruoqing continued: "Fourth Uncle, He'er and the others are going to open a pig farm. Didn't they inquire about this beforehand? Did they just build it in such a hurry?"
"Also, who allocated the land over the reservoir to them?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.
Yang Huaming said: "That piece of land does not need to be allocated by others. It originally belonged to Yu Jinbao's family."
Yang Ruoqing suddenly realized that that area really seemed to be the boundary of Yujiacun.
Yang Huazhong then asked Yang Huaming: "How much has the pig farm been built? Is it almost completed? Is it too late to stop it now?"
Yang Huaming said: "Everything that needs to be done is almost done. Now we just wait for the piggy to come back and open the business."
"I heard them say that it cost ten taels of silver to build a pig farm, and they also paid a deposit of ten taels of silver to catch the piglets,"
"The wages paid to the craftsmen, as well as some other miscellaneous things, cost a total of three or four taels. Now I only have five or six taels of silver left on hand, and I still have to pay for the follow-up money..."
