Chapter 119: Chapter 119: The Tigress of the Gan Siniu Family
While they were causing a ruckus, two old hens appeared at the door.
The two old hens were moving slowly, but they made their way directly to the entrance.
There, standing at the doorway, they looked around and then saw the scattered herbal medicines.
One of the bags of medicinal herbs had been opened by Liu Zheng, so it was now scattered on the ground.
The two old hens glanced at it and, not caring much, began pecking at it.
As for the speed at which they ate, it was indeed quite fast, and in no time at all, they had pecked everything clean.
Tang Yunyun saw this scene and felt heartbroken. She wanted to go over, but was stopped by Liu Zheng again.
"Yun Yun, I don’t want to keep explaining myself because you don’t believe me. If that’s the case, nothing I say makes a difference," he said.
He turned his head to look at the medicinal herbs scattered on the ground.
Almost none were left; the old hens had eaten them.
But there was another bag that was still intact, so Liu Zheng pointed to it and said, "Look, there’s another bag of herbs. I’ll take you back to see Wan Ru now. Her family specializes in selling medicinal herbs, so naturally she will know what these are for. Then you’ll understand what this laxative is used for."
As he finished speaking, Liu Zheng intended to walk over and pick up the unopened bag of medicine.
However.
Just as Liu Zheng walked over to pick up the bag, the two old hens that had just eaten the herbs suddenly let out strange cries.
"Cluck cluck..."
Then their bodies trembled, and soon afterward, runny feces sprayed out from their rears.
Until then, Tang Yunyun hadn’t thought much of it, but now she heard the hens’ cries and curiously glanced over.
The "plop" sound of the runny feces didn’t concern her much.
By this time, Liu Zheng had picked up the bag of herbs, and he wasn’t paying too much attention to the two old hens either.
But the hens, whether uncomfortable or for some other reason, quickly ran away.
What Liu Zheng and company did not notice was that the two hens quickly ran to the neighbor’s doorway.
At that moment, the neighbor’s door opened, and an elegant woman stepped out.
She looked beautiful and well-dressed.
After coming out and seeing her own hens, she couldn’t help but get irritated, wanting to chase these two unruly creatures back into their coop.
However.
Before she could take action, the two old hens suddenly emitted two "plop" sounds from behind.
Then two large spurts of watery feces burst forth, splattering onto her pant legs.
This utterly disgusted her.
She stomped her foot in frustration and began to curse, "What is happening here? They were fine just a moment ago, and now suddenly...?"
While cursing, she involuntarily surveyed her surroundings.
The place wasn’t very big, so she quickly spotted the kraft paper on the ground nearby, and she also noticed the bag wrapped in kraft paper in Liu Zheng’s hand.
The woman who witnessed this scene immediately understood what had happened and became furious. Then, with her hands on her hips and in a posture like that of a compass in some grandmaster’s writings, she pointed at Liu Zheng and started yelling, "You little scoundrel, you heartless thing! How did my old hens offend you, huh? Did you actually feed them laxatives?"
"If you think I’ve wronged you, if you think I’ve offended you, come at me! You have the laxative, right? Feed it to me! If you don’t have the guts, then don’t take it out on my family’s hens," she said.
As she spoke, the attractive woman approached Liu Zheng and his group. Her face, which was quite pretty, now seemed a bit ferocious and terrifying.
Just by her demeanor, it seemed that she was on the verge of giving Liu Zheng a good slap if things didn’t go her way.
Looking at the wrathful appearance of the beautiful woman, Liu Zheng couldn’t help but take a sharp breath.
Why did it have to be that those two old hens belonged to this woman?
Now he was really in for it, she would certainly flay a layer of skin from him.
When it comes to neighbors, distant relatives are inferior to near neighbors, and near neighbors are inferior to those directly across the street.
Neighbors live close by and should have a very good relationship.
But,
it just so happened that the Liu Family, though neighbors with this woman’s family, did not get along well.
This woman named Du Xiaohua, don’t think she’s in her forties or fifties now, but back in her day, she was a famous beauty renowned in ten miles around.
Even now, though she’s older, her appearance and figure haven’t changed much.
Look at her skin, how fair and smooth it is.
Look at the big waves in her hair, how fashionable.
Look at her figure, so curvaceous, absolutely a great figure, and when she walks, she sways like willow leaves in the wind.
Big eyes, a perky nose, and very sensual red lips.
When she walks with a sway at this time, she looks like nothing less than a gorgeous creature.
Such a beautiful person marrying into Yuanbao Village was indeed a curious event.
You must know, twenty years ago, Yuanbao Village was very poor,
and moreover, many knew of Du Xiaohua’s notorious reputation and also knew that marrying her would cost a handsome sum.
Gan Siniu of Yuanbao Village was a poor devil, and not a particularly noticeable man.
At that time, when he brought Du Xiaohua home as his wife, everyone was talking and found it quite incredible.
Speaking of Gan Siniu himself, he had no notable skills, nor anything extraordinary, so how could he marry such a beautiful woman?
People were curious, so they began to speculate.
In the beginning, it was said that Gan Siniu won her over with money, but the Gan Family did not have much to spare, so then some said that Du Xiaohua used to trade in flesh outside.
But this rumor was not reliable.
After all, many knew what Du Xiaohua used to do in her own village, so even if there were such rumors, they didn’t really harm her reputation.
Because this rumor wasn’t very credible, later another story emerged, claiming that the reason Du Xiaohua married Gan Siniu was actually significant.
Gan Siniu’s name was not his real one.
His name was a homophonic joke.
In other words, Gan Siniu actually meant "Gan is awesome," suggesting that Du Xiaohua must have been involved with Gan Siniu long before, and the only reason she could marry him was because Gan Siniu was too formidable, she couldn’t leave him, and eventually, she just married him.
This kind of tale was naturally baseless, after all, it was all hearsay and not credible at all.
And the Liu Family, actually having been neighbors with the Gan Family for decades, knew their situation very well.
The Gan Family might seem like just three brothers, but in fact, they had four siblings altogether.
It’s just that one had gone missing many years ago, leaving only three.
Gan Siniu was the youngest of the four, hence his name.
Of course, to speak of the grievances between the two families, one must go back twenty years.
