"I have accepted a mission from the base and need to go out to collect salt, but I have a chicken at home and I am worried about leaving it to someone else. I heard that you also have a chicken, so I would like to ask you to help raise it for three days.
I will provide compensation and bring my own food, so I will not be a burden to you at all."
When Ji He heard her say this, before he could say anything, the neighbors who were watching the fun around softened their hearts first.
I thought it was something serious, but it turns out to be helping to raise chickens?
Is this a small matter worth kneeling down to beg for?
I kept sighing in my heart, why couldn't such a good thing happen to me?
Although they can’t eat chicken, raising chickens is not troublesome. The owner brings his own food, and they also get paid. It’s a great thing.
"No, I'm afraid it will die and I can't afford the compensation." Ji He refused.
Of all the things she had seen in her life, nothing good ever came of kneeling.
A cheating man who commits domestic violence makes his wife kneel down and beg for mercy after beating her so that he can continue beating her next time.
If someone sells company secrets or becomes a traitor, he or she will kneel down and beg for mercy when the matter is exposed in order to find an opportunity to strike back.
Small matters are not worth kneeling down for.
To put it in another way, kneeling down must be a big deal, and it is not a good thing.
So Ji He didn't want to get involved in any scandal at all.
"No, please, my chicken is very healthy, not sick. If you are worried, I can show it to you." After saying that, the woman took out a chick from her arms.
It was the kind that had just molted. After I took it out, it kept walking on the ground and really looked very healthy.
"Please, I have no other choice but to come to you. I have no relatives anymore. My child is only 5 years old and weighs only 20 pounds. I rely on this chicken to supplement the child's nutrition. If I hadn't been desperate, I wouldn't beg you like this. I just hope you can be kind and help me raise the chicken."
Ji He still shook his head, "No, I'm greedy for meat, I'm afraid I can't help it if I raise it. Don't test me, I can't stand this kind of test."
Her heart is as hard as steel.
In her opinion, if women are really as precious as she says, it would be safest to bring this chicken with her when she goes on a mission, otherwise this piece of meat could end up in the pot no matter who gives it to.
I’m afraid I won’t even see chicken bones when I come back.
Seeing Ji He's refusal, the woman still didn't give up and kept begging for a long time with a pleading look on her face.
Ji He still refused to give in.
Things have come to a standstill.
"This little girl is so cruel! She is just helping to raise a chicken, not raising a child."
"People's hearts have changed after the natural disaster. They are unwilling to lend a hand even for such a small favor. If this continues, what hope is there for the world?"
"Yeah, it's not like I won't pay you, so why is it worth asking for this? It's just a matter of lending a hand."
"You can't say that. It's all voluntary to help or not. Can't they just not want to get involved? Can you even use moral coercion for something like this? If you're willing, you can take the child home and raise him."
Before Ji He could say anything, Meng Jia couldn't help but start retorting.
These people are really enough. They just don’t want to help raise chickens. How can they make a big deal out of this?
She was also unwilling to help others raise chickens. Who knew whether the chickens were healthy or not? What if they got sick and infected her healthy chickens?
Ji He agreed, "Sister, listen, those people across the street are willing to help you raise chickens. As long as you change your mind now, everything is not too late."
The woman's face stiffened.
These people are really meddling in other people's business.
It turns out that he is just bored.
Hearing these discussions, the most populous family downstairs, the inquisitive aunt who had talked to Ji He last time, became interested.
"Girl, isn't it just raising a chicken? Why are you looking for her? Come to me. Over the years, I have raised hundreds of chickens. I am much more skilled than her. I will make sure your chickens are healthy."
"If you're worried and afraid that I might eat your chicken, we can go to the base and sign an agreement. Even if something unexpected happens, I'll leave the chicken carcass for you and will never eat it secretly. Otherwise, I'll compensate you with two."
This aunt is just an ordinary person. There are too many people in her family and she doesn’t want to put pressure on her children, so she usually takes on some cleaning and laundry work.
Many talented people nearby are her clients.
In addition to these, the family also grows a lot of vegetables and raises 2 chickens.
Life is prosperous.
The woman's face became more and more stiff, "Auntie, I am a timid chicken. I am afraid of seeing too many people."
She knew the situation of this aunt's family. There were too many people in her family and they were not her target customers. If she had a choice, any family would be better than hers.
"Big sister, don't worry. This chicken lives in my house in a single room and drinks filtered water. Its living conditions are better than mine! I even fan her. Look at my chicken, it's fat!"
The auntie got excited, squatted down, took out an old mobile phone, found the video she had taken, and showed the woman the living environment of her chickens.
Although these mobile phones cannot connect to the Internet and cannot be used at the base, they can still be used for daily photo taking.
The woman was not happy at first, but when she looked at the photo, she saw something and her eyes sparkled.
Attitudes have also softened.
After all, things have come to this point. If you don’t agree, others will become suspicious.
The main reason was that she had never expected that such a young girl could be so hard to deceive!
Helping to raise chickens doesn't mean stealing her chickens, most people wouldn't disagree. Why is it that she is so wary?
In the end, despite Ji He's insistence on not agreeing and the enthusiastic invitation from the people downstairs, the woman nodded and agreed to let the chickens be fostered downstairs for the next three days.
The foster care fee is 3 taels of dried sweet potatoes, and you need to bring your own food.
After hearing the reward, many people who had not spoken just now regretted it.
If they had known the pay would be so good, they would have taken this business! It's easy, just raise a chicken, and if the owner changes his mind and doesn't pay, they can keep the chicken as collateral.
You can't always compensate.
At once, many people came forward to recommend themselves to the woman.
"Next time you go out and have no one to look after your chickens, choose me. I can help you take care of them."
"And I, I have a water-type talent at home, and I can give your chickens some water, for free!"
The woman listened to the group talking without changing her smile.
But I was secretly pouting in my heart.
Need you tell me?
If someone asked her to raise chickens under these conditions, she would be happy!
Ji He leaned against the door, watching the woman being surrounded by the crowd and walking down the stairs, without saying a word.
She always felt that there was something wrong with this woman, but she had no evidence.
Meng Jia from the next room came over and whispered, "It's right that you didn't agree. My mom always said that if you take advantage of something, you will suffer a great loss. I don't believe that anyone is so stupid as to spend money to ask others to help raise chickens! The farm said they can help raise the chickens. If she really has no other choice, she can send her chickens there. The environment is better than here, and the price is lower."
Ji He nodded in agreement.
That's the reason.
Anyone who raises chickens will have that group. Experts will ask about the chickens' condition all day long and provide all kinds of help. If you are willing to send your chickens there, I guess they will be very attentive.
