Chapter 217: Exchange for Piglets

Xiuying said seriously, "Shiliu, Afan, after you two finish your meal, go and take some flour and eggs to the family that sang the song." Her voice was full of concern and kindness.

Shi Liu and A Fan looked at each other, then nodded and said, "Okay, Mom, don't worry."

Xiuying then instructed, "The mountain roads are difficult to walk on, so be careful. When you get there, ask the people about their situation and see if there's anything you can do to help."

Her eyes were full of worry, and she explained many precautions in detail.

Shi Liu responded obediently, "I know, Mom. We will be careful and make sure to deliver the things and find out the details."

Ah Fan also patted his chest and assured: "Aunt Xiuying, don't worry, we promise to complete the task."

Xiuying originally wanted to deliver it herself, thinking that this would appear more sincere. But then she changed her mind and was afraid that the family would feel embarrassed and feel like they owed them a favor.

So, she decided to let Shiliu and Afan go. She looked at the two children, her eyes full of love and trust, and she thought that if the children went, the family might have fewer concerns and be more likely to accept the gift.

Besides, the things that the child sent so far away could not be taken back. Xiuying knew this very well. She believed that no matter how polite the family was, they would not refuse such kindness in view of the child's hard work.

Thinking of this, Xiuying showed a relieved smile on her face and began to help the children prepare the things to be sent.

Xiuying carefully sent Shiliu and Afan out the door, and watched the children's figures gradually disappear into the distance before turning around and preparing to go back to the house.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I turned around, I saw Aunt Li and Aunt Sun walking towards me. They had an expectant look on their faces and walked hurriedly. They had heard that Xiuying's pigs had given birth to piglets, and they were a little excited, so they hurried over to ask if they were selling the piglets.

If you can raise a piglet, you can not only have meat to eat, but you can also sell some to supplement the family income.

As Aunt Li walked, she called out at the top of her voice, "Sister Xiuying, are you home?"

Mrs. Sun followed suit and said, "We're here to discuss something with you."

Seeing this, Xiuying hurriedly went to greet them with a smile. She guessed a little about the purpose of their visit, but she said warmly, "Hey, Aunt Li, Aunt Sun, come in, come in." Then she let the two of them in.

Mrs. Sun and Aunt Li stood in the yard, looking a little sheepish and embarrassed. Finally, Mrs. Sun spoke first: "Sister Xiuying, we are really embarrassed to say it, but we are really itching to go and see your piglets."

Aunt Li also nodded quickly and said earnestly, "Yes, Xiuying, please don't laugh at our impatience."

After hearing this, Xiuying was even more certain of her previous thoughts, but she didn't show it on her face. She still said with a warm and generous smile: "Look at what you two said, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. If you want to see it, let's go and see it!" After that, she led the two of them towards the pigpen without hesitation.

Mrs. Sun and Aunt Li followed Xiuying to the pigpen. When they saw the lively and adorable little piglets, they could hardly contain their excitement.

Their eyes lit up instantly, their gazes fixed on the piglet, and smiles of surprise appeared on their faces.

Mrs. Sun couldn't help but put her hands together in front of her chest and said excitedly: "Oh my, these little piglets are so cute!" Her voice trembled slightly with excitement, and her eyes were full of love and desire.

Aunt Li nodded repeatedly, her voice rising with excitement. "That's right! Look at these plump, round ones, so full of life!"

As she spoke, she moved forward, as if wanting to reach out and touch them, but was afraid of disturbing the little guys.

Both of them's breathing became rapid and their heartbeats kept accelerating, as if they saw hope and beauty in the future.

Xiuying looked at the excited expressions of Mrs. Sun and Aunt Li, and asked with a smile, "Mrs. Sun, Aunt Li, seeing that you like it so much, do you also want to raise a piglet?" Her eyes were full of kindness and expectation, and her voice was gentle and clear.

When Mrs. Sun and Aunt Li heard Xiuying's question, they were stunned at first, then they looked at each other and a look of joy appeared on their faces.

Xiuying went on to say, "You can exchange them. After the second season's sweet potatoes are harvested, you can give me 10%." She explained patiently, her tone sincere and firm.

Mrs. Sun excitedly grabbed Xiuying's hand and said in a trembling voice, "Xiuying, you are such a kind person! This offer is so good, how could we not agree?"

Being able to exchange is the best thing right now, not to mention that we don’t even know whether we can grow sweet potatoes in the second season, but Xiuying has offered such good conditions, which is obviously helping everyone.

Aunt Li also nodded repeatedly and said, "That's right, Xiuying, you have helped us a lot. We will definitely raise these piglets well and will never let your kindness down!" Her face was flushed with gratitude and excitement.

Although life is much better now, they still have to tighten their belts to pay for piglets.

Xiuying looked at the excited and grateful expressions of Mrs. Sun and Aunt Li, a warm smile spread across her face, and she said, "Okay, Mrs. Sun, Aunt Li, then it's settled.

I'd also like you to tell the rest of the village that anyone interested in raising piglets can register with me. However, there are only sixteen piglets, and each household can only exchange for one. Excluding the two of you, there are fourteen spots left. Each one must be exchanged for 10% of the second season's sweet potato harvest." Her voice was clear and resonant, her eyes brimming with sincerity and determination.

Mrs. Sun nodded hurriedly and patted her chest to assure him, "Don't worry, Sister Xiuying, we'll tell everyone when we get back and make sure everyone gets the message."

Aunt Li also responded: "Yes, yes, such a good thing must be let everyone know." Her face was full of smiles, as if she had already seen the lively scene of every household in the village raising piglets.

Xiuying had just seen off Mrs. Sun and Aunt Li, and before she had time to sit down and have a sip of water, she returned to her room and heard a rapid knock on the door. The knocks were so loud, "bang bang bang", that it seemed as if they were going to break the door down.

Taohua walked quickly to the door, and just as she opened it, three cunning-looking old women rushed in like crazy. They all had fierce looks on their faces.
