Chapter 843: What proof you have that you are his mother ?
---------------------------
Yu Dong's words caused a stir in the market, some of the cattle sellers were there to see what was going on and when they heard that the calf and its mother were sick with fever, their expression changed all of a sudden. They did not understand what Bovine fever was but they could see that the woman who was speaking was a wise and wealthy one, surely if the calf was as healthy as its seller announced then surely it can be sold for a very decent price and this wealthy woman would not have bothered with such a small sum.
" W..What are you saying, madam? If you don't want to buy the calf and the cow, just say it there is no need for you to lie like this," the seller's face could not help but twitch when she heard Yu Dong's words, she, of course, knew that her calf was suffering from fever, she had once tried to take it to an animal doctor who told her that it was suffering from something similar to what Yu Dong said and told her that it will need really expensive herbs to become healthy again this was why she was willing to sell this calf.
It can neither be eaten by her family nor used by them —— they were afraid that if they ate it they will get sick and the butcher in the town was really smart, they did not buy this calf or its mother given that they knew that something was wrong with it and her family did not know how to skin and kill animals which made it impossible for her to sell this calf and its mother.
This was why she brought it to the cattle market thinking that as long as she did a good job advertising some fool will definitely buy it but she did not expect to run into an expert! Now she could only muddle her way through the situation!
How can Yu Dong not know what was going on in the head of the woman? She immediately raised a brow and then pointed at the calf which was shivering and then said straightforwardly, " Th calf is suffering from lameness, shivering and I just touched it and its fur is hot which shows that it is also suffering from fever, if these are not the signs of bovine fever what else it is? If you think that I am speaking nonsense and trying to make things difficult for you, then you can come with me to an animal doctor, we can clear this matter up."
She then paused and added, " I cannot allow you to blame me like such, why don't we go and clear it up? If you are not wrong then I will purchase the calf and its mother at forty taels and even apologise to you but in case you are the one who is in the wrong then we are going to the yamen. Care to bet."
When the crowd heard Yu Dong's suggestion they were more and less convinced by what she said, after all what kind of woman would take such a risk? Buying a calf and cow at forty taels? At that crazy price, she can buy at least five cows!
The crowd was immediately convinced by Yu Dong and they all turned to look at the woman who was selling the calf and cow, seeing that she was exposed, the seller did not dare to haggle anymore —— she could only sell the mother and calf pair to Yu Dong at a cheap price of seven taels and then run away from the cattle market with her face covered since the cattle owners were all scolding her for making things difficult for them.
Yu Dong on the other hand did not bother with that woman instead she turned to look at Village head Gu and asked her to take the calf and its mother cow to the carriage while she herself went and bought two healthy oxen and then returned to the carriage.
While she was buying the oxen she was slightly worried about Shen Li since she knew that the Shen family's mother and daughter pair went to look for her husband but she decisively chose to suppress her worries, she could not protect the mers all the time like a mother hen.
If they wished to stand on their feet then she could only leave such a small matter to their hands, in fact, today she will realise whether or not Shen Li can really go against the Shen family or not.
If not then she will deal with the Shen family accordingly even if it means to taint her hands with blood.
….
" I am telling you that I am Shen Li's mother! Why can I not go inside the village?" Just as Yu Dong thought, Madam Shen and Shen Hanxing indeed went to look for Shen Li but were stopped by the guards who were standing outside the village.
This was a job that paid them better than the work they did in the fields thus the woman who were appointed as guards took their work really seriously.
As soon as they saw that a mean-looking woman was heading towards their village along with the woman who pushed Shen Li and immediately raised their guards up as they stopped the two from entering the village which annoyed Madam Shen greatly.
This was fantastic, not only was she embarrassed by her daughter-in-law but now she was also being stopped from entering the village!
" Did you not hear what I said?" Madam Shen asked as she glared at the two guards who were stopping her.
Seeing that the woman was not willing to leave, the guard on the left surnamed Chu said with an annoyed voice, " Old Madam, it's not that we are not listening. Master Shen has been married in the village for more than three years, and we never saw you coming to see him. Even when he was brought on a broken wooden cart which Madam Yu hired, no one was with him, how can we believe that you are his mother?"
