Chapter 513

But no matter how Jia Dongxu looked at it, it was just Jia Zhangshi wanting to make trouble, and she had simply found an excuse.

The Liu household.

"Stir-fry an extra egg today; I want to have a couple more drinks."

Liu Haizhong laughed, his mouth stretching wide.

"Yi Zhonghai has suffered another silent loss."

"It was clearly Jia Zhangshi's fault, and he didn't need to pay a single cent, yet he took out five yuan for Jia Zhangshi. Isn't that just being a sucker?"

"I can guarantee that this is the first time, and it definitely won't be the last. Jia Zhangshi will continue to swindle Yi Zhonghai's money in the future."

Liu Haizhong felt exceptionally refreshed seeing Yi Zhonghai suffer a loss.

The Xu household.

"Damao, child's mother, you two be careful."

"If Jia Zhangshi can swindle Yi Zhonghai like this, she can swindle our family the same way. Yi Zhonghai is willing to be a sucker, but we certainly cannot be."

"If Jia Zhangshi dares to extort our family while I'm not home, you go to the subdistrict office and call the police."

"Just don't let Yi Zhonghai preside over justice; he will definitely favor the Jia family."

Xu Fugui was clear-headed.

Many people in the courtyard had already figured out that Yi Zhonghai wanted to find someone to provide for his old age.

Jia Zhangshi's extortion became a hot topic in the courtyard.

In less than an hour, it had spread to the neighboring courtyards, with a trend of spreading throughout the entire street.

The next day was a day off.

Everyone was at home.

Jia Zhangshi stayed in bed until noon and didn't even get up for breakfast.

She got up at noon and went out to bask in the sun.

"Jiecheng, are there really four owls?"

Liu Guangqi asked.

"Of course. One had a wingspan of over a meter, another was smaller than that and had an injured leg, and there are two more owls here."

"After Brother Ping'an caught them, I was the one who helped take them to the six-acre plot."

"Ping'an gave me a big pumpkin in return."

Yan Jiecheng boasted about the achievement of catching the owls.

The older boys and the small children in the courtyard all gathered around him, listening to him talk about catching the owls.

As soon as Jia Zhangshi stepped out, she heard them talking about owls.

"Yan Jiecheng, the owls you caught, were they from a crooked-neck tree in the western suburbs?"

"There was an abandoned bird's nest on that tree."

Jia Zhangshi asked.

"That's right!"

Yan Jiecheng answered casually.

Jia Zhangshi's face turned black instantly.

The owls Wan Ping'an had taken away were the ones she had discovered.

She had been planning to go find the owls after her injury healed, but they had been snatched away by Wan Ping'an every day.

"Those are my owls! How could Wan Ping'an take them?"

"This is robbery!"

Jia Zhangshi was unwilling to let it go.

The owls were big and heavy, with plenty of meat; they could definitely equal a fat chicken!

Evening.

When Jia Zhangshi returned to the Sihe Academy, she brought Owl No. 2, which had an injured leg, to make it easier to take care of it.

"Ping'an, is this the owl you caught?"

Yan Fugui looked at the owl perched on Wan Ping'an's shoulder.

It must weigh over ten jin, right?

So much meat!

"Didn't Jiecheng tell you?"

Wan Ping'an nodded with a smile.

"He did. He said it was very big and heavy, but I just didn't expect the owl to be this large. How can it make absolutely no sound when it flies?"

Yan Fugui was actually craving the meat.

Owls are large birds of prey, and one has quite a bit of meat on it.

Wan Ping'an didn't know if owls were edible.

Regardless, he didn't want to eat it!

"It has to do with its body structure!"

Wan Ping'an walked toward the backyard.

"Sigh, such a big bird, it's a pity to eat it for meat!"

Yan Fugui sighed.

In the fifties, there was no Wildlife Protection Law.

There was no such thing as protected animals!

As long as you could catch it and as long as you could eat it, anything went, and no one cared.

"He's back, he's back!"

"Such a big owl, he must give me one. I was the one who discovered the owls!"

Jia Zhangshi had been waiting for Wan Ping'an to return.

She headed straight for Wan Ping'an's house.

"Wan Ping'an, come out!"

Jia Zhangshi shouted loudly.

"Jia Zhangshi, are you looking for a beating again?"

Xu Damao came out to watch the excitement.

Liu Haizhong also came out to watch.

"Get lost! Do you believe I'll scratch you?"

Jia Zhangshi glared at Xu Damao.

"Jia Zhangshi, what kind of trouble are you trying to stir up again?"

Wan Ping'an pushed the door open and came out.

"Wan Ping'an, the owls you took away were discovered by me, so they are mine. You taking them is stealing. You must return the owls to me."

Jia Zhangshi spouted twisted logic, yet she was righteous and self-confident.

Everyone was stunned.

Then, a burst of laughter erupted.

What kind of twisted logic was this?

If Jia Zhangshi had been in the middle of catching the owls and Wan Ping'an had snatched them away, Jia Zhangshi wanting them back would be understandable.

She had only seen the owls and hadn't made a move to catch them; Wan Ping'an caught them, so what did that have to do with her?

Even a small child understands this principle; how could Jia Zhangshi not?

"Jia Zhangshi, I have a suggestion: go to the hospital's psychiatric department and get checked out. If you don't have the money, I'll pay for the examination fee. How about that?"

Wan Ping'an mocked her with sarcasm.

Jia Zhangshi was just a mental patient.

"What do you mean?"

Jia Zhangshi was confused.

"Telling you to go to the psychiatric department for a check-up, saying you have a mental illness!"

Someone helped Jia Zhangshi interpret.

"You dare say I have a mental illness?"
