The groom was kidnapped on the wedding day? Fine! I'll marry someone else.

After Xu Yu finished the call, he and Jiang Yi went to Xu Jianping's pig farm again.

As soon as the two of them walked near the pig farm, they met Xiao Tang and her second brother who were returning to the Xu family.

The four of them greeted each other, and Xu Yu talked about the call from his eldest brother and sister-in-law.

Xiao Tang's expression froze, and he said to the two of them, "I'll take my second brother back home first, and I'll come over later."

Xu Yu nodded and reminded them, "The road is slippery, be careful."

"know."

After saying that, the four of them walked in opposite directions.

When they arrived at the pig farm, Xu Jianping was standing at the innermost pigpen, staring at the dozen or so pigs in a daze.

Xu Yu called him, "Second Brother."

Xu Jianping turned around and looked over, his lips curled up subconsciously as he asked, "Jiang Yi, sister, Chunjuan and his second brother just returned. Did you meet them on the road?"

"Met."

Xu Yu and Jiang Yi walked over and stood beside him.

The three of them looked at the pigs in the pigsty together.

Xu Yu looked at it for a while and said, "It looks a little better than yesterday."

"Is that so?" Xu Jianping said confidently, as if comforted. "I think they'll be fine in a couple of days."

Xu Yu looked at his haggard and tired face and said to him, "It's just a dozen pigs. Whether they are good or not, it's not a big deal. Look at you now. No wonder Second Sister-in-law is worried about you."

Xu Jianping reached out and touched his face: "Actually, I never thought of telling Chunjuan about this."

"Are you blaming me for calling my second sister-in-law back?"

"No, no...I just don't want her to worry about me."

Xu Yu couldn't stand him being like this and said to him, "You men are like this. In times like this, you should be united as a couple. If you don't let your second sister-in-law know, she will be very angry when she finds out later, thinking that you don't treat her as your closest person."

"is it?"

"Guarantee."

Xu Jianping accepted the criticism and stopped talking.

Xu Yu then added, "My eldest brother and his wife just called back."

"Are they coming back?"

"No."

Xu Yu told him, "My elder brother and his wife said that there has been an outbreak of swine fever in the province where they live, and it's getting pretty serious."

Xu Jianping's face turned bad instantly.

Xu Yu added, "It's been raining heavily here, and the news hasn't been delivered in time. Second brother, you have to be careful and make decisions when you need to."

Jiang Yi also said: "You have to think about the trade-off between a dozen pigs and more than a hundred pigs."

Xu Jianping was still struggling: "The swine fever medicine that Doctor Huang prescribed has always been very effective. Aren't these pigs getting better too?"

He paused for a few seconds before adding, "Maybe it will all be cured."

After all, there were more than a dozen pigs, how could he bear to do that?

Xu Yu and Jiang Yi looked at each other and stopped talking.

Not long after, Xiao Tang and Xu Kui came over together.

Xu Yu told Xu Kui about his elder brother and sister-in-law calling him.

Xu Kui must be as reluctant as Xu Jianping.

Xiao Tang shared the same idea as Xu Yu and the others.

Xu Jianping said the same thing: "I want to take another look. They are getting a little better now."

Xiao Tang also knew that it would be a huge blow to him if he gave up more than a dozen pigs at once, so he didn't say anything else.

Xu Yu and Jiang Yi had lunch here and then went back.

After returning, Xu Yu thought about it and felt that if African swine fever really broke out, it would have an impact on other poultry and humans. In order for her family to always be able to eat meat, she still got a lot of medicine and asked Jiang Yi to take people to give it to the village chiefs of several nearby villages, and asked the village chiefs to distribute it.

He also asked everyone to spread lime in the pigpen.

By evening, the rain that had been falling for several days finally stopped.

Jiang Yi and his team also spread lime around the chicken coop in the back mountain and gave the chickens, ducks and geese medicine to prevent the plague.

Not long after dinner in the evening, Xu Jianhua came over.

Xu Yu and the others were a little surprised to see that he was the only one coming.

Xu Jianhua panted and said to them, "Brother-in-law, sister, my second brother asked me to come over here and tell you to hurry over. He said he has something important to discuss with you."

Xu Yu and Jiang Yi looked at each other and guessed something. Xu Yu went to get some sleeping pills and then went over.

At this time, Xu Jianping was still at the pig farm. Except for her, all the Xu family members were there. The women gathered outside, talking in a nonstop manner.

As soon as Xu Yu and the others arrived, a cousin immediately said, "Brother-in-law Jiang, Sister Xiaoyu, you're here! Brother Jianping said he wants to kill and bury all the dozen or so pigs in the pigpen."

Xu Yu and Jiang Yi hurried in.

At this time, Xu Jianping, Xiao Tang and a group of men were standing inside. Except for Xu Jianping and Xiao Tang, everyone obviously didn't understand.

"Aren't they still fine? Why kill them and bury them?"

"That's right. They've grown to over 100 kilograms. In a few months they'll be ready to be sold."

"Killing and burying so many pigs will mean a lot of lost profit!"

……

Xu Jianping stood there without saying anything, but his eyes were red.

Xiao Tang held his hand without saying anything.

It wasn't until someone said Jiang Yi and Xiaoyu were coming that they both turned around and looked over.

Xu Yu and Jiang Yi took a look at the pigs in the pigsty and felt that the situation was indeed not very good, proving that the medicine was completely ineffective.

Jiang Yi reached out and patted Xu Jianping on the shoulder, saying, "Sacrifice the small for the big. Once you've made a decision, don't regret it."

Xu Jianping nodded, then said to the others, "Don't try to persuade me. I've been raising pigs for so long, I know their condition. If these pigs are not dealt with, the others will surely be lost."

Since he said so, Xu Kui also agreed with his decision: "Then kill him."

Xu Yu said, "Killing and burying them will pollute the air and spread the plague."

Then he took out some medicine and said, "I brought some drugs to make them unconscious. Let's burn them with fire."

Xu Jianping nodded: "Okay."

Do what you say, everyone take action immediately.

Most people went back to fetch firewood, hemp ropes and shoulder poles.

Jiang Yi also asked Xu Kui to go back and bring over a few bottles of tung oil.

Xu Yu took out the drugs and handed them to Xu Jianping.

Xu Jianping took the sleeping pills and went to the pigpen to knock all the dozen or so pigs unconscious.

In order not to affect other pigs, they carried the unconscious pigs directly into the mountains.

When they were taking action, many people in the village heard the news and came to watch the fun and help.

After carrying more than a dozen pigs to the bay behind the first mountain, everyone found a place with more rocks, set up wood, and then piled the pigs on top.

Jiang Yi handed the lit torch to Xu Jianping.

Xu Jianping looked at the torch in front of him and his body trembled slightly.

Xiao Tang hugged his arm and said, "Jianping, don't be sad. We can continue to raise the pigs even if we lose them."

Xu Jianping then took the torch, gritted his teeth, and threw the torch directly onto the pile of firewood and pigs soaked in tung oil.

Then everyone evacuated quickly.

When they reached halfway up the mountain, everyone stopped to look at the huge flames burning in the bay.

Many people said it was a pity.

At this moment, Xu Jianping suddenly squatted down and burst into tears.

His crying stunned everyone.

Everyone looked at him.

Xiao Tang quickly squatted down, put his arm around his shoulders, and comforted him: "Jianping, don't be sad."

"In the future, we will raise lots and lots of pigs and make lots and lots of money."

Xu Yu and the others were also busy comforting him.

Xu Jianping was really sad. He had raised these pigs carefully day by day, just waiting for them to make money, but now he had to burn them with his own hands. He felt so sad!

He felt that what was burning today was not the pigs he raised, but his self-confidence.

He was so sad that he just wanted to cry.

But as he cried, he felt embarrassed. He quickly wiped his tears, looked up and said to everyone, "I'm fine."

Then you have to stand up with Xiao Tang.

Maybe it was because he had been squatting for too long. When Xiao Tang stood up, he suddenly felt dizzy and staggered.

Xu Jianping hurriedly hugged her and asked in shock, "Wife, what's wrong with you?"

Xu Yu was close to them and quickly extended his hand.

Her hand just happened to rest on Xiao Tang's wrist. When Xiao Tang recovered and smiled and said to them, "I'm fine," Xu Yu said in surprise, "Second sister-in-law is pregnant."

Xu Jianping almost couldn't bear the overwhelming combination of sadness and joy. His body swayed, but the next second, he hugged Xiao Tang and cried with joy: "Wife, this is great, we have a child!"

Xiao Tang was hugged too tightly by Xu Jianping, but she didn't mind. Instead, she raised the corner of her lips, touched his head, and nodded.
