Chapter 465 Here we go again - The sickly young lady eating melons in the courtyard
Everyone gradually realized the weirdness of Aunt Hua. After all, no one had ever met someone who sold chickens so cheaply!
But everyone tacitly agreed not to mention it, after all, they were the ones who were benefiting.
Although every family in the compound bought a lot of chickens, none of them killed and ate them immediately, except for the Cen family.
Lin's mother boiled water and killed two chickens that day. She planned to eat one in the evening and the other the next day!
"Oh, Aunt Lin, your family is well-off! Just kill two chickens!" Aunt Su said sarcastically at the door again.
Mother Lin was plucking the feathers of a chicken at the door when she heard what Aunt Su said. She couldn't help but roll her eyes.
She did not give a direct answer, but said: "Auntie Su, if I don't kill this chicken, do I have to wait for it to become hungry and thin? Or do you plan to feed this chicken with food for a few more days?" Can you bear to do that?
Aunt Su's heart skipped a beat. Yes, if she wasn't going to kill the chicken, did she intend to keep it alive?
This is not a hen, what's the point of raising it?
If you don’t know how to take care of it, it will definitely become hungry and thin if you leave it for a few more days!
No, if I get hungry and lose weight, I’ll lose a lot of meat, right?
At this time, Aunt Su didn't care about any sour words, and directly called Qin Xianglian out of the house, "Xiao Lian, quickly boil some water and kill the two chickens. Don't let them get too hungry!"
Mother Lin and Aunt Su were talking loudly, and many people in the yard heard it. They also began to think about what Mother Lin said.
Yes! This chicken is fresh if it is killed two days later, but if you don’t feed it, it will definitely become hungry and thin!
No, no, how can this be possible?
They immediately stopped caring about jealousy and envy and started to boil water and kill chickens.
Mother Lin did not lie. If she was not afraid of attracting attention, she really wanted to kill all eleven chickens.
Although everyone in the yard knew how many she bought, killing them all at once would still attract attention, so she gave up the idea.
This has now become a common sight in the compound, everyone is busy killing chickens, steam is rising from the doors of every household, the children in the yard are now on holiday, each of them is taking the chicken feathers they have killed, planning to make shuttlecocks to play with!
The children of the Li family also ran to Lin's mother to ask for chicken tail feathers. Lin's mother gave them to them without hesitation, "Here, these are for you!"
"Thank you, Aunt Lin!"
"No, no, go play!"
"Oh yeah!"
After a while, a group of children ran out. They planned to go to the nearby scrapyard to see if there were any discarded tires. The hard tire skin was a good material for making the bottom of the shuttlecock.
On this day, the Cen family cooked some chicken soup, and the whole yard was filled with the aroma. In the houses with children, the children started crying again!
"Chinese New Year is coming in a few days, I will cook for you!"
"I want it now!"
"No, no, I said no! I've eaten it now, what will I eat during the New Year?"
There were also some who felt sorry for the children and cut some chicken to cook, but most of them were hard-hearted and were not as generous as the Cen family who gave eleven chickens at once, so they had to wait until the Chinese New Year to eat them.
The next day, Lin's father and mother did not go out. They planned to kill all the chickens at home. They had nothing to feed them, and if they waited any longer, the chickens would really become hungry and thin!
Father Lin originally planned to build a coop and raise the chickens first, but Mother Lin rejected the idea as soon as she heard it. They really had nothing to feed the chickens and could not raise them at all.
Mother Lin clapped her hands and made a decision, "Let's kill him in the house!" It would be too conspicuous outside!
"Okay! Then I'll go boil some water!" The stove in the room lit up, the kang became warm, and the room became warm too!
Mother Lin took a large bowl, added some water, and then deftly cut the throats of the remaining chickens.
By the time the water boiled, all the chickens had been killed!
Lin's mother killed the chicken directly in the small bathroom in the house. Although the place was not large, there was a water outlet, so she was not worried about getting the house wet.
"Sister Qin, Sister Qin! Come on, that girl is here again!" Aunt Li's voice came from outside the house.
When Lin's mother heard Aunt Li's voice, she wiped her hands and came out of the house. "What?"
"It's the girl who sold chickens yesterday!" Aunt Li pulled Mother Lin aside and whispered, "She's selling fish today!!!"
"Fish?" Lin's mother was shocked again!
Who exactly is Aunt Hua?
If we can get chickens, we can also get fish?
“Is this true or false?”
"Of course it's true!"
"Let's go, what are you waiting for?" Mother Lin hurried back to the house to get the money, and when she came out she ran after Aunt Li!
Father Lin was helping in the bathroom when he saw Mother Lin hurried in and left. "Hey, what's wrong?"
No one answered him.
Every household in the yard was present, and all the housewives who stayed at home went.
"Sister, how much do you want for this fish?" Aunt Li and Mother Lin quickly rushed to the front.
"Two yuan for the big one and one yuan for the small one!" Aunt Hua still set the price very casually.
Mrs. Li and Mrs. Lin were so happy, but they tried their best to suppress their joy. Mrs. Lin started to bargain, "Sister, can you give me a discount since I bought too much?"
When Aunt Hua saw Mother Lin, she recognized her as the one who had bargained with her yesterday, and said with a smile, "Of course, just like yesterday, buy ten and get one free!"
"Okay, okay!" Lin's mother was happy, and everyone else was happy too!
Mother Lin quickly pulled out eleven big fish. Yes, Mother Lin caught ten more at once. "Here, twenty yuan!"
After Lin's mother stuffed the money into Aunt Hua's hand, she ran out immediately. After a while, Aunt Li and Aunt Sui also came out. Together they bought eleven fish.
After buying, the three of them did not stay and left quickly!
Aunt Hua has become famous in Guihua Lane. Everyone in the lane has come running over, and no one returns empty-handed. If they didn’t buy yesterday’s chicken, they can’t miss today’s fish.
Not long after Lin's mother came back, she heard Aunt Li calling her again.
"What's wrong?"
Aunt Li said with a hint of schadenfreude in her tone, "Aunt Hua is in trouble with Old Lady Liu!"
She also noticed that something was wrong with Aunt Hua. She was so obsessed with the cheap chicken yesterday that she didn't think too much about it. But looking back, she still felt that Aunt Hua was a little strange.
They were actually a little bit happy that such a person of unknown origin was harassed by the old rogue in their alley.
"Let's go and take a look!" Mother Lin was also very curious.
The two of them left together again, leaving Lin's father alone to continue plucking the chickens in the house.
"Oh~" He also wanted to go and see.
Mother Lin and Mother Li soon arrived at the alley again.
Many people were watching the excitement and formed a big circle around it. Mother Lin and Aunt Li stood on tiptoe and looked inside.
Oh wow! The one rolling around inside was none other than Granny Liu.
