Chapter 405: Solve the Trouble

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

On the surface, the issue seemed to be just a conflict between Qin Ming and Wang Xing, but in reality, it had already escalated into a crisis of trust.

Due to problems with the dairy cows, employees started leaving, leading to doubts about the farm and a wave of resignations.

Once employees were accustomed to working, not earning money made it difficult to survive, and it was impossible for them to stay idle at home. They were eager to find other jobs, and the only available options were Xiao Wu’s fish pond and Xiao Li’s supply and marketing cooperative.

However, these places had limited staffing needs, which were already met, so Xiao Wu had no choice but to refuse extra help. This led to rumors that Xiao Wu, with his changed status, looked down on the villagers and was unwilling to help.

Xiao Wu’s fish pond was barely getting by and wasn’t yet on the right track, so he couldn’t afford to hire more staff, putting him in a difficult position.

Zhou Lan thought simply and suggested, ‘Why waste words? Just beat him up, and that will solve it!’

Jiang Chuan stopped her, saying, ‘Beating him up is easy, but the issue is that the villagers have lost faith in the farm, not because of Wang Xing’s troublemaking.’

Jiang Xia also calmed Zhou Lan, adding, ‘The most serious issue is food safety, which is everyone’s concern. Once this issue arises, it requires significant public relations efforts to regain their trust.’

Jiang Xia tugged at Jiang Chuan’s sleeve and whispered, ‘Dad, the most important thing now is to cure the cows. Everything else is secondary.’

Jiang Chuan nodded in agreement and told Qin Ming, ‘Let’s first see what’s wrong with the cows. We’ll deal with the farm’s problems before anything else.’

Qin Ming nodded and led the way to the pasture.

This farm, previously used for raising chickens and ducks, had been transformed into a pasture after renovations and expansions.

Jiang Xia observed the listless cows, clearly sick, while the sheep were unaffected, suggesting someone had deliberately poisoned the cows.

Jiang Chuan, sharing Jiang Xia’s suspicions, asked Qin Ming, ‘Have you checked if any village workers in your farm are colluding with Wang Xing to poison the cows? Otherwise, there’s no reason for the cows to get sick like this.’

The possibility of an epidemic was another reason, but Jiang Chuan hesitated to mention it, as it would only cause more panic. Given that the sheep were fine and only the cows were sick, this possibility seemed less likely.

Qin Ming sighed, ‘I’ve checked every villager. We all know each other in this village. There’s one worker who is Wang Xing’s cousin. I couldn’t just turn him away, so I kept him on the farm.’

Qin Ming was generally good-natured but cared too much about face, which led to trouble by keeping Wang Xing’s cousin.

Jiang Chuan, stroking his chin, realized the problem was likely this person secretly drugging the cows, causing their illness.

‘Let’s focus on curing the cows first,’ he suggested.

Qin Ming, puzzled, asked, ‘How?’

Jiang Chuan replied, ‘I have some medicinal powder that might work. It’s a shot in the dark, but let’s see if it helps the cows.’

This powder was actually Lingzhi spore powder from Jiang Xia’s interspace.

Jiang Xia also used the same method to make the cows drink water from her interspace. To be safe, she gave some to the sheep as well. Soon after, the cows started jumping around energetically.

With the cow problem solved, it was time to deal with Wang Xing.

Wang Xing, spreading rumors, had become weak and bedridden after drinking Qin Ming’s milk, as if one foot was already in the underworld. So, Qin Ming and Jiang Chuan decided to visit Wang Xing’s house to see the situation for themselves.

However, they knew they couldn’t go alone, as Wang Xing might falsely accuse them again, leaving them defenseless. Therefore, they decided to bring Tian Zao along..”
