I just want to live a happy life

Chapter 341 70 The Daughter-in-law Whose Luck Was Stolen 3

Li Qiuju said angrily: "Even if it's like you said, it's me who picked up your chicken. It was already unconscious at that time. Even if it wasn't me who took it, someone else would have taken it."

"I won't pay the twenty dollars, so just give up."

Li Qiuju refused to accept the offer, but Tian Fangcao didn't want to let go of the twenty yuan either.

For a moment, there was a stalemate.

It was only after the captain’s persuasion that the matter was finally resolved.

It is a fact that Li Qiuju took Tian Fangcao's chicken. If she had sold the chicken, it would have been worth at least six dollars. But considering that Tian Fangcao would not sell it, Li Qiuju picked it up on purpose. All in all, Li Qiuju should compensate Tian Fangcao eight dollars.

Li Qiuju gave the money to Tian Fangcao with reluctance, then glared at her, waved away the villagers and went home.

Seeing that the farce was over, the villagers dispersed.

Qingyue and Zhang Ling also walked towards home.

After returning home, Qingyue saw Zhou Yan taking Yangyang to play outside, and he would look outside from time to time.

After seeing Qingyue coming back, Zhou Yan held Yangyang in his arms and walked to Qingyue: "You're back, the meal is ready, let's go back and eat."

Qingyue smiled and said, "Okay, let's go back and eat."

When I returned to the room, the food was already on the table: two dishes, steamed buns, and rice porridge.

After sitting down, they ate while listening to Yangyang's childish talk. Qingyue mentioned from time to time that Zhou Yan took good care of them, mother and son, and the atmosphere was warm.

Li Qiuju felt a pain in her heart when she thought of the eight dollars she gave to Tian Fangcao for free.

That’s eight dollars, not ten or twenty cents.

Tian Fangcao is really greedy.

What's wrong with her eating one of her chickens? It's her fault for not looking at it well.

She is feeling bored now and doesn't feel like cooking at all.

When this happened, Zhou Yong was afraid of being implicated and had already hidden away.

He came back only after seeing that there was no one at the door.

As soon as I entered the room, I asked about the incident: "How was this matter finally resolved?"

Li Qiuju said angrily: "How can we solve this problem? We ate someone else's chicken, so of course we have to pay compensation."

"How much did you lose?"

"Eight dollars."

When Zhou Yong heard it was eight yuan, his voice became much louder: "How much? You said eight yuan, eight yuan."

Thinking about how much eight dollars could buy, he became furious: "Why are you so useless? You won't just give it to me. Is eight dollars a small amount of money? Can't you think of a way to avoid paying the money?"

Li Qiuju was also angry. She was already feeling wronged, and now she felt even more wronged after he yelled at her. She yelled back, "What are you yelling at? What are you yelling at me for?"

"You said I was useless, so you became useful. I don't know who it was, but when things got out of hand today, you left me alone to face this. You are a coward, and you are useless."

"I, Li Qiuju, don't know which god I angered in my previous life, but I ended up with a useless person like you."

After saying that, Li Qiuju lay down on the kang and ignored Zhou Yong.

Zhou Yong angrily kicked the stool next to him away and walked out.

The room fell silent again.

In another room, Zhou Yong and Li Qiuju's eldest son Gangdan looked indifferent to his parents' quarreling. He was used to such quarreling.

Zhou Kerou held her brother in her arms, feeling uneasy.

She also heard what happened, but it was her fault. If she hadn't been lucky, her mother wouldn't have picked up the chicken.

What if her mother took her anger out on her? She didn’t want to be scolded by her mother.

"Brother, please go out and take a look. I'm a little worried."

My mother loves my eldest brother, so I think he won’t be scolded if he goes.

Gangdan was indifferent: "If you want to go, go by yourself."

Zhou Kerou was silent for a while. She was really worried, so she gritted her teeth, put her brother on the kang, and went.

Arriving at her parents' room, Zhou Kerou saw her mother sleeping with her eyes closed. She called out cautiously, "Mom."

When Li Qiuju heard the voice, she opened her eyes and took a look, then turned around and ignored Zhou Kerou.

When she saw Zhou Kerou, she remembered that it was because of this girl that she picked up the chicken and made her pay for it.

Isn’t she a koi? Don’t koi bring good luck?

She was "lucky" and got to eat the meat, but she also lost her eight dollars.

Li Qiuju couldn't understand how things turned out like this.

This made her doubt that Zhou Kerou's luck was fake.

Try again. If she is as unlucky next time, it means that the girl she gave birth to is not lucky.

Even if she was her biological daughter, she would not let him have an easy time.

After this day passed.

Another day, Li Qiuju picked up a fainted rabbit. She checked it again and again, but there was no mark on the rabbit.

I think this one should be a wild rabbit.

After returning home, Li Qiuju had just finished plucking the rabbit when everyone in the village came to see her.

Seeing the rabbit in Li Qiuju's hand, he shouted loudly, and then attracted some people from the village.

After this man confirmed that the rabbit in Li Qiuju's hand was his, Li Qiuju paid compensation again.

Li Qiuju lost face again.

Some people are raising rabbits now. Rabbits have strong reproductive abilities, and both rabbit fur and baby rabbits can be sold for money, so quite a few people are raising rabbits now.

If the villagers only muttered a few words behind Li Qiuju's back the last time she took Tian Fangcao's chicken, then after this incident, the villagers looked at Li Qiuju differently.

Now Li Qiuju is a well-known thief in the village. If something is lost from someone's house, the first person suspected is Li Qiuju.

Of course, Zhou Yong wasn’t having an easy time either. Li Qiuju was a thief, and he and she were husband and wife, so he was definitely not a good person either.

As a result, Zhou Yong and Li Qiuju's reputation in the village continued to decline, and they became people who were despised by everyone.

Even when walking in the village, children would run away when they saw these two people, saying as they ran, "The child thief is coming, the child thief is coming, run!"

Seeing their miserable appearance, Qingyue thought of how the original owner was also despised in the original plot, even worse off than them. As time went by, the couple also became despised by the villagers.

These two people had a hard time, and Zhou Kerou was even worse off.

The couple vented their anger on Zhou Kerou, believing that she had harmed them.

If they hadn't thought she was a lucky fish that could bring good luck, they wouldn't have ended up like this.

But the captain is very authoritative in the village. Zhou Kerou is just a child under six years old, and he will never allow anyone to abuse a child.

So what Zhou Kerou endures the most now is the frequent beatings and scoldings from the parents she loves, and her younger brother, who has endless work to do and doesn't eat well.

Zhou Yong and Li Qiuju were determined to make life difficult for Zhou Kerou.
