Chapter 708

If Banggeng didn't become a "Saint of Thieves," perhaps he could be a chef in the future.

Cao Weiguo didn't meddle in other people's business and walked back happily.

When he got home, Song Yulan was rolling out noodles.

"You're back!"

"You must be very tired today!"

Cao Weiguo put down the eggs and leaned in close with a grin:

"Not tired!"

"Wife, don't keep rolling."

"I ate something outside, these noodles are enough."

Song Yulan smiled and said: "Then I'll steam buns with the remaining dough."

"Who!"

"Who stole my chicken!"

"Damn thief!"

"Stealing from me!"

"If I catch you, I'll slap you!"

Xu Damao returned from outside and wanted to check if the old hen had laid an egg before entering the house.

As a result, he was dumbfounded at what he saw.

One of the old hens in the cage was missing!

He had specifically asked the village chief for these chickens when he was showing movies.

He originally intended to use these two old hens as a stepping stone.

Thinking about whether he could board Cao Weiguo's boat.

To do some low-buy, high-sell business.

Because the wind had been blowing hard lately, this business was temporarily off the table.

He couldn't give them away, and he couldn't bear to eat them.

So he just kept the two old hens to lay eggs.

And now this!

The old hen he couldn't bear to eat had benefited a thief!

"Everyone, come quickly!"

"Our courtyard has been robbed!"

Hearing Xu Damao's shouting, Cao Weiguo said with a smile:

"Our courtyard is going to be lively again!"

Song Yulan hurriedly put down the rolling pin: "I'm going to check on our chickens!"

Cao Weiguo followed her out; their two hens were lying safely in the coop.

Song Yulan breathed a sigh of relief: "Luckily our chickens are fine, why is there always a thief in this courtyard!"

Cao Weiguo said with a smile: "We are both at work all day, no one has time to watch them."

"Let's stew the chickens tomorrow, we can't let the thief benefit."

Song Yulan couldn't bear it: "We can't stew them! I still need them to lay eggs!"

Cao Weiguo persuaded her gently: "There is only a thousand days of being a thief, there is no thousand days of guarding against a thief."

"If we don't eat this chicken, it might benefit a thief one day."

"Besides, our house isn't short of eggs."

"And raising chickens is a waste of grain and effort."

"You and I are both working, and you're pregnant."

"Where would you find the time to take care of them."

"Listen to me!"

"Wait until you give birth."

"When we have time, we'll raise them again."

Song Yulan thought for a moment, full of reluctance:

"Alright then."

"It's still a pity to just stew them like this!"

Song Yulan treasured these two egg-laying hens dearly.

To just stew and eat them, she really felt heartbroken.

Xu Damao shouted at the top of his lungs, and the people in the courtyard soon ran over.

Liu Haizhong, with his big belly, arrived at the scene first.

Following closely behind were Yan Fugui, Yi Zhonghai, and other residents from the middle and front courtyards.

"First Uncle!"

"Second Uncle!"

"You have to do something!"

"Our courtyard has been robbed again!"

"I was raising two egg-laying chickens in a cage."

"When I came back today, one was missing!"

"I tied this cage up tightly!"

"There's no way the chicken could have run out."

"Now one chicken is gone!"

"It must have been taken by a thief!"

Liu Haizhong postured: "Alright! Stop shouting!"

"It's just a chicken! What's the big deal!"

"Can't you, Third Uncle, be a bit more steady!"

"Being so rash, what does that look like!"

Xu Damao shouted with a red face: "First Uncle! You say it lightly!"

"This is an old hen I worked so hard to get!"

"An egg-laying hen you wouldn't find in the vegetable market in ten days or half a month!"

Yan Fugui nodded: "Damao is right! Egg-laying hens are precious! This is indeed not a small matter!"

This made Liu Haizhong unhappy, feeling that Yan Fugui was undermining him.

Glaring at Yan Fugui, Liu Haizhong puffed out his belly and said:

"Since that's the case, let's hold a full courtyard meeting."

"Everyone discuss this matter together."

"See if the thief is from outside or from the courtyard."

While speaking, he deliberately looked at Shazhu.

This made Shazhu furious:

"Liu Haizhong, what kind of look is that!"

"What are you staring at!"

"Believe it or not, I'll gouge out your eyeballs and step on them like bubbles!"

"How dare you!"

"How are you talking to a leader!"

"Do you know you need to respect me, the First Uncle!"

Liu Haizhong scolded angrily, and the Liu brothers immediately rolled up their sleeves.

Yi Zhonghai hurriedly stepped in to smooth things over: "Old Liu! You're at your age! Why are you still arguing with a junior!"

"You have a belly that can hold a boat, don't lower yourself to Shazhu's level."

"Let's hurry up and deal with Xu Damao's lost chicken."

Yan Jiecheng suddenly walked out and said: "When I came back from work, I saw the three Jia children eating chicken at the construction site!" ===== CHAPTER 710 =====
