Chapter 405 The Coward's Black Moonlight Witch 36
The three of them cleaned for two hours and finally cleaned the house.
Shen Xinran looked at He Baifeng, her eyes gleaming with anticipation, "Grandma, when are we going to pick up our chickens?"
Before going to the county town to study, He Baifeng wanted to sell the chicks at home, but Shen Xinran was reluctant to do so.
He Baifeng placed the chicks at Aunt Sun's house, gave her food every month, and asked her to help feed them.
As soon as Shen Xinran came back, he wanted to pick up his little chicken, but the house was not cleaned yet, so he had to endure it.
He Baifeng smiled and nodded, "You can go now."
The three of them went out like this. When they passed by Chu Bojian's house, Chu Bojian stopped and said, "Grandma He, I'll go back and clean up the house first."
He Baifeng nodded and reminded: "Okay, remember to come over for dinner tonight."
Shen Xinran couldn't wait to run to Aunt Sun's house, saying as he walked, "Aunt Sun, I'm here to pick up my little chicken."
She entered the yard and looked around, but didn't see her chicks.
Aunt Sun came out of the main room, saw Shen Xinran's confusion, pointed to the cage in the corner, and said with a smile: "Your chicks have grown up."
Just as Shen Xinran was carefully observing the chicks, He Baifeng walked over to Aunt Sun, took out twenty yuan from her pocket, and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work."
Aunt Sun waved her hand and refused, "Do we need to be so polite? My brother-in-law got into some trouble a while ago, and I need your help."
He Baifeng nodded and said, "No problem, I'll go tomorrow."
Shen Xinran and He Baifeng each carried two chicken coops and brought the grown chickens home. He Baifeng began to prepare dinner while Shen Xinran squatted beside the coop to feed the chickens.
In the past, when Shen Xinran threw a handful of corn kernels, the chicks would take a long time to eat them. But now, when Shen Xinran threw a handful of corn kernels, the chicks would snatch them up in a matter of moments.
When Chu Bojian came over, he saw Shen Xinran standing by the chicken coop in a daze, so he asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Shen Xinran answered seriously, "I'm thinking about which chicken to eat first."
Chu Bojian: “…”
He shouldn't have expected anything from a silly girl.
He Baifeng agreed immediately, "If you want to eat it, we will kill one tomorrow."
Shen Xinran's eyes curved as she nodded repeatedly, "Okay, chickens raised by ourselves must taste better."
The next morning, Shen Xinran woke up and the first thing she did was feed the chickens. She noticed a particularly conspicuous big red rooster that always rushed to eat before the other chickens.
Shen Xinran pointed at it excitedly and said to He Baifeng, "Grandma, this chicken is always popular. Let's eat it today!"
He Baifeng smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll make you roast chicken with potatoes."
While He Baifeng was skillfully processing the chicken, Shen Xinran brought a small stool, sat beside her, and watched attentively.
At this moment, a familiar voice broke the silence, "Mom, we're back."
Shen Xinran looked up and saw Wang Yaling coming over with Tan Shuai and Tan Jing.
Shen Xinran frowned, looking a little unhappy.
He Baifeng's expression also turned serious. "Why did you come back?"
Wang Yaling smiled and said, "Jingjing and Xiaoshuai are both on winter vacation now. I thought they haven't been back to their hometown yet, so I brought them to see you."
He Baifeng glanced at Wang Yaling. She knew her daughter very well and she didn't think that Wang Yaling would come back for no reason.
As expected, as soon as Wang Yaling entered the yard, she couldn't wait to ask her, "Mom, I heard people say you are a real witch?"
He Baifeng sneered, "What if it's true? What if it's fake?"
Wang Yaling took Tan Jing's hand and walked to He Baifeng. "You have such a great skill, it must be passed down. I want you to teach Jingjing."
Tan Jing gave He Baifeng a gentle smile and called out, "Grandma."
When Shen Xinran heard the word "grandmother", she glared at Tan Jing.
But at this glance, Shen Xinran suddenly discovered that the halo on Tan Jing's head seemed much dimmer than the last time she saw it.
She stepped forward, took He Baifeng's arm, raised her chin, and snorted coldly, saying that grandma could only be hers.
He Baifeng said with a serious expression: "Let's not talk about whether my ability is real or not. Even if it is true, why do you think I would give it to someone who has no blood relationship with me?"
Tan Jing stood there, her once bright eyes now filled with grievance and embarrassment. Her face, which had initially been filled with excitement and anticipation, gradually turned pale.
Wang Yaling sighed, took He Baifeng's hand to the corner, and said in a low voice: "Mom, you don't know this. Jingjing's fate was calculated by a master, and it's very good."
He Baifeng patted Wang Yaling's head angrily. "You've seen so many scams and deceptions with me since you were little. Can you really believe what those masters say?"
Wang Yaling retorted, "You know it's because we adopted Jingjing that our lives are getting better day by day."
He Baifeng was so angry that she covered her chest and gasped. How could she give birth to such a fool!
He Baifeng didn't want to say a word to Wang Yaling. She put the processed chicken into the kitchen, then packed up the things needed for the ritual and prepared to go out.
At this moment, Wang Yaling's voice came from behind, "Mom, where are you going?"
He Baifeng didn't look back, but replied expressionlessly: "Xiao Sun's brother-in-law is in some trouble, I have to go to his house."
Wang Yaling's eyes lit up immediately, "Then I'll go with you."
He Baifeng stopped and turned around, with a hint of displeasure in her tone, "I'm going to perform a ritual, why are you following me?"
Wang Yaling smiled, trying to hide her true intentions. "I haven't seen you do this for a long time. I really miss it."
Most importantly, she wanted to see with her own eyes whether her mother was as powerful as Hong Yurong said.
Shen Xinran originally wanted to go play with He Baifeng, but when she heard Wang Yaling speak, she shut up.
Before leaving, Wang Yaling turned to Tan Shuai and asked, "Do you want to come with me to watch grandma perform a ritual?"
Tan Shuai frowned and asked, "Where is the ritual being performed?"
He Baifeng replied succinctly: "It's in the next village. It takes about half an hour to walk there."
Hearing this distance, Tan Shuai immediately shook his head, "Then I'd better stay here."
He had walked all the way here from town and his legs felt like they were giving out, and he didn't want to walk another hour.
Seeing this, Tan Jing offered, "Then I'll stay and accompany my brother."
"Okay." Wang Yaling nodded with satisfaction, and then followed He Baifeng to the next village.
