Chapter 69: What They Say Is Right
Yun Xiaowu covered his face and cried fake tears, “It wasn’t this swollen originally, but after you beat me, the injury got worse, and it’s even more swollen and painful!”
Shen Xiuyuan: “You guys are really inhuman. We’re already this injured, and you still went all out. This face won’t heal in one or two years. I’m disfigured, wuwuwu…”
Other little friends: “Yes, what those two said is right!”
Anyway, even if it wasn’t Liu Tian and the others’ fault, the blame had to be placed on them.
Liu Tian roared: “It wasn’t me, I didn’t, I didn’t even get a chance to act before she hit me to the ground with a wooden stake!”
He pointed at Yun Jiao angrily.
Yun Jiao’s eyes were innocent: “My hand hurts so much, I can’t lift it.”
Uncle Shen hugged Yun Jiao, his face full of heartache: “You animals, you would wrong such a small child, beat such a small child. She just got back from the barefoot doctor. If anything happens to my niece, I won’t let you off!”
Yun Jiao nodded heavily: “Right!”
“Then she hit me with a wooden stake…”
Yun Xiaowu: “Nonsense, my sister is so small, where would she get so much strength to hit you with a wooden stake? You’re slandering!”
Shen Xiuyuan: “I’ll testify. It was clearly because they did too many wicked things themselves and weren’t looking where they were going when they ran, so they tripped on a wooden stake. Shameless.”
Other little friends: “Exactly, exactly.”
Yun Jiao continued to nod: “Right!”
Liu Tian: Ahhh! Who is the shameless one? He’s being wronged!
Shen Xiuyuan gestured with his hand: “That wooden stake was so big, a few of us couldn’t even lift it. How could Jiaojiao, who is so small, possibly lift it?”
The little friends nodded, lying with their eyes open.
Liu Chunfeng: “Nonsense, she clearly smashed it. You group of liars!”
Yun Xiaowu: “What you’re saying is not credible. You and your brother are in cahoots, and what your group says is not credible either. They are also in cahoots with your brother.”
Liu Tian’s face turned red and his neck bulged as he stamped his feet in anger.
He wished he could kneel on the ground and shout, ‘Please, Heaven, distinguish between loyal and wicked!’
But in the end, he could only be looked down upon by the people of Shen Family Village.
“How old are you? This is bullying a young girl because she’s easy to bully.”
“Hurry up and get out. If you don’t leave, and you don’t call the police, we will.”
The Liu family members couldn’t argue with so many people, so they finally ran away dejectedly.
The honest Yun Linhai: Huh? What happened?
Wasn’t his daughter’s arm dislocated from using too much force?
Wasn’t his son stung by bees to look like this?
The Liu family left, and Grandmother Shen and the others politely thanked the villagers and saw them off.
They returned home and closed the main door.
Uncle Shen touched his face and hissed: “That bastard Liu Dayong hit hard. Father, are you okay?”
Grandfather Shen clutched his waist: “I am, my old back.”
Grandmother Shen massaged his waist and scolded: “What a bunch of shameless brutes, daring to come to our door. Do they really think our family is easy to bully? It’s a good thing our son-in-law was here today, otherwise, with just these few people, we really wouldn’t have been able to beat them.”
Yun Linhai scratched his head: “Uh, this… if we hadn’t come, maybe this wouldn’t have happened.”
Grandmother Shen: “How can we blame you? The Liu family is used to being domineering. Liu Tian often leads people to compete with our village kids. Even if it wasn’t today, it would be something else.”
“Quick, go get the medicinal wine to rub on.”
After a round of busy work, everyone carried the scent of medicinal wine, and the entire courtyard was filled with the smell of medicinal wine.
Grandfather Shen sighed, holding the medicinal wine that was almost gone.
His medicinal wine, so much of it used up at once.
Yun Linhai remembered the sea snakes they had caught earlier.
“Father-in-law, we caught sea snakes a couple of days ago. My father guessed he’d soak them in wine. You can come to my house to get some another day, or we can bring them over.”
Grandfather Shen shook his head: “That won’t do, you keep them for yourselves.”
Yun Linhai: “We caught several sea snakes, and we can’t use them all. Those were all found by Jiaojiao.”
“Ah? Jiaojiao, aren’t those sea snakes poisonous?”
Yun Linhai nodded: “Yes, but it’s fine. When Jiaojiao caught these sea snakes, a sea eagle was with her. That sea eagle isn’t afraid of the sea snake’s venom. With one peck, it broke its head.”
Yun Xiaowu was incredibly proud: “Not only that, we also have a sea turtle at home. That sea turtle listens to Jiaojiao very well. And the orcas in the sea, have you ever seen orcas bigger than a boat? Our eight-meter-long boat isn’t as long as they are. Those orcas really like my sister…”
The Shen family members’ eyes widened as they listened. Good heavens, are the fish in the sea that big?
Shen Kuan and Shen Xiuyuan, the two young men, listened with yearning.
Yun Jiao noticed that her small arm was still being rubbed with medicinal wine by Shen Yunlian.
“Elder Cousin, Second Cousin, you can go play.”
Yun Linhai nodded: “When the new house is built and there are more rooms, you can all come and visit.”
Although quite a few things had happened, they hadn’t forgotten the real purpose of their visit.
Grandmother Shen heard that they wanted to raise chickens and immediately said: “Let’s go, I’ll take you to the village chief’s house.”
Shen Yunlian asked: “It’s the village chief’s youngest son, right? Didn’t you hear he went out to find work?”
Grandmother Shen: “I don’t know what he was thinking. When he came back last year, he said he wanted to raise chickens and ducks. The village chief and the others couldn’t talk him out of it. I heard he used to work at a cannery, that’s an iron rice bowl. To lose it just like that made the whole family quite angry. But after raising chickens for a year, the village chief and the others don’t seem to object anymore.”
Shen Yunlian nodded.
As they spoke, they had already arrived at the village chief’s house.
Upon learning their intention, they were directly led to the youngest son’s chicken farm.
The chicken farm didn’t smell very good. The village chief’s youngest son, wearing rubber boots, was feeding the chickens.
“Sister Yunlian, you’re back. You guys are here for…”
Grandmother Shen said: “It’s like this, your sister Yunlian’s husband’s family wants to buy some chickens to raise. We heard you set up a chicken farm, so we made a special trip to see if you have any good chicks here to take back and raise.”
“Yes, why don’t you come in and choose yourselves? My chickens here are all local free-range chickens. There are two sizes. One is just hatched, and I have a small batch of those just hatched. The other is about twenty days old. These chickens will definitely survive when bought back. You can take a look yourselves?”
Shen Yunlian nodded: “Okay, let’s take a look.”
The just-hatched ones were fluffy little yellow chicks, round like little tangyuan, with small thin legs that ran quite fast, chirping non-stop.
The twenty-day-old ones were much bigger and already had some stiff feathers.
Chickens that grow this big usually won’t die if there are no accidents.
Of course, the price would also be more expensive.
Yun Jiao noticed another group of fluffy little things on the side, which looked different from the chickens.
The chickens had pointed beaks, while these had flat beaks.
They were ducklings.
And goslings.
However, the number of these was not as many as the chicks.
