"Who knows if she was bitten by a snake or some other wild beast. After that, she wanted to blame it on our dog. After that, she would shamelessly ask for compensation. It's not like she hasn't done something like this before." Just a while ago, because of the matter with the Elementary Scholar, she had taken ten taels of silver from her family. Everyone knew about this matter, but when it came out from Tian Xiaoqing's mouth, it had changed.
Tian Xiaomeng glanced at Tian Xiaoqing, but did not refute her.
Li Zhengzhi's eyebrows curved. "How many chickens have died?" He knew that there was a family that wanted to raise chickens, but he didn't expect that something bad would happen in just a day.
"Thirty-two." Tian Xiaomeng pursed her red lips, "If there's no evidence, then I can't come here either. Grandpa Leezheng, take a look at the dog's legs and see if there's any grass on them."
Li Zheng looked down for a moment and nodded his head. "Indeed."
"In order to make the chicks sleep more comfortably at night, I put quite a bit of grass ashes into the chicken coop. If the dog didn't go, how could there be grass dust on his feet?"
"But grass ash is very common, every household has it." Just based on this point alone, it didn't mean anything.
"Grandpa Leezheng, didn't you notice that bones seem to have reached my house along the way?" Tian Xiaomeng said indifferently.
"There is such a thing." Li Zheng really didn't know.
If that was the case, wouldn't that mean that someone was trying to lure the dog in?
Tian Xiaomeng jumped off the carriage and walked in front of the dog to collect the dead chickens. Tian Xiaomeng jumped off the carriage and walked in front of the dog to collect the dead chickens.
Just like that, he walked away with three sniffs and one licking, sniff and one sniff.
From the looks of it, he knew that there was food on the ground.
"Tian Xiaomeng, if you want to compensate us, just say so. Why are you spouting slander? It can't be that our master can move your little chicks, right?" Tian Xiaoqing clenched her fists tightly. This Tian Xiaomeng was too despicable. Just how did she find out?
What should he do now? Give her some silver coins. He would rather die than admit it and wait for his parents to come back.
"Compensation is a small matter. Based on this matter, if it was done by someone else, isn't that too wicked? Grandpa Leezheng, don't you think so?" Compensation, if the person does not offend her, she is sick to come here to start a fight.
Li Zheng nodded his head. "Xiaomeng, don't worry. If someone really wants to harm your chick, Grandpa will surely give you justice. However, this beast doesn't know how to talk and we won't be able to get anything out of it. Otherwise, wait for the couple to come back before making a decision." Xiaoqing and her sister were only two girls. They couldn't make the decision, so they decided to wait until the adults returned.
"Grandpa Leezheng, even if this was done by my dog, he is just a dog that doesn't understand human nature. Do you want my dog to fight with its life?" She had really underestimated Tian Xiaomeng. She had never thought that Tian Xiaomeng would actually compare notes with a dog and even told her the truth. It was absolutely impossible for her to compensate Tian Xiaomeng with silver.
Besides, this dog and the chicken are not on the right side of things. Everyone in the village knows about your family buying so many chickens, not to mention the dogs. If you want to blame something, blame yourselves for not locking the door properly and letting my dog take advantage of the loophole. Xiaoqing felt her back straighten as she said this.
Yes, what did the dog's crime have to do with her?
Even if Tian Xiaomeng were to say something decent, someone would have to believe her.
Tian Xiaomeng only smiled.
Dogs do not understand human nature, and humans do not understand human nature, right?
Since it was like this, then he couldn't blame her.
He walked up to the cart and gently untied the rope, then patted the cow's head.
The cow took two steps forward.
Tian Xiaoqing took two steps back and her face turned pale. "Tian Xiaomeng, you lunatic, what are you trying to do?" It couldn't be that Tian Xiaomeng wanted to make a fool out of them, right?
"Xiaomeng, what are you doing? You can't do such a stupid thing. Grandpa will get justice for you for the loss of your chick. If you let the cow hurt someone, Grandpa won't be able to help you." He could not see what Tian Xiaomeng was trying to do.
"Xiaomeng." Tian Youfeng had no idea what a woman was up to. It was against the law to let an ox run into a person in broad daylight. It was not easy for his family to get out of prison.
"Dad, why are you in such a hurry? I'm that stupid, to let an ox hurt someone in front of so many people, I'd have to do it in the middle of the night." Dad, what are you in a hurry for, I'm that stupid, to let an ox hurt someone in front of so many people, to actually hurt someone in the middle of the night? Tian Xiaomeng's tone was strange as she turned her ears to her ears.
Tian Xiaoqing turned green and then white as she listened. She really dared to say that to Tian Xiaomeng.
It hurts to release cattle in the middle of the night.
"Grandpa Leezheng, did you hear that? She's crazy." Tian Xiaoqing gritted her teeth. She was starting to regret provoking this madman.
Li Zheng frowned, "Xiaomeng, your thoughts aren't right. Go back with your father first. Wait until the couple returns, then they can explain everything to you."
He had heard that Xiaomeng had fallen down from the mountain and returned from prison. Her style of doing things had become completely random.
Looking at her actions today, she was really crazy. In order to not let Xiaomeng cause trouble, she was coaxing her in a low voice.
"Grandpa Leezheng, this is a chicken that my father spent half of his family's stock of livestock to buy, and later he even pointed at these chickens to make a fortune. Even if it was bitten by this dog and lost my life, I will only suffer a small loss and make this dog pay for the life of my 32 chickens, how about it?"
She wasn't lacking in silver.
She didn't have the heart to ask Tian Xiaoqing's family to compensate her with silver.
Even if it was a dog crime, the dog should be responsible for it.
"This …" Li was in a tough spot, logically speaking, this dog should have killed all 32 chickens in his house, which was not a big deal, but the problem was, the price of all 32 chickens might not even be worth the price of a dog.
"Grandpa Leezheng, I hope that you can treat this matter fairly. Your dad and I will go back first. I will bring this dog with me." At some point, Tian Xiaomeng had tied the rope around the dog's neck while the dog was happily playing with the cow.
Everyone was petrified seeing this scene.
How did Tian Xiaomeng do it just now? This dog was so meek, yet she let her catch it.
Tian Xiaomeng helped the cow into the carriage and jumped in. She then patted the cow's butt and said, "Niu'er, let's go home."
"Tian Xiaomeng, what are you doing? That's my dog." Tian Xiaoqing felt like vomiting blood.
What kind of person was this? He was simply a bandit, a bandit, and there was no reason for him to do so.
