The reason for her panic was that just before she ran home, two pigs suddenly collapsed, convulsing and emitting hoarse cries. Some other pigs were also urinating.
“…But there was actually blood in the urine, Ningning. Mother wouldn't be mistaken; that was blood.”
“I mean, these pigs have been raised for almost a year. We were expecting the Commune to take half away soon, and the rest would be distributed to each household in our Village. Why is this happening now?”
“Do you think these pigs might die?”
Thinking of this possibility, Yao Chunhua's face turned pale.
If nine pigs really did die, they would have to account for it to the Commune. Then, not only would she lose her pig-raising job, but she might also have to pay compensation.
Nine pigs—that's a lot of money.
Yao Chunhua immediately ran to find her daughter when she saw something was wrong with the pigs. After all, her daughter would be a doctor in the future and knows something about pathology.
“Mother, don't worry. I'll go with you to see what's going on.”
Gu Jia Ning didn't delay and took her mother out.
They asked about the specific situation along the way.
Upon learning that her mother's recent feeding practices were the same as before, Gu Jia Ning thought that the cause of the pigs' problem was likely not her mother.
It was just unclear whether it was an accident or man-made.
If it was an accident, that's fine. But if it was man-made, then that person was definitely targeting her family.
Who could it be?
Gu Jia Ning's mind was racing, and she couldn't figure it out for the moment. She could only quickly follow her mother toward the Village pigpen.
On the way, she met her father.
“What's wrong? I just saw you rushing home.” Father Gu, who was at the Village Committee, happened to see his wife rushing home. He didn't manage to call out to her, fearing something might happen, so he hurried over.
“Dear, something's happened…” Yao Chunhua didn't hide anything and told him about the pigs.
“I was just about to take my daughter to see what's going on.”
“I'll go find Old Zhang. He's also a Village Doctor; maybe he has a solution.” Father Gu immediately knew the seriousness of the situation. Besides his daughter, Old Zhang was the only Village Doctor in the Village. Regardless of whether he could figure anything out, they should find someone to have a look first.
“Yes, yes, let's go find Old Zhang.”
So, Father Gu immediately changed direction and hurried toward Old Zhang's Village clinic.
Gu Jia Ning thought that regardless of whether the pig incident was accidental or man-made, these pigs must be saved, meaning cured.
At this time, she suddenly remembered something.
She asked in her heart: “System, our Divine Doctor Space shouldn't be limited to binding humans, right? Animals can also be bound, right? Like pigs.”
【Host, yes. Whether it's animals, plants, or people, as long as they can get sick, they can be bound.】
Gu Jia Ning was delighted. That's great.
This way, as long as she binds the nine pigs, the System can automatically analyze the cause.
And there will be corresponding treatment methods.
Then she could quickly spend some time learning these treatments and cure the nine pigs.
With a plan in mind, Gu Jia Ning felt relieved.
It's just…
As they approached, Gu Jia Ning frowned at the large crowd gathered nearby and asked, “Mother, were there so many people here before you came back?”
It seems many off-work people are here.
All of them are crowding around the pigpen.
“No, only me. Why are there so many people?”
And it looks like they're discussing something around the pigpen.
Thoughts flickered in Gu Jia Ning's eyes. In just a short while, these people knew?
Someone must have called them.
Are they trying to make a big deal out of it?
So, the person who called the villagers, was it accidental, did they happen to see it, or were they waiting?
If it's the latter, does that mean this incident is man-made?
And this person is the mastermind behind this incident, targeting the Gu Family?
“Hey, it's Yao Chunhua. She's here.”
Among the onlookers, someone with sharp eyes saw Yao Chunhua and immediately spoke up.
Thus, everyone's gaze fell on Yao Chunhua, and they rushed forward to ask.
“Aunt Yao, what's wrong with the pigs? Are they sick or have swine fever? They look so strange, convulsing there.”
“Oh my god, we've raised them for a year. What if these fat pigs die?”
“Chunhua, where have you been? The pigs are almost dead, and you ran away. Could it be that you did this to the pigs?”
One by one, they questioned Yao Chunhua, their tone implying accusations.
Of course, Yao Chunhua wasn't someone to be trifled with.
Although she was worried about the fat pigs, she didn't back down.
“Qin Zhaodi, did you eat manure? Why is your mouth spewing nonsense? Do you believe I'll tear your mouth apart? What do you mean I ran away? If I ran away, would you be seeing me now? What do you mean I did this to the pigs? Am I crazy? I just saw something was wrong with the pigs and went home to call my daughter to take a look.”
“Besides, I have a clear conscience. Why would I run?”
At this moment, Gu Yun Nan and Gu Yunzhou, who heard the commotion, also arrived. The two young men stood behind Yao Chunhua, making others hesitant to do anything.
They could only weakly say, “But you are raising these pigs. Now that there is a problem, who else should we ask but you?”
Qin Zhaodi was always jealous of Yao Chunhua having a Village Chief husband and this good pig-raising job.
Initially, when she heard that the Village was going to set up a small pigsty and was looking for someone to raise pigs for 10 cents a day, many women in the Village wanted the job.
Qin Zhaodi was one of them.
However, the job ultimately went to Yao Chunhua.
Because of this, Qin Zhaodi secretly said many bitter words and expressed her dissatisfaction with the unfairness.
But she didn't consider that pig-raising was not something the Village usually did.
It was Father Gu who talked to the Commune Leader for a long time before the pigsty was established, and Father Gu also used his connections to buy the piglets.
In short, Father Gu was the one who initiated this.
So what if he let his wife raise the pigs?
It was completely reasonable, and no one could find fault with it.
Seeing that no one supported her, Qin Zhaodi could only give up at the time.
She could only secretly curse Yao Chunhua for letting the pigs die.
However, despite her curses, Yao Chunhua's pigs were always well-raised.
And now, Yao Chunhua's pigs finally had a problem.
Upon learning this, Qin Zhaodi immediately ran over and also called other people.
Seeing the pigs seemingly having seizures and about to die, Qin Zhaodi was extremely excited. She acted like a mad dog, attacking Yao Chunhua.
If Gu Yun Nan and Gu Yunzhou hadn't arrived in time, and if Yao Chunhua hadn't been so strong and retorted,
the villagers' emotions might have been incited by Qin Zhaodi.
