Chapter Thirty-Eight: Stealing Chicken Chickens
The two women gossiped in the field for a while before they went back to their house.
Today's tofu is selling well, Zhao Laosan came back early, and Su Mi told the man that the Luo family woman was pregnant again. Ask the man to take some tofu left at home in the morning, and some pastries and lactose that the doll eats.
When the man returned, the woman had already prepared lunch.
"This Luo family woman is about to have two dolls, it's really a blessing!" Su Mi was very happy, not only because she had a good relationship with the Luo family, but also because she really liked dolls in her heart.
"Is the lady's eyes hot? If your eyes are hot, let's give birth to one too! Zhao Laosan sat on the bench and said while eating.
Su Mi was already ashamed of these things, and her cheeks were slightly rosy: "Husband, if it's this year, how good it would be if we could hold a milk doll." ”
"This year, it will definitely be!"
After lunch, the two went to the bedroom to rest for a while. The men went down to the ground to carry dung and water the soil, while the women did some needlework at home.
After finishing the needlework, seeing that it was still early and a little tired, I went to think about going to sleep for a while. I slept for half an hour, and when I woke up, I saw that the door of the courtyard outside my house was open, and I thought it was a man who had returned, and I looked around and saw that there was not even a shadow. I was wondering, but I saw that all my hens were gone.
Su Mi's heart tightened, and when he saw that the courtyard door was open, he thought he had run out, so he hurriedly ran out to find it. I turned around, but I didn't see the chickens.
I thought to myself, this chicken cub can't fly, and it's too young to go too far. After closing the door, he prepared to go out into the field.
Bypassing a paddy field, a pair of autumn water shears stared at the paddy field for a long time, for fear that when the chicken cub passed by the ridge, it would be transferred into the field.
After looking at it for a long time, there was nothing in the field. There was no vegetable patch next to the house, and my heart was panicked, "Couldn't this chicken cub fly?" ”
Walking barefoot on the ridge, his white ankles, stepping on the green and soft grass, as if a hand was tickling. A peach lip pursed, gritted his teeth and prepared to go to the field to find a man to come back to see what was going on.
I bypassed a field again, and saw Xie Cuihong, a woman from the Zhang family at the east end of the East Village, bending over and working in the field. She came to Zhao's house to buy tofu, so Su Mi recognized her.
"Zhang's daughter-in-law, the corn in your field grows so well!" Although Su Mi had something on her mind, she didn't hang it on her face, and she still greeted her with a smile.
Xie Cuihong, the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family, heard that only the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family was asking her, and she was stunned, and she didn't look back, but turned her back to her and responded: "The few bean fields of your Zhao family are also growing well." ”
Su Mi didn't think much about it, thinking that the woman was busy. was about to go down to the ground, but saw a chicken cub next to Xie Cuihong's ankle. If you look closely, this chicken cub looks like it belongs to theirs.
"Zhang's daughter-in-law, you ...... Are you still bringing chickens with you here? ”
"Zhao family's daughter-in-law, you have too much control!" Xie Cuihong was excited, and the few little chicks in her arms all fell down, chirping in the ground.
It doesn't matter if this excitement is there, Su Mi widened her eyes and saw clearly, the few hens at Xie Cuihong's feet were the ones in her own family.
After all, she has been feeding for many days, and she takes care of this chicken cub every day, and the millet is fed in the palm of her hand, and she is looking forward to laying eggs to replenish the body of the man in the family when she grows up.
"Goo-goo-goo......"
The little chick heard Su Mi calling, scurrying around the ground, and only came to Su Mi's side one by one. As soon as I saw this posture, I knew that it was my own chick.
"Goo-goo-goo......"
Su Mi's little face was flushed with anxiety, and her brown eyes were full of surprise, looking at the four hens: "I can be regarded as finding you, what are you doing here?" ”
When Xie Cuihong saw these chickens, she went to Su Mi's feet, her face sank, and her hands were on her waist: "Zhao's daughter-in-law, I brought my own chickens to the vegetable field to eat insects and bask in the sun, but you said that it was your chickens, this is too bullying, right?" ”
"Your chicks?" Su Mi's eyebrows twisted, stared at a pair of autumn scissors, and looked at Xie Cuihong.
This Xie Cuihong's family is so poor that the man is idle all day long and likes to go to the town to drink. The work in the fields was all done by her and her mother-in-law. There are also two dolls at home, the older one can already herd cattle, and the smaller one is still crying.
Rao is doing heavy work all day, only in his twenties, with a dark complexion, thick and powerful limbs, and a dark red coarse cloth clothes that have been worn for more than half a month.
"This is naturally our family, is it only your Zhao family that can raise livestock?" Xie Cuihong has a pair of narrow eyes, and her eyes are fierce and cunning.
"I know all these four chickens, I fed them one by one, I don't believe you call them, see if I can follow you?" Su Mi was not good at arguing with these women, and when she saw that her chickens were about to be abducted, she was angry and anxious.
This Xie Cuihong is also a ruthless character in Shili Baxiang, although she is not very fat, but she is as powerful as a cow, and ordinary men can't help her.
"This animal is not a human, if you call it it, it will definitely go with you!"
"Then in that case, you can also call one of the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family, and see if a few chickens will follow you?" Su Mi bent down, stretched out a small hand, and touched the round waist of the chicken cub.
The chicken cub didn't hurt it in vain, and chirped very happily around Su Mi, fluttering its little wings, and pecking Su Mi's bare instep with its scarlet beak.
Seeing the situation, Xie Cuihong knew that this call would definitely not be able to be called: "Who in this Zhaojia Village doesn't know that you are a demon woman, and I don't know what method you used, so you want to rob my chicken!" ”
"Zhang's daughter-in-law, I know that your family is short of food and clothing, and the doll in the family has to eat again, and the man is not angry outside. I'll take this chicken cub back, and I'll bring you more tofu tomorrow!" Su Mi knew the situation of the Zhang family, and didn't ask how the chicken cub got to their field, just wanted to settle this matter in harmony.
Unexpectedly, Xie Cuihong was used to taking advantage, threw away the hoe in his hand, paced from the ground to the sill, climbed up in two or three steps and pointed at Su Mi and shouted: "Don't think that you have a face like a fairy, you can say whatever you want, this is my Zhang family's chicken cub, what do you mean by taking tofu?" ”
This Xie Cuihong rolled up her sleeves, her sturdy arms, several times larger than Su Mi's small hands, and she looked like she was fighting. A few days ago, she had a quarrel with the woman of the Li family because of the matter of Douye, and now this Xie Cuihong makes her a little scared and aggrieved.
"The women of the Zhang family, they are all concubines, why did my chicken cub come to your field, I don't know, but I don't think it will fly so far......"
"What do you mean, that is, I, Xie Cuihong, stole your Zhao family's chicken cubs?"
Xie Cuifang's voice was so loud that the women in the field couldn't help but look this way. Su Mi felt a little ashamed, but the chicken cubs that he raised one bite at a time would not give them to others so easily.
"That's what you said yourself, I'm going to take this chicken cub back!" Su Mi pouted the most, with a delicate cheek, Rao was anxious and flushed.
"Then you try, can you kidnap my chicken cubs from under my hands?" Xie Cuihong took a step forward, a head taller than Su Mi, and Su Mi only felt the black pressure in front of her.
Just as he was about to call the man to come and see, the woman of the Luo Qing family went to the field to hoe the grass, and just happened to pass by, and the two families were good friends and saw the two arguing, and they also wanted to come over to see what was going on.
After listening to Su Mi's words, she looked down at these chickens again, she had been to Su Mi's house, and naturally recognized: "Zhang's daughter-in-law, I have been to Zhao's house, this chicken cub belongs to the Zhao family, you can return it to others!" ”
This Zhang family is so poor that this Xie Cuihong has already had the habit of holding sheep. Today, when I saw a concubine, whose duck laid eggs in the haystack, I immediately put it in my pocket and took it back. Tomorrow, when I see someone's chicken running outside, I will also take it into my arms and carry it back.
"I know that you two are good, you must say that this chicken cub belongs to the Zhao family!" Xie Cuihong's face was dark, and when she saw someone testifying, she was not weak-hearted, but her momentum was even more arrogant.
"The ancestor of my Luo family has been an official, and who doesn't know that the two of us are the most kind. This chicken cub was raised by the Zhao family, if you want it, take one, the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family is not not going to give it, why do it. "The women of the Luo family are not at a loss, not to mention that they are better with Su Mi, seeing Xie Cuihong's face, they must ask for an explanation.
"The daughter-in-law of the Luo family, don't think that you have great strength, I'm afraid of you!" This Xie Cuihong actually made the first move, and after yelling, she grabbed the hair of the Luo family's woman.
Su Mi was anxious, this Luo family woman was still pregnant, if something happened, she would definitely die of guilt. Standing in front of the two women, he was a lot shorter than the two women, and he had no choice but to stand in the middle and dissuade him.
The woman who went down to the ground all day long was also very angry, and she had never been a woman at home, and the two women did not lose half a point to the man when they fought.
"Don't fight anymore!" Su Mi was on the side, a pair of apricot eyes were full of tears, and her smiling face was so red that she was anxious, because these two women didn't have eyes on their hands, and they caught Su Mi from time to time, and the bun was also loose, and her heart was angry and anxious.
"You woman with unclean hands and feet, I will teach you a lesson today." Although the woman of the Luo family was pregnant, she had strength all over her body, and after a few rounds, Xie Cuihong's face had been scratched, leaving a few bright red marks, which were densely oozing with round blood beads.
"Who has unclean hands and feet? This chicken cub is in my field, and he is not in the Zhao family, you go to judge the theory! After all, Xie Cuifang was several years younger, and she slowly lost her strength, so she let the daughter-in-law of the Luo family strangle her neck with her arm.
"Husband!" Su Mi was worried that there was no way, but when he turned his head, he saw his man walking from the other side of the ridge.
