Chapter 3912: There’s More to the Story

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Xu Qingqing hesitated for a moment. Although she didn’t mind coming to this kind of place with Lin Yi to shoot, she still resisted helping a cow give birth.

It was too dirty, and the smell was also strong. If she wasn’t constantly controlling herself, she would have thrown up already.

"Don’t ask why, just go over there quickly."

Li Wei pulled Xu Qingqing over, and she could only do as he said. The two helped the villagers pull the rope to assist the cow in giving birth.

There’s no denying that Li Wei is indeed a smart person. He had already foreseen that once this episode aired, Xu Qingqing’s reputation would absolutely have a massive turnaround, not to mention she would dominate the trending searches.

The good days are yet to come.

"One, two, one!"

"One, two, one!"

The crowd shouted slogans, and the calf was pulled out little by little until it smoothly slipped from the mother’s body onto the blanket.

"Pat its head and let it breathe on its own."

The villagers knew how to do this task. After all, they were all experienced cow breeders and knew what to do. Lin Yi didn’t need to do anything more from here.

Everyone showed joy on their faces. Zhou Li pulled Lin Yi aside.

"Did you use to work as a vet before? You even know how to do this—I really underestimated you."

Lin Yi smiled, "I stayed in the countryside before, so I know how to do this."

"If this gets around the station, you’re really going to become famous."

Lin Yi laughed heartily, feeling very happy to see the calf was fine.

But the most bewildered one was Mao Hai Long.

He originally thought he had them trapped. Without him, the cow would surely die.

Who would have dreamed that this Journalist could assist in a cow’s childbirth?

What kind of magical plot is this?

Lin Yi stood aside, took off his gloves, and tossed them. Zhou Li took a wet wipe to clean the dirt on Lin Yi’s clothes.

Moo...

At this moment, the calf let out a cry, indicating a successful birth, and confirming the calf had no health problems.

After the birth, Zhang Xuekun stepped forward and untied the rope from the cow’s head.

The cow lowered its head and licked the calf. Everyone present saw a strong display of maternal love.

Soon, the little calf was able to move around. Zhang Xuekun’s wife brought out a basin of clean water for Lin Yi to wash his hands.

"Journalist, thank you so much."

Zhang Xuekun warmly shook Lin Yi’s hand a few times. "If you hadn’t come, this cow wouldn’t have made it."

"You’re welcome."

After cleaning the dirt off himself, Lin Yi picked up the microphone again, and everyone’s gaze turned to Mao Hai Long.

The villagers’ faces showed some hostility.

This cow could have given birth normally, but he went ahead and prescribed four medicines, which totaled over 600 yuan!

What’s his motive!

"The cow’s done giving birth, I’m leaving."

Mao Hai Long didn’t want to linger in this place rife with trouble and prepared to leave with his belongings.

At this moment, Lin Yi walked over and stopped Mao Hai Long.

"Don’t leave yet, we want to interview you about your issues with Pan Yongbing."

"I already said it was just an accident. You’re coming to find me for it, which is really over the top."

"Whether it was an accident or not is something we can discuss later, but your use of illegal drugs is an indisputable fact. How do you explain that?"

Mao Hai Long was speechless for a moment and didn’t know how to justify himself.

Although this kind of thing has been happening in rural areas, and the authorities turn a blind eye, it’s not something you discuss openly.

"There’s nothing to explain."

Leaving those words, Mao Hai Long hurried out, wanting to leave this place.

"Follow him."

Zhou Li called out, and the others followed closely behind.

Lin Yi stepped forward and grabbed Mao Hai Long.

"It’s impossible to leave after something like this happens."

"You’re fucking crazy!"

Emotionally charged, Mao Hai Long pointed at Lin Yi, cursing and saying, "Get lost, or I’ll kill you!"

Next to him, Xu Qingqing was startled.

She felt this person was insane and dared to say such things in front of the camera.

Mao Hai Long got in the car, slammed on the gas, and drove away.

Considering his identity and the presence of other villagers, Lin Yi did not use force to intercept him, but he wasn’t worried.

You can run, but you can’t hide; his shop is still in town, so catching him would be a piece of cake.

With Mao Hai Long gone, Lin Yi and the others focused their interview on Zhang Xuekun.

"Would you be able to do an interview now? I want to discuss what happened."

"Sure, ask whatever you want."

"I heard he’s been the village vet for over a month now. What do you think of his skills?"

Zhang Xuekun thought for a moment, "Not great."

"Indeed, not great. Our cow ate pig feed a few days ago, and it fermented in its stomach, swelling up like a balloon," a bald villager said:

"I called him at the time. He came over and gave me a few hundred yuan worth of medicine, but it didn’t help at all. He even said there was nothing more he could do, just wait for it to die, and then drove off. In the end, I had no choice but to call Old Ma. He told me over the phone what to do, and the cow was cured without spending a penny."

"This Old Ma you’re talking about was the previous veterinarian, right? I heard he had a great reputation and reasonable prices."

"Certainly not expensive," Zhang Xuekun said:

"Mao Hai Long charged me over 600 yuan for four medicines, plus his visitation and labor fees, totaling 1,200 yuan. If Old Ma had done the job, 150 yuan would be considered generous."

"That price indeed doesn’t sound expensive."

"More than just not expensive, it was dirt cheap. It’s a pity he’s not around anymore," Zhang Xuekun said with some regret.

"I heard he retired because of old age and wasn’t in good health," Lin Yi said casually.

"Come on, I feel like it has nothing to do with age," the bald villager said.

"Then what does it have to do with?"

"Last month when we slaughtered a cow at our place, I invited him over for drinks. He drank more than half a pound, ate, and slept well. What could be wrong with him?" the bald man said:

"I suspect he was driven away."

"Hmm? Driven away?"

"There was only one vet in the surrounding villages, and everyone with cow issues would call him. Last year another vet came, but no one went to him; everyone called Old Ma. All the money went to Old Ma, so someone must have been jealous," the bald man said:

"These villages all raise cows, and they all called him for help, making a lot of money annually. But when it comes to skills, no one can surpass Old Ma, so they had to chase him away to take over the work."

Lin Yi and the others realized there was more to the story here.

"Where is this Old Ma? We’d like to interview him."
