A while after he finished speaking, Lu Laogen walked out from behind the fence with one hand behind his back and his head hunched over.
Zhang Juhua's eyes widened instantly, and she shouted angrily at Lu Laogen, "Lu Laogen, you still know how to come out? Don't you know I'm being bullied to death? Are you even a man? You just stand by and watch me get bullied."
As soon as Zhang Juhua spoke, Lu Laogen shrank his neck even more, looking as if he wished he could just bury his head in his stomach.
Lu Zhimin glared at Lu Laogen with exasperation, then shouted at Zhang Juhua, "Shut up! If you weren't always causing trouble, would all this have happened? You still have the nerve to spout nonsense? If you keep spouting nonsense, you and your husband will both kneel in the ancestral hall!"
Upon hearing Lu Zhimin's words, Lu Laogen couldn't help but mutter, "What does this have to do with me?" However, because his voice was soft, no one heard him.
Zhang Juhua also shut up.
Lu Laogen walked slowly to Zhang Juhua, the chicken in his hand struggling a few times and clucking a few times.
Zhang Juhua cherished her only hen, and she was so familiar with its clucking sound that she immediately became alert upon hearing it and instinctively looked behind Lu Laogen.
Upon seeing it, she jumped up and down, forgetting even Lu Zhimin's warning. She immediately yelled, "Lu Laogen, you dead man, what are you doing catching my laying hen? If you catch it like this and it stops laying eggs, are you going to compensate me?" While yelling, she reached out to snatch the hen from Lu Laogen's hand.
Lu Laogen took two steps back and said, "Zhang Juhua, don't you dare lay a hand on me. Let me tell you, I have a use for this old hen."
Zhang Juhua raised her eyebrows and shouted, "Useful? What use is it? My old hen is meant to lay eggs. No matter how useful you are, you have to give it back to me!" While shouting, she continued to try to snatch the chicken from Lu Laogen's hand.
While dodging Zhang Juhua's hand, Lu Laogen whispered anxiously, "No, you're not allowed to take it. It's useful, you can't take it..."
Seeing that Lu Laogen was retreating step by step and was about to lose his hen, Lu Zhimin shouted again: "Zhang Juhua! Don't you understand what I'm saying? If you don't behave yourself, I'll really get rough!"
Zhang Juhua finally stopped, but looked at Lu Zhimin and 'explained': "Uncle Gensheng, it's not that I don't listen to you, it's just that Lu Laogen is being unreasonable. You know, we only have this one old hen that lays eggs, and Gensheng needs its eggs to nourish his body, so we can't let Lu Laogen do whatever he wants."
"Was I acting recklessly? It's all because you caused trouble..." Lu Laogen finally spoke up to defend himself, though his voice was very soft, but Lu Zhimin and Zhang Juhua both heard it.
Hearing Lu Laogen's words, Zhang Juhua forgot Lu Zhimin's warning again, glared at Lu Laogen and said, "Me? What did I do? Lu Laogen, you better explain yourself clearly, what did I do? What trouble did I cause? Let me tell you, Lu Laogen, if you don't explain yourself clearly today, I'm not done with you!"
Zhang Juhua's voice grew louder and louder, until it almost became a shout, which was clearly audible even to Yun Dazheng and Yun Qishi inside the house. Just then, Yun Duo ran into the house, and Yun Dazheng immediately said, "Duo'er, didn't I tell you to go and invite the village chief? Why is Lu Laogen here too?"
