"In the past, I always thought that since we lost our parents and had no one behind us, it would be better to avoid trouble and endure it. But now, elder sister found out that there are some people that you can tolerate, but he didn't know that you were letting him win. Instead, he felt that you were afraid of him, so he always pushed his luck. So from now on, my sister's tactics changed. To those who bullied us, we will strike head on, just as Chairman Mao taught him. If people don't offend me, I won't offend them. Do you two remember?! "

Qingyu and Qinglin looked at each other and then nodded at Han Maicao. However, that nod was only a formality.

"Alright, since you two have remembered this, let me ask you two: if something like this happens again, what are you going to do?"

Qingyu and Qinglin looked at Maicao's serious face and mumbled for a long time. Finally, Qingyu whispered, "Fight with them."

"What if I can't beat him?"

Qingyu and Qinglin lowered their heads.

If you two can't beat them, then drag them into the rain as well. Hold them tightly and let them have a taste of the feeling of being drenched as well. Do you two remember?

"Got it."

The answer was as low as a mosquito, and there was a clear lack of confidence. Sigh, it was a heavy task to educate these two weak shota into becoming indomitable men.

The rain in summer came and left as soon as they said it would. When Maicao and the other two were halfway there, the rain lessened. When they were almost home, the rain stopped completely.

Just as the three of them approached their own courtyard gate, they heard the chirping of the chicks in the yard, as if they were frightened by something.

It was said that foxes roamed the nearby mountains. Those foxes would often sneak into the village to do things like stealing chickens and dogs. Could it be that foxes took advantage of the lack of people in the village to steal chickens?

Maicao stuffed the umbrella into Qingyu's hand and rushed into the yard in a few steps.

How could there be a fox in the courtyard? It was a female tiger hiding in her Chicken Coop, looking for something. Suddenly, the female tiger reached out her hand and grabbed a little chick.

As soon as the tigress had crawled out of the Chicken Coop realm, she saw a black figure appear in front of her without warning. She screamed in fear and almost threw the chick in her hands out.

"Third Girl, you're pretending to be mysterious. I wanted to scare you to death, Second Aunt!" When the tigress saw that it was Maicao standing there, she immediately shouted at Maicao.

"Second Aunt, I wanted to ask you something, why did you sneak into my clan's Chicken Coop?" With that, Maicao glanced at the struggling chick in Second Aunt's hand and continued mockingly, "Second Aunt, could it be that my family's chick has suddenly entered your elder's eyes?"

"Pah pah! Second Aunt, are you really that old? You're still an old man." After that, she showed Han Maicao the right wing of the chick, "Third Girl, look carefully, this isn't your chick cub. The color of your chick cub's coat is on the neck of your chick, and the color of this chick cub is on the right wing. This is mine, not yours, I still haven't asked you, what are you doing locking your family's chick cub inside your Chicken Coop?"

Maicao was really stumped by Second Aunt's question. These chickens were all painted with colorful colors. How could she have known that these chicks were able to confirm their owners based on where they were painted on?

Even if she knew about this, it was about to rain heavily at that time. She panicked and rushed these chickens into the Chicken Coop, not caring about identifying which one of them was hers and which was not hers.

Second Aunt saw that Maicao was stumped by her question, and her face lit up with pride, "Third Girl, as the saying goes, distant relatives are not as close as close neighbors. You said that our two families are neighbors with walls separating them. So don't take advantage of the neighbor's family in the future if you don't want to take advantage of them. "

With that, Second Aunt took the chick and left arrogantly.

Maicao looked at Second Aunt's back and was really angered. It was just a little chick, and she had unintentionally locked it up. How could she want to take advantage of her family?

Moreover, even if she wanted to find her little chick, she would have to look for it in front of everyone in her own home. But she, while there was no one in her own house, sneakily sneaked into Chicken Coop, even if she did come looking for her little chick, no matter how you looked at it, it was still a thief's actions. Why did she have to argue instead, as if she was in the wrong?

Maicao walked in front of the Chicken Coop gloomily. Seeing that the little chicks in the Chicken Coop were still in a state of shock, she suddenly thought of something and turned her head to ask the child closest to her: "Qingyu, how many chicks have we raised in total?"

Unexpectedly, the child timidly replied, "Second Sister, it's Qinglin."

Han Maicao almost vomited blood.

These two twin brothers, they looked really like models among the twins. She wasn't looking at their elder sister who grew up, so she couldn't tell which one was Qinglin and which one was Qingyu.

Maicao had been talking to these two brothers for the past few days and never called them by their first names, afraid that she would call them by the wrong people and make them suspicious.

"I'm confused by Second Aunt's anger. Let me ask you, Qinglin, do you know how many chickens we have? When sister got sick, her mind became muddled and she forgot about some things. "

"Second Sister, this spring, you bought a total of ten chickens and spent a dollar." Relatively speaking, Qingyu was more talkative than Qinglin, so before Qinglin could open his mouth, Qingyu spoke first.

"Ten?" Han Maicao looked at the chicks inside the Chicken Coop, counting in her heart. Something's not right, why is there only seven of them, could it be that three of them were raised to death?

"Why are there only seven now? "Is it just a case of death or was it taken away by a fox?" Han Maicao frowned as she asked this. In her heart, she was thinking, for such small chicks, even three of them aren't enough to fill the gaps in a fox's teeth. Could it be that they can see too?

Qingyu and Qinglin looked at each other without saying anything.

"I'm asking you, why aren't you speaking?"

"Second Sister, the three of them didn't die, they ran over to Second Aunt's home." Qingyu replied timidly after a long while.

"You ran over to Second Aunt's house? When did this happen? "

"It's too early."

"How early is it?"

The first time, and the second time, Second Sister went to Second Aunt's house to ask her for it, but Second Aunt said that she wasn't at her house. On the third time, Big Sis didn't go to Second Aunt's house to ask for it, because if she was there, it would be a waste of time. But Qinglin and I had secretly counted her chickens on the wall. It was thirteen chickens. Second Aunt bought the chickens with elder sister. They all cost a dollar, ten of them. Right now, her family has thirteen chickens, and three of them are definitely ours. "

"The evidence is conclusive, why don't you come back?"

According to what Maicao had thought in her previous life, not to mention the three chicks, even if there were a hundred of them, Maicao might not have noticed.

But now that she had come to this poor place, the form had forced her, and her heart had also become smaller. Now, not to mention three chicks, even three eggs, she had to get it back.

"Second Sister, didn't I say that you would go and ask for it? Second Aunt said that she didn't have it and even scolded her a bit. I won't take it."

As expected, she was bullied when people were weak. She was still so cocky after taking their chicks. Today, she was going to fight Second Aunt and see how cocky she was and how thick-skinned her face was.

"Qingyu, Qinglin, let's go. Let's go with Second Sister to Second Aunt's house to get a chicken." Maicao ordered the two brothers.

"Second Sister, didn't you say you don't want it?"

"What a joke, Second Sister was the one who took the money to buy those three chicks, so why would she take them for herself?" Are you going? If you don't go, I'll go alone. " After saying that, Maicao turned around and walked towards the door.

Qingyu was still standing there in a daze. Qinglin walked up to him and pulled him back, "Are you going or not?"

Qingyu immediately thought of Second Aunt's usual fierceness. His body trembled as he raised his head to look at Qinglin. Qinglin was also looking at him as if waiting for him to make a decision.

"Let's go." Qingyu seemed to have gained some courage as he said this word before taking the lead to walk towards the door. Qinglin was a bit surprised, but he quickly followed her.

Maicao walked into Second Aunt's small courtyard. When she saw Second Uncle carrying a bundle of firewood to the kitchen, she was slightly stunned when she saw Maicao arrive.

His second uncle's name was Han Shangjun, not Maicao's second uncle. However, he was from the same family as Maicao, and since they were from the same neighborhood, Qingyu and Qinglin called him second uncle. Maicao also called him that.

"Second Uncle, I'm carrying firewood to cook." Maicao took the initiative to greet him.

"Yeah, Chun Cao came to find you, right? She's cooking in the kitchen. I'll go call her."

Han Shangjun found it strange to see Maicao suddenly knocking on his door. He thought Maicao had come to find his wife, so he told her.

Second Uncle, you don't have to worry about me. I just have nothing better to do at home and came out to look around, thinking that your family's chickens are always better than mine.

As Han Maicao spoke to Han Shangjun, her eyes searched all over the place for his Chicken Coop. After her gaze swept across the Chicken Coop, she walked in front of it in a few steps.

Thirteen chickens were not a lot, so Maicao did not spend too much effort to count them out. She cursed in her heart: "Damn you, Second Aunt, you really stole my family's chickens. Let's see how I'll make you vomit today."

Second Aunt, who was in the kitchen, had already heard the conversation between Han Maicao and Han Shangjun. At first, she didn't want to come out and see Maicao, but when she heard that Maicao wanted to see her chicken, she panicked and quickly ran out of the kitchen. She didn't even have time to put down the spoon.

"Third Girl, didn't we buy the chicken with you? What's there to look at? Come over quickly, don't suddenly run over and scare them. Once this chicken is frightened, it won't lay an egg when it grows up. "

"Hey, Second Aunt, this is the first time I've heard of such a thing. You said that when our two families bought the chicken, you could directly drill into the Chicken Coop to mess with it. How could your chicken scare them to death just by looking at it?"

Suddenly, she exclaimed: "Second Aunt, I remember that you also bought a dollar at the time, ten little chicks, just like my family. Why is it that the more you raise less in my family, the more you raise more in your family?"

When Han Shangjun heard Maicao's tone, he knew what Maicao was up to today. Being called like this by Maicao made his face turn red.

It was just that this tigress of his family, he had never dared to say half a word of no. He didn't dare to say anything, and didn't want to embarrass himself by standing there. Without saying anything, Han Shangjun carried the firewood and jumped into the kitchen.

It's not like chickens can't give birth to chickens, how can there be more? You girl, it's just a blur to see, come here, Third Girl, Second Aunt told your Second Uncle to cut some meat for us. I just fried some white fat meat, and the oil was very fragrant. Second Aunt said as she prepared to pull Maicao away.

Maicao shook her off and said with a stern face, "Second Aunt, why do I feel like you have my family's little chicks in your midst?"

Hearing that, Second Aunt also pulled down her face, and her voice also went up an octave as she pointed at Han Maicao with her spoon, "Third Girl, you can't lie with your eyes wide open. Which eye of yours sees that your family's chicken is in here, and you're not even going to ask about it? If you continue to speak such nonsense to discredit me, do you believe that I will report you to the Village Chief! "

Qingyu and Qinglin, who were standing at the door of Second Aunt's house, peeped in. They were so frightened that their bodies trembled when they saw Second Aunt's shrewd look again. They couldn't help but nervously clench their hands.
