Farmers gather wealth, cruelly abusing leftovers 2015 midnight stealing chickens

  【015】

  Tang Mei spent a whole day with Li Xin to cultivate their relationship, and overall, she gained more than she lost. For example, she wanted to learn martial arts and asked Li Xin if he knew anyone who was skilled in it.

  Li Xing said that his family had an uncle with a scar on his face who was very skilled in martial arts, and he was secretly learning from him. He even demonstrated two moves of his clumsy kung fu skills on the spot, and patted his chest to assure Tang Mai that if he wanted to learn, he would bring the uncle over next time they played together, and they could learn together.

  Tang Mai naturally wouldn't refuse and happily agreed, even praising Li Xin for being a true friend. As a result, Li Xin was overjoyed to the point where his eyes never left Tang Mai's face.

  Playing with Li Xin has another advantage, there are many delicious snacks, and these snacks are not cheap to buy in town. Tang Mai didn't charge at first, but as a result, Li Xin was unhappy, saying that Tang Mai didn't treat him like a friend.

  So Tang Mai had no choice but to reluctantly accept it amidst Li Xin's dissatisfied humming, but in fact, he was already overjoyed.

  Lunch was provided by the landlord's family, and it was several times better than their own home-cooked meals. Tang Mai ate half of it and, when no one was paying attention, packed up the other half to bring back for Tang Mi, Tang Ke, and Tang Guo to eat.

  Before he knew it, the day had passed and Li Xin had spent the whole day playing with Tang Mai. He was reluctant to part ways and before being called back by his family's servant girl, he repeatedly warned Tang Mai that he absolutely could not stand him up like the previous days and must come tomorrow, otherwise he would swallow the jade pendant he had left at Tang Mai's place.

  Tang Mai thought Li Xin was really cute, and when she came today, didn't Li Xin tell her that he had already swallowed the jade pendant?

  Isn't it possible that she won't come tomorrow and he can spit it out again?

  In the late afternoon, Lian Xiulan received her wages of ten copper coins from the housekeeper's wife. She was delighted to take the money and went to the town with Tang Mai, buying back ten copper coins worth of meat.

  Even if there's haggling over the price, ten copper coins can't even buy a few pieces of meat. Tang Mei looked at the meat that Lian Xiulan bought and felt uncomfortable in her heart. She knew that Lian Xiulan also hoped for the children to eat better. She also knew that what happened two days ago had left an impression on everyone's mind.

  Just like her brother Tang Ke, since she was beaten the day before yesterday, his whole person has been cold-faced, and last night was even stranger. He actually sat up suddenly in the middle of the night and let out a cold laugh, which really didn't scare her to death.

  She had transmigrated and been reborn, and supernatural events were nothing new to her. She didn't want her beloved brother to be possessed too. It wasn't until she called out to Tang Ke that he lay down with a blank expression. Last night, she asked Tang Ke about the previous night's events, but he just stroked her hair like a little adult and said she would know tonight.

  Tang Ke was a magical child. In her previous life, Tang Ke knew that she had won over Song Huaiqing and Old Lady Song in a miraculous way for her sake.

  It will be known tonight, Tang Mai is indeed a little curious, what can make Tang Ke sit up and laugh coldly in the middle of the night. In her previous life, she thought that Tang Ke didn't look like a five-year-old child, just like she didn't look like a five-year-old child either.

  After buying the meat, Lian Xiulan took Tang Mai back home. By the time they got home, it was already completely dark outside. The old house only had a dim oil lamp lit, and tonight there was no moon, so everything was pitch black.

  Lian Xiulan returned home, stewed the meat, and had Tang Yuanshan and several children come together to eat. At the dinner table, Tang Mai brought out all the snacks that Li Xing had given her, as well as the packed lunch from noon, and everyone had a good meal.

  Tang Mai wasn't hungry, from the moment she came back, she had been staring at Tang Ke, she was very curious about what Tang Ke had done.

  Tang Ke ate quietly, still serving her food. A five-year-old radish head, with a face just like hers, made a cool expression and served her food. If she hadn't acknowledged him as her own brother in her heart, Tang Mai really couldn't eat it.

  After dinner and washing up, Tang Ke still didn't make a move, and even went straight to bed without saying a word to her.

  Tang Mai was furious, as if she had been played by a five-year-old radish head, even though this radish head was her twin brother.

  Tang Mai's discontented mood persisted until the second half of the night. She, who had not fallen asleep yet, felt as if someone was pushing her. Tang Mai opened her eyes and saw Tang Ke standing in front of her bed, fully dressed, with his finger pressed against his lips, making a silencing gesture towards her.

  Tang Mai blinked and got up, without waking Tang Mi and Tang Guo, and followed Tang Ke out.

  Tang Ke held a paper lantern made of fireflies in his hand, and he didn't know where it came from. He took Tang Mai along the small path and walked forward.

  "Brother, where are we going?" After walking for a while, Tang Ke showed no signs of stopping, so Tang Mai couldn't help but go forward and grab Tang Ke's sleeve, asking him. She was really cold.

  "Hey, don't worry, you'll know soon." Tang Ke took Tang Mai's hand and smiled mysteriously, making Tang Mai get goosebumps all over. In the past, every time Tang Ke smiled like that, it meant someone was going to be unlucky.

  Tang Mai's guess was correct, and the place Tang Ke took him to was the old Tang family mansion. He didn't know what method he used, but he quietly let the three hens from the Tang family's old mansion walk out of the dog hole.

  Three hens had red threads tied to their legs, marked by Old Lady Tang. Tang Ke put his hand to his lips and blew a low whistle, an old yellow dog emerged from the dog hole and rubbed against Tang Ke's leg with great affection.

  Tang Ke stroked the old yellow dog's big head, walked in front of the three hens, and removed the red thread from their legs. Then he walked to the old yellow dog, pulled out a bone from his pocket, and threw it to the old yellow dog.

  The old yellow dog happily ran to Tang Ke, and a happy smile appeared on Tang Ke's cold face. He put the red rope on the ground, hugged the old yellow dog's head, and said something to it.

  But from start to finish, the hen didn't make any sound, this phenomenon made Tang Mai, a man who had lived for three lifetimes, stunned.

  "Come on, Mai'er." Tang Ke let the old yellow dog take away the red rope and took out another rope from his pocket, tied up three hens and said to Tang Mai.

  "Oh." Tong Mai came back to her senses and followed Tong Ke to a secluded riverbank, where she saw Tong Ke dig out a kitchen knife from a nearby pile of grass. "Mai'er, close your eyes and cover your ears too."

  Tang Mai roughly guessed what Tang Ke wanted to do, smiled slightly, closed his eyes very obediently, covered his ears, and soon heard the sound of a hen's cry. When he opened his eyes, three hens had been hanged by Tang Ke with a rope.

  "Maier, come and help out, brother will make chicken for you to eat." Tang Mai looked at Tang Ke, who was holding a kitchen knife and staring coldly at the three chickens hanging from a bamboo pole, and couldn't help but laugh and cry. She had experienced firsthand how difficult it was for the grown-up Tang Ke to cook anything edible.

  How can she still not understand at this point?

  Tang Ke is avenging her, avenging their mother.

  She should have thought of that earlier, Tang Ke is a sinister child, on the surface she doesn't say anything, but in her heart she's been calculating how to secretly bully those people who take advantage of others. If Old Lady Tang finds out that all the hens in their house are gone, she'll probably cry.

  Tang Mai guessed correctly, the next day Old Lady Tang went to feed the chickens and found that three old hens were gone, her eyes were about to pop out, she cried and made a fuss for a long time. In one of the daughter-in-law's yards, she found the red thread used to tie up the mother hen, and shouted that it was her several daughter-in-laws who stole the chicken to eat, scolding them as heartless and cheap bones.

  The family was in an uproar, with no peace for the chickens and dogs. Where would they have the energy to look for trouble from the Tang Mai household?
