Chapter 19 There are always dogs coming to steal
While he was thinking, a rustling sound was heard.
The sound came from far away and seemed to be moving very quickly. Before Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun could see clearly what was running past their feet, they heard a "bang" and a big gray rabbit crashed into a thick bamboo in front of them.
The rabbit fell on its back, bounced twice and then became motionless, dead.
this……
Suddenly, I got two rabbits for free! Song Jingyun picked up the rabbits happily and said, "I'm so lucky today. I can have two meals of braised rabbit meat."
"Yeah, I'm really lucky." Jiang Mixia nodded in agreement, but she felt that the luck was a little unreal.
Because I was just too lucky.
How is this different from pie in the sky? And it fell so suddenly...
But then again, since God is so kind to feed them, they will just take it.
After all, no one can resist a pot of delicious rabbit meat.
Jiang Mixia didn't think too much about it. She just tied the feet of the two rabbits with hemp rope, held the rabbits in one hand and the bamboo in the other and walked towards the cart.
Song Jingyun also carried two bamboos on his back.
As soon as the two men walked out of the bamboo forest, they met the eldest son of the second wife, Jiang Chunhe.
Jiang Chunhe was carrying a bow and arrow and came out from the direction of the mountains. It was obvious that he had just come out of the mountains after hunting.
But I came back empty-handed, as if I had gained nothing.
When Jiang Chunhe saw Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun, his face suddenly fell.
Jiang Chunhe doesn't like having a third wife.
The reason was that when my grandfather had not yet divided the family property, my third uncle Jiang Youcheng was a very selfish man. He never handed over all the money he earned from weaving baskets to the public, let alone spend it on his two nephews, Jiang Chunbao, but kept it for himself.
He also said that he would save the money for Jiang Mixia for future use.
Jiang Chunhe felt that this was nonsense. A little girl was a money-losing commodity. When she got married, she would become someone else's family member. Leaving money for her to rely on, wasn't it obvious that he was using the family's money to subsidize someone from an outsider?
The elbows are really bent outward.
Moreover, when the family was dividing up, Jiang Youcheng even begged for the five acres of land from his family.
I really don't know why Jiang Youcheng is so shameless. His family doesn't even have any descendants, but he has the nerve to ask for the family's land. Isn't this equivalent to snatching food from his nephew's mouth? After all, he is still an uncle.
This time again.
He made money by weaving bamboo baskets, and took over such a big business from the tea garden. He didn't care about his nephew and grandson from the second house, but only invited Jiang Chunshi and Fang, who only gave birth to a money-losing child, to work at home, and then only gave them a share of the money. Isn't this unfair? I was puzzled. Where in the world can there be such an unworthy uncle? Jiang Chunhe became more and more unhappy as he thought about it, and he didn't even want to say hello to Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun.
Jiang Mixia naturally knew that the relationship between the two families was not harmonious. Seeing that Jiang Chunhe ignored them, she was happy and at ease, and just took the things and walked towards the cart.
"You two stop." Jiang Chunhe suddenly spoke.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?" Hearing Jiang Chunhe's unfriendly tone, Jiang Mixia didn't even want to call him "Second Brother". He just looked at him with raised eyebrows.
"Where did the rabbit come from?" Jiang Chunhe asked.
Jiang Mixia, "Just had a fight in the bamboo forest."
"You fought in the bamboo forest? You're just lying. The rabbits in this mountain are so cunning that they'll disappear at the slightest noise. How can you fight rabbits while cutting bamboo? Who are you trying to fool?"
Jiang Chunhe didn't believe it at all.
He went into the mountains before dawn and has been busy until now, for most of the afternoon, but he hasn't even hunted a pheasant.
He was a serious hunter and had no catch, so how could these two people who didn't know how to hunt easily catch two such fat rabbits in the bamboo forest?
What's more, Jiang Mixia used to be a fool, and Song Jingyun was thin and timid, which made it even more impossible.
But to be honest, he did see rabbits in the mountains at that time.
I wanted to shoot the rabbit's eye with an arrow so that I could peel off a whole rabbit skin and have a meal of rabbit meat and sell the skin. However, the arrow missed the target and the rabbit got frightened and ran away, and several rabbits fled everywhere.
Now look at the two rabbits in Jiang Mixia's hands. One of them obviously died by hitting its head.
So...
He must have scared the rabbit, causing it to run around and crash into the place, allowing Jiang Mixia to take advantage of it!
The more Jiang Chunhe thought about it, the more he felt that he stretched out his hand to Jiang Mixia, "Bring the rabbit here!"
"Why?" Jiang Mixia was very angry when she saw Jiang Chunhe snatching the rabbit without saying anything. "This is our rabbit. Why should I give it to you?"
"Your rabbit? This is the rabbit I was chasing in the mountains just now. It ran here and crashed into the ground and died. You took advantage of me and you're asking why?" Jiang Chunhe shouted loudly.
"That's really interesting. You said you were the one chasing him, so it's you? Who saw you chasing him? You said it's you? Where is the evidence?"
Jiang Mixia's words were like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube, crackling, and Jiang Chunhe, who was questioning her, couldn't say a word.
After a moment, he rolled his eyes and sneered, "You said you were the one who hit the rabbit? Who saw it? Where did you get the evidence?"
Seeing this, Song Jingyun wanted to speak.
Jiang Chunhe rushed back and said, "You two are husband and wife, so you must be on my side. Your words don't count!"
"I'm also very busy here, you better return the rabbit to me quickly. If you don't, I will take you two to find the village head and let him make the decision for me. It will also be a good opportunity for the whole Jiangjia Village to see what kind of black-hearted people you two are!"
Go see the village head?
Each side has its own story and there are no witnesses. It is easy to say whether one of the two rabbits has marks from a machete, but it is difficult to say whether the other one has marks from a machete.
When a dispute arises, for the sake of fairness, the rabbits will most likely be confiscated and no one will get a share.
Jiang Mixia was heartbroken that she had been so lucky to find a rabbit and lost it for nothing.
But right now Jiang Chunhe is really being unreasonable...
As the saying goes, when pie falls from the sky, there are always dogs to grab it! Jiang Mixia's anger almost surged to her chest. She looked around and asked, "Second brother came to hunt alone?"
Jiang Chunhe was just talking about the rabbits. When Jiang Mixia suddenly asked an irrelevant question, he was slightly stunned. "Of course I went alone. I usually go hunting alone."
Who is like you two? You two are like hanging on each other's belts all day long. Song Jingyun doesn't act like a man at all. It's so embarrassing.
"Stop talking nonsense and return the rabbit to me immediately, or I will..."
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Chunhe took two steps back and looked at Jiang Mixia, who had put down the rabbit and bamboo and rolled up her sleeves, walking towards him step by step, with a vigilant look on his face, "You, what do you want to do?"
"Nothing, I just want to have a good talk with my second brother about this rabbit matter." Jiang Mixia chuckled and pulled Jiang Chunhe into the bamboo forest.
