Chapter 8 Stealing Chickens
Yuan Xiao took out the medicine, which had instructions on how to take it and how much to take at a time.
There was also a small bag underneath, which contained a few ginseng slices.
This was rare, and she was thinking about returning the money to Zhao Youliang tomorrow.
She prepared the chicken and bamboo shoots, and boiled the bracken and soaked it overnight to eat tomorrow.
The chicken was used to stew the ginseng slices, and the bamboo shoots were used to make a cold salad. It was rare to have both vegetables and meat in the countryside.
She put the chicken in the pot and stewed it, and she vaguely heard a sound in the room.
She guessed that Wang Yazhi had woken up, so she wiped her hands and hurried out.
"Mom, don't get up!" She saw Wang Yazhi pushing herself out of bed, and hurriedly shouted.
Wang Yazhi was still dizzy. When she saw Yuanxiao, tears welled up in her eyes, "Xiaoxiao, are you okay?"
Yuanxiao helped her and lay back on the kang, "It's okay after you sweat. You lie down and rest first. I'll bring you the meal when it's ready."
Wang Yazhi heard about cooking and struggled to get up again, "Mom will cook, Mom will cook!"
"No need, I'm almost done! Mom, I'm lucky. I picked up a chicken in the mountains. I'll make you chicken soup."
Wang Yazhi looked at Yuanxiao with tears in her eyes. Not only was her skin dark, but her eyes were also dark, but they were very bright and crystal clear.
"Okay, mom is waiting for chicken soup."
"Then you sleep a little longer. I'll wake you up after dinner, and you can take the medicine after dinner."
The chicken in the kitchen began to stew and emit a fragrant aroma. Yuan Xiao could smell it from a distance.
She hadn't seen any fishy smell since coming here, and she hadn't eaten anything since this morning. She was
so greedy that her mouth was watering. Yuan Xiao carefully skimmed off the foam on the surface and heard the door ring again.
She sighed and went to open the door again, day after day, endlessly.
To her surprise, this time it was Cheng Feng.
"Is there something wrong?" She and Cheng Feng didn't interact much, and only met a few times.
Cheng Feng smelled it and couldn't help swallowing her saliva, "It smells so good, Yuan Xiao, what delicious food are you making?"
The chicken was for Wang Yazhi, and Yuan Xiao didn't want to share it with others. He blocked the door and didn't intend to let Cheng Feng in.
"Nothing, do you have something to do?"
Cheng Feng said embarrassedly, secretly cursing Yuan Xiao for being stingy.
She was an educated youth who went to the countryside, and she ate the big pot of rice provided by the team. It was okay if there was no oil, but she couldn't even eat a piece of meat for a month.
"It's okay, I just came to see Aunt Yazhi."
"My mother hasn't woken up yet, she's asleep."
The implication was that you can leave.
Until Yuan Xiao closed the door, Cheng Feng's feet seemed to be stuck, and she didn't want to leave at all.
She stood at the door for a long time, and she was too embarrassed to ask Yuan Xiao for food, so she had to leave.
Halfway through the journey, she turned her head and took a distant look at Yuan Xiao's house, frowning as she walked.
Before she knew it, she had reached the door of Old Yuan's house.
"Grandma Liu, are you sharpening your knife?" Cheng Feng greeted Liu Zhaodi.
Liu Zhaodi responded, but she had no good feelings for this kind of young lady from the city.
"Grandma Liu, you are so kind to your Yuan Xiao!" Cheng Feng said to herself.
Even though Liu Zhaodi was uneducated, she could understand what Cheng Feng said, and thought that Cheng Feng was mocking her. She raised the knife in her hand, "You little girl, how can you talk like that?"
Cheng Feng stepped back in fear, fearing that she would not hold it firmly and the knife would come towards her.
"Grandma Liu, Yuanxiao is stewing a chicken. It smells so good. Didn't you give it to him?"
She said this and ran away. She was full of disdain for Liu Zhaodi, an ignorant country woman!
Liu Zhaodi was stunned for a moment, and hurried to see if the chickens in the chicken coop were still there.
After counting them twice, she found that one was missing.
She picked up the fire stick, cursed, and ran to the village entrance.
At that time, Yuanxiao had just stewed the chicken, and before he could serve it, he heard the door being kicked open with a bang.
The door of this house was broken and tattered, not to mention that it had no lock, but it was good enough to block the wind.
Yuanxiao realized that the visitor had bad intentions, so he put all the things into the space and walked out.
She first closed the door of Wang Yazhi's bedroom and saw Liu Zhaodi rummaging around in the house.
Yuan Xiao's face darkened, he picked up the stick and shouted, "Liu Zhaodi! Get out of here!"
Liu Zhaodi gestured with the fire stick, "You damn bastard, how dare you steal my chicken! Give my chicken back to me, or I'll beat you to death!" As
soon as she finished speaking, she heard Lin Yongsheng's voice coming from the door, "You're not done yet, are you!"
Liu Zhaodi trembled and couldn't even hold the fire stick.
Lin Yongsheng walked in, furious, "When we get back later, I'll ask Uncle Gen to divorce you! We in Dayang Village can't afford such a capable woman!"
Liu Zhaodi was not afraid of anything except Yuan Shugen divorcing his wife, so she cried to Lin Yongsheng, "Captain! This loser stole my chicken, and our whole family depends on this chicken for laying eggs! How can I live if she stole the chicken!"
Yuan Xiao put down his stick and stepped aside, "Go in and look for it. If you can find the chicken, I'll let you beat and scold me! But if you can't find it, don't even think about letting it go today!"
Seeing her clear conscience, Liu Zhaodi hesitated for a moment, but soon made up her mind.
That's right, she must have stolen it!
Cheng Feng, the educated youth, said that she was stewing the chicken!
She walked inside with a fire stick. There was only a stove in the kitchen, and nothing inside.
She could see at a glance whether there was a chicken or not.
Liu Zhaodi went to where Wang Yazhi slept with a gloomy face.
Yuan Xiao hesitated for a moment, "My mother is resting in there, what do you want to do?"
Liu Zhaodi spat, "Who knows if you are hiding in there!"
With a creak, the door opened.
Wang Yazhi came out holding the wall, "Look, look, see if my Xiao'er stole your chicken!"
Her forehead was still wrapped in gauze, and her face was pale. Even Lin Yongsheng
couldn't bear to see it. Liu Zhaodi didn't feel sorry for her. She walked in and looked around, even turning over the quilt, but couldn't find it.
Seeing that she had messed up the few things in Yuan Xiao's house, Lin Yongsheng couldn't stand it anymore and roared: "Liu Zhaodi, that's enough! You are really going too far!"
Liu Zhaodi felt embarrassed and angry, and she wanted to skin Cheng Feng alive in her heart!
"It was... Cheng Zhiqing who told me that they were stewing chicken."
Yuan Xiao's eyelids moved, his eyes were cold, Cheng Feng?
Lin Yongsheng was still furious. He gritted his teeth and put his hands behind his back, "You reminded me to catch a hen from your house and give it to Yuan Xiao!"
"Why?" Liu Zhaodi retorted.
There were only three hens in her family, and now one was missing. Should I catch another one for them?
Liu Zhaodi slapped her thigh and sat on the ground, "My life is miserable! Yuan Man's wife and children are unfilial, and now they are still plotting against me! I'm going to die! I'm going to hit my head against the wall!" Lin Yongsheng
didn't buy her tricks. He pointed at the wall and said angrily, "Hit it! If you hit your head against the wall and die here today, I, Lin Yongsheng, will pay for your funeral!"
