"What's going on with the Qian family? Are they stealing eggs again? It's just a few eggs, what's the big deal? They're shouting every day about who stole their eggs."
"During this famine, eggs in town are selling for three cents each. If your family lost an egg, wouldn't you have to go look for it?"
"That's right! If anyone who has a short life span dares to steal my eggs, I will curse all his ancestors!"
The chattering of the women and the cursing in the distance mixed together, making Wu Yuehua's heart tighten.
Although he looked calm, his hand shook accidentally, and a small handful of honeysuckle flew out of the winnowing basket and fell directly to the ground.
Seeing Wu Yuehua's actions, Lu Dahua's eyes rolled around, as if she understood something important.
Everyone in Qianniu Village knew that the Shen family was notoriously poor and unlucky.
On weekdays, villagers would take a detour when they saw this family.
Take this family for example.
They had finally escaped here with great difficulty, and not long after moving here, Mr. Shen and his wife actually went there directly.
One of the wives that the two sons married was the youngest daughter of the Wu family from the neighboring village, who blushed easily when she spoke.
One is the eldest son of the Zhang family, who no boy from the surrounding villages dares to marry.
I heard that one of their relatives is a high-ranking official.
But their family lives a life worse than that of ordinary farmers in the village, and they have no relatives to help them.
A few years ago, the eldest son of the Shen family was bitten on the leg by a wolf and had no money to treat the disease, so his leg became lame.
Yesterday, his girl hit her head on some wild fruits, and he had no money to go to town to see a doctor.
The two boys from Shen Lao Er's family usually wear tattered clothes.
He ran around the mountains all day long, and from time to time you could hear a few wailing sounds from home.
Today, Mr. Shen actually ate eggs.
As for eggs, although we have them at home, it’s not the New Year or a festival, so how can we bear to eat them?
Lu Dahua looked at the gray hard steamed bun in her hand, then looked at the egg and vegetable pancake from the Shen family, and instantly felt that they were not delicious.
Hearing Qian Wangshi's voice approaching, she was startled and immediately shouted loudly:
"Big sister, your family actually eats eggs. Where did you get these eggs? Could it be..."
Qian Wangshi originally wanted to take a look around and then go back.
Suddenly I passed by Shen Fugui's house and heard these words.
Thinking that Shen Quezi seemed to have gone out today in a ox cart, he immediately rushed in.
It also attracted a group of women who came to watch the fun and rushed into the Shen family.
"The Shen family actually ate eggs? Could they have stolen them from Aunt Wang's house?"
"Nonsense! The Shen family is an honest family. You haven't seen it with your own eyes, so how can you say such nonsense and ruin their reputation?"
"I don't know for sure. Maybe Aunt Wang is just talking nonsense! But it's really strange that the Shen family can eat eggs."
When Wu Yuehua saw the scene in front of her, her face suddenly turned slightly red.
I didn't expect it to be discovered so quickly.
Forget it, I'll take the blame myself, so that the kids can learn a lesson.
However, before she could open her mouth, her eldest son Shen Jinshan came forward with an angry look on his face:
"We found these eggs in the mountains, we didn't steal them. Please don't wrongly accuse me."
Qian Wangshi hurriedly asked in a stern voice:
"Picked it up? Where did you pick it up? I think it was you, a greedy boy, who stole my eggs."
"We picked it up on the mountain, right at the entrance, in the grass under the trees halfway up the mountain."
Yulin from Shen Laoer's family came to his uncle's family home at some point and took the initiative to help.
"You little brat, don't you even think before you lie? Nowadays, not to mention eggs, even sparrows are rare on the hillside. I think your family must have stolen them."
In the crowd, a woman who was on good terms with the Qian family said.
"That's right, that's right."
Shen Jinshan frowned and said angrily:
"This is what the four of us brothers and sisters picked up. My second brother, third brother, and sister can all testify."
"Tsk tsk tsk... I never thought that the Shen family's boys were all thieves and even learned to cover up...
I don’t know how my parents taught me, or maybe… they never taught me at all?”
While speaking, Qian Wang looked at Wu Yuehua with a bad look.
Wu Yuehua looked guilty, her face turning even redder. She shielded the children behind her, as if she was trying to muster up the courage to say something.
Chen Xinli never expected that just taking out a few eggs from the space would cause such a big trouble.
Just wanted to step forward to solve the problem.
All I heard was a rough roar:
"Bullshit!
If you can’t pick it up, don’t say that others can’t pick it up either. You are just a bunch of troublemakers!
I think you guys are just full and have nothing to do! You just can’t stand seeing other people eat a bite of eggs.”
Zhang Fangju's loud voice rang out, and several people in the crowd who had just echoed her took a few steps back instantly.
"Ms. Zhang Shen, how can you say that? It's obvious that the eggs from your sister-in-law's house are of unknown origin."
A woman said.
Zhang Fangju glanced nonchalantly at the woman who had just spoken, then fiercely glanced at the woman who had just agreed, before calmly looking at Qian Wangshi:
"Tell me, how many eggs did you lose?"
Qian Wangshi was a little guilty at first, but she seemed to have suddenly thought of something and immediately said seriously:
"Ten of them. I was just about to take them to town to sell."
Zhang Fangju: "That's unfortunate. The eggs from my Shen family are not yours."
Qian Wangshi: "Why not? Can your Shen family afford to eat eggs?
It's obvious that your sister-in-law stole the eggs from my house, otherwise why didn't she give any explanation? Look at your sister-in-law, her face is red.
