Fang Xiaoshan looked at his uncle and aunt's house, now finally his new home, and felt delighted. On a whim, he secretly took twenty yuan from Fang Jiansheng's cabinet and went out to gamble again, reasoning that even without him at home, his wedding would still be arranged properly.
Meanwhile, Bai Xiao had all his luggage ready, planning to leave for school a week early. Now, he still had about ten days to stay at home, but something serious had happened to his family.
Early that morning, Li Haiping ran into the house in a panic, "Mom, Auntie, the pigs... the pigs in the pigsty are not well."
Startled, Bai Yue quickly slipped on her shoes and rushed towards the pigsty.
Bai Xiao followed closely behind.
Upon arriving at the pigsty, they were both stunned. The five small pigs in the pen were now all lying askew, motionless, and whimpering; it seemed they were not going to make it.
Bai Yue was terrified; these pigs were their family's entire livelihood.
