Chapter 171: Shi Ren, Return My Fish

How did he figure it out?

Qiao Sheng, his face unchanged, asked, "You kid, how did you tell that I went to beat someone up?"

Shi Jin pointed his finger at Qiao Sheng's hem.

Qiao Sheng lowered her head and stared for a while, then saw a drop of blood; she laughed, "You observed quite carefully; that's right, I just went to beat someone up."

"Why didn't you take us along? We've all learned martial arts now; we could help you."

Shi Jin stared directly at Qiao Sheng and said.

Xiao Shitou and the others all looked toward her; they seemed to mean the same.

Qiao Sheng, a little bewildered, said, "You kids, who are you beating, beating? If this gets around, they'll say I lead a bunch of little bullies."

Shi Ren asked, "Was it that woman from before?"

"It must be that woman."

Shi Jin, for once, didn't argue with Shi Ren.

Shi Yun opened his mouth and said, "That old woman is really ugly; just by looking, she's not a good person."

"Right, not a good person."

Xiao Shitou agreed.

All of them.

Are they really just kids of that age?

Qiao Sheng said in a voice neither loud nor soft, "Alright, alright, let's stop talking about this. Didn't you say you still wanted to eat beggar's chicken? Today I'll make beggar's chicken for you again."

"Alright!"

Shi Jin and the others shouted happily.

Shi Yun suddenly thought of something and grabbed Qiao Sheng's hem: "Aunt Qiao, could you not kill those two big roosters?"

The two big roosters he had previously protected, Qiao Sheng had taken to Zhang Qiao's place to raise, and they are still alive.

Qiao Sheng had originally planned to bring them back today to kill and make beggar's chicken.

But…

Shi Jin, seeing Shi Yun still protecting the two roosters, said, "When we ate beggar's chicken before, you ate more heartily than any of us, and now you can't bear to kill them…"

"They're different!"

Shi Yun opened his mouth and shouted.

Qiao Sheng thought it over, bought two more, and also took back the two that were at Zhang Qiao's.

"Shi Yun, you said you didn't want me to kill them, right? Fine, from today on, you're in charge of feeding them! Their eating, drinking, and waste are all your responsibility."

Shi Yun was a bit at a loss; he had never raised chickens before.

Xiao Shitou had never raised them either, but having watched others, he explained roughly how to do it.

Qiao Sheng originally thought that after a few days Shi Yun would give up and ask her to kill them, but unexpectedly he took good care of them.

She only realized it later.

Xiao Shitou helped him raise them together.

Every day, besides feeding the two chickens grain, they also gave them vegetable leaves, and let them catch insects and dig for earthworms to eat.

Don't be too kind to them.

Shi Jin's relationship with Shi Ren remained as bad as before.

That day they took a rest.

In the afternoon, Qiao Sheng took them out fishing, saying the top two who caught the most fish would get a reward; but after she stepped away for a moment, trouble arose.

"Shi Ren, give me back my fish!"

Shi Jin shouted angrily.

Shi Ren, with an innocent expression, replied, "What fish? It ran away on its own; what does that have to do with me?"

Hearing this.

Qiao Sheng hurried over and asked Xiao Shitou and the others, "What happened to them?"

"Aunt Qiao, the fish Shi Jin dropped ran away."

Shi Yun said softly.

He didn't see how it ran; he was fishing on the other side first.

Xiao Shitou then said, "Mom, I also didn't see what happened; I just caught a shrimp, and then heard Shi Jin tell Shi Ren to give him his fish back."

Shi Jin, eyes reddened, came to Qiao Sheng's side to complain.

"Aunt Qiao, he relied on being stronger than me, using a stone to chase away the fish I had hooked."
