As soon as I put down the bronze mirror, I heard someone shouting outside. I went out and recognized it was the butcher.
"Hmph!" Before Jian Ning could ask, the butcher, feeling she was right, threw two chickens, one dead and one injured, at her feet, and said with her hands on her hips, "Tell me, how did it end? It was your black dog who did it!"
"Tell me how you want to end it." Ding Youtian came out from the east room and said.
"Without five hundred coins, this matter cannot be resolved. No matter who comes, it will be useless!"
"You are dreaming about beautiful things. Are you a golden chicken or a silver chicken?" After saying this, Jian Ning glanced at Maoqiu who was standing at the gate of the yard.
Maoqiu glanced at her, walked in through the courtyard gate, avoided Jian Ning, made a circle and ran to Ding Youtian.
"Mom, what are you doing?" The butcher's son was helping to dig a cellar in the backyard. He rushed over when he heard someone report the incident.
He picked up two chickens from the ground and handed them to the butcher who was pointing at Jane Ning's nose and cursing, "Go back, it's not a big deal, don't make a fuss about it."

A chicken was sold for sixty cents at most. After being persuaded by everyone, the butcher had to give up in disappointment. She hid the money and wanted to snatch the two chickens from her son. Her son was sensible enough and did not let her take them away. Instead, he handed them to Jian Ning.
"You've already taken the money, and you still want to take the chicken back? That doesn't make sense. Go back quickly. Otherwise, I won't have the face to come here to exchange secret water for food in the future." Her son said with a stern face.
The butcher spat at her own son and walked away cursing.
If it weren't for her son, Jian Ning would have kicked her out long ago. She lost 150 coins for nothing, and money was tight at the moment. She was so angry that she threw the two chickens heavily at Ding Youtian.
Ding Youtian picked up the injured hen, stared at it, and then smiled at Jian Ning, "Don't be angry. I'll use it to earn you 5,000 coins tomorrow."
"Are you kidding me?"
