Her Cultivation Diary

Chapter 2155: Chapter 1837: Baby’s Mommy

The little girl spoke earnestly, repeatedly emphasizing:

"Baby’s mom is very angry."

Everyone listened seriously too.

Although no one had professional training, they managed to hold back their laughter. When they couldn’t help it, they turned their heads away.

Song Tan also suppressed a smile, cleared her throat, and after completing a series of actions, she asked seriously:

"So is baby’s mom upset that the big goose looks down on you, or angry that her goose got pecked?"

The little girl paused.

She’s, she’s angry about both!

But!

The little girl put on a serious face and said, "It’s not about me being angry right now, it’s about our baby being bullied."

"You, you have to make that mean goose apologize! And educate her!"

Song Tan nodded repeatedly, then suddenly smiled:

"That sounds like a great deal!"

Huh?

The little girl stared with wide eyes, looking at her in confusion.

But the pretty lady in front of her just said like a devil: "Beat your baby up good, and after that, just apologize with words. Such a deal!"

"Then if you hit again next time, just apologizing will be fine?"

The little girl’s eyes widened even more, her cheeks flushed, and her small chubby fists clenched tightly before she stomped her foot hard:

"No! You can’t! You, you!"

She didn’t know what to say to deal with the mean-spirited adult, so she could only turn her head for help: "Grandma, she’s so mean! What do we do?"

Liu Baoni was trying hard not to laugh, and when she heard this, she agreed:

"Yes, yes, she’s so mean, what should we do?"

The problem was pushed back like a ball.

The little girl kept a straight face, then racked her brains, scrunching up her features.

Wu Lan couldn’t bear to watch: the little girl was so clever and understanding, so well-behaved!

So she said to Song Tan, "Why are you bullying the child?"

Song Tan lifted the corners of her mouth: "I want her to understand how malicious adults can be..."

That adult was indeed quite malicious, saying something that overloaded the little girl’s CPU, leaving her standing there dazed for a long time, and in the end, she only emphasized once more:

"Well, that vicious goose should apologize first!"

Alright, teasing the child on a rainy day, nothing else to do anyway.

Song Tan immediately made a video call to Chen Xi in front of her.

It was raining, and the work up on the mountain was neither pleasant to watch nor to do. Riverside Beach Ranch had switched entirely to indoor work.

Previously, to keep the cows and sheep clean at the riverside, someone had to go shovel manure every few hours.

But in spring and summer, there was no need to worry about feed; at most, they’d add an extra meal every few days to maintain balanced nutrition.

Now it’s different, though they don’t have to shovel manure, the cow and sheep pens need more frequent cleaning.

With large-scale farming, the livestock can’t eat dewy fodder, so their meals are indoors too.

They were used to being free, so the sheep bleated anxiously, and the cows mooed in distress, while the pigs were quite content—

Big Pearl’s four chubby legs supported her plump, round body, not an easy task.

Previously, to attract visitors, she’d walk around the village once or twice a day. Now, she’d just eat her fill and lounge in the pigpen, very pleased.

If Qiaoqiao were here, she’d find time to use a shoe brush to brush Dahuang’s back and then do the same for Big Pearl.

Big Pearl would snort happily, her pink nose moist and shiny, feeling utterly comfortable.

With Qiaoqiao not around now, and Chen Xi busy sorting fodder, Big Pearl took a couple of bites from the pig feed trough and then gloomily ran back to lie down.

And as Song Tan’s call came, Chen Xi was arranging for Tie Lian and the others to clean out the ventilation fans in the cowshed.

"Boss."

On the screen was a dark-skinned, sweaty young man, and Liu Baoni and her granddaughter were earnestly watching the video as Song Tan asked:

"Where’s Big White?"

She explained to those around her: "Our goose is called Big White."

The little girl pursed her lips; she clearly still remembered the frightening words of the malicious adult before, just snorting:

"Not as nice-sounding as our baby’s name."

"How could that be? Big White’s name is much nicer; our pets have heritage. There’s Big White, Dabao, Da Wang, Big Pearl, Da Hong..."

What seems so common can turn out quite sophisticated after listening for a while.

Chen Xi didn’t see the short little girl, only sensed that Song Tan seemed to be talking to someone else. He thought for a moment:

"Big White should be in the river now. When it rains heavily, only she and the ducks are happy, splashing around excitedly out the door early in the morning."

Meanwhile, the chickens, also poultry, were still pecking around in the pen, clucking, either laying eggs or scratching the ground.

Thankfully, the chicken coop had a thick fermentation bed laid out, with no lingering smell, so there wasn’t a rush to clean it right away.

Chen Xi then asked, "Need me to call her back? Should I grab a loudspeaker and call a couple of times?"

Song Tan let the little girl lean her face closer to the camera: "It’s no big deal, but someone said Big White bullied her goose, do you know about this?"

Chen Xi: ...

He had a knowing expression: "I didn’t think it was a big deal, so I didn’t mention it to you right away."

Indeed, it wasn’t a big deal.

Early today, after alternating breakfast at the canteen, he had just turned towards the lotus pond when he saw a strange goose stretching its neck to peck at the lotus leaves, unsure whether it wanted a bite or was just playing around.

It was raining, and the big lotus leaf gathered a clear pool of water. As the goose pecked it, the leaf tore, and the stem wobbled side to side.

The water in the center spilled like mercury, splashing down on top of the goose.

Chen Xi: ... A person can’t photograph with just their eyes; the phone’s evolution lagged behind. He hadn’t even opened it yet.

He didn’t know whose goose it was in the village; it looked quite young, probably newly raised.

Though the riverside was rented out, if they blatantly prevented even a single duck or goose from coming over, it’d look quite bad.

So he left it alone.

Little did he expect that ignoring it, while he mixed the fodder, the honking of geese erupted through the rain.

When Chen Xi went to check:

Oh well, Goose Sister hadn’t even stepped in, just stood with a bunch of ducks watching quietly.

And Big White?

One flap of her wings, and her size and weight could press the young goose so it couldn’t lift its head, not to mention her sharp beak—

It had seen its fair share of battles.

Now she pecked once harshly, then again. The young newcomer had no leeway to fight back, and within moments, it was pecked three to five times, its feathers pulled off.

Chen Xi watched, feeling both sorry and amused.

But at that moment, there were still animals waiting for feed, so he didn’t intervene much, only advising:

"Big White, take it easy, don’t injure the young goose too badly, or we might have to compensate its family."

He knew Big White understood.

In fact, as soon as he said that, Big White calmed down. After that...

"Then I didn’t see that goose again."

Now, he hurriedly recounted the event and didn’t forget to ask:

"That young goose should be fine, right?"

Big White’s pecks, whether on people or geese, were controlled, at most causing minor distress and nothing further.

"That young goose—" Song Tan dragged out the words as she walked a couple of steps into the corridor.

The camera panned to reveal a scraggly, disheveled young goose, its feathers in patches, shrunk at the base of the wall, gazing dazedly at the rain, neck shrunk, looking utterly pitiful.

Chen Xi: ...

But despite its pitiful state, scolding Big White seemed a bit much for Chen Xi.

"We can’t fully blame our Big White!"

"We rent such a large stretch of Riverside Beach and an expansive hill, costing us quite a lot. Boss Chang said he’d even buy dry lotus leaves at a good price later, so we must ensure we pick quality ones, not letting geese damage them."

You see, the unfamiliar young goose, coming uninvited, persists in entering our place. This is Big White’s territory, driving it away to guard the yard, is that really wrong?

In short, Chen Xi was unconvinced.

But his next instant, what appeared was a wide-eyed, cherubic little girl, her face as round and white as her eyes.

Her eyes slightly red, she was sweetly pitiful and utterly cute:

"But, but my baby didn’t know!"
