Determined to raise cattle to pay off gambling debts, he embarked on the road to becoming rich.

Just after the Spring Festival in 2016, 45-year-old long Chuang took his wife to the opposite mountain not far from home to raise cattle and embarked on the road to get rich.

Chasing dreams turns into a "prodigal son"

In August 1996, long Chuang, who graduated from primary school, came to Guangdong to work with his friends from the same village with the dream of working to become rich. Because of his low level of education and lack of skills, he had to do some hard work in the factory. I have to work more than 10 hours a day. Once, due to excessive fatigue, he accidentally broke his right thumb by a machine. after being disabled, he could no longer stay in the original factory to work.

After returning to his hometown, in order to solve the problems of daily life, long Chuang had to take odd jobs everywhere in the county when he was at leisure. During that time, he was so empty that he could not stand the temptation of his fellow workers and got into the bad habit of gambling. Not only did he not earn any money, but also owed a lot of debt.

The prodigal son raises cattle

The matter of selling cattle to pay for gambling debts became a worry that he could not raise his head to face his family. he secretly vowed to work to earn money and buy back a few cattle to save "face" in front of the villagers. He didn't go to his angry wife, and he couldn't let go of the old and young members of the family. He just worked hard while asking about his family in his hometown. By chance, he saw the report of Shibadong Village developing Xiangxi cattle farming and helping poor families shake off poverty and become rich, so he decided to go home and do a big job.

Long Chuang rushed home all night, and the next day he went to the local credit union to apply for a loan to raise cattle. The credit union learned about his previous "bad habits" in the pre-loan survey and flatly rejected his loan application. So he went to Hunan de agriculture and animal husbandry, found Yan Dezhong, the chairman of the board, and wrote down a guarantee that he would no longer play cards and gamble and asked for support for raising cattle. After listening carefully to Longchuang's situation, Yan Dezhong did not dislike him, but promptly sent Wu Zhongming, the person in charge of the company's cooperative, to local credit cooperatives to link up and guarantee loans to support him in setting up a Xiangxi cattle farming family farm and turning from a "prodigal son" to a "cattle herder."

Diligently help the "cattle herder" out of poverty

After long Chuang's family farm was built, he felt at ease and had a place to use. He knew that the next step was to get benefits from hard work and good management. So he ate and lived with the cattle all day, ate and lived on the mountain farm, raised the cattle carefully, and the cow got sick. He invited a technician to treat the cow in time. When the cow gave birth, he became a "midwife." the calf was weak and could not walk up the hill with his hands. He wrapped his cotton-padded clothes on his body when he was cold. After a period of time, his behavior moved his family, and his wife, who had been working abroad for a long time, came back with 30,000 yuan of "private money" and took the initiative to support him and three other farmers, investing more than 80,000 yuan and putting into work more than 300. Nearly four kilometers of grazing passageway was built by self-reliance. In order to save costs and improve the efficiency of comprehensive farming, he herded cattle while farming, collecting farmers' waste corn, rice and other crop straw for forage. At the same time, earthworms were raised with cow dung, fish and native chickens were raised, with an annual income of more than 150000 yuan.

The Longchuan family now lives and works in peace and contentment. By raising cattle to get rid of poverty and become rich, the family conditions have not only improved, but also become a happy home that everyone in the local villagers envy. Longchang has also changed from the "prodigal son" in the past. It has become the leader of the poor families in this village who raise cattle to shake off poverty and become rich.
