The next morning, Jiang Yuan was coaxed by her grandmother. Fearing that she would waste time, she grabbed her clothes and put them on her.

"Hurry up, no one is going to town today, we have to walk, otherwise there will be no one left if we are late."

She yawned drowsily, washed up in a hurry, carried the chicken and went out with her grandmother.

Last time we took the bus it didn't seem far, but it actually took about two hours to walk, and both of us walked at a pretty fast pace.

Although they were starving as they had not had time to eat, the two were now penniless after being robbed by the bandits.

If the chickens were not sold, there would be no money for breakfast. Jiang Yuan was a little worried that no one would buy them because they did not look good. The price of a dead chicken was much lower than that of a live chicken, and everyone was afraid of buying a sick chicken.

When grandma started chatting with passers-by who just took a look at the chicken, Jiang Yuan knew that her worries were unnecessary. Maybe she should let grandma go out to do business:

Passerby: "Why is there a green spot on your chicken?"

Grandma: "It's not sick. My chicken lays one egg every day. It's very healthy! It must have been kicked by a bandit. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been willing to kill it. It would have laid so many eggs by the New Year."

Passerby: "Bandits? I heard recently that bandits are robbing money everywhere."

"Last night our village was attacked by bandits. The leader was tall and strong, with a gun in his hand. He started rummaging around as soon as he entered the house. My chicken was scared and ran around everywhere. Who would have thought that the bandits would bother with a beast? They kicked the chicken half to death on the spot. When anyone in the village wanted to resist, the bandit fired a shot into the sky. It was louder than the firecrackers during the New Year. It was so scary!"

"It's really scary. Why should we resist? Just take some money. Life is the most important thing. As long as there is life, there will be no shortage of firewood. Money is always external. You can't bring it with you when you are born and you can't take it with you when you die."

"Of course, we didn't have any money left at home, but we had to make a living. We sold the chickens because we were desperate. When the bandits came, we almost gave them the money. I wanted to use the chickens to nourish my granddaughter during the New Year. Now I just want to get my money back and earn some living expenses."

"What bad luck, old man! This must be a way to ward off evil. How much is it? Make it cheaper, and I'll take it all."

The chicken was sold out while they were chatting, and the two went to the breakfast shop to order two bowls of porridge. Grandma also added a fried dough stick for Jiang Yuan. Seeing that she didn't order one for him, Jiang Yuan split the fried dough stick in the middle and stuffed it into Grandma's bowl.

Grandma bit into the dough stick and said: "My granddaughter is filial. I will enjoy happiness when you grow up."

On the way back, I met the aunt next door. As soon as I said hello, she came up to me with a gossipy look on her face and said, "Have you heard? I heard that the little gangster in the west was castrated last night. He crawled out of the door this morning and was sent to the health center. He was still holding his thing in his hand, and he was thinking about connecting it."

Grandma's eyes widened: "Is this true?"

"How could this be false? It was Uncle Li at the entrance of the village who said that he was the one who helped drag the patient to the clinic. But the clinic saw that the patient couldn't be cured, so they bandaged him and sent him to the county hospital. They just went there. I guess he couldn't be reconnected. Isn't this just like the eunuchs in ancient times?"

Grandma: "That's such a shame, does he know who did it?"

The aunt got even more excited, spitting all over her mouth as she spoke: "You don't know this, do you? I went to the clinic and saw that little rascal crying loudly, saying that he had a miserable life and couldn't have children without him. When they asked him who did it, he said it was too dark at night so he couldn't see her face, but he knew it was a woman. You said bandits came last night, could it be that he offended some female bandit and they came to take revenge on him? This is a loss for him, where can he find someone? Such a big guy was castrated in vain."

The female bandit herself: ...

It might be more convincing if you could put away your gloating smile when you say it's a pity.

They were almost home when the aunt pulled the grandmother to talk, "That scoundrel went to the clinic and held his penis to ask the doctor to connect it. The doctor said it couldn't be connected but he refused to believe it and insisted on stuffing it into the doctor's arms. Who dares to touch his thing? The doctor didn't take it and he didn't hold it firmly and it fell to the ground and no one picked it up for him. He cursed at the doctor on the bed and wanted to hit the doctor."

Grandma was very cooperative, "Is there such a thing?"

Aunt took a sip of the water Jiang Yuan had fetched for her to moisten her throat and continued, "That's right, the doctor's face turned black on the spot. If it were me, I would have thrown him out. But Sister Li was kind and tried to persuade him, saying, 'It's good that he's still alive. We were merciful and didn't kill him.' Who knew that the scoundrel didn't appreciate it at all and started to cry and say, 'What's the difference between a man losing his penis and being dead?' Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't see him cry so sadly when his parents died."

Finally, I heard that Wang Chao was kicked out because he had no money to pay the hospital bill and wanted to cheat the doctor. But that's a story for later.

The only purpose of his existence might be to provide everyone with something to laugh at the second day when the bandits entered the village, so that even being robbed of money by the bandits didn't seem so painful anymore.

In the evening, grandma had a good appetite and ate half a bowl of rice: "Finally, this little rascal can't harm the little girl."

Jiang Yuan put down the bowl and said hesitantly: "Grandma, I want to go out to work."

Grandma's hand froze as she picked up the food: "No! I'm worried about you going out alone."

"Let's move out together. I'm worried about grandma being alone at home."

"No, you see they make money, but they are so tired. Your father also gets paid every year. He goes to the west to weave cloth, working from nine in the morning to twelve at night. The bosses really don't treat you as a human being. Your father worked so hard to get you to go to school and find a good job, but your vicious mother didn't leave you a penny. If your father's pension was still there, you could at least go to high school safely."

Jiang Yuan walked over and hugged his grandmother: "We can't make money at home, so why don't we go out and have a look? I don't want to study anymore. I just want you to live a good life sooner."

Grandma still disagreed and looked like she would get angry if I brought it up again.

Jiang Yuan sighed and said, "I was the one who did that scoundrel thing. If we don't run away, what if he calls the police to arrest me? Grandma~"

She almost lost her balance on the bench: "You are so brave! No wonder you were not at home at night, I thought you were going to the toilet, oh~, what's going on~"

Grandma thought about it for a whole night and finally agreed. She took out the savings book and dowry she had left for Jiang Yuan.

"Take this money and go out. I won't follow you and burden you. We still have to harvest food at home. If you don't make any money, you can still have a meal here."

Jiang Yuan leaned on his grandmother's lap and said, "Grandma, let's do it together. You can't harvest all the fields by yourself. If it doesn't work, we can wait until autumn to come back and harvest. Okay?"

Grandma looked at her with red eyes: "That's right, you have never traveled far away by yourself since you were a child, I can't leave you alone."

The grandparents and grandchildren began to pack their luggage and prepare to take the bus tomorrow.

The time machine said silently: [Are you not going to take care of your gigolo? Just flirt with him and run away? Woman, you have a cruel heart. ]

Jiang Yuan's expression was tangled for a moment: [I shouldn't have provoked him that night. He was in school in town, and I didn't have time to say goodbye to him.]

Time Machine: [Men can only affect the speed at which you draw your sword. Go ahead! Build your career! Fight for your first pot of gold. Isn't that much faster than studying?]
