"Mom...what are you doing..."
Before Ke Xin could finish her words, her mother rushed to the next door in a hurry, holding a stick, followed by Jiang Yongtian, Jiang Xin, Jiang Shan, Jiang Hui...
More than ten people ran away. Ke Xin wanted to cry but had no tears. If she had known that there would be a bloody disaster today, she would not have caught any chickens. She did not care about anything else and hurried to the next door. She was really afraid that her mother would be killed by Li Dong'er.
As soon as he rushed into the yard, he saw his mother grabbing Li Dong'er's head and slapping her face: "You shameless beast, my family has raised chickens for five or six years, and you actually had the heart to eat it. You shameless thing, compensate me for the chicken, wuwuwu..."
Li Dong'er howled and shouted, "I didn't steal it. My husband bought it. It's not your chicken."
"Bullshit, how could I not recognize my chicken? The feathers on the ground are clearly my chicken!" Ge Shuzhen felt even more distressed when she saw the pile of red chicken feathers on the ground, and she hit it harder: "My family is so poor that we can barely survive, but I never thought of eating it. You little bastard, you sold Su Yan for thirty-five taels and you're still not satisfied. You even stole my chicken to eat the meat. You're trying to kill me. I'm going to fight you."
There was a popping sound, and Ke Xin felt creepy when she heard it.
However, seeing a pool of blood and a pile of red and black chicken feathers on the ground, and a fat, featherless, gutted chicken lying in the basin, Ke Xin was dumbfounded. Could it be that the chicken flew out of the space?
But in front of these people, how could she dare to disappear on the spot and go into the space to check the situation?
The village chief rushed over upon hearing the noise. Looking at the pool of blood, feathers, and chicken on the ground, Jiang Wuli frowned helplessly: "Stop it, what's going on? Someone tell me."
Ge Shuzhen cried, "Dad, Li Dong'er stole my Dahong and was about to destroy the body when I caught her."
"I didn't steal it. My husband bought the chicken. If you don't believe me, ask him."
Li Dong'er, who was beaten, immediately refuted and shouted at Ge Shuzhen with great momentum. Su Qi, who was standing in the corner of the yard with a messy black hair, said: "Come here and explain clearly that it was you who bought our chicken."
The Jiang family and the villagers who came to watch the fun all looked at Su Qi.
Hu Shunzi looked at him trembling and said angrily, "It's shameful for a grown man to be so timid."
"If you're not a coward, would your own sister be sold?" Wang Xiu echoed her man.
The couple's conversation aroused the villagers' opinions on the Su family.
Zhang Ju sneered, "Although our village isn't wealthy, we've never had any thefts. Even when we were at our poorest, we never sold our children. These outsiders have broken our village's rules. We don't want villagers like them."
"That's right, we don't want people like the village chief. Drive him away."
"Drive them away! Our village doesn't want such a family. If word gets out, our village will be embarrassed. Then it will be hard for the girls in our village to get married. When the boys are looking for marriage partners, if they mention that our village is full of thieves and cheaters, who would dare to marry someone from our village?"
After one or two people expressed their opinions, the people who were originally watching the fun immediately followed suit and the calls to drive them away became louder.
Jiang Wuli raised his arm and said, "Let's hear what Su Qi has to say. Where did you buy this chicken? Who is the seller? As long as you can tell us everything and shut up the villagers, we won't chase you away. If you can't tell us, then you stole the chicken. No matter whose house it was, we in Anjia Village will never let you stay."
Li Dong'er's swollen face was red and painful. Seeing that the village chief and the villagers were serious this time, she hurriedly pulled Su Qi over and said, "Tell me, who did you buy it from?"
Su Qi trembled and opened his mouth: "Bought..."
"Hurry up and tell me, you spent thirty cents on this one, why are you hesitating?" Li Dong'er slapped him hard under the arm, feeling anxious for him.
Su Qi lowered his head even lower. Seeing his cowardly look, Jiang Wuli's brows furrowed even deeper. "Logically speaking, your family sold Su Yan and got thirty-five taels of silver. It's nothing to spend a few copper coins to buy a chicken. You wouldn't steal it, right? Tell me, Su Qi, where did this chicken come from?"
Su Qi wanted to say that he stole the money from Zhang Ju, the widow, but he was afraid that Zhang Ju would hit him. If Li Dong'er asked where the thirty cents went, he would not dare to say that he gave it to the widow in the next village. Anyway, he was inseparable from the widow.
Therefore, he turned the tables and let Li Dong'er be beaten by Ge Shuzhen, and he didn't want Zhang Ju's slap to fall on himself. Anyway, Li Dong'er had already been beaten, so he might as well take the blame.
Seeing that Su Qi still had no intention of speaking, Jiang Wuli said sternly again: "If you really don't tell me, then I will conclude that you stole the chicken. I'll give you one more chance. Speak."
Li Dong'er now understood clearly. If the chicken was bought, why would he not dare to admit it?
Seeing this, it was obvious that the chicken was stolen. Li Dong'er wanted to cry and slapped him twice: "You rotten thing, you could steal from anyone else but this crazy woman's."
When Ge Shuzhen heard the scolding, she took a step forward and said, "Who are you calling crazy? You are the crazy one, and you are also a thief."
Li Dong'er didn't care about Su Qi's thirty coins. She turned around and knelt down towards Ge Shuzhen. "Auntie, I didn't know this was yours. Can I give you a hundred coins? I'll buy it, okay?"
Ge Shuzhen finally heard her admit it, and she nearly broke her teeth. She spat at her, all the new and old hatreds surging in her heart: "Get lost, does my family need your hundred coins?"
He dared to cheat her daughter out of thirty-five taels. Today, she must avenge her daughter and the Big Red Chicken: "Get out of Anjia Village immediately. We don't allow thieves in our village."
