Shen Qianqian slept soundly until noon.
After stretching in the bright sunshine, I headed straight to the kitchen.
There was a small bowl on the kitchen table with two eggs in it, and nothing else.
have.
Shen Qianqian pursed her lips; this little bit of food wouldn't be enough to fill her up.
But it's alright, she can support herself. Thinking of this, she narrowed her eyes and gave a wicked smile to the chickens running around in the yard.
Shen Qianqian peeled two eggs and made a cup of malted milk powder with hot water, thus creating a breakfast that could be considered a luxury in the countryside at that time.
After having breakfast to replenish her energy, Shen Qianqian stood in the chicken coop and looked around. Two minutes later, she grabbed a plump chicken and came out.
Grandma Fang cherished these five chickens like treasures, and would go out to find insects to feed them whenever she had free time. It was probably more important to her than the twins from the second wife.
Sigh, but what can you do when she's not getting enough to eat? When people aren't full, they crave meat.
Shen Qianqian was a little clumsy at killing the chicken, but she still remembered the specific steps. She spent some time cleaning the chicken inside and out, then put it in a pot with water and two slices of ginger to make a clear chicken soup.
After finishing the last piece of meat, the Yu family returned, and the quiet courtyard became noisier.
"Mom, one of the chickens is missing. Could it have escaped?"
"Oh dear, my chicken! Go find it quickly! Don't let anyone catch it and eat it!"
A commotion erupted in the yard, followed by a scream—"Mom! There's chicken feathers all over the place!"
Grandma Fang's cries were deafening.
After eating her fill, Shen Qianqian clapped her hands and stood up.
She leaned against the doorframe, smiling brightly.
"Grandma, you're back? I left you some chicken soup, it's still hot, go and eat it quickly."
Grandma Fang, on her deathbed, sat up in shock, clutching a pile of chicken feathers, and rushed to Chen Qianqian, her legs numb.
Li showed no signs of aging.
"You actually killed my chicken! How dare you! How dare you!"
She raised these hens for so long, and they were just killed like that. How many fewer eggs will she get, how much less money will she make?!
That damned Shen Qianqian!
Smelling the aroma of chicken wafting from the kitchen, tears welled up in Old Mrs. Fang's cloudy eyes, and she whimpered.
Chirp.
After eating and drinking her fill, Shen Qianqian was in a very stable mood: "I asked you to make me two eggs, and you actually gave me two eggs? Don't I need to eat? Of course I need to eat when I'm hungry, and I just happen to want to eat meat today."
Grandma Fang choked up, her wrinkled face stiffened, and she looked like she wanted to cry but couldn't.
She deliberately didn't leave any other food today, because Shen Qianqian said yesterday she wanted to eat two eggs. What kind of girl wants to eat two eggs in the morning! What a waste!
She intended to punish the other person, but ended up shooting herself in the foot!
Grandma Fang: "You ate such a perfectly good chicken! Do you know how much effort I put into raising it?!"
Shen Qianqian's expression turned cold.
"You'd rather spend so much effort raising livestock than treat your creditor any better? So what if I eat chicken? Why can't I eat something good after I fell and hit my head?"
"If you dare to skimp on my breakfast again tomorrow, I'll kill all the chickens and eat my fill! Give me my money back. I was originally going to give you three days to prepare, but now I don't want to give you even one day. If I don't see the money today, I'll go to the police station, the women's federation, and the commune to make a scene, and while I'm at it, I'll go see your precious grandson at the high school!"
"You, you dare!"
Didn't you say you'd give me three days? Why the sudden change of heart?
Shen Qianqian shoved Old Lady Fang aside, leaving behind a harsh remark: "You'll see if I dare!"
Wan Yindi followed behind Old Lady Fang, secretly smiling.
"Mom, let me see the chicken soup."
Before Old Lady Fang could react, he ran inside. Old Lady Fang couldn't let her sneak a bite, so she followed closely behind. Then, a complete chicken carcass came into their view, with only the chicken neck, the chicken butt, and a little bit of meat left on the carcass.
Looking to the side, the chicken innards, cleaned and settled at the bottom of the pot, could barely be considered a pot of chicken soup.
Grandma Fang's vision went black.
The chickens she raised were killed. She didn't get to eat a single piece of chicken!
I was cooking when there was a knock on the door in the yard.
When Wan Yindi opened the door, he was startled by two police officers in uniform.
Shen Qianqian actually called the police?
Hearing the noise, Grandma Fang grabbed a spatula and went to the door. When she saw the person at the door, she was so frightened that her legs went weak and she dropped the spatula on the ground.
"What...what's the matter?"
There were two police officers, a man and a woman. The woman had a round face and a gentle aura, so she was the one who mainly communicated and spoke with the officers.
"Hello comrades, we're here to see Shen Qianqian. Is she in?"
Grandma Fang wanted to say that she wasn't there, but before she could speak, the small room with the new lock suddenly opened, and the girl with bandages on her head rushed out like a dog that had caught a whiff of something, pushing past her.
"Hello comrade, I'm here!"
Shen Qianqian didn't know why the two policemen were looking for her, but their arrival was timely and perfect; they could scare the old lady Fang and make her return the money quickly!
Shen Qianqian's eyes were red, and tears streamed down her face before she could speak, looking utterly wronged.
Seeing this, the policewoman quickly asked, "Young man, what's wrong?"
Shen Qianqian pursed her lips and shook her head, then suddenly stepped back and bowed, saying solemnly, "I just feel so safe with you all. You have dispelled the darkness and illuminated my future path. I am so grateful to you. When the people have a call, the police respond. You are my heroes!"
The young man's words were quite inspiring; the two policemen blushed, feeling deeply honored as well.
The policewoman looked at her seriously: "We're here to bring you good news. Su Qiang, the educated youth who committed hooliganism, has confessed to his crimes after interrogation. We learned that you worked for him on the farm and were injured as a result. After an agreement, Su Qiang will compensate you for part of your medical expenses and wages. Please take this."
The female police officer took out an envelope and handed it over.
Shen Qianqian took it, pressed it with her finger, and found it to be quite thick.
She blinked and then cried again.
"Thank you so much. It's fortunate we have public servants like you; otherwise, I wouldn't know what to do."
"Alright, without you guys, I'm already a corpse, Meimei..."
The policewoman said sternly, "Young comrade, don't be afraid. If you ever encounter any injustice, you can come and tell us. We serve the people!"
Grandma Fang's face, as red as an orange peel, twitched. Afraid that Shen Qianqian would lose her temper and reveal the truth, she quickly grabbed her shoulders and earnestly advised, "Qianqian, you can tell Grandma anything. Grandma is your family. Your mother isn't here, so I have to take good care of you for her. I'll agree to anything you say!"
Shen Qianqian let out a soft sob and gave Grandma Fang a smile. "Grandma, you're so good to me."
After giving them repeated instructions, the police left the Yu family home.
Once the door is closed, all the right and wrong outside is shut out.
There were only three people in the courtyard. Shen Qianqian stuffed the envelope into her pocket, looked at Grandma Fang, and reached out her hand: "My dear grandma, are you alright?"
