Chapter 9 A Single Egg That Triggered
As soon as Jinran stepped out, she saw Shen Yanhong crying pitifully in the courtyard, as if she had suffered a great injustice. Her aunt was like a lion about to go berserk, unable to restrain herself from going forward to tear her apart.
In the courtyard, there was a middle-aged woman with a slightly thin man. The man kept his head down and remained silent.
The woman leading the group was clearly not a kind person. She said in a harsh tone, "In all my years, I've never seen such a shameless girl. Shen Yanhong, tell me, how many times have you taken my Daqiang's eggs?"
The man named Daqiang raised his head, his face flushed, and tugged at his mother's sleeve, whispering, "Mom, let's go home."
The woman flicked her sleeve and shouted, "Get out of my way! I get angry just looking at you. I'll deal with you when we get back."
The man lowered his head again, not daring to speak.
The area was surrounded by villagers eager to watch the spectacle, and Jinran watched with great interest as the situation unfolded. This hair-pulling stunt was truly fascinating.
Shen Yanhong lowered her head, looking embarrassed. This was before she was reborn. Daqiang liked her and would give her things every time. She refused a few times, but then she just accepted them.
After her rebirth, she forgot about the incident. This time, she was in a bad mood and decided to go out for a walk, which is when she ran into this fool.
They insisted on giving her the eggs, and without thinking much, she accepted them. Who knew that Daqiang's shrewish mother would suddenly appear, refusing to listen to her explanation, dragging her towards the Shen family's house while hurling insults.
We must find a way to prevent our reputation from being damaged.
Shen Yanhong's eyes darted around, and she came up with a wicked idea. She cried and said, "I ran into Brother Daqiang on the road. He said some ambiguous things and asked me to give him the eggs." She looked at the girl in the family with a very intelligent gaze.
Jinran thought this year's female lead was really wicked.
The scene fell silent for a moment as everyone looked at the Shen family members, wondering what their attitude was and what exactly was going on.
Grandma Shen coughed lightly, glanced around, and said, "Daqiang, who did you give your eggs to? Tell me."
Daqiang lowered his head even further and remained silent for a long time.
Shen Yanhong cried, "I know I'm not well-liked in this family, but I'm still a member of the Shen family, Grandma. Are you trying to ruin me by asking this? I'm innocent. I have no idea why Brother Daqiang gave me the eggs. He didn't explain it clearly. I thought..."
Wang Cuifen clicked her tongue and said in a voice loud enough for everyone to hear, "This is truly a sure-fire way to make money."
Jinran felt that her mother's expression at that moment had a villainous air about her.
The eldest aunt pursed her lips unhappily, "Third brother's wife, what are you saying? We don't even know what happened yet, and you've already killed her? How can you be so heartless? I know you don't like my Yan Hong, but you don't have to treat her like this. She's still a child."
Jinran's classic excuse, though late, finally arrived.
The situation reached a stalemate. At this moment, the eldest sister said in a clear voice, "My sisters and I have never accepted anything from the boys in the village. My grandmother taught me that if you want something, you should earn it yourself and not take advantage of anyone. Yan Hong's matter may be a misunderstanding. Aunt Wang, look, my family will give you five eggs. Let's just consider this matter over. We are from the same village and we will see each other all the time. Let's not make things so distant."
Grandma Shen looked at Da Nan with a smile in her eyes and said, "Da Nan's meaning is my meaning."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yanhong understood that the implication was that she had been convicted and that there was no room for argument.
That won't do!
Before she could speak, Grandma Shen gave her a stern look, and Shen Yanhong shrank back, shutting her mouth and daring not to say anything more.
My aunt and my other aunt were not happy. Five eggs were taken away from the house for no reason. It was a huge loss.
Auntie thought unhappily, "What's with this girl showing off in this kind of situation? She's just like her grandmother. She still needs a son. These girls can't take care of her in her old age."
Aunt Wang was delighted to have five eggs in her hands and said, "You all know what kind of person I am. I'm not trying to take advantage of anyone. But Auntie, you still need to teach your Yan Hong a good lesson."
Grandma Shen just smiled and saw everyone off.
Jinran felt that the real show was about to begin.
