"I said, don't you even check whether what you wrote looks like it?
My husband went to the county to deliver something to his son a few days ago. I heard that your brother Zhang Hai was taught a lesson by the shopkeeper!
How could it be possible that the shopkeeper took a fancy to them and even went to buy more? I think these eggs from your sister-in-law’s house were stolen from the Qian family.”
After a woman who was close to Qian Wangshi said this, everyone's expressions changed again and again.
It was unclear what was going on, but many people were already inclined to believe the woman's statement.
after all--
The Shen family is too poor!
Even ordinary farmers have to save up their eggs and sell them for money to exchange for food, oil and salt.
Could his Shen family live better than theirs?
This is absolutely impossible!
"Okay, you said this egg is yours, so bring your egg here and we'll compare it and find out."
Chen Xinli saw a gleam in Second Aunt's eyes, and she pointed out the key point in one sentence, and she couldn't help but give her a thumbs up.
This second aunt is very good at getting along with others. She is smart and won't fall into other people's traps easily.
Even if an egg is big, how big can it be? Can it be as big as a duck egg? Qian Wangshi thought.
"What's there to compare? It's just an egg. You just don't want to admit it."
Several women nodded unconsciously.
Wu Yuehua looked at her sister-in-law guiltily. It was all her family's fault. She was about to step forward but was stopped by her daughter.
Then she saw her sister-in-law quickly walk up to her, pat her arm, and signal her not to worry for the time being.
Chen Xinli watched the drama in front of her and gained a deeper understanding of this family.
At present, the most thoughtful and capable person in the Shen family is indeed the second aunt.
Because she was the only one who could tell at once that the egg was different.
However, what made her even more worried was that the omelet and egg soup were cold. She was really hungry. Compared to watching a show, she wanted to eat more.
Chen Xinli, who was still hungry, heard Second Aunt continue to rage:
"I think you are guilty. You refused to take the eggs when I asked you to, and you even tried to smear the Shen family!
Well, I'll take it first. When I prove the whole story, let's see if you feel embarrassed or not."
Zhang Fangju said calmly to the onlookers.
"I say, Qian Wangshi, are you trying to blackmail the Shen family?"
Chen Xinli looked at the long-faced woman who was speaking for her family. It was Aunt Li who gave her soybeans in the morning.
Qian Wangshi couldn't help but glare at Zhao Lishi, feeling a little uneasy: Why did this troublemaker come today?
Zhang Fangju took in everyone's reactions and took out two eggs from her pocket.
"Everyone, look, this morning I asked the brothers Yushan and Yulin to deliver four eggs to my sister-in-law's house. These are the only two eggs left in my family.
These eggs are a different color from the eggs we have here.
The shells of the eggs laid by the chickens here are light in color, but the color of these eggs is darker, and they are also a circle larger than the eggs here.
If one of our chickens happens to be this big, it’s purely accidental, but all the eggs my brother buys are this big.”
When Shen Jinshan heard what his second aunt said, he immediately pieced together two eggshells that had not been thrown away in the house and showed them to everyone.
Seeing that everyone seemed to be convinced.
Zhang Fangju asked Shen Yulin to bring another bowl.
After cracking the egg, she saw that the yolk in her hand was darker in color and larger in size, which was indeed different from the color of egg yolks nowadays.
Seeing that her innocence had been proven, Zhang Fangju said loudly again:
"I don't believe you don't know what color the egg yolks here are."
"Yes, yes, the eggs from the Shen family are indeed different from ours."
Public opinion all turned to the Shen family.
"Ms. Qian Wang, do you have anything else to say?"
"I...I...do I have eggs this big at home? This is mine."
"I'm telling you, Qian Wangshi, stop being so stubborn!
Where can we find eggs like this here? Don’t you have any idea how big your hen is? Don’t we know that?
Aren't you afraid your hens might suffocate to death?"
As soon as Aunt Li said this, everyone couldn't help laughing.
Qian Wangshi's face also turned red due to the teasing.
It was just a lively event, and as everyone was about to disperse, Qian Wangshi also wanted to take the opportunity to slip away.
"Stop, you haven't apologized yet?"
"You accused my family of stealing eggs, and now you're just walking away without saying anything. Believe it or not, we'll go to the county magistrate to seek justice and sue you for slander."
Chen Xinli stared at Qian Wangshi and said sternly.
"How can you be so cruel, little girl? It's just a few eggs, why are you taking it to court?"
The women who were close to Qian Wangshi began to join in the discussion.
Wu Yuehua couldn't help but look at her daughter with wide eyes, and was about to signal her not to go too far.
But then I heard my daughter say:
"Auntie, if I say your whole family are egg thieves, and that you instigated your children to steal eggs and other things, what would you think, and what would your children think...
"You're talking nonsense. My child would never steal anything."
The woman spoke immediately before Shen Xinli finished speaking.
"Yes, our family just wants an explanation. Why is it that only Aunt Wang can wrongly accuse others? Can't we also ask for an apology?"
"That's right, Madam Qian Wang, you have to give them an explanation no matter how high or low you are."
Aunt Li and Zhang Fangju both glared at Qian Wangshi.
The corners of Qian Wang's mouth trembled. She looked at Aunt Li, then at Zhang Fangju, and had no choice but to point the finger at Chen Xinli.
"I... I'm telling you, little girl, what's there to say? We're all from the same village, we see each other every day. Why are you so aggressive?"
