"Indeed, Lin Yi deserves the most credit. Since he came, our show’s ratings have skyrocketed, more than doubling. If it keeps growing at this rate, we’ll be able to stand tall and proud in the future."
"Keep up the good work. Maybe our show will bee a hit someday."
"Exactly." Ma Jun patted Lin Yi on the shoulder. "You’ve got the talent; you’ll at least bee a director in the future."
"Haha, I’ll take your word for it. If I bee the head producer, I’ll treat you all to a meal."
"Sounds good."
The car drove for over two hours, and the group arrived at Siling Village.
The road leading into the village was a dirt path, bumpy in places, hard to pass another vehicle. It took over twenty minutes to cover nearly two kilometers.
The smell of animal excrement was present outside the vehicle, but it was bearable.
Following Zhou Li’s directions, the car stopped in front of a large gate of a household.
The gate was iron, with a courtyard wall as large as half a basketball court. Inside were a dozen cows, and the smell was rather pungent.
"Get out of the car, this should be the place."
Ma Jun glanced outside, "With so many cows, their family must be well-off, worth hundreds of thousands."
"Every household in this village raises cows for a living. While it may not seem prestigious, their ine is substantial, maybe even more than city folks," Zhou Li said.
"In that case, a good veterinarian is particularly important," Lin Yi mented.
"I’m curious, with every house raising cows, how e this hasn’t happened before?" Ma Jun asked.
"I don’t know, let’s go in and see."
After getting out of the car, Ma Jun picked up the camera and started filming.
Meanwhile, people inside the house saw the car stop and came outside, looking inquisitively.
"The informant is named Pan Yongbing, the other person should be his wife," Zhou Li whispered.
Lin Yi nodded, holding the microphone, and walked over first.
"Hello, we are journalists from the TV station."
Once they heard they were journalists, the couple’s guarded expressions disappeared.
"Journalist, you’re finally here. We’ve been waiting for you all morning. Let’s talk inside."
"Alright."
The group was led inside, and the couple’s faces were filled with worry.
"Can you tell us what happened in detail?"
"Last week, our cow was about to give birth, so we called Mao Hai Long. There were some plications during birth, and he said he needed to give the cow medicine. I refused, but he insisted. After the medicine was administered, our cow died shortly after, and the calf wasn’t born, which caused us a loss of several tens of thousands."
As she spoke, Pan Yongbing’s wife was in tears.
Such an amount is significant money for anyone.
"Is the Mao Hai Long you mentioned the village veterinarian?"
"Yes, he’s the vet for this and nearby villages."
"What is it that you’re asking for now?" Lin Yi asked.
"We just want him to pensate for our loss, nothing more."
As Pan Yongbing spoke, everyone else was also weighing the situation in their minds.
If things are as they seem, the responsibility isn’t entirely on Mao Hai Long.
After all, birthing is inherently risky. Asking Mao Hai Long to bear all the loss seems unreasonable.
"Have you considered that birthing involves risks, and you cannot place all the blame on Mao Hai Long? You should also bear some of the risk."
"Journalist, listen to me, we are reasonable people. If the cow died under normal circumstances, we wouldn’t ask for pensation since we invited him. But he did things improperly. Normally, the cow wouldn’t have died."
Pan Yongbing lit a cigarette, "I’m not exaggerating; normally, I could handle the birth myself, but this was rare—having twins. I hadn’t dealt with that, so we called him. Didn’t expect this oute."
Lin Yi recalled what Pan Yongbing said, pinpointing an issue with the medication use.
"So your concern lies with the inappropriate use of medication?"
"Yes, I’ve heard on the news that such drugs are now banned. He said it’s fine and used six vials at once."
"Six vials!"
Having been at Happiness Village and assisted with pig births, based on Pan Yongbing’s words, Lin Yi guessed the type of drug used.
It was likely Chloroprostaglandin.
This drug is indeed banned by the state, although in special cases, a small amount is allowed.
But the maximum dosage should not exceed two vials; using six vials, as Mao Hai Long did, was certainly problematic.
Even a dinosaur couldn’t handle such a large dosage.
"Do you know what medication was used?"
"Yes, I kept the bottles."
Pan Yongbing stood, walked to a cabinet, and brought out a white plastic bag containing large ampoule bottles.
"This is the medication."
Lin Yi looked at them, and as expected, it was Chloroprostaglandin.
Now Lin Yi had formed a judgment on the matter.
Though it seems harsh to place all the blame on Mao Hai Long, after all, they sought him out, he should bear at least 90% of the responsibility.
His violation of regulations was severe enough to justify revoking his veterinary license.
"Did you municate with Mao Hai Long afterward? What did he say?"
"With the cow and calf dead, we lost at least 45,000 dollars. I wasn’t asking for more, only around 40,000 yuan in pensation, but he refused. Yesterday, when I went to ask him for money, he even beat me up."
As he spoke, Pan Yongbing rolled up his sleeves and pant legs, showing multiple bruises.
Everyone frowned; such behavior was outrageous.
"Just from his series of actions, it’s evident his methods are lacking. Has this happened before?" Lin Yi asked.
"It wasn’t him before. After Old Ma left, he came. He’s only been here a little over a month, and being a college graduate, we thought he’d be petent. We didn’t expect this."
"Was the Old Ma you mentioned also a veterinarian?"
"Yes, he was our village’s experienced vet, with remarkable skills. But he probably had health issues and stopped working, then Mao Hai Long took over," Pan Yongbing explained:
"I heard other households also had problems with him treating their cows, though not as severe. I didn’t expect to encounter such a mess, haven’t slept well for days."
