Chapter 144: Understanding

Editor: Atlas Studios

After sending Qi Haoran and Fan Zijin away, Shu Wanniang finally had the time to ask her daughter, “What did Young Master Fan mean by working together just now?”

Mu Yangling told him about Fan Zijin’s plan to sell the rabbits to the south. “He might smoke the rabbits into jerky or turn them into rabbit meat cubes to transport to the south. He needs a lot of rabbits, so I’ll be in charge of breeding them.”

Shu Wanniang frowned. “Ah Ling, there are only so many people in our family now. How are we capable of doing this? Besides, no one has raised multiple rabbits before. Are you sure you can raise them?”

“It’s easy to raise herds of wild rabbits. Don’t we still have more than 60 acres of low-grade land to the east of our house? Let’s raise the rabbits there. I’ll discuss with the two of them later and see if we can buy seeds of grass from the Hu people in the north.” Mu Yangling chuckled. “I don’t know how to plant wheat, but surely I can plant grass?”

Shu Wanniang’s eyes widened. “Do we still need to plant grass? Aren’t there plenty on the edge of the fields, in the mountains, and by the river?”

“There is, but it’s not enough to feed the rabbits. Moreover, we have to cut it ourselves. You conceded that there aren’t so many people at home. Later, I’ll get someone to dig a ditch around the 60 acres of land before fencing it up with a net. The rabbits can only stay inside obediently. I’ll try my best to ensure their food supply.”

Listening from the side, Xiuhong hurriedly promised, “Aunt, we can also help Cousin. Sister and I can do things like mowing grass.”

Mu Yangling nodded. “Farming will be less busy in two months. When the children in the village are free, I can invite them to cut the grass. Mother, don’t worry. If the rabbits end up dying, we can always skin them and eat them. In any case, we won’t lose out.”

Shu Wanniang was stunned. “Don’t you need to buy baby rabbits to raise rabbits?”

“Where can we find so many little rabbits to buy? We’re just going to catch them from the mountains. I’ve already discussed it with Qi Haoran. When the time comes, I’ll take 20%. He’ll take 10% and Fan Zijin will take 70%.” Mu Yangling continued after a pause, “Since our family doesn’t have money now, I’ll have to ask Fan Zijin for money to buy grass seeds. He has to provide the grass seeds for the first year no matter what.”

Shu Wanniang looked at her daughter in a daze and couldn’t find any objections. After a while, she said, “Then other than grass seeds, this business doesn’t require any other capital.”

“Isn’t that so? Otherwise, I wouldn’t have taken the risk. The most important thing is to capture the rabbits in the mountains. Only then will our crops in the south be safe.” Mu Yangling didn’t have much confidence in the rabbit trade. Even if Fan Zijin and Qi Haoran were very confident, her main aim was still to rescue her own crops.
