The woman was furious when she saw that not only did no one admit to having taken her chickens, but they also accused her of wrongly accusing someone. She said, "It was your people who stole my chickens. Whoever stole my chickens, please come forward."
If you eat my chicken without saying anything, I will make his descendants childless and his entire family die at noon on the first day of the Lunar New Year!
At first, the woman's curses were acceptable, but later they became unbearable. She threw out all kinds of reproductive organs of three generations of ancestors, and radiated greetings from parents and children in all directions, quoting scriptures.
Chu Jingqiu and Shi Aihong were stunned. This woman could curse people in various ways and be vicious. She was definitely a master in cursing, a fighting cock among roosters!
Chu Jingqiu asked softly, "Sister Pingping, who is this woman? She's such a badass."
Zhang Pingping lowered her voice and said, "This is Yu Dashuan, the wife-beater we heard about yesterday on the loudspeaker. This is Pan Ronggai, the wife of his brother Yu Dazhu."
Shi Aihong said puzzledly: "Why did she come to the gate of our educated youth camp to curse us? We didn't steal her chickens, and yet she cursed us so harshly.
I've never heard of such a curse since I was a child. It makes people feel uncomfortable and it's really unreasonable."
Zhang Pingping and Chu Jingqiu exchanged a glance. "Jingqiu, didn't those people in the front yard stew meat last night? Could it be that they stole Yu Dazhu's chicken? They're up to something sneaky, right?"
At this time, Jiang Qingzhou, Yue Wenbin and Diao Lijun came over pulling a cart of firewood.
Jiang Qingzhou heard Pan Ronggai's scolding and hurried over. "Sister Yu, your chicken is lost and you don't go look for it. Instead, you come to our educated youth camp and scold us. This is outrageous!"
Pan Rongai said with a dark face: "Jiang Zhiqing, I know it is definitely not you who stole the chicken. I don't want to do this. Fatty said that she smelled the aroma of the stewed chicken ordered by you Zhiqing last night.
My second son saw the big black guy from your educated youth camp circling in front of our house several times, and then our chicken was lost. It must have been stolen by him or someone else.
Jiang Qingzhou smiled and said, "Sister Yu, we did stew chicken last night at the educated youth camp, but it was a pheasant that educated youth Diao and Yue hunted in the mountains, not your old hen."
Pan Ronggai said hurriedly, "I've looked everywhere I could, but I can't find it. Can you let me see the chicken feathers you plucked? That way I can confirm if it's our lost chicken."
Diao Lijun and Yue Wenbin also came over. They put the cart down. Jiang Qingzhou looked at Diao Lijun and said, "Lijun, this sister-in-law suspects that the chicken we ate last night was hers. Let's ask her to see the chicken feathers to prove that it wasn't hers. Where did you bury the chicken feathers last night?"
Diao Lijun said impatiently: "I didn't steal her chicken. I caught it in the reed marsh. How did it become her chicken? She must be deliberately blackmailing me!"
Pan Ronggai said without showing any weakness: "My family lives right there, and our chickens often run around there. Can't you tell the difference between wild chickens and domestic chickens? You stole our chickens, and you're quite right!"
Diao Lijun glared at Pan Ronggai and said, "Sister-in-law, let me tell you, I really didn't steal your chicken.
I've only been here a few days since I came from Beijing, and I saw those two chickens running around in the reed marsh. How would I know if they were domestic chickens? I caught them in the reed marsh, not stole them from your house."
Pan Ronggai insisted, "Then show me the chicken feathers. If it's not from our chicken, I'll go look for it in the reed marsh. But if it is, you have to compensate me."
Diao Lijun took a shovel and dug under the tree beside the wall, revealing the feathers of a egret chicken.
Pan Ronggai's eyes lit up, "This is our family's Reed Chicken, what else do you have to say now?"
Jiang Qingzhou was also a little embarrassed, and he hurried to smooth things over, "Mrs. Yu, you see, we educated youth have never stolen anything from the villagers in these years.
This must be a misunderstanding. Diao Zhiqing didn't know that the chickens in the reed marsh were raised by your family.
Look, we'll give you some money based on the village price as if we're buying these two chickens, okay?"
Pan Ronggai sighed, "Forget it, it's not easy for you guys either, we've already eaten it. I've asked around, and an old hen costs 1.3 yuan per pound at the supply and marketing cooperative, and you need a ticket.
We are all from the same village, so I don’t want your tickets. Just give me one dollar and three cents per pound.
My two chickens are both quite fat, each weighing at least three pounds. You can give them as much as you like!
Diao Lijun's tone softened considerably. "Sister Yu, I'm sorry. I'll give you 10 yuan! The rest is my apology."
Pan Ronggai said with a smile, "Thank you, Diao Zhiqing. I shouldn't have scolded you just now. I apologize to you."
Chu Jingqiu thought that the turmoil caused by the two chickens was over, but he didn't expect that these two chickens would cause the front yard to be torn apart.
While knitting a sweater in the afternoon, Shi Aihong vividly reported what happened in the front yard.
She smiled and said, "I just asked Zhou Weidong, and he told me that we will share the meals in the front yard, and we will build another stove next to it tomorrow.
During lunch, Jiang Qingzhou suggested that everyone share the ten dollars for the chicken since everyone had eaten chicken last night.
In the end, everyone had different opinions. Some agreed to share the food equally; others said that the chicken was not distributed evenly when they ate it last night.
Because it was Diao Lijun who caught the chicken, he, Zhao Yaru and Yue Wenbin ate a chicken alone last night.
Others only ate a piece of meat and drank some chicken soup at most, so it shouldn't be divided equally.
Jiang Qingzhou meant that Diao Lijun and his friends used to hunt wild animals frequently, and they had a lot to eat. They couldn't stop paying just because of this one mistake.
Several people could not reach a consensus and were arguing fiercely. Later, Zhao Yaru suggested that she, Yue Wenbin and Diao Lijun would pay five dollars, and the rest would be shared equally by the others.
Diao Lijun later suggested cooking alone and not eating with everyone.
The final result was that Diao Lijun, Zhao Yaru, Yue Wenbin and Qiao Rucheng who was studying outside, the four of them cooked separately.
Chu Jingqiu's focus was not on the issue of them cooking alone, but on the issue of Diao Lijun stealing the chicken.
Diao Lijun sneaked into her room and rummaged around yesterday morning, and stole someone else's chicken at night. Is he just a thief who comes to her room just to steal things?
She still suspected that Diao Lijun was no ordinary person. A thief who could open the lock silently and use the theft techniques to the extreme was at least a habitual criminal.
Such a person can't even tell the difference between domestic chickens and pheasants, and he was caught red-handed afterwards. It's unacceptable not to destroy the evidence!
Just when she was puzzled, something strange happened to Xiao Yihan.
