Chapter 374: Chapter 85: Go Back up Dad _1

After leaving the Cattle Market, Heizi clutched his stomach and wailed, "Brother Fei, you’re not planning on going straight home, are you? I’m starving!"

Yan Fei stopped in his tracks. "We’re leading so many cows, how can we go for a meal? Which restaurant has a place at their door to tie up all these cows we have? How about we buy some buns to tide us over?"

These two didn’t have his monstrous constitution. They hadn’t eaten much since early morning, and they were definitely starving. They hadn’t noticed while they were excited earlier, but they were feeling the hunger now.

Hearing him mention buying buns, Heizi agreed readily, "That’s fine! Anything works, as long as it can fill my stomach."

But then Yan Fei changed his mind, and after thinking for a bit, said, "Let’s go to my house, my mom will cook for us! Their family member’s yard is big, and can definitely accommodate a few cows. And after eating, you guys can rest for a bit before leaving."

Hearing this, Heizi and Tian Dafu became less willing to go. It was all right to eat outside, but leading so many cows into someone’s house was rather inappropriate!

Tian Dafu wanted to say something but didn’t dare to, while Heizi nodded and said, "How about I buy some Baked Buns instead, just to fill us up. After all, we’ll be home soon."

Seeing Heizi back down, Yan Fei frowned, "What’s wrong with going to my house? Aren’t we allowed to eat and rest?"

Heizi still wanted to say something, but seeing his insistence, he decided to drop the matter.

The more hesitant these two were, the more Yan Fei urged them, "Hurry up, or my parents will go to work soon. If there’s no one to cook, I’ll have to do it myself."

Three men and ten cows definitely drew attention. Walking along, Yan Fei thought that he was doing the right thing.

The fact that his father didn’t get promoted in the morning had upset Yan Fei. The fertilizer factory was not small, and with its size came all sorts of people. Rumor had it that Yan Chao was a corrupt official, hadn’t he?

Now this was perfect. Leading the cows, people would see if his family lacked money. This was for his father’s support and anger.

Actually, two out of the ten cows were calves. Since he had already bought ten calves last time, this time he was mainly looking for a Fattened Cow. But he got a good calf for Tian Dafu, and another good one that he couldn’t help but buy.

Even so, this was not a small sum of money. Although the workers of the fertilizer factory had a steady income and were certainly much stronger compared to the rural towns, very few could afford to spend so much at once. After all, their daily expenses were bigger, they had to buy everything, unlike in the countryside where at least a large portion of food expenses can be saved.

Look at Yan Fei’s parents. Both had worked at the fertilizer factory for many years. Because they had recently had to deal with their grandfather’s funeral and moving to a new house, they couldn’t even afford ten thousand yuan.

That was when the house was a factory fundraising house, and the price was cheaper. Otherwise, we would have had even less money.

Since he decided to be high-profile and back up his father, when he was about to enter the gate of the fertilizer factory’s family members’ yard, Yan Fei said to Heizi and others, "There’s been some issues in my dad’s factory recently. Because of the last time I paid the Bride Price, he insisted on paying it himself, two months of wages in advance. Some people are gossiping about it. So, don’t hang your heads, show some spirit and let them see."

His request... this... wasn’t this an opportunity he’d been waiting for? It was exactly what he wanted!

Heizi was excited.

Like he was doped, instantly erasing all his fatigue and hunger, he walked two steps ahead, strutting grandly through the entrance of the family members’ yard at the fertilizer factory.

As soon as they entered the gate, they met an old man watching the gate. When he saw Heizi leading the cows in, he called out, "Hey, young man, this is the family members’ yard. How can you bring cows in?"

Heizi retorted right away, "We’re from Yan Family’s cattle farm at Sancha River. Our boss’s parents are from your factory, he’s right there behind me! We bought some cows in town today and got a bit delayed, so we came to grab a bite."

The old man chuckled, "My, you bought quite a lot. That must have cost quite a bit!"

"Not much, not much." Heizi boasted. "This is nothing. Our cattle farm mainly raises Breeding Bulls. These cows are just additions. Otherwise, the cattle farm would be too big and uncomfortable with empty spaces."

Anyway, nobody taxes you for bragging, so they just said that freely.

The three men and ten cows walked into the yard grandly. People had finished their meals and were out in the sun for a walk, and many children were playing.

Seeing so many people, Heizi got excited. Looking around, he shouted, "Brother Fei, where do we tie our cows? The yard is too small, there isn’t even a place to tie cows. It’s smaller compared to our cattle farm!"

Bragging, just keep bragging.

Yan Fei was beginning to regret letting this guy show off so much.

However, the effect was indeed good, someone recognized him and came over to ask cheerfully, "Yan Fei, are all these cows yours?"

Before Yan Fei could reply, Heizi interjected, "Of course. Brother Fei is now one of the top cattle farmers in Sancha River. This number of cows is nothing. It’s just hard on us, the ten or so workers, getting paid less than a thousand a month. We need to take care of dozens of cows, dozens of pigs, and also manage the vegetable greenhouse. We’re worked hard every day!"

Well, the highest wage for the cattle farm was Ma Chao, only five hundred yuan. Others even had one hundred yuan! The total was indeed less than one thousand, which made the statement totally accurate.

The one who asked the question suddenly fell silent, the bystanders began to calculate in their minds: ten or so workers, each getting less than a thousand yuan, taking into account the tone of the conversation, less than a thousand should be close enough, right? How much would that amount to in a month?

No one knew that the cattle farm was made up of a large number of old, weak, sick, and children, who didn’t want wages.

A somewhat knowledgeable person asked, "Dozens of cows! Nowadays, a cow costs three to four thousand yuan. That’s thirty to forty thousand for ten. You have dozens of them? That could amount to a hundred to two hundred thousand!"

Heizi looked up to the sky, affected a look of disdain, and said, "Our farm raises breeding bulls, and besides, the price of cows has increased now. Three to four thousand is just for ordinary cows like the ones we’re leading, the type used for meat after fattening. Our breeding bulls, even if you gave us ten thousand for one, we would have to sell them to you!"

Holy cow, keep blowing your own horn. If you keep it up, I’m afraid you’ll blow our cows at the farm to death. Will you compensate for that?

Yan Fei was utterly speechless. This guy could punt for his life. Sure, the cattle farm had good breeding bulls, but only about a dozen. The rest of the ten or so were young calves being raised to be breeding bulls, and they didn’t yet know what they would look like when they grew up. Ten thousand for each? You sure can brag!
