Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 1007 A Hen

Yi Zhonghai sat back in his original seat, and Jia Zhangshi sat down opposite him without any ceremony. She took a chicken leg and started eating it with her hands.

Hearing the commotion outside, Li Cuilan suddenly fell silent. She wanted to go out and see what was going on, but just as she reached the door, Yi Zhonghai said, "Cuilan, this is none of your business. Go inside and don't come out."

Li Cuilan glanced at Jia Zhangshi sitting opposite Yi Zhonghai, said nothing, and walked back.

Li Cuilan was very flustered and wanted to hear what they were saying, but the two of them were speaking in very low voices, and she couldn't hear them at all. After listening for a while, she gave up, only remembering that Jia Zhangshi said, "This is all what you owe our old Jia."

Li Cuilan didn't understand, but she remembered what was said. After that, Jia Zhangshi left after finishing her meal. A day later, she heard the news that Yi Zhonghai had taken Qin Huairu as his apprentice, which shocked many people.

No. 47 Yu'er Hutong

Wang Zhan hasn't left the house in the past few days, and Wang Li doesn't like to go out either. She's checking her inventory in her virtual space, while also thinking about having her brother build her another warehouse, as her current one is almost full.

Wang Zhan didn't stay with his sister in the space. In the past few days, except for the uneventful Lunar New Year, he had been tidying up his houses in the front yard. Although everyone had moved out, there was still a lot of clutter left behind.

Wang Zhan could only pack them up and put them in his spatial storage, then find time to throw them away at a distant landfill, as those junk items were of no use to him whatsoever.

On the 26th of the year, Wang Zhan went to throw away the trash as usual. He happened to pass by the Chaoyang Vegetable Market. At this time, the Chaoyang Vegetable Market had become a state-owned enterprise. Because everyone knew that there was a shortage of supplies recently, fewer people came here.

Today, Chaoyang Vegetable Market specially purchased ten hens for sale to support the country's supply of goods for the Spring Festival.

It wasn't even noon yet, and there were very few customers in the market. No one was interested in the ten chickens, which made the salesperson question his life choices.

At this moment, Wang Zhan strolled in, also hoping to try his luck. As soon as he entered the market, he was startled by the sound of chickens crowing. Following the sound, he successfully found the chicken seller.

A chicken weighs a little over four pounds, and costs one yuan and fifty cents per pound. With four pounds of meat coupons, Wang Zhan doesn't lack money or coupons; what he lacks is chicken, and chicken from legitimate channels.

After paying and receiving a receipt, Wang Zhan walked out of the market carrying a plump hen. Along the way, he attracted a lot of attention, and some people who wanted to sell him inquired about where he was selling chickens. Wang Zhan also generously told them where he was selling chickens.

When they were almost at Nanluoguxiang, Wang Zhan wanted to put the chicken into his spatial storage, but people kept watching him on the road, so he couldn't do anything about it and decided to go into the alley first.

But to his surprise, a sharp gaze was fixed on him. Wang Zhan seemed to sense something and turned his head to look, but still couldn't see anyone. Wang Zhan thought it was his imagination and continued into Fuxiang Temple Alley. The people behind him hurriedly ran away, and Wang Zhan really didn't know or notice.

Back home, he closed the front door, surveyed the front yard, and then returned to his own yard. In a flash, he grabbed the chicken and wine and entered his spatial dimension. As soon as he entered, Wang Zhan chuckled; his younger sister, soaking wet, was struggling with Jinbao in the water. Wang Zhan quickly called Wang Li to come ashore. Once on land, Wang Li realized she was completely drenched, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Wang Zhan asked, "What are you doing? Why are you arguing with Jinbao?"

“Good boy Jinbao, he went down to the river to bathe, and I told him to come up, but he wouldn’t listen,” Wang Li said, pouting.

“But you can’t go into the river! Look at you, go take a bath, change your clothes, and I’ll make you some chicken soup,” Wang Zhan said.

Wang Li skipped and hopped to her room in the cabin. Actually, Wang Li was just being coquettish and playing around with Jin Bao. Wang Zhan saw through her immediately.

At this moment, in the east wing of courtyard number 95, four boys were squatting against the wall smoking.

Liu Guangtian, the second son of the Liu family, is seventeen years old this year, a junior high school graduate, and unemployed.

Yan Jiecheng, the eldest son of the Yan family, is twenty years old this year. He is a junior high school graduate and works odd jobs.

Liu Ergou, a resident of the front yard, is sixteen years old, a primary school graduate, and works odd jobs.

Liu Guangfu, the third son of the Liu family, is twelve years old this year and is currently in junior high school.

The four boys were smoking cigarettes. Liu Guangtian was talking about Wang Zhan, saying, "Brother Yan, you didn't see it. When that kid bought the chicken, he took out a wad of cash. I think it was at least two hundred. Oh, and he also had several meat coupons. I was thinking of following him to see if I could steal one, but I didn't expect that kid to be so alert."

Yan Jiecheng was tempted. He was short of money for his house renovation, and he knew his father's situation well. Getting him to spend money would be harder than climbing to heaven. If he could just rob Wang Zhan, he would have everything.

Yan Jiecheng said, "Guangtian, do you think we have a chance to rob him?"

Liu Guangtian had been beaten by Da Laotie last time, and he still remembered Da Laotie vividly. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed that Wang Zhan hadn't even made a move in the last conflict. Either he didn't know how to fight, or the kid was a coward. Thinking about it, Liu Guangtian said with certainty, "He must have been easily defeated. That kid is no good with his hands; he's just a coward."

The four boys fell silent, each lost in their own thoughts. But in the end, the two hundred yuan became the last straw that broke the camel's back. They all agreed to the idea of ​​robbing Wang Zhan, but they had to think it through carefully.
