Chapter 145 Don't Bully the Rooster That Can't Speak
Zhang Xinru and Wang Ma hurriedly ran into the yard, and the two roosters stopped chasing them at the yard gate.
The two of them were wailing and howling, making a huge commotion, and everyone ran out to see what was going on.
Fu Xiaochen could tell at a glance that it must have been the two of them who provoked those two roosters first; they were two troublemakers.
“You’re causing trouble just to buy groceries? What did I tell you when I came here?”
Ye Jiajia looked at them with a worried expression.
"Zhang Ma, Wang Ma, what's wrong? What happened?"
Zhang Xinru cried out, "Miss Jiajia, please tell your neighbor to kill those two roosters. I can't take it anymore."
I swear, we really didn't start this! What did we do to deserve this?
Wang Ma nodded firmly, "That's right, I've only been here for less than a day and I've already been pecked several times. I'm probably covered in bruises."
Why are those two chickens staring at them so intently?
Ye Jiajia: "..."
"Impossible! They were perfectly fine when we came back! Those two roosters belong to our neighbor; we have no reason to kill them."
Dr. Zhao walked over and mocked.
"Alright, you guys, now you're not pretending anymore, are you? After all that, you still want to eat chicken."
Zhang Xinru was furious. "What do you know? Those two chickens are so cunning. As long as you're around, they behave themselves. But as soon as you're not there, they pounce on us and peck at us."
Wang Ma chimed in, "That's right, those two roosters are practically demons, they peck at us whenever they get the chance."
If it weren't for the fact that the pecks were on her private parts, I would have really wanted Dr. Zhao to take a closer look to see if she was lying.
Dr. Zhao refused to believe it, "Why did those two roosters only peck at you two and not at anyone else? Do you have any wounds? Let me see."
Zhang Xinru couldn't understand why the two roosters were only pecking at the two of them. "Who knows what's going on?"
"Also, how can you see a wound on your butt? You're not trying to take advantage of me, are you?"
Dr. Zhao felt that this excuse sounded familiar; it seemed like he had heard someone say it before!
It took me a while to remember that Xu Jiaojiao had used the same excuse before.
"I remember Xu Jiaojiao said that her butt was injured by you guys in order to stay at the young master's house."
"I didn't expect you to use the same excuse again this time just to get chicken. Can't you come up with a different one? I really don't know what to say to you."
Xu Jiaojiao: Is there anything else I need to do here? I'll be there soon.
It truly proves the saying, "No matter how many mouths one speaks, there is no way to defend oneself."
They didn't have any interest in chicken before, but now they really, really want to eat chicken, and they have to eat the meat from those two chickens.
To test whether they were lying or the rooster was in disguise.
Dr. Zhao walked around the rooster without any problems.
Fu Xiaochen and Ye Jiajia also went around and were unharmed.
Zhang Xinru and Wang Ma were dumbfounded.
"What's going on? We didn't know these two roosters before, so there's no reason why they're only targeting us!"
Just then, Grandma Ye and her neighbors returned from watching the opera. "Why are you all standing in the yard?"
Zhang Xinru complained, "Grandma Ye, your neighbor's rooster is bullying us. It doesn't peck at anyone else, but only at me and Wang Ma."
Wang Ma nodded in agreement, "That thing really hurts when it pecks! Its beak is so sharp and pointed."
Grandma Ye was also somewhat skeptical. "Impossible! I watched these two roosters grow up. They are very docile and would never peck at people."
The three people standing nearby nodded in agreement and all stood on the rooster's side.
"Don't bully the rooster because it can't talk."
Zhang Xinru: "..."
Wang Ma: "..."
No, which side are you on? Why doesn't anyone believe them?
That damn scheming chicken, always saying one thing to people's faces and another behind their backs.
Seeing that no one believed them, Zhang Xinru had no choice but to think of a way to get rid of the rooster.
"Even if we just want to eat chicken, could we talk to our neighbors and buy those two roosters? We'll pay for it, no matter how expensive it is."
To get revenge, I'll go all out! So what if it costs a little more money? I'll treat myself this time.
Aunt Wang no longer held onto her purse tightly, and said generously, "If you buy it, we'll treat you. You can eat as much chicken as you want."
She had already decided to stew one for soup and stir-fry the other.
Dr. Zhao had an "I knew it" look on his face. "These two chickens are really unlucky to have met you."
Zhang Xinru retorted angrily, "We must have been incredibly unlucky to have encountered these two chickens."
“I’ll go ask around, but I doubt the neighbors will agree. The chances of them selling are slim, so you’d better be prepared.”
After Grandma Ye finished speaking, she slowly walked into her neighbor's house.
They returned a few minutes later.
Zhang Xinru and Wang Ma asked expectantly, "So? Did the neighbors agree?"
Grandma Ye shook her head. "I didn't agree. The neighbor said that these two chickens are like their own children, and they can't bear to sell them."
"If you want to eat chicken, I'll go ask the other villagers."
Zhang Xinru stopped Grandma Ye, "No need, Grandma, we just want to eat these two chickens. If the neighbor doesn't want to sell them, then so be it."
Grandma Ye: "..."
These two chickens are no different from other roosters! Why do we have to have these two?
Everyone thought they were attracted to the neighbor's two roosters because of their beautiful plumage, their large size and plumpness.
Dr. Zhao went out quietly and returned with two large roosters.
“Zhang Ma, Wang Ma, didn’t you want to eat chicken? I bought two chickens from other villagers. They’re just as good as the neighbor’s chickens. Are you satisfied now?”
Zhang Xinru: "..."
I'm tired, too lazy to explain.
Wang Ma looked conflicted. She didn't mind having extra food, but she would have to cook it herself!
"This... Dr. Zhao, you can kill the chicken! I'll stew it after you're done."
Dr. Zhao: What are those two people looking at? He kindly bought two chickens, but they didn't appreciate it at all. All his good intentions were for nothing.
……
In the kitchen, the three of them had a clear division of labor, each doing their own thing.
Wang Ma is the head chef.
Zhang Xinru chopped vegetables and assisted with the task.
Dr. Zhao was somewhat moved, as he had never expected that in the countryside he would be both a scooper of poop and responsible for plucking the rooster's feathers. He was quite unaccustomed to this change.
Fu Xiaochen and Ye Jiajia started again as soon as they had some free time.
To prevent Grandma Ye from hearing their argument, they actually went to the kitchen to argue.
"Ye Jiajia, does this mean you won't need me anymore now that Grandma's been discharged from the hospital?"
"You're overthinking it. Grandma has trouble sleeping, so she has to have her own room. I'll share a room with Zhang Ma and the others, and it'll be just right for you and Dr. Zhao to share a room!"
"I disagree. What do you mean by making me share a room with Dr. Zhao? I don't like men."
Zhang Xinru guessed that Fu Xiaochen must know that Dr. Zhao liked men, so she was afraid that he would do something bad to her.
At this moment, Dr. Zhao timidly interjected, "What's wrong with men living together? I don't like men either."
Zhang Xinru blurted out, "Then what about all the things you did to Xiaoshi before?"
Dr. Zhao asked, "What did I do when I was little?"
Could it be that they discovered he and Xiao Shi had a fight? But they were fighting each other!
