Chapter 33 That’s the Egg-Laying Chicken

Liu Xingxing was skinny and only 1.67 meters tall, weighing less than 100 kilograms. He was suppressed by Aunt Zhao, who was 1.78 meters tall and weighed 190 kilograms. He had no power to resist and could only scream and beg for mercy.

"A few days ago, I was wondering why an old hen was missing from our house. I searched everywhere but couldn't find it. At first, I thought it had gotten lost or had been carried off by a weasel. I was heartbroken for a while, but I never imagined that a careless bastard like you had stolen it and stewed it!"

"Let me tell you, Liu Xingxing, this old hen in our family is a pioneer in laying eggs. She has a super high egg-laying efficiency. All the eggs we eat depend on her. If you dare to eat her, do you know how much loss this will bring to our family?"

Aunt Zhao grew angrier as she spoke, and the strength in her hands gradually increased...

"Oh! Aunt Zhao, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong! It's all my fault for not being able to resist my greed. You are so magnanimous. A prime minister can hold a boat in his stomach. The moon sets, the crows cry, and the sky is full of frost. The couple will return home together!"

Liu Xingxing's face turned red and he grimaced in pain, tears streaming down his face.

"You want me to let you go? Fine, but give me the money. 500 yuan, not a penny less!"

Aunt Zhao said sternly.

"What! 500 yuan! You want 500 yuan for an old hen! How can an old hen be so expensive! Why don't you just rob someone?"

Liu Xingxing suddenly cried out in surprise.

"Why do you think it's too expensive, you little brat?"

"I've raised that old hen for several years and have developed feelings for it. It's not just a hen, it's my family!"

"You stewed my family and I asked you for 500 yuan, and you think it's too much?! I don't want the money, you come to the police station with me right now!"

Aunt Zhao shouted angrily and immediately dragged Liu Xingxing to the police station.

"Brother Liu Xingxing, you should know which is more serious, 500 yuan or jail time. Be smart and take the money quickly. Otherwise, what will you do if Aunt Zhao gets angry and doesn't want the money at all, and is determined to put you in jail?"

At this time, Yuan Chun's voice sounded faintly.

"Okay... I'll give it to you... I'll give it to you!! 500 yuan is 500 yuan!"

Liu Xingxing shouted loudly. He was not stupid. But if he went to jail for 500 yuan, he would be stupid.

"Stop talking nonsense and take the money!"

Aunt Zhao snorted coldly and released the hand that was pulling Liu Xingxing's ear, pinching her waist and glaring at him.

"Why are you in such a hurry...I'm just giving you money..."

Liu Xingxing muttered softly with a look of grievance on his face, then reluctantly took out a wrinkled 500 yuan from his pocket. This was the money he had earned by doing odd jobs for a long time, and now he could only pay for his mistake.

"Aunt Zhao...can't it be any cheaper..."

Liu Xingxing made his final struggle.

"You're in luck! Take it!"

Aunt Zhao glared, stretched out her big hand like a palm-leaf fan, snatched the 500 yuan and put it into her pocket.

"Don't do it again, little brat! Otherwise, I'll crush your balls!"

Aunt Zhao snorted coldly and ignored Liu Xingxing. She turned to look at Yuan Chun, and her expression immediately became kind.

"Master, I really owe you a lot this time! Otherwise, I definitely wouldn't have been able to catch this little bastard who stole the chicken!"

"I didn't expect you to be a true deity. I didn't believe you before. I apologize! Please forgive me, my lord. Please don't treat a country woman like me with such humility!"

Aunt Zhao scratched her head and smiled sheepishly, her eyes clearly showing awe for Yuan Chun.

"You're welcome, Aunt Zhao. It's just that everyone here has some doubts about me, so I have to show off a little to prove my identity."

Yuan Chun smiled slightly.

"Is there anyone among you who still doubts my identity?"

Yuan Chun then spoke to everyone.

The villagers looked at each other and suddenly became quiet, looking at Yuan Chun with a hint of awe in their eyes.

In this silence, a white-haired old woman was pushed out in a wheelchair by a young girl.

"Fortune teller, I'd like to know how many years I have left to live. Could you please tell me?"

Yuan Chun looked at her, and at the same time, the secrets of heaven and earth were running in his mind, and he began to deduce the old woman's future.

"Grandma Li was just discharged from the hospital yesterday. It's getting colder outside, so please keep warm."

As soon as Yuan Chun said this, everyone was shocked.

The old man in front of him was named Li Xiufen. She was a teacher in the county when she was young and had a very high reputation in the village. A few days ago, she suffered a sudden cerebral hemorrhage and was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. She was just discharged from the hospital and returned home yesterday. This was something everyone in the village knew, but Yuan Chun actually figured it out with just one look at Li Xiufen!

"To be honest, although I'm old, I don't believe in feudal superstitions like fortune-telling."

"But you really opened my eyes today. It seems that there are still many things in the world that I don't know."

Li Xiufen looked at Yuan Chun and sighed.

"Thank you so much, Grandma Li. I have already deduced your lifespan."

"You are eighty-three years old this year. Because you have been exercising regularly and have a regular lifestyle, you have no major health problems despite your age."

"The cerebral hemorrhage you suffered a few days ago was a disaster for you. Although it was serious, it was not fatal."

"But regarding the question of lifespan, according to the rules, we cannot reveal the exact details to the person asking. I can only tell you that the road ahead is not short, and most people will live in peace and joy, and eventually die peacefully and without pain."

Yuan Chun said with a faint smile.

"I'm very happy with this result, please."

Li Xiufen smiled kindly. Although she was very old and had become indifferent to life and death, it was impossible for her not to be happy when she heard Yuan Chun's words.

After all, living one more year means you can spend one more year with your family.

If the life span is told to the person exactly, it is very likely that he will lose the goal of life and even the motivation to live.

This result was not what Yuan Chun wanted to see, and he was the only one who knew Li Xiufen's future.

He is eighty-three years old this year and has twelve years and four months left to live. He will fall into deep sleep one night and die painlessly. It is a very good fate.

All this has a lot to do with Li Xiufen's upbringing and character.

Yuan Chun deduced that according to Dahai's previous fate, he would choose to commit suicide because of the villagers' gossip.

The only person in the village who did not treat the sea with indifference was Li Xiufen.

As the saying goes, God is watching what you do. Li Xiufen's various behaviors are inadvertently accumulating merits for herself.

This is also why she was able to survive the previous crisis without any danger and continue to live peacefully for twelve years.

Everything that comes and goes has its cause and effect.
