"Mom, it's okay. I feel annoyed when I hear her nagging. She is so stubborn that she won't let us separate. She treats us like cattle and horses to support her whole family, and she never says a single good word."

Having said that, Qiao Jiangxin turned around and went into the chicken coop.

Liu Afang followed her, "Jiang Xin, the chickens have been fed..."

Before he could finish his words, Qiao Jiangxin grabbed a fat hen, pulled its neck and spun it 360 degrees cleanly. The hen didn't even have time to scream before its neck was broken and it kicked back and forth in Qiao Jiangxin's hand.

Liu Afang screamed and quickly snatched the hen from Qiao Jiangxin's hands. She tried to twist its neck, but no matter how she fiddled with it, the hen's neck remained drooping. She was so scared that her face turned pale.

"Hey, Jiang Xin, what are you doing? This is terrible, this is terrible, your grandma... this... if your grandma asks you later, you, you just say it was mom who did it, okay?"

Qiao Jiangxin grabbed the chicken from Liu Afang's hand and headed for the kitchen. "We raised chickens. Uncle San can take them to my mother-in-law's house, and Uncle Si can kill them. Why can't we kill them?"

"Mom, go boil some water. You're still pregnant with your brother. Even if you don't eat, your brother will have to eat. Look at you. You're already six months pregnant, and your belly is only this small. Aren't you afraid that your brother will have a bad health in the future?

Don't forget what happened to San San from Aunt Niu's family. Besides, uncle, father and grandfather are so tired every day. If they don't eat something good, their bodies won't be able to bear it. ”

Although Liu Afang was very frightened, she thought of San San, put her hand on her abdomen, stopped talking, gritted her teeth, and turned to boil water.

San San died at eight months old because of malnutrition when Aunt Niu was pregnant with her. She weighed less than three pounds when she was born and had a weak constitution.

The hen was about to be plucked and gutted. Looking at the string of egg shells inside her stomach, Liu Afang looked regretful.

As Qiao Jiangxin chopped the chicken, she said, "Why are you so distressed? Are these chickens ours? We have raised quite a few chickens, but we haven't even eaten a few eggs. And now Third Aunt is pregnant, so it won't be our turn in the future."

The pure local chicken was directly thrown into the pot and boiled. It was served on the table in less than forty minutes. Qiao Jiangxin served a bowl of chicken to Qiao Jiuwang, while trying to sow discord between them.

"Grandpa, please eat quickly. We have eight chickens in our house. When my aunt got married, we killed one to entertain the guests. My third uncle brought two to honor my parents-in-law. My fourth uncle secretly caught one and went out to eat with his friends. There are still four left.

One was kept for the nest, two were kept for the puppy, and grandma also said to give one to my third aunt who was pregnant.

Look how tired you, dad and uncle are, and grandma was reluctant to kill a chicken for you to eat. Just now she wanted to hit me because I said she wanted to kill a chicken for grandpa to nourish him. Why should she give all the food to her third aunt and mom?

Grandpa raised my third uncle to this age, married him off and gave him children, but he didn't expect him to be filial, and he didn't even have a sip of his soup. Why did he take my chicken to honor my grandfather-in-law?

Grandma always says that my parents don't have a son. I think a son like my third uncle is not as good as a daughter like my third aunt. The son-in-law gives him a chicken every day and a chicken every night, and is filial to him. As a father-in-law, he enjoys much more happiness than my grandfather, the biological father. ”

The more Qiao Jiuwang listened, the darker his face became. Qiao Jiangxin pretended not to notice his expression and quickly poured a large bowl of chicken soup with more meat and less broth for Liu Afang, uncle and father.

"Grandpa, grandma is going to hit me, you have to stop her. Look at my mom's belly, it's only this big after six months. Grandma keeps saying that she's doing this for my parents' good, but I never saw her give my mom an egg to nourish her. And my eldest uncle and my dad, if they get sick, will my fourth and third uncles come to help grandpa with the work?"
