Farming Space Makes Me Rich-Chapter 97 - A Touching Moment

Chapter 97: A Touching Moment

The three were conflicted as they looked at their rejected tomatoes. The calf wouldn’t eat their tomatoes, and they couldn’t throw them away. So who would eat them? They were devastated.

Ning Weiyi suddenly exclaimed, “Wait… Is the calf rolling his eyes at us? Did you see that?” Apart from Xiao Lingyu, everyone turned towards Little Light.

“You’re right. The calf is rolling his eyes in disdain!” Yang Baolin gasped, “Is he some kind of magical creature?”

Kang Le laughed, “Are we in some kind of wuxia world?” Then, he turned to Xiao Lingyu and praised, “Sis, Little Light is so clever!”

Xiao Xiaohui and the other kids had been following them. At that moment, Xiao Xiaohui piped up, “That is nothing. Little Light is a hero who saved his mother. He is a genius!”

The three students were intrigued. “Little Loach, come and tell big brothers what happened.”

Xiao Xiaohui said proudly, “A few days ago when eldest cousin was on her way back from town, Little Light rushed out of the crowd and ran towards eldest cousin. He looked at eldest cousin with tears in his eyes. Little Light’s original master came over. After doing some asking around, eldest sister found out Big Light was about to be slaughtered. Therefore, eldest sister bought Little and Big Light on the spot.”

Xiao Lingye and his friends were amazed.

“Little Light is really intelligent.” Kang Le was impressed. “He cried to get Sis’s help. This is the first time I’ve heard about something like that.”

“This is also the first time I heard a cow knowing how to cry.” Ning Weiyi exclaimed. He looked at Little Light. “How old is Little Light? At his age, he’s already more loyal and filial than most people!”

“That’s right!” The others concurred.

Yang Baolin lamented, “It feels like we humans are no better than cows.” Even a cow knew to do everything to save his mother, what about humans?

The four students sighed.

Ning Weiyi looked at his eaten tomato. He showed it to Little Light and coaxed, “Little Light, I’ve only taken one bite. Don’t worry. I’m very healthy. Please eat this for me!”

Little Light turned to look at Ning Weiyi with his big eyes as if it was considering what he said.

He stuck out his tongue to lick the tomato in Ning Weiyi’s hand. “Gulp!” The tomato disappeared into Little Light’s mouth. His friends saw this and quickly mimicked him. “Little Light, we have tomatoes for you too. We’re perfectly healthy as well.”

Little Light looked at their tomatoes and then the tomatoes in Xiao Lingyu’s basket. After some hesitation, he stretched out his tongue and rolled all the tomatoes into his mouth. Little Light gobbled up the tomatoes. Then, he turned his eyes to Xiao Lingyu and her basket. Xiao Lingyu took a tomato out. Little Light rolled his tongue around it and put it in his mouth.

However, he didn’t swallow it. Instead, he turned around to the old cow lying on the ground. He mooed at his mother. The old cow mooed back in response. Then she stuck out her tongue to take the tomato offered by Little Light.

Everyone present was amazed. Little Light was too intelligent and filial. He knew to share the tomatoes with his mother. Everyone was moved when they saw this.

The old cow was aged. After giving birth to Little Light, she fell ill and weakened. At the end of her life, she was sent to the slaughterhouse. Thankfully, she was saved before she became sliced beef. The one who saved her was her son, Little Light.

After Xiao Lingyu saved the two cattle, she had been feeding them the spring water. Big Light’s conditions had improved greatly. She was no longer so weak. However, the only thing unchanged was her maternal love for Little Light.

She would let Little Light enjoy everything first. She would only eat with Little Light’s urging. This was how the crowd got to enjoy the scene where Little Light fed her the tomatoes.

Xiao Lingyu gave Little Light more tomatoes, and he gave them to his mother. Xiao Lingyu looked at her basket, and there were only half of the tomatoes left. She told Little Light, “You’ve eaten half of the tomatoes. You’ll get the other half tomorrow!”

Little Light’s eyes were transfixed to Xiao Lingyu’s basket. He clearly wanted to have more.

Ning Weiyi couldn’t bear to see this. “Sis, why don’t you let Little Light have the whole basket? If it’s not enough, we’ll buy more from Uncle Chen. Don’t worry. We’ll pay.” Kang Le and Yang Baolin nodded in agreement. “Yes, let Little Light finish the tomatoes, and we’ll go buy more.”

Xiao Lingye slapped the back of their heads and said, “What are you guys talking about? Do you think that my sister is worried about the money?”

The three of them rubbed the back of their heads and looked at Xiao Lingye in confusion.

Xiao Lingye explained, “Even though Little and Big Light are cattle, they are like humans too. They can’t have too many things at once, or they’ll suffer a painful stomach. Little and Big Light have eaten about eight tomatoes, so they shouldn’t have anymore. You people are born with silver spoons, so you naturally don’t know these things!”

The three said innocently, “We’re sorry. We didn’t know.”

Kang Le patted Little Light’s head and comforted him. “Little Light, you can’t eat any more today, or your stomach can’t handle it. We’ll come back to feed you again tomorrow, okay?”

They thought they wouldn’t get a response, but Little Light nodded. He also mooed at them.

Kang Le was so touched his eyes were red.

Then, the group left Xiao Mingyang’s cow pen.

Before they left, Ning Weiyi told Xiao Xiaohui, “Little Louch, I’ll go herd the cows with you this afternoon, okay?”

Xiao Xiaohui looked guarded. His bright eyes were full of wariness as he asked, “What… what are you planning?”

Ning Weiyi was speechless. He rubbed the kid’s forehead and said, “I’m only trying to help you. After all, you allowed Little Light to eat someone’s crops when you were supposed to look after him.”

Ning Weiyi was Xiao Lingye’s guest, and he caught Xiao Xiaohui’s weakness. Xiao Xiaohui sighed, “Fine!”
