Du Si looked at her with unkind eyes, and asked, "So you know my food isn't for feeding chickens, right?" He looked at Mrs. Li, and added, "Otherwise, why did you ask Brother Li to ask?" As he spoke, he glanced at Brother Li who was hiding behind the crowd, and when the other party met his eyes, he hid back.

Du Si ignored him and looked at Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li's face was livid but she still said stubbornly: "How do I know, it's not just my chicken."

Du Si looked at her and at the people who came out to claim it before, "You?"

Hearing Mrs. Li's statement that she wanted to judge the matter, everyone was unhappy, and they all started talking, "Sister Li, you are doing it wrong, it's not like you said to drive the chicken over."

"That's right, if you didn't say that we wouldn't drive our own chickens into the field."

Everyone put the matter on Mrs. Li, although there are some people who still have the idea of ​​​​feeding the chickens.

Mrs. Li blushed when she saw everyone saying this, she was angry, and immediately scolded back, "I said it, but if you didn't have some thoughts in your own mind, why would you do this, I just suggested." She said Turning to Du Si again, "Also, what I'm doing is because you let a group of chickens pass by yourself. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't follow." He said with a confident look.

Du Si almost laughed out of anger, and he said, "What's your business if I drive my chicken over there? Not to mention that my chicken didn't spoil my food, even if it did, it's still mine." He took the knife and struck Two steps forward, "Do you have anything else to say?"

Everyone saw Du Si's hostility while holding a knife, and subconsciously retreated.

Mrs. Li swallowed, "Then, then I'll just apologize, neighbors and folks, why care about so much." She acted like it was your fault that you care about it.

The people around who were watching the excitement heard what Mrs. Li said, and whispered whether to apologize or not. We are all fellow villagers, so there is no need to do this.

Mrs. Li felt confident when she heard the discussion behind her, and she looked at Du Si with complacency.

Du Si didn't pay attention to her demonstration, and said: "My brother, I have to settle this account clearly. Apologize? Can an apology make up for my loss? You didn't go to my field to see it. I didn't plant it this year. How much rice, just count on these side dishes to live on, how will my husband and I live in the future after this waste?"

Du Si put down his knife and looked at the people around him with serious eyes, "You used to take care of me, so why don't you still go to eat at your place? To be honest, I'm ashamed. I used to take care of you, and Du Si remembered it in my heart. I will repay this kindness sooner or later, but what about now? As soon as I had hope, I was pinched."

After Du Si's words came out, everyone's conversations changed again, "It's worth it, it's worth it!"

"That's right, it's not easy for Xiao Si."

"That's right, I saw him go to the field to tend those vegetables early every day, and they finally grew up."

Although the vegetables grown by Du Si are actually quite easy to grow, everyone doesn't know it. After all, in everyone's mind, the vegetable plot in front of their house is enough for them to toss about, let alone Du Si's several acres of plants.

And some people also thought that Du Si would not come to eat anymore, let alone bring Fu Lang with him now, they didn't have much idea about repaying favors, they all saw the grown-up children since they were young, and they didn't eat much, if it weren't for Du Si Later, the company became more and more dissolute, so it wouldn't be so disliked by everyone.

Those who took part in driving away the chickens were a bit ashamed. Everyone was familiar with them in the village, and they were a little bit embarrassed when they were said, as if a group of elders were bullying the younger ones.

The thin-skinned one stood up first, "Let's talk, if it's not too much, I'll pay." She was only thinking about the money.

Du Si asked them to wait, and went back to the house to take out an abacus. This was found when cleaning the room for the first time. It is an old abacus. It should be used by the original owner's grandfather. He learned from others when he had time. The plan is quite simple, but there has never been a chance to display it.

In fact, it is not necessary now, but it is more formal to settle accounts with them with an abacus, and the most important thing is to have momentum.

Du Si came out with the abacus, dragged a stool and sat down, "Then I'll do a rough calculation with you, and you can point out if there is anything wrong." As he spoke, he made his abacus, and the surrounding was quiet When they got down, the sound of the abacus beads colliding up and down seemed to hit everyone's hearts, "My vegetables are grown in a relatively regular way, and the ground is also regular. There are [-] abacus beads in this row..."

After a while, Du Si dialed down the last abacus bead, "Come on, the total loss according to the rough statistics this time is 720 four coins. After dividing it, each person will have to pay me [-] coins. As for the extra bit, forget it." Du Si looked at them, "I'm not wrong, am I?"

After Du Si figured it out, some people were dissatisfied, "This is too much, who knows if it's true or not that your dish can be sold at such a high price?" It's only [-] Wen that was pecked by chickens, it's impossible! "I can invite the shopkeeper of the restaurant." Du Si smiled.

Someone nearby said, "I saw it last time, and the shopkeeper personally brought someone to collect it."

"Yeah, I saw it. I guess there could be four taels. Except when I was selling rice, I have never seen so much silver at once."

An aunt who lost money was dissatisfied, "Last time it was so much that it was more than four or two. How could it cost more than 700 texts when it was pecked by chickens? Xiao Si, don't think that we are easy to deceive, just these few chickens can How much food do you eat."

Du Si swung the abacus back to another position, smiled and said, "Because the price of vegetables has risen, who made my vegetables so good?" He looked at them, feeling helpless for them, "Who made it impossible for your chickens to eat a single tree? When eating vegetables, you have to eat which one you see."

"But it's too much." How could they get so much money around the family, and the money earned by the man in their family was used to support the family.

Seeing their silence, Du Si was not in a hurry, and flashed the faces of those people in his mind one by one, and after confirming something, he said: "It's okay if you don't lose money."

"What else can be done?"

Du Si glanced at Xiaohua strolling beside him, with a soft-hearted look, "Well, I said before that it belongs to the neighbors, and I don't want money anymore. I need some eggs at home recently, can you give them?"

Everyone nodded in unison, "Yes, yes."

Du Si nodded, "Then you go back and get them. When the eggs are brought, take your hens back."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, only Mrs. Li still looked very reluctant.

"What, Mrs. Li, do you want to lose money?" Du Si asked her seriously, with a tolerant expression on his face.

Mrs. Li glanced at her chicken whose neck hair was pulled, and reluctantly went home.

Du Si placed the tied chickens in the yard and prepared baskets for eggs.

Those who felt guilty and had stock at home took more than a dozen eggs, while those who were thick-skinned took five, six, or seven eggs, and only Mrs. Li, who was slow in the end, had one in each hand.

When Du Si looked at her, the other party was still dissatisfied. When he was about to say something, Brother Li ran over with six eggs in his arms. Aunt Li almost stared at her, and said anxiously: "You What are you doing!"

Brother Li felt so ashamed, he shook off her hand and put down the eggs, picked up his own hen, and dragged Aunt Li away with one hand.

Du Si looked at the basket full of eggs, and he was not so angry anymore. Those people were all people who helped the original owner, so he forgave them this time, and next time it will be different.
