The neighbors around had all suffered, with stinking chicken shit and no green radishes and vegetables. This was also the case with Chen Fengying's family. If they were not careful and left the yard door open, the two old hens raised by Li Jinhua would get in.
The sisters-in-law were miserable. They quarreled and made a lot of noise, and their faces turned red and their necks became thick with anger when they argued with Li Jinhua.
Li Jinhua then calmed down a bit. Among them, Xia Xiaolan was the youngest, had the best temper, and was the only one who couldn't even get aggressive in an argument. Unfortunately, she lived next door to Li Jinhua.
After figuring this out, Li Jinhua took advantage of Xia Xiaolan and let two old hens go to Xia Xiaolan's yard to eat vegetables every day.
Xia Xiaolan was already cautious enough and always remembered to close the yard door.
But she was going out today. As soon as she opened the door, the two old hens and Li Jinhua suddenly appeared. In the blink of an eye, the old hens rushed into the yard. Xia Xiaolan couldn't stop them, and they ate up the green vegetables she had worked so hard to grow.
Chu Yue stood on tiptoe and took a look into Xia Xiaolan's yard.
Xia Xiaolan is probably from Shanghai. She speaks in a soft and gentle Wu dialect and also grows Shanghai green tea. (Picture)
The leaves of the bok choy have been pecked all over by the old hen and are in a terrible state.
No wonder Xia Xiaolan was so angry.
Chen Fengying said indignantly, "Xiaolan, you are too soft-tempered. You should be tougher and learn more from Miss Chu! Mrs. Li will never dare to bully you again."
"Yeah, yeah!" Xia Xiaolan nodded vigorously, "I will definitely be like Comrade Chu in the future!"
Chu Yue withdrew her gaze from Xia Xiaolan's yard and looked at Li Jinhua's yard. There was a simple chicken coop in the corner, with no fence or door.
She asked Xia Xiaolan, "At night, Li Jinhua keeps the old hens here?"
Xia Xiaolan said, "Yes, they have always been free-range, saying that free-range chickens lay better eggs. She really cares about these two old hens. The first thing she does every morning when she wakes up is to touch the eggs. Usually there are two eggs a day. If one day there is one egg missing, she will scold the old hens in the yard."
Such an absurd thing happened to Li Jinhua, and I don’t know why it seemed so reasonable.
Chu Yue nodded, her eyes drooping slightly, hiding a cunning gleam.
While Chen Fengying continued to comfort Xia Xiaolan, Chu Yue did not say anything, because she had an idea in her mind. Xia Xiaolan's problem would be solved immediately and she could also teach Li Jinhua a more profound lesson.
Is there anything more heartbreaking than losing something you love?
Chu Yue looked at Lu Yuanbao and gave him a look.
Lu Yuanbao immediately understood what he meant. He took out a handful of candy from the bag and handed it to Xia Xiaolan.
"Auntie Xia, please have some candy."
…
After going from house to house and walking around the courtyard, Chu Yue had less and less money in her bag, until only the last house was left.
Chen Fengying looked embarrassed, stopped walking, and whispered, "Sister Chu, that's Zheng Yue'e's house. You just had a conflict yesterday. Forget it, don't go over there."
"It doesn't matter. I've divided it among the whole compound. Their family can't be left out, otherwise they will give people something to blame."
Chu Yue still walked over and knocked on the door.
Zheng Yue'e came out after hearing the voice. When she saw Chu Yue, her face turned pale immediately. "Why is it you? My Tieniu and Tiedan have been beaten and tortured by the boss. Their buttocks are bruised and they can only lie on the bed. Are you satisfied now? What else do you want to do? Don't you think revenge is not enough?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Fengying rushed back, "Zheng Yue'e, yesterday your two sons bullied a child from Captain Lu's family. It was clearly your fault. Don't you deserve to be punished? Don't be ungrateful! Sister Chu came here to share wedding candy. Your children caused this trouble just because they wanted to eat the wedding candy."
When Carrie Lam heard this, she looked at the bag of candies on Chu Yue's body, and her expression changed subtly, with a look of embarrassment.
She is different from Li Jinhua. She is not a bad person. She is just a kind mother who has many spoiled children. She gave birth to two sons in one breath and was too indulgent to both of them.
Yesterday's incident caused such a big fuss, and many people pointed fingers at Carrie Lam. Carrie Lam knew she was wrong, but she just couldn't bring herself to do it.
I never thought that Chu Yue would come here on her own initiative.
And... Chu Yue came here to show goodwill.
Chu Yue said to Zheng Yue'e, "Sister Zheng, please ask Tie Niu and Tie Dan to come out. I will treat them to candy."
Carrie Lam asked in disbelief, "Really? You... you're not angry?"
"There's nothing to be angry about. Captain Zhao apologized last night, and the two children were punished. This matter ends here. Let the past be the past. I won't bring up the past. We will still live in the same compound in the future. We will see each other every day and we will still be neighbors."
Chu Yue's words were very generous. If Carrie Lam continued to pester her, she would appear to be petty.
Carrie Lam hesitated for a while, walked back into the house half-believing and half-doubting, and shouted a few times. After a while, she saw Tie Niu and Tie Dan limping out.
Their condition was not as serious as Carrie Lam said. They were still able to get out of bed and walk, but their buttocks were in great pain, and they staggered like little ducks when they walked.
After Tieniu and Tiedan came out, as soon as they saw Lu Yuanbao, they immediately hid behind Zheng Yue'e and grabbed the corner of Zheng Yue'e's clothes.
After Lu Yuanbao fought back against the two troublemakers, they developed psychological trauma and were even afraid of children younger than them.
In the end, he was dragged out by Carrie Lam.
Chu Yue said, "Yuan Bao, share the candies with them."
"Okay." Lu Yuanbao did as Chu Yue said. He took the small bag of candy, took out colorful candies from the bag, and handed them over. "Here, I have candy now."
The three children fought over candy.
Tieniu and Tiedan nervously hid behind Carrie Lam, not daring to reach out to take it.
Carrie Lam said awkwardly, "Take it! Don't you just want to eat candy?"
Tieniu and Tiedan then had the courage to stretch out their hands. Lu Yuanbao first gave each of them a handful, then grabbed out another handful, and stuffed another handful into each of them. Their little hands were unable to hold it all, so they could only pull up their coats and hold it in their pockets.
The colorful candies exude an alluring appeal and can make people forget the pain in their buttocks.
The relationship between children is very simple. They can fight over candy, and make up because of candy.
And... they admire the strong.
Zhao Tieniu looked at the candy, then at Lu Yuanbao, "Lu... Lu Yuanbao... you are really awesome. Tiedan and I can't beat you alone. From now on, I won't fight with you. Let's be brothers."
This matter has been put behind us among the children.
Chen Fengying muttered to the side, "Zheng Yue'e, I accompanied Sister Chu to distribute wedding candies to the whole compound, and your family received the most wedding candies. If you don't think of Sister Chu's kindness, you have no conscience."
After hearing this, Carrie Lam’s face turned pale and blue.
She suddenly turned around and went back to the house without saying a word.
