Ma Xiaolan also saw it and ran over.
Ye Qing hugged Zhou Zhou, who was looking into the well, and said with a stern face, "Zhou Zhou, didn't mom just tell you not to go near this place? Why did you come over here? It's very dangerous here."
Zhou Zhou pointed at the well and said, "Mom...water..."
"Mom knows where the water is."
Ma Xiaolan also hugged Youyou. After hearing Zhou Zhou's words, she hesitated and said, "Sister Ye Qing, does Zhou Zhou want to drink some water?"
A question mark appeared in Ye Qing's mind, and he looked at Zhou Zhou, "Zhou Zhou, do you want some water?"
Zhou Zhou nodded heavily.
Ye Qing smiled.
Ma Xiaolan also smiled, "Sister Ye Qing, please take care of Zhou Zhou You You. I'll go into the house and get a glass of water."
Ye Qing waved to Youyou, "Youyou, come to mommy. Do you want some water?"
Youyou licked her lips and said, "Yes."
"Xiaolan, pour two glasses of water." Ye Qing shouted into the house.
Just as he finished speaking, a voice suddenly came from the door, "Where is Ye Qing?"
Ye Qing heard someone calling her, looked up, and found it was Aunt Li from the next yard.
Aunt Li's family is well-off. Her husband is a chef in a steel plant. She has two sons, one who works in an office and the other who works in a factory. She also has a daughter who is a school teacher.
But he is stingy and often quarrels with others over a dime or two.
Just at this moment, Ma Xiaolan came out with a cup of water, so she asked her to look after Zhou Zhou Youyou while she went to the front to take a look.
Ye Qing walked over and asked, "Aunt Li, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Aunt Li had a stern face and curled her lips, saying, "You're here, so today's matter will be easy to discuss.
A few bricks fell from your backyard wall and killed my chickens. What do you think we should do about this?"
Ye Qing remembered that when he entered the yard just now, two bricks were inexplicably missing from the wall. It turned out that they had fallen into the yard next door.
He smiled and said, "How much is your chicken? I'll compensate you."
After hearing this, Aunt Li's expression relaxed a little, and she shouted to the neighbor next door, "Da Mao, bring those two dead chickens over here."
Soon, a boy of about twelve or thirteen came over carrying two old hens. "Grandma, didn't you just say you wanted to pluck the feathers and eat the meat? Why did you ask me to bring them here again?"
Aunt Li glared at him and said, "Eat, eat, eat. All you know is to eat."
Then he looked at Ye Qing and said, "You also saw that the bricks in your house killed two hens. These two hens now lay four eggs every day.
They have just laid eggs and will probably lay for another two or three years.
We live on the same street, so I won't charge you any more. Even if it's two years, two years is 360 days multiplied by...
A total of 2920 eggs are needed. Now an egg costs about ten cents on the market, so 2920 eggs means... 292 yuan. Add the cost of the hens, and I'll make it an even number, so just give me 300 yuan.
A hen sells for seven or eight dollars out there now, so you're making a profit."
Ye Qing simply didn't know how to describe his current mood.
Killing two hens means not only being responsible for them, but also for the eggs they lay in the future.
There are many people who share the same idea as Ye Qing.
Before Ye Qing could say anything, Hongxia couldn't help it.
"Aunt Li, how can you settle accounts like this?"
Aunt Li put her hands on her hips in dissatisfaction. "Why is my calculation wrong? If these two bricks hadn't killed my hens today, would they have continued to lay eggs? Could I sell their eggs for money?"
