Seven chickens! They used to lay 13 eggs a day, but even if we kill all the roosters, we'll only have eight eggs left.
The reason Ning Jing bought the roosters was that they would lay eggs and hatch chicks.
Therefore, at least one of the two roosters must be kept.
In that case, there would be 7 hens left, and if one hen lays an egg each day, there would only be 7 eggs.
Half of it was gone at once, and after the children ate it, there wasn't much left to sell.
However, we have no choice but to do it this way.
Although Lai Zi's words were unpleasant, he was right about one thing.
If anyone dares not to comply, they will likely be targeted and their tails cut off.
Once they come to your house, they might not just focus on how many chickens you have.
If the grain that Fu Hongxing hid in that kitchen were discovered, people would probably question where it came from.
At that time, even if you don't die, you'll be badly injured.
"I'll try to trade those chickens for grain tomorrow!"
Fu Hongxing thought for a moment and then said to Ning Jing.
Ning Jing sighed and replied, "You need to talk to the children properly; I'm afraid they'll be sad."
"Well, don't worry!"
Fu Hongxing didn't think as much as Ning Jing did. It was just a few chickens; why would he be sad or upset?
However, after he finished explaining his plans, looking at his younger siblings who burst into tears, Fu Hongxing felt somewhat at a loss for the first time.
"Siya, why are you crying like this? Big brother caught a chicken to exchange for grain and meat. Don't you love braised pork the most?"
He had no choice but to start by coaxing the youngest, Si Ya.
Seeing Tie Dan shedding tears, he felt an itch to go up and slap him on the back of the head.
"Big brother, can we not sell it? Siya doesn't eat meat, she wants to eat eggs."
After saying that, he couldn't help but lick his lower lip.
The eggs were fresh every day, and my sister-in-law would cook them in different ways every day; they were delicious.
But when she thought of meat, she couldn't help but think of the meat her sister-in-law cooked, which also seemed delicious.
Both are delicious, what should I do if I want to eat both?
However, she knew that if she took the chicken and replaced it with meat, there would be no eggs to eat.
The more I thought about it, the sadder I became, and tears streamed down my face.
"Ahem, it's not like my brother traded all the eggs for meat."
"Just exchange half of them. Don't worry, there will be enough eggs for you."
Hearing this, Siya looked up at her sister-in-law with some doubt. Seeing her sister-in-law nod, Jin Douzi stopped crying.
The other three were older, and Xiuhua, after being persuaded by Ning Jing, no longer objected despite feeling upset.
Tie Dan and Xiu Chun were the two people who couldn't accept it the most.
"Sister-in-law, could you not take them to exchange for something else?"
In Tie Dan and Xiu Chun's minds, it was more worthwhile to exchange the eggs they collected for other things than to exchange the hen for other things.
After all, as long as the hen is there, the eggs will keep coming in.
Ning Jing squatted down and took Tie Dan and Xiu Chun's little hands.
After this period of effort, the two little ones' hands have finally become a bit chubby.
"Tiedan, Xiuchun, your sister-in-law knows that you put a lot of effort into feeding them earthworms every day."
However, this time it was truly due to unavoidable reasons.
The village chief has already issued a notice: if this isn't done, not only might the remaining eight animals be taken, but the family's grain might also be confiscated.
Tie Dan and Xiu Chun blinked; they knew about the grain hidden in the kitchen.
That was something my older brother had worked hard to buy from outside. If that grain is confiscated, what will they eat in the future?
