Seeing that they had returned, Liu Guixia immediately said, “Sifu and Wufu, hurry up and help catch that chicken. Don’t let the chicken run away.”
“Mother, where did all these chickens come from?” Xue Wufu put down the things in his hands and asked while scuttling around like a monkey.
“It’s all because of Jiang Yue and Xue Yan’s help that Qingshu and the rest felt bad and insisted on sending one chicken each. That’s all we have. I was just about to send it back with your sister-in-law, but who knew that the chicken sent by Jinshan’s family wasn’t tied up properly? We’ve been trying to catch it ever since.” Liu Guixia said, feeling a little annoyed.
This chicken was too hard to catch. It had been holding on for a long time.
The old hen cooed as it nimbly dodged everyone’s grip.
Xue Yan had no choice but to help. However, he was useless.
Xue Erfu was so angry that he rolled up his sleeves. “I don’t believe it. I’m sure that I can catch it!”
Jiang Yue watched calmly as the entire family gathered to catch a hen. She really did not want to get involved in this scene. However, she didn’t know if the old hen thought that she was dead if she didn’t move. It even came to her side and spun around her feet.
“Jiang Yue, quickly catch it! Hurry up and catch it!” Xue Wufu said in a low voice. He was especially excited, but he was afraid that the hen would hear him and run away.
Jiang Yue chimed in but she didn’t want to bend down and grab the hen with her two small hands. After a moment of silence, she raised her foot and stepped on the rope that tied the hen’s leg with an expressionless face.
The rope wasn’t tied tightly to the other leg of the hen, but this leg was. Once she stepped on it, the hen couldn’t run.
Xue Wufu pounced over and grabbed it.
She saw Xue Wufu sitting on the ground, holding the old hen in his arms. He gave her a silly smile and said, “Jiang Yue is the best. She caught it in one shot.”
Jiang Yue looked up at the sky.
Xue Yan tried to hold back his laughter, but he couldn’t hold it in, so he put his fist to his mouth and coughed to cover it up.
Jiang Yue looked at him. Xue Yan quickly turned his face away, avoiding eye contact with her.
“Jiang Yue, Xue Yan, let’s go. Come with me to return the chickens. I don’t think we can take that many. Sifu and Wufu, you guys go give the rest back too.” Liu Guixia said as she took the old hen and tied the feet carefully.
Jiang Yue and the others had no objections.
Fortunately, the chickens were tied up properly this time. They couldn’t carry many with two hands so they carried them in baskets. Each basket could carry at least three or four chickens.
This was really an old hen, and it was especially big.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan didn’t carry the baskets that held the chickens. Xue Yan held Jiang Yue’s hand and walked behind them. Liu Guixia asked them to come together out of courtesy. After all, they were the ones who contributed the most.
Probably because he laughed just now, Xue Yan didn’t dare to look at Jiang Yue when he was holding her hand.
The task of returning the chicken was still very difficult. On one hand, they felt apologetic and refused to return it. On the other hand, they felt apologetic and insisted on returning the chicken. It was a push and pull conversation, and those chickens were tormented for a long time. By the time all the chickens were returned, the sun had already set.
Jiang Yue didn’t say anything and just looked at them. She didn’t expect it to be so troublesome.
The next day, as Xue Wen and Li Qingshu were afraid that they would be too reserved when they spoke to Manager Qiao, they called Xue Yan and Jiang Yue over and asked them to go together.
Things went smoothly, and all the oil was sold to Lakshimi Restaurant.
