Chapter 898 Asking for Help
When Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao heard that Liu Jingxue needed their help with something, they immediately stopped what they were doing.
"Xiaoxue, if you need our help with anything, just tell us."
"I'm just too bored. I saw that Uncle Ji's dog Heizi is well taken care of and very human-like, so I wanted to raise a dog as a pet.
But I don’t know anyone, so I wanted to ask you and the captain for help to see if you can find a dog for me.
It’s best to have a puppy, so you can raise it from a young age until it grows up and becomes familiar with it.” Liu Jingxue said embarrassedly.
When Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao heard this, they quickly filtered through their minds the people they knew who kept dogs.
Not to mention, among the people they know, there are actually a few families that keep dogs.
Although food was scarce in those days, the two had developed a lot of connections in the town in the past two years, and most of them had some status and power.
Families like this will find ways to get food even if there is a food shortage.
It is still affordable to keep a dog as a pet or to guard the house.
"Xiaoxue, what do you want for the dog?" Zhao Junhao asked.
The dog breeds that they knew were not the same, so naturally they had to ask Liu Jingxue about her needs first.
Tuanzi shouted in Liu Jingxue's mind, "I want to be tall and mighty when I grow up."
It was worried that if it was a cute type, after it was brought back, the children in the village would see it and come to play with it.
It doesn't want to play with naughty kids. It would rather have a ferocious one to scare them away and stop them from surrounding it.
Although she didn't know why Tuanzi had this request, Liu Jingxue still followed suit and told the two of them about her request.
“Since the dog is to guard the house and go into the mountains to hunt when it grows up, it can also help like Heizi, so it naturally needs to be tall and mighty.
Anyway, I am the only one in my family, I can control it, and I don’t have to worry about it hurting anyone.”
However, Liu Jingxue felt that if the dog wanted a tall and mighty one, the dog that the captain could find might not meet Tuanzi's requirements.
After all, what he could get was most likely an ordinary local dog, commonly known as the Chinese native dog, not a tall and mighty one.
"Tall and mighty ones," Zhao Junhao said to himself, "those are wolfhounds, Tibetan mastiffs, and sheepdogs.
I'm afraid there are no sheepdogs, as they are more common in Western Xinjiang and Neimenggu.
In Cangzhou, there should still be wolfhounds and Tibetan mastiffs."
He looked at Zhou Mingxuan, "Mingxuan, do we know anyone who raises wolfhounds or Tibetan mastiffs?
It has to be a female dog, otherwise it can't bear pups."
Zhou Mingxuan thought for a moment and said, "Yes, I do, but I don't know when I will get pregnant.
Some of them are not in Linshan Town, but in the capital. However, it only takes one night's train from the capital, so it is not a big deal for him to make a trip to deliver them.
It would be even better if someone here could take care of it.”
When Liu Jingxue heard this, she didn't expect that the two people actually knew people who raised wolfhounds and Tibetan mastiffs.
Originally, she planned to just get any dog, but Tuanzi had requirements, and as a good owner, she naturally had to satisfy them.
She said quickly, "If you ask someone to deliver it, I will pay for the travel expenses, lost wages, and errand fees."
Zhou Mingxuan shook his head, "It doesn't cost much to ask someone to make a trip, those are just small matters.
It would be best if there was someone here raising these two kinds of dogs, and it happened to be a female dog, so that it would save a lot of trouble when she was pregnant.
Please wait a few days, we will ask someone to see if there is anyone pregnant.
If there is, we will definitely get you one."
"Yes, Xiaoxue, don't worry about this matter, we two brothers will take care of it.
We will definitely get you a wolf-dog or Tibetan mastiff puppy.
It’s just that the time may be hard to determine.” Zhao Junhao promised.
Zhou Mingxuan asked, "Xiaoxue, you just said that you would ask the captain to find it. You haven't told him about this yet, right?"
Liu Jingxue shook her head. "I had planned to tell him after the holidays, but I didn't think of it at the moment, so I haven't told him yet."
“You don’t need to talk to him about that. These two kinds of dogs are more difficult to raise. Most people can’t afford them, nor do they dare to raise them.
Just wait for us to get it for you."
Liu Jingxue did not object. She also felt that it would be impossible to get it from the captain, so she did not tell him to save him from worrying.
"Then I won't go looking for him."
"Xiaoxue, you just said you wanted our help with two things.
Besides helping you find the dog, what else can I do for you?" Zhao Junhao asked curiously.
There was another thing that Liu Jingxue was actually a little embarrassed to talk about.
The matter was discovered by Liu Jianguo and Liu Jianjun. If they had followed their previous intention to report the case to the police and have the person handed over to them for handling, I could have stopped them. After some persuasion, I made them give up the idea.
It was also my brother and sister who suggested giving the two girls to others to raise and letting them leave the family.
But in the end, the task of finding a supporter for the two girls fell on the shoulders of the brigade cadres.
Now these two people are dragged into this as well.
But the three siblings didn't know anyone here and couldn't help much.
Thinking of the two poor girls, no matter how embarrassed Liu Jingxue was, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and tell the story.
Liu Jingxue lowered her head, kicked the ground unconsciously with her right foot, and said embarrassedly,
"It's been more than 20 days since the incident, almost a month, and I haven't heard the team leader come over to say that he has found a supporter for the two girls.
I thought you knew a lot of people, could you help find some servants?
The two girls are really too pitiful. Even if the captain and his men stop Wang Dana and his family from selling them this time, they will probably not be able to escape the fate of being sold in the future."
Liu Jingxue didn't want to force them to agree, so she quickly said, "If you are embarrassed, just pretend I didn't say anything and let the captain and the others worry about it.
This is not such a good thing after all.”
After Liu Jingxue finished speaking, she stopped talking and let the two of them think about whether to agree to this matter.
After listening to Liu Jingxue's words with a frown on his face, Zhao Junhao said angrily,
“Is Wang Dana’s family sick? Selling their own daughters once was not enough, and now they want to sell them again.
If you didn't want them, why did you give birth to them in the first place?
After giving birth, they didn’t take good care of the child. "
Zhou Mingxuan sneered, "I think it was because she was pregnant with a boy that she gave birth to the baby.
I had only heard from other people before that there was a serious preference for boys over girls in the countryside, but I had never encountered it personally before.
Today I have learned a lot. How can there be such vicious biological parents and grandmothers? "
Liu Jingxue couldn't help but say, "Then you haven't seen anyone more vicious.
I have heard people say that there are also newborn babies who, because they are girls, are drowned, strangled, or thrown into the mountains to feed wolves by their biological parents or grandparents. "
In fact, what Liu Jingxue couldn't understand was that they always said to drown him in a urine bucket. Wouldn't water be enough? Why did it have to be a urine bucket?
"Mingxuan, I think we need to help.
It is better to help those two children find a good family to raise them than to let them be sold by their unscrupulous relatives one day.
God knows who they will sell the two children to and where they will be sold to for money." Zhao Junhao said.
Zhou Mingxuan also nodded, "You are right.
I guess the captain will come to us later and talk to us about this.
Didn’t Xiaoxue just say that there has been no news from them, so things probably aren’t going smoothly.
He knows we have a lot of connections in town, so he might come knocking on our door.”
"When the time comes, we will accept this matter and regard it as a good deed."
