Chapter 33 Stealing Chicken

Seeing this, Zhang Jinlan patted her butt and stood up.

"Thank you all for helping an old woman like me. You are good people!"

The spectators who were called good people.

They dispersed with satisfaction.

Jiang Fubao silently gave grandma a thumbs up in his heart.

I couldn't buy a hens. I wanted to buy chicks, but the other chicken sellers on the street only sold hens and roosters. I could tell that the hens were empty.

She was too lazy to go shopping.

A quarter of an hour later, the grandfather and grandson left the street.

They went to the butcher's and bought two pounds of pork.

Because it was afternoon, the meat was not as fresh as in the morning, and there was more lean meat and less fat.

The people here prefer to eat fatty meat.

The butcher shop owner reduced the price by a few cents per pound.

So Zhang Jinlan made a big purchase and bought two kilograms.

A man passing by selling candied haws.

Zhang Jinlan also bought a string of candied haws for her granddaughter.

"Fubao, eat four, and take the remaining four home to share with your brothers, so that they can also feel sweet." Zhang Jinlan loves not only her granddaughters, but also her grandsons. It's just that there are too many grandsons, so the only granddaughter seems especially precious.

Nature occupies a larger proportion in her heart.

Jiang Fubao understands it all.

She shook her head.

I don't want to eat so much by myself.

There are eight candied haws on the top.

There are seven brothers in the family, and one for each of them is just right.

Let's wait until we get home and enjoy it together.

The candied haws were finally wrapped in green leaves and put into the backpack intact.

By this time, it was already late.

Zhang Jinlan, who originally wanted to walk back, was worried that her granddaughter was too tired, so she was generous and took out two cents to take Jiang Fubao on an ancient ride.

This ox cart belongs to Zhoujia Village next door.

He stopped at a six-way intersection and was spotted by Zhang Jinlan.

If you rent a bullock cart just to go back, it will cost at least eight cents.

It was too expensive, so she couldn't bear to rent it.

The ride-sharing service at one cent per person is very cost-effective.

Originally, Zhang Jinlan only wanted to give a penny. After all, her three-year-old granddaughter could be held in her arms and did not count as a person.

But the owner of the ox cart was from Zhoujia Village and was not familiar with her, so he naturally disagreed.

I had no choice but to pay one cent more.

Jiang Fubao, who was sitting on the ox cart, was squeezed into a corner.

There were six people in the ox cart, not counting her and her grandmother.

After filling up the seats, we set off.

When leaving the city gate, the guards will check whether there are any fugitives or contraband in the car.

During the inspection, everyone had to get off the ox cart, and Jiang Fubao, who was waiting on the side, unexpectedly saw an acquaintance.

That swearing chicken seller.

I saw him talking stealthily to a man with a scar on his face in a corner.

"Wang Da, have you sold your chickens? I've really stepped on dog shit. It's really bad. I just met an old woman who was a complete shrew. She almost got me taken away by the police. We stole these chickens three or four days ago, and there are still a few cages left to sell. The chicks are dying one every day. I'm losing a lot."

"I've sold them all. Selling them at a low price is better than losing them. So, take the cage of chicks and I'll take you to the house across the street. I sold the cage of chicks to her. If you lower the price a little, she will definitely take them."

"Okay, I'll just push the cart up there. If the chickens get stolen, that's it."

"This is the city gate. There are officials next to us. Who dares to steal? Don't waste time. The alley is narrow and the cart can't go in. Just leave it here. Sell it quickly and we'll leave the city."

The man called Wang Da went to the other side with the chicken seller.

There was a cart with two chicken cages on it.

Jiang Fubao suddenly had an idea.

She took advantage of the fact that no one was watching and that grandma was chatting with the people from Zhoujia Village. She walked over, stretched out her hand, and in just one second, she had put the two chicken coops on the cart into the space.

This bastard dares to scold her.

From listening to their conversation, it seems that the chicken was also stolen from someone else.

Then let him experience the feeling of having his things stolen from him!

This is the price of being mean!

Jiang Fubao, who was too young to swear at anyone, felt extremely relaxed both physically and mentally at this moment.

It was like revenge for a great crime.

She held her grandmother's hand, got on the ox cart, left the city gate, and headed towards home.

"Where's my chicken!"

"Who stole my chicken?"

"I was just selling some chickens, but who stole all my hens and roosters? Damn thieves! I put them at the city gate and someone dared to steal them. Damn it—"

The ox cart went about fifty meters when several roars came from behind.

Jiang Fubao raised the corners of his mouth.

I rested my head on grandma's legs, closed my eyes and took a short rest.

The official road is paved with gravel and is relatively flat.

But when they got to the country road, the bumpy ox cart made Jiang Fubao feel uncomfortable all over. It was still a short break, but it felt like riding a bumper car. How could he take a break?

It's already evening.

Zhoujia Village is not far from Jiangjia Village, but it is not close either.

It takes at least fifteen minutes to walk there.

Because it was a ride on the ox cart, the ox cart only stopped at Zhoujia Village.

After the grandfather and grandson got off the ox cart, they still had to walk some distance before they could get home.

At this moment, Zhang Jinlan was extremely glad that she had taken the ox cart.

If you don't get back before evening.

That would be dangerous.

If the moon is covered by clouds at night.

It's no different from walking in the dark.

Very dangerous.

The better one missed a step and fell into the river.

The worse ones were dragged into the bushes and raped and murdered, and no one knew who the murderer was.

What's more, she brought her granddaughter with her.

A long time passed.

The sun is setting.

It is estimated that the sun will set in another quarter of an hour.

Zhang Jinlan was a little anxious. She had only walked halfway when she held her granddaughter's hand and quickened her pace.

The backs of the grandfather and grandson, on a country road.

farther and farther.

Finally, we returned to the village when it was almost dark.

At this time, under the big tree at the entrance of the village.

The women had already filled the seats.

Some of them were even holding their bowls, eating and chatting at the same time.

"Zhang, you just came back from the town? Why are you still bringing the child? No wonder you came back when it was almost dark. Go home quickly, or you will have to eat in the dark."

An old woman who was a few years older than Zhang Jinlan shouted at the grandfather and grandson.

"I'm going home. I've been staying in town for a while. You two can chat."

Zhang Jinlan did not stop, as she still had two pounds of pork in her basket.

You have to take it home quickly and cook it.

Walk to the end of the village.

There were several people standing at the door of Jiang's house.

Jiang Fubao took a closer look.

There are mother, father, uncle and grandpa.

They looked anxious.

I guess he's been waiting outside the door.

"Grandpa, Dad, Mom, Uncle, we are back——"

Jiang Fubao shouted one by one.

Her childish voice was very high.

Xiangche is at the foot of the mountain at the end of the village.

"Mom, you're finally back. It's almost dark now. We're so anxious. Dad wants to go look for you on the road with my big brother and second brother."

Zhang Yanzi breathed a sigh of relief the moment she saw her daughter and mother-in-law. She walked forward, picked up her daughter, and spoke softly.

"Mom, grandma made a lot of money today, so my brother has enough money to marry!"

Without waiting for grandma to speak.

Jiang Fubao blurted out the secret.
