"But no matter how big the chicken coop might be, it couldn’t possibly accommodate the family of five," she imdiately walked over and refused.
"No, you can’t go in there. It’s injured, so for now, let it stay here. You all can’t co in, go away. When it gets better, I will let it go."
But the Sheep Mother wouldn’t leave, and naturally, the lamb babies wouldn’t either. With the family of four bleating at her, her head started to hurt.
Suddenly, she regretted saving them.
Liang Tian, however, said with a smile, "Are you silly? Just raise them. You can sell sheep milk for money. If you raise these sheep, you won’t feel burdened when you eat them."
Xiao Yu’s mouth twitched, "Isn’t that too cruel? They’re a family!"
Liang Tian looked at her with disdain, "Oh please, as if the fish you caught don’t have families?"
"How can you compare them? Look at this scene of the Sheep Mother bringing her children for refuge, it’s filled with humanity. I can’t bear to kill them."
"You play the Holy Mother then. If you don’t kill them, just raise them."
Xiao Yu shook her head, "I won’t raise them. It’s too much trouble. My vegetables are for selling, not for them to eat. Five sheep would eat a lot; it’s just too much hassle to raise them. I’d have to bother building them a nest. Just thinking about it gives a headache. And, I hate the taste of sheep milk; it’s too strong. That’s the main point. So, they better not think about freeload off ."
Therefore, Xiao Yu entered the chicken coop, picked up the stubborn lamb that was as immovable as Mount Tai, and placed it outside their house. The mother sheep clearly hadn’t expected her to do that, and even less so that she would actually use a bamboo pole to drive them away. Well, it looked like her hopes of freeloading a al were dashed.
After she drove the family of five out of her yard, she locked the garden gate and glared at them, "Get going, I have no interest in keeping idle sheep!"
She went out to sea in the morning and dug up three buckets of green mussels, but this ti all were sold to the "space." Her hands were tired, so she needed a break, felt a bit hungry.
She picked four or five tender ears of corn from the garden, cooked them in a pot when she got back ho, enjoyed the delicious corn on the cob, drank so sweet tea, and that was Noon’s al sorted. Then, she comfortably lay down for a nap.
When she woke up, she heard the strong wind blowing and hurried to bring her drying things indoors, but when she glanced outside inadvertently, well, those five sheep were still stubbornly lying at her doorstep. She stared in disbelief.
"Are you kidding ? Is the allure of that grass really so great? You’re dragging your family along to hang around here?"
Seeing that it was about to pour rain, Xiao Yu felt a bit of pity and had no choice but to go over, open the gate, and usher the family of five into the chicken coop. As soon as the five sheep entered, the chickens in the coop were imdiately frightened and huddled together in the corner, looking very pitiful.
She sighed deeply, "Looks like my plan to be lazy has fallen through; fine, I’ll build them a shelter tomorrow."
But before building the shelter, she would need to make bricks, and without three to five days, that shelter wouldn’t be up.
"You could set up a tent temporarily and then herd them into it."
Liang Tian’s suggestion made Xiao Yu reject it outright, "Forget it, that tent would be usable after they’ve stayed in it? I don’t want to clean up. That’s way too much hassle. For now, these chickens will just have to suffer a bit. If they want to stay, they stay. But I won’t feed them anything good, as for the grass..."
One al a day shouldn’t be too wasteful, oh?
Liang Tian in the "space" chuckled, "Sharp-tongued but softhearted, huh? Look, in the end, you’re still going to feed them, aren’t you?"
