Sister Han is good at farming
Chapter 24: Encouraging the Gambling Father
"Big brother, tie the ewe to the cattle pen in the backyard!"
Ruan Shian's eyes were fixed on the ewe and the lamb. His face flushed with excitement and he looked like he wanted to ask something but didn't dare to.
As soon as Ruan Qingqing spoke, he immediately came up to her and asked cautiously, "Sister, did our family buy this ewe and lamb?"
Ruan Qingqing touched his overly large head and said, "Yes! Doctor Li said that drinking goat milk is good for the body. My younger brother and sister are not full, and we can't eat anything else, so I bought a ewe and a lamb. From now on, I will boil the milk produced by the ewe and give each of you a bowl a day."
Ruan Shian's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Drink goat's milk! Even Brother Shigui has never drunk it!"
Ruan Shiping curled his lips and said, "Who wants to drink that fishy stuff?"
"That won't happen if you cook it with radishes." Ruan Qingqing explained patiently.
"Sister, I just want a taste, I don't need a whole bowl. Today, my little brother and sister cried for a long time because of hunger, and later mother could only feed them warm water!" Ruan Shian said like a little adult.
Ruan Qingqing was silent for a moment, "It's okay, once we raise the ewes, my little brother and little sister will have enough milk to eat!"
Ruan Shiping's mood also became depressed. He led the ewe to the cowshed in a depressed mood, and the lamb followed the ewe into the cowshed.
Ruan Shian was so surprised that he pointed at the lamb and shouted excitedly, "Sister, sister, the lamb automatically followed the mother sheep!"
"Well, the little lamb is just like us and likes to stick to its mother." Ruan Qingqing explained.
"So that's how it is!" Ruan Shian nodded solemnly as if he had gained incredible new knowledge.
"Daya, where did you get the money to buy the ewes and lambs?" Ruan Wantie asked hesitantly.
"I got it from selling the blueprints!" Ruan Qingqing said in a light tone.
After replying, Ruan Qingqing turned and went into the kitchen, took out the medicine she bought for Wang, washed the newly bought medicine pot, and boiled the medicine. She asked Ruan Lanlan to help light the fire, and she ran to the backyard with a large ceramic basin, one to check how the ewes were placed, and the other to learn how to milk the goats.
The goat milk must be provided to my brother and sister as soon as possible. They are not only not full after drinking rice soup all day, but also not nutritious enough.
The ewes were a little reluctant to come to the strange environment, and were not very active in eating grass, and were even more reluctant to cooperate in milking. It took Ruan Qingqing a long time to milk a basin of milk, but she was also covered in the smell of sheep.
"Be good next time and I'll give you the tenderest grass to eat!"
Ruan Qingqing wiped the sweat off her forehead and coaxed the ewe.
All that was answered was a few panicked bleating sounds.
Ruan Qingqing couldn't help laughing. Was she expecting the ewe to understand what she was saying?
After the goat milk was cooked, it was indeed not so fishy anymore. Ruan Qingqing prepared a small bowl for everyone.
After drinking the goat's milk, the twins had the most peaceful sleep since they were born. Wang felt very sad when she saw this.
"Finally they are full! I won't drink from this bowl, leave it for them." Wang said with red eyes as she looked at the sleeping twins.
"Mom, don't save this bowl! If you drink it, it will help you produce milk. Drinking goat milk is the only solution we have. If you have milk, that would be the best. In addition, I bought some tonics and milk-producing medicine today. After dinner, I will bring them to you. Doctor Li said that as long as you are healthy, milk will come naturally. Don't worry, let's get yourself well first."
Ruan Qingqing advised patiently.
"Okay, Daya, I'll listen to you!"
"Just take care of yourself. Don't worry about the rest. We'll take care of everything!"
Wang nodded with tears in her eyes.
After dinner, Ruan Qingqing took time to talk to Ruan Wantie alone.
"Dad, I only give you two choices. Either you never gamble again, or you divorce mom. From now on, you can do whatever you want, and I won't say a word!"
"Daya, I also want to do good for this family!"
"To do good for this family is to go gambling?"
"I can't do anything else. Only gambling allows me to win occasionally." Ruan Wantie said with his head down.
"Dad, think about it carefully. Since you started gambling, how many times have you won and lost? How much silver have you won and how much silver have you lost?"
"I know I lose more than I win. I just heard someone win 100 taels recently, and more than one person won. I think it might be that the gambling house is starting to have bad luck. I'm not greedy. I'll be satisfied if I can make or taels from it."
"Dad, let me ask you, does the gambling house need money to hire thugs? Do the people in the gambling house need to be paid? Why should they pay you to gamble? Don't they want to make a living?
Have you ever thought that your so-called luck is actually in their hands! What you heard about someone winning a hundred taels of silver is just a gimmick thrown out by others to attract more people like you to gamble and give them money! "
"I..." Ruan Wantie was left speechless.
"Dad, you said you can't do other things, but I know how to do everything since I was born? I used to catch pheasants? It's just that I was starving and forced to do it!
You said you can't do other things. Do you really not know how to do them or do you just not want to do them? Weren't you good at finding wild vegetables and chopping wood before? Why do you think you can't do them?
In the end, it's just that you always feel that there are other better options in your heart! You are still thinking about getting rich overnight by gambling! When there are no other options, I don't believe you can't do it!"
"But even if I calm down and work hard, no one believes in me and no one agrees with me. Then why should I work hard?" Ruan Wantie held his head in his hands with red eyes.
"Then you just quit? Go gamble? Use the last bit of money in the family to gamble? Don't care about the lives of your family members? Even push your mother who is about to give birth?" Ruan Qingqing was angry.
"I didn't ignore the lives of my family. Your mother made me angry, so I pushed her gently. I didn't push her hard. Besides, I want to bring a good life to my family through gambling, so you don't have to work so hard!"
"You almost starved us to death from gambling before, didn't you know that?
Don’t you know that mice are afraid of visiting empty houses?
Don't you know that the rice bowl is not as good as that of a beggar?
This is what you call a good day for us?
I worked so hard to make our family better off, but you come here and say you want to gamble again and take us to live a good life?"
"But I've looked for a job, but no one wants me!" Ruan Wantie said in a hoarse voice.
Ruan Qingqing closed her eyes, took two deep breaths, and then sighed.
"Dad, change may be difficult, but as long as you can survive and win, you will be reborn! Continuing to gamble may be the easiest choice at the moment, but it will eventually destroy you and make you lose everything.
Just like a dead tree, it is easy to continue to rot. But if it wants to sprout, it needs to accumulate all the vitality in its body to break through many obstacles and difficulties and break out of decay. Once it sprouts new buds, it will be greeted by a brand new spring and the following three seasons. Of course, if it chooses to continue to rot, it will no longer have spring and its four seasons!
Dad, do you want to be a dead tree that strives to sprout or a dead tree that continues to rot? Think about it carefully! "
