Moreover, he admired He Hongyang immensely and would never let a chicken ruin his relationship with the He family.

As for the Liu family...

Although there are conflicts with the He family, Liu Haizhong and his second aunt will not personally steal chickens, nor will his sons.

Liu Haizhong was obsessed with climbing the ranks and wanted everyone in the courtyard to respect him.

So even if I'm starving, I won't do such a petty theft.

As for the second aunt and her sons, although they outwardly resented Liu Haizhong.

But for something this important, they will definitely consult with him and won't make a decision on their own easily.

The scope is getting smaller and smaller.

The person most likely to steal this chicken is in the Intermediate People's Court!

He Hongyang walked around the houses of the Jia family and the Yi family respectively.

Yi Zhonghai returned before dawn and is now sleeping at home.

He's a very stubborn person, just like Liu Haizhong; he wouldn't do something like that.

An elderly woman with a bad back wanted to steal chickens, so she had to bend down and climb into the chicken coop.

None of them will be from the Yi family.

He Hongyang found a chicken feather outside the Jia family's door.

Not a drop of dew touched it.

It looks like the chicken was just stolen this morning!

Then I saw that their door was locked and no one was home.

The chicken was stolen by the Jia family, just now!

Wang Liying and Zhao Ailing looked at him in disbelief.

"You mean they stole the chicken? This Jia Zhangshi has a criminal record. She still dares to steal from our house. Let's see how I deal with her after I catch her."

"She didn't steal the chicken!"

The two men stared at He Hongyang in shock: "If it's not her, then who is it? Could it be the Qin sisters?"

"It wasn't them either."

"You're not going to say that Jia Dongxu stole it, are you? He's such a coward, how could he do something like that?"

"My sister-in-law came, and I didn't have anything worthwhile to offer, so I thought of this sneaky trick."

"What do we do now? No one is home. They must have taken the chicken to a faraway place to dispose of it. If we just eat it like that, we won't be able to find any evidence against them."

Zhao Ailing said anxiously, "I fed these chickens twice a day. They finally grew up and were waiting to lay eggs for my children to eat. I never expected them to be stolen."

"He must have thought we wouldn't dare to make a fuss, which is why he was so bold."

"I'm afraid he'll get carried away this time and come back again next time."

“Like father, like son. Jia Zhangshi loves to do these petty thefts, and now it’s her son’s turn.”

He Hongyang naturally wouldn't let him succeed.

To catch a thief red-handed.

Grab their wrists as quickly as possible before they eat the chicken.

Wake up Sha Zhu.

"Come out with me."

Sha Zhu heard that Jia Dongxu had stolen his chickens.

He was so angry that he flew into a rage.

"Once I catch him, I'll skin that brat alive!"

But then I thought, the outside world is so big, where would they go to catch him?

"Go outside the city."

The three men stared wide-eyed: "It's an hour's drive outside the city. You mean he actually went all the way outside the city for a chicken?"

If it were someone else, they probably wouldn't have done that.

But Jia Dongxu was timid, and after stealing the chicken, he was terrified.

He simply didn't dare to handle it in the city.

They were even more afraid of being seen by others.

He Hongyang recalled that his mother used to go outside the city to dig for wild vegetables.

He was right; he was going outside the city to deal with the chicken!

It rained lightly last night.

The road surface was damp and muddy.

There's almost no one outside right now; if they've just left, they must have left traces.

There were four people in the group.

Jia Dongxu was wearing the factory's safety shoes.

Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi were wearing cloth shoes.

Qin Jingru was wearing the white sneakers he had given her yesterday.

White sneakers have deep treads on the soles, and few people wear them, making them easy to spot when they're on the ground.

really!

Just outside the courtyard, we found their footprints.

"Look, these are the footprints they left behind. If we follow the footprints, we will definitely find them."

Sha Zhu scratched his head: "Big brother, how are you sure it's theirs?"

But wait until you hear He Hongyang's analysis.

He nodded repeatedly in admiration.

Brother, you're absolutely amazing!

They were able to tell the footprints on the ground were theirs just from their shoes.

The two men followed the footprints to the outskirts of the city.

At this moment, Jia Dongxu had already done as he had imagined: first, he sprinkled salt on the chicken, and then he wrapped it in mud.

They lit a fire on top and kept adding firewood.

While warming himself by the fire, he swallowed hard, saying, "When the aroma wafts out, the chicken will be ready, and we can eat it."

Qin Huairu was the first to raise her hand: "I want to eat a big chicken leg, both chicken legs are mine."

Qin Jingru was the second to raise her hand: "I want to eat the flesh on your body. I want the part with the most flesh."

They were eating chicken legs, one of them wanting the meatiest parts.

This chicken is about this size.

After they divided it up, there was almost nothing left.

Madam Jia rolled her eyes at them: "You all know how to eat. Don't forget that this chicken was brought by my son, so he has to distribute it."

Qin Huairu immediately looked at Jia Dongxu and asked, "Do you think I can have a chicken leg?"

Qin Jingru tugged at his sleeve: "Brother-in-law, please let me eat more. After I eat, I will definitely speak well of you when I return to the village."

Are they both begging for their money?

Jia Dongxu had never received such treatment before.

Especially Qin Huairu.

She kept blinking at herself.

Does she mean that if he gives her the chicken leg, he can go to bed with her tonight?

I never imagined a chicken could be so powerful.

If he had known this would happen, he should have stolen it sooner.

Thinking of all the chickens in the He family's chicken coop, he impulsively made a promise to them.

"Eat whatever you want, the chicken legs are yours, and the meatiest part of the chicken is yours!"

Madam Jia said unhappily, "If they all eat, what am I supposed to eat?"

"Mom, don't worry, it's not like we're having this once. I can get more another day."

Upon hearing that there would be a next time, all the women swallowed hard and looked at him.

You mean we can eat it again next time?

"That's right, don't underestimate me, Jia Dongxu. I used to be someone who didn't fight, but if I really did, I'd be a formidable opponent."

Madam Jia looked at her son with delight: "I knew you were capable. They say great things come to those who wait, and it seems my son is truly promising!"

Qin Huairu glanced at him: "I don't even know whose house they stole the chicken from. If people find out, I don't believe you'll do it again."

"You don't need to worry about that. I have my own ways. Your man is amazing, isn't he? Now you can finally have some meat!"

"Shut your mouth. I'll make sure you get to eat meat regularly from now on, then you can be smug."

Qin Jingru couldn't wait any longer.

They kept adding firewood and constantly sniffing around.

I hope the fragrance will spread soon.

Wait until you smell the faint fragrance.

He was so eager that he was about to crawl over the dirt: "The aroma is already wafting out, let's start eating!"

"No, we have to wait a little longer."

"So much time has passed, my stomach has been growling for ages, how much longer do I have to wait?"

"Wait until the aroma is enhanced, then the cooking time will be just right, and the chicken will be tender and juicy."

Everyone could only be patient and continue to wait.

Following the footprints, He Hongyang saw a small hill not far away, from which wisps of smoke rose.

He pulled Sha Zhu along.

"They should be there."

Okay!

They even started a fire!

It seems they intend to bake it.

They raised their chickens little by little, and now they're getting a bargain.

“I’m going over there right now, and I’ll make him vomit up all our chickens.”

Judging from their appearance, they probably haven't eaten yet.

"Letting it go like this would be too easy on them."

As he spoke, he took out a slingshot from his pocket.

"I'll make sure they eat it!"

"Whoosh!"

It shot over in one go.

This hit them right on the fire they had started.

Jia Dongxu was terrified, thinking he had been discovered.
