After Mrs. Wang left, Mrs. Wang slammed the door shut.
"Ah, what bullshit good fortune? Who would believe you, huh?"
The next day, Zhang Dahu and several others continued to carry tools to build the fence. Before dark, the fence was finally completed. As usual, Jiang Tuantuan gave each of them fifty cents.
Unexpectedly, he could earn fifty cents in these two days. Goudan excitedly ran to the butcher's house at the village entrance to buy meat.
I happened to see the village's second beggar arguing with someone, "Let me borrow money again today, I promise to pay it back tomorrow."
"If it weren't for the friendship between your father and me, I wouldn't give you a single piece of meat. If you don't get out of here, I'll use the butcher knife in my hand to kill you." Butcher Zhang raised the knife in his hand. He had a murderous aura because he had been killing pigs and sheep for many years. He was so scared that his legs trembled and he ran away immediately.
Goudan walked over, bought half a chicken, and then asked, "Butcher Zhang, why are you so angry today?"
Butcher Zhang put his hands on his hips, his eyes blazing with fire. "That little bastard, a while ago he wanted to eat meat but had no money, so I gave him half a chicken on credit. And yesterday he came back and asked for beef to go with the wine, and he even wanted to buy it on credit."
"Then you gave it to him."
"Of course not. It was a charity for my family, but this little bastard actually sneaked in at night and tried to steal my chickens, but was discovered by my dog, Da Huang."
Goudanlie grinned, "How dare he come here today? He really has no shame."
The agreed day arrived, and Erjin brought some people and entered the village with several carts full of chickens, three cows and two sheep.
This action attracted the whole village. The children saw so many chickens for the first time and followed excitedly. Jiang Lao Da's son Hong'er also joined the crowd.
When Er Jin saw Jiang Tuantuan, he was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes. "Miss Jiang, if you hadn't come, I would have been surrounded by the villagers."
Jiang Tuantuan felt a little embarrassed when he saw the villagers following behind him.
"These are thirty breeding chickens and fifty ordinary chickens. Here are three cows, two males and one female, and two sheep of different breeds, right? Miss Jiang, please take a look."
Jiang Tuantuan counted the money quickly, and after confirming that it was correct, he handed the money to Erjin according to the agreed price.
Because of Mr. Zhou's words, the cost this time was very low. A breeding chicken was only thirty-five cents, an ordinary chicken was twenty cents, three cows were only twelve taels of silver, plus two sheep, the total cost was twenty-five taels of silver.
Jiang Tuantuan took out another fifty coins and handed them to Erjin. "Thank you, Butler Jin, for bringing this all the way here. This small amount of money is just a treat for you to have some tea."
Er Jin took the money with a smile and said, "Don't worry, Miss Jiang, this is what I should do."
After Erjin left, the villagers came forward and said, "Tuantuan, your family has become rich. It must have cost a lot of money to buy so many chickens and cows. We usually only have two or three chickens."
Jiang Tuantuan's mind raced, "A few days ago, I took my father to the county town for medical treatment. I met a kind man who felt sorry for my family and gave him some money. I used it all to buy these chickens."
Jiang Tuantuan forced a few tears and said, "Everyone knows that my father's leg is injured and he can't do heavy work. My brother-in-law is the only male in the family. We don't have any land to grow wheat, only this barren mountain. I hope these chickens can lay more eggs in the future so that we can sell them for food."
Jiang Tuantuan was wiping away tears as he spoke. Everyone originally felt a little unbalanced that his family had so many chickens, but after listening to Jiang Tuantuan's complaints, they felt that their own lives were pretty good.
Everyone turned to look at Jiang Hong, who quickly waved his hands, "It was my father who made the decision to split up the family. It has nothing to do with me. Why are you looking at me?"
After saying that, he ran back home and the villagers dispersed.
After seeing off a large group of people, Jiang Tuantuan asked Jiang Li to feed the chickens, and he ran to the two sheep. While Jiang Li was not paying attention, he quickly put the two sheep and a cow into the space.
Jiang Tuantuan is very anxious to earn points. The points for the fish came out a few days ago, but there were only 500, which is too little.
When Jiang Li finished feeding the chickens and was about to feed the sheep grass, he found that the sheep were missing.
"Sister Tuantuan, Sister Tuantuan, something bad has happened, the sheep and cattle are lost," Jiang Li shouted anxiously.
"It's not lost. I let it go."
Jiang Li was a little confused. How could something he spent so much money on be put away? This was so strange. Jiang Tuantuan didn't want to explain too much, fearing that he would be exposed, so he quickly ran back to the house.
Seeing Sister Tuantuan leaving, Jiang Li was afraid that some chickens had been released as well, so he quickly squatted on the ground and counted them one by one, but he could not count any further after ten.
Jiang Dafeng moved out of the house little by little with a wooden stick, and happened to see Jiang Li who was troubled by counting.
"Jiangli, come here quickly, I will teach you how to count."
"Really, Uncle Jiang? I'm not smart, but I will study hard." Jiang Li was very excited.
Jiang Dafeng first taught Jiang Li to write his name. Jiang Li took a wooden stick and poked and drew on the ground. After writing for a long time, he finally wrote it down by copying.
Jiang Li started learning how to count from one to one hundred. He was afraid that he would forget, so he kept counting, even while eating.
After dinner, I squatted on the ground and counted chickens from one to fifty.
"Sister Tuantuan, I feel like the more I count a number, the less I recognize it. What should I do? Am I stupid?" Jiang Li wrinkled his face in distress.
Jiang Tuantuan hit Jiang Li in the face and said, "What are you thinking about? You've memorized too much. Just go to bed early."
"Okay, I'll go to bed now."
Why is this kid so stubborn?
Because he went to bed too early last night, Jiang Li got up before dawn, started to boil water and cook, went to the hillside to pick tender grass, and fed the three cows at home. After doing all this, he squatted on the ground and counted the chickens.
One, two, three...forty-nine. Why is there one chicken missing? Did I count wrong?
After counting over and over again, Jiang Li felt that either the chickens were secretly released by Sister Tuantuan, or he was just stupid and counted wrong.
After breakfast, Jiang Li quickly called Jiang Tuantuan to count the chickens. Jiang Tuantuan found that there was indeed one missing.
"The chickens at home were stolen!"
Feng Xiaoli was very angry. "How come there are still people stealing chickens now? This is too much."
Jiang Tuantuan felt that he was careless. Since they came to steal the first one, they would definitely come to steal the second one. He just had to sit back and wait.
"Host, host, the points are out. There are a lot this time, a total of 3,000 points."
"Okay, I understand. Is there any movement over at the Trade Mall?"
The elf said: "The hosts in various dimensions are urging you to sell your chickens. Host, please sell them quickly. You can't let them down."
Jiang Tuantuan put the four chickens into the space and put them on the trading mall.
