Chapter Thirty Seeking Justice
Zhang Chen rushed over and was quite surprised to see what was happening.
He knew his chickens well; they were all incredibly fierce, and even when he came to collect eggs, he would get a severe beating.
His original intention was to teach Xinli a lesson so that she would never dare to oppose Xu Haiyu again.
Unexpectedly, Xin Li didn't suffer, but Xu Haiyu was pecked all over.
Xu Haiyu completely ignored Zhang Chen and looked at He Mingzhou: "Brother Mingzhou, help me! Xin Li is commanding those chickens to kill me..."
The people around were speechless.
"Xiaoyu, that's not right of you. Xinli was just catching a chicken, and you're the one who provoked it and got chased by it. Look how well-behaved the chicken in Xinli's hand is. Maybe you've upset it. Instead of trying to calm the chicken down, you're blaming it instead."
Xu Haiyu's vision went black. Why were these people still speaking up for Xin Li?
She wanted to glare at those people, but considering her established persona, she ultimately didn't dare to argue back.
She looked at He Mingzhou with tearful eyes, wanting him to help her.
He Mingzhou did help her.
He grabbed the chicken, pulled it by its wings, and walked toward Xinli.
Have you made your selection?
Xin Li originally thought that He Mingzhou would comfort Xu Haiyu after helping her, but unexpectedly, He Mingzhou came straight to find her.
It must be said that Xin Li's vanity was greatly satisfied.
As expected of the man she chose, he still has some of her backbone.
"Take this one in your hand, it's even pecking people, you wouldn't feel bad eating it."
He Mingzhou nodded and handed the chicken to Zhang Chen.
Zhang Chen reached out and took it.
The chicken, probably fueled by old and new grudges, pecked at Zhang Chen's wrist, causing him to cry out in pain.
"Oh dear, Dr. Zhang Chen has injured his wrist. I'm afraid he won't be able to have lunch today."
Xin Li looked at He Mingzhou: "Sister-in-law Lu, is there any food left?"
"some."
He Mingzhou's eyes lit up with a smile when he saw Xin Li's exaggerated acting.
"Do you want to go?"
Xin Li nodded in satisfaction at He Mingzhou's good manners: "Go ahead, but we need to go to Dr. Zhang Chen's house first. I need to take the melons I brought back with me."
Zhang Chen, who was covering his hands, almost lost his composure upon hearing this.
She actually remembered those few lousy melons?
Xin Li ignored the battered Xu Haiyu and Zhang Chen, smiled at He Mingzhou, and the two walked side by side toward Dr. Zhang Chen's house.
When Zhang Chen brought Xu Haiyu back to apply the medicine, he saw that not only had the melon that Xin Li had brought over as a gift been taken away, but even the one he had just cut had been taken away.
Xinli even took one of his plates.
Zhang Chen: "..."
Has this woman never eaten a melon before?
When Xu Haiyu saw that He Mingzhou was really leaving her behind and taking Xin Li away, she burst into tears.
She was in pain all over, and the thought of being chased around by chickens in front of everyone made her feel incredibly embarrassed.
Despite her miserable situation, Xin Li didn't suffer any grievances at all. In fact, she even received a lot of praise and admiration for catching chickens with her bare hands as easily as pulling up radishes.
Some people have even started saying that Xin Li is so capable that she doesn't seem like the temperamental young lady that others describe her to be.
Xu Haiyu was very flustered.
If this continues, Xinli will soon reverse everyone's bad impression of her.
Then she really has no chance of winning at all.
"No, I have to think of a way."
Xu Haiyu looked at Zhang Chen expectantly: "You'll continue to help me, right?"
Zhang Chen was already suffering from a severe hand injury, but seeing Xu Haiyu like this, he immediately blurted out, "Don't worry, I'll help you find a way, but we can't target her anymore at this critical juncture, otherwise people will suspect that we're ostracizing her."
"Wait a little longer, there will always be a good opportunity."
"good."
Xu Haiyu lowered her eyes, knowing in her heart that Zhang Chen was unreliable.
But she still needs Zhang Chen, so she has to endure humiliation and hardship.
Let Xinli be smug for a few more days.
She believed that sooner or later she would be able to kick Xinli out!
...
"You can really catch a chicken with your bare hands?"
Xin Li and He Mingzhou returned to Zhang Jinhua's house. Zhang Jinhua was so shocked by Xin Li's ability to catch chickens with her bare hands that he couldn't stop talking.
"It wasn't exactly catching chickens with my bare hands. Maybe I'm just scary, and the chickens were afraid of me."
Zhang Jinhua couldn't help but pat his chest: "Wow, that's pretty impressive. You have no idea how terrifying Zhang Chen's chickens are."
"They pecked a little kid who was throwing stones at them, leaving a huge hole in his head that made him bleed."
"Everyone says Zhang Chen probably fed those chickens something else, they're very fierce, but his chickens are indeed healthier than other chickens. Look at how they fly, they're like eagles."
"And the eggs at his place are all bigger than the ones at other places."
Xinli thought so too, and nodded, saying, "I reckon they fed it herbs."
In fact, according to later generations, it was a kind of feed.
Poultry also have unique feed, and if they are fed for a long time, they will definitely revert to their ancestral traits.
However, such poultry has a fresher and tastier texture and a longer lifespan.
However, animal feed is a rare commodity these days.
It's likely that Zhang Chen figured it out on his own, but he definitely shared it with others.
Judging from how fierce his chickens are, I'm afraid even if others knew the method, they wouldn't be willing to feed them.
After all, one wrong move could cost someone their life.
They would rather live than be chickens.
"Have you studied martial arts?"
He Mingzhou, who had been sitting to the side listening to the two talking, suddenly spoke up.
Xinli realized that the question was directed at her, and shook her head, saying, "I haven't studied it much."
He Mingzhou raised an eyebrow, his mind still replaying the scene of Xin Li catching chickens with both hands.
He never knew that women could be so open and expansive.
She was like a general inspecting his soldiers; she didn't need any other means to make others submit.
For the first time, He Mingzhou realized that this young lady from Shanghai was completely different from what he had imagined.
That's interesting.
A smile flashed in He Mingzhou's eyes.
He originally thought this marriage was just a responsibility, but now He Mingzhou is starting to feel that he didn't lose out by getting married.
Zhang Jinhua noticed the change in He Mingzhou's expression and couldn't help but chuckle to himself.
Xinli noticed that the other two people looked a little strange, but neither of them seemed inclined to say anything. Xinli wasn't one to pry, so she simply gave up and didn't ask any further.
"After you finish eating, you can go back first. I'm going to the military base."
He Mingzhou left after saying that. Seeing that Zhang Jinhua didn't seem surprised, Xin Li asked curiously, "What is he going to do?"
Zhang Jinhua said with a smile, "Zhang Chen treated you like this, so of course Xiao He, as your husband, has to seek justice for you."
