Chapter 581: Dangling carrots
Yu Dong did not care that Ah Cy was upset with her, what she said was absolutely right. When the flood came all the livestock that the villagers were raising were either killed or drowned, the ones that were swept away were not dangerous but the ones that were drowned were indeed a danger to the village.
After being in the water for so long this livestock might have already gone bad but because they still looked edible to some who did not have anything saved, there was a chance that the villagers would still eat them. In case they were to eat those chickens and pigs then the chances of an epidemic breaking out will get even higher.
If she wasn't staying in the village, she would not have cared about these villagers who were always trying to take advantage of her but she had to stay in the village until things in town get normal, after such a heavy flood the situation in the town would be even worse than in the village. For the time being, staying in the village was the smarter choice which was Yu Dong have to make sure that things do not go out of control.
With Feng Chi being pregnant it would be really troublesome in case there was an outbreak of diseases in this village, which was why she walked over to the corner and then asked for Village head Gu to come and talk to her.
Village head Gu did not dare to show any arrogance in front of Yu Dong at the moment, she knew that the way Yu Dong handled things was much better than hers, given how Yu Dong was able to deal with the flood and even save the villagers, Village head Gu no longer dared to show her arrogance as the village head in front of Yu Dong.
So, when Yu Dong called her, Village head Gu sighed and then walked over to where Yu Dong was waiting for her.
" Is there something that I need to take care of?" Village head Gu asked while looking at Yu Dong politely. Her tone was not the same as it used to be before and one could see that she was lowering herself in front of Yu Dong, this could not be blamed on the village head Gu's head, after all, there was just one time she ignored Yu Dong's words and just a few months later she found out a pile of corpses and the entire village was flooded, who knows what will happen to her if she was to ignore Yu Dong for the third time?
Maybe there will be a chance that the entire village will be destroyed!
After going through so much Village head Gu was now scared to the point where she did not even dare to utter the 'W' of the west if Yu Dong was to say, ' East.'
" I wanted to let you know that you should ask the villagers to throw these bodies of their livestock to a faraway place and make sure that they do not cook or eat them behind anyone's back, because if they eat them then there is a chance that they will end up catching a life-threatening disease if that happens what will you do?" Yu Dong has seen such things happen in the apocalypse, and when she thought about the dire situations she has seen never be treated lightly which was why she was telling the village head Gu to be careful from the very start.
" She is right," even though Wu Junfen could be considered half baked physician who has learned the skills from her grandmother, she was still considered just as reliable as the village's doctor, after all, Wu Junfen's grandmother was a great physician of Chinese medicine if not the Wu family would have never gotten the position of elders in the village. " If the villagers eat those dead animals that have stayed in the water for so long then there is a chance that an epidemic will break, for the time being, stop them from eating these dead chickens and pigs."
When Village head Gu heard that there could be an outbreak of disease she was terrified, she immediately nodded but then she paused and asked, " But what if they still do not listen?"
" Then have them thrown out of the village," Yu Dong shrugged her shoulders despite saying something so ruthless. However, this concerned the security and safety of her husbands especially Fang Chi who was carrying a child, if she was to treat this matter lightly then the one who will have to suffer will be her and her family.
Which was why she did not even think twice before giving out such a stern warning. " Better warn them that if they eat these dead chickens and pigs then they better be prepared to get sick, and in case they fall sick with symptoms like high fever, nausea and coughing then they will be thrown out of the village. No one will be spared because if we do then the next one who will have to suffer will be us because a disease caused by the epidemic is usually contagious."
But she knew that when she thought about how Village head Gu was a woman who did not seem to handle things well if there was not a carrot dangling in front of her she added, " If you deal with this matter carefully then maybe the magistrate might reward you for your hard work as well."
Village head Gu's eyes widened in shock and then she understood the seriousness of the situation if she was to really allow something like this to happen then the one who will suffer would be her but in case if she was to deal with this matter correctly then she might even get rewarded by the officials!
At the thought of being rewarded by the magistrate for keeping her villagers safe, village head Gu's eyes were shining with hope.
She immediately nodded and said to Yu Dong, " I will make sure that no one eats even a strand of those pigs and chicken!
