章節 266: Buying a Cow

The old women thought to herself, even though they have a cow at home, people are currently starving, where could they find enough grass to feed the cow? The cow had been raised for two months and only produced two bottles of milk.

Her husband was ill at home. If she sold the milk too cheaply, she wouldn't have money to treat her husband's illness, nor would they have funds to continue raising the cow. Yet, if she asked for too much, what if the customers refused to buy?

While the old women hesitated, Jiang Chuan approached and struck up a conversation, "Madam, is it easy to raise a milk cow in these times?"

His words hit right where the old madam's worries were. Her face creased with worry, "Don't even mention it. In these famine-stricken times, raising livestock is a drain without much return. If it weren't for my husband needing medical treatment, these two bottles of milk would be reserved for my daughter-in-law, who is pregnant. She mustn't go hungry."
