5262 - Strange Chicken Coop

"Look, brother, I've eaten all the chickens I made today." Mrs. Sheng held out the bowl in front of the cattle dealer as if asking for credit.

The cattle dealer nodded in satisfaction, "As long as Duo'er likes to eat it, I finished eating the few chickens I raised yesterday. Duo'er's natal family said that they will send chickens and eggs here today. This chicken is raised by your second room. Later, I will count it as money and give it to you, and from tomorrow onwards, I will continue to kill the chickens on my side."

Mrs. Sheng pulled her face down on purpose, "Brother, what are you talking about? What about your family and mine? We are all one family."

"What's more, Duo'er gave birth to Sheng Boy. As a mother-in-law, I wish I could take out all the chickens in the house and give them to her to eat, because I'm afraid she won't be able to eat them!"

The cattle dealer was very happy, stroking his beard and nodding repeatedly.

At night, Mrs. Sheng cooked a supper for Dafang, then cooked a bowl of noodles for Xiaoduo with chicken soup, and then went back to her home.

After closing the yard door and having dinner with Sheng Nan's father, Sheng Nan's father found a bowl of stewed chicken on the table.

"Where did this stewed chicken come from? Did you kill the chicken today? But I saw that there are a lot of chickens at home?" Shengnan's father asked.

Sheng Nanniang said: "I kill chickens? It's a good idea, Dafang, your elder brother is a cattle dealer, and you still lack food?"

"Xiaoduo's natal family is so rich, it's impossible for her to watch her daughter lack chickens during her confinement."

Shengnan's father asked again: "Then this stewed chicken was brought from Dafang again?"

Mrs. Sheng nodded: "Yesterday's old hen was too big. I brought a big bowl to the table yesterday, and it was only half stewed. I left the half of this one secretly. Let's eat it by ourselves." .”

"Huh?" Sheng Nan's father was dumbfounded.

"What does that flower eat?" He asked again.

Mrs. Sheng grinned: "I mixed some water with yesterday's salty chicken soup, put a few pieces of leftover chicken nuggets for her to eat, and lied to her that it was a little chicken killed by my family. They young people just eat it. I don't understand, hehe..."

"It's not natural for you to do this, is it? Duo'er is our daughter-in-law. She is well-raised, and my daughter can earn money too." Sheng Nan's father was a little dissatisfied with Sheng Nan's wife's behavior, and he had to criticize her a few words.

Mrs. Sheng slammed the chopsticks in her hand on the table, "It would be nice to have some leftover chicken soup to drink, and pick and choose? Thinking back when I married you and gave birth to two sons, your mother would be willing to kill me." A chicken supplement?"

Sheng Nan's father also lowered his face: "Don't talk about the past, you know that my old Xiang family's conditions are not good, not to mention whether your natal family is the Yang family in Changping Village, there is no comparison!"

Mrs. Sheng began to wipe away tears: "I was really blind to marry a man like you who has no ability and doesn't know how to love others..."

Sheng Nan's father snorted, squinted at Sheng Nan's wife's sloppy look, and said angrily: "You also know that you were blind at the time? I didn't dislike you for being a blind and sloppy woman and marrying you in. Just be content with it!"

"you……"

Sheng Nanniang suddenly raised her head, her face turned green with anger.

"What about me? No matter how bad I am, I won't eat the confinement meal you stole from your daughter-in-law. You can eat it. I'll go back to sleep!"

After saying this, Sheng Nan's father got up and entered the house, and before leaving, he muttered: "Sit down for a month, and the daughter-in-law will not grow up, but your mother-in-law will grow fat and strong!"

……

In Changping Village, Yang Huazhong and Mrs. Sun were very happy during dinner. The couple discussed while eating:
"There are a total of twelve old hens in our backyard. When Duo'er gave birth to a baby, we sent two over there. After two days of bathing, we sent another nine over, and left one to hatch at home."

"In addition, I saved a hundred eggs, and you will also send them tomorrow. By the way, sister-in-law Cuilian and Suyun next door have sent old hens to our house, and sister-in-law Cuilian sent two, Suyun also gave two, Osmanthus fragrans, Bamei, and Liu'er each gave one."

"There are sixteen old hens together. We, Duo'er, eat one every two days. I plan to let her confine her for forty days. There won't be enough chickens for the rest of the day. I'll talk to the chickens raised in the village. They bought it there and sent it over.”

Regarding Sun's arrangement, Yang Huazhong only nodded.

Xiaohua also happily said: "The little cradle and the little quilt are all ready, and more than ten sets of clothes, shoes, socks and hats have been prepared, and they will be sent together when giving gifts in two days."

……

In the old Wang's house, Yang Huamei called hot water to soak Wang Shuanzi's feet, and squatted in front of him to discuss with him: "Although everyone agreed not to communicate with each other when Duo'er got married, but Duo'er gave birth to a child, and it is reasonable for me As an aunt, you have to show something."

"Today, I heard from the fifth sister-in-law and the others that they sent two chickens to the third sister-in-law's house to make up for Xiaoduo."

"We also have chickens in the backyard. There is an old hen that is fatter. I plan to catch it and send it to my sister-in-law tomorrow morning. It's part of my kindness. Shuanzi, what do you think?"

Wang Shuanzi sat there coughing lightly, his pale face flushed strangely under the steaming water.

"Mei'er, it's up to you to make decisions about these relationships, I have no objection." He gasped and said softly.

Yang Huamei smiled and rubbed the soles of his feet more gently.

At night, under the moonlight, a figure sneaked into the backyard of the old Wang's house like a ghost.

The figure ran straight to the front of the chicken coop, bent down, opened the doorknob of the chicken coop, stretched in and scratched, the chickens in the hen coop were flustered...

Yang Huamei slept until midnight and heard the crowing of chickens from the backyard, so she hurriedly got up and opened the back window.

"Which one is there?"

She yelled toward the chicken coop.

When this season comes, there is nothing to eat in the mountains, and Huang Pizi likes to go into the village to steal chickens.

Normally, Huang Pizi would scare away with such a yell.

Sure enough, the chicken coop was quiet.

Yang Huamei stood by the bed and listened for a while, making sure there was nothing else, and then went back to bed to sleep.

The next morning, when Yang Huamei got up, the first thing she did was go to the backyard to catch chickens, but when she came to the chicken coop, she screamed in fright at the sight in front of her.

"What's up, Mel?"

Wang Shuanzi rushed over as fast as he could, and Wang Hongquan also came to the backyard upon hearing the sound.

But seeing Yang Huamei pointing to the chicken coop in front of her, her eyes were full of panic.

Wang Shuanzi followed her gaze and his face turned pale.

"What, what's going on here? Why is there chicken feathers and blood?" Wang Shuanzi asked.

Wang Hongquan was also shocked, "Didn't the yellow-skinned chickens steal chickens and kill them before dragging them back to the hole to eat? Why did they start eating them while they were still in the chicken coop?"

"Tsk tsk, the food on the ground is really scary, there is blood all over the ground, how long has the beast been hungry this day?"

Wang Hongquan was babbling and cursing, and he had already walked to the chicken coop.

creak.

The door of the chicken coop was pulled open, but the inside was eerily quiet. None of the chickens that would normally scramble to squeeze out as soon as the door of the chicken coop was opened, came out this time!
