Witty Wife, Better Life

Chapter 230: Chapters 217-223 Who Moved My Chicken

Shen Yunfang finally understood that the whole incident was still caused by those rumors, and that this time it was specifically targeted at her own chickens, only Qian Xinxue was being more circuitous about it.

A jeep drove into the entrance of Gaijiatun Village. Four men got out, claiming to be from a certain department, and it was obvious that they were after her chickens.

At this moment, she truly began to hate Qiu Shuping and Li Xianghe. If it weren’t for these two going back and spreading nonsense, those rumors wouldn’t have started. Without the rumors, she would still be living her simple life, not a worry in sight. Now things had gotten even worse, she didn’t know how her situation was going to be classified, and this was likely going to be a difficult predicament to navigate.

The backyard was in chaos as Wang Biao and another man made several trips to load the tied-up chickens into the trunk.

"Alright, bring out the person," Wang Biao shouted in the yard.

"Let’s go," the man with glasses nodded at Shen Yunfang, looking down on her from his lofty position as if looking down upon all living beings.

Shen Yunfang didn’t argue with him and obediently walked towards the door; it was best to be sensible at times like this to avoid further suffering.

Once in the yard, the man with Qian Xinxue asked, "What about this woman?"

"Take her too," said the man with glasses.

"Ah, don’t arrest me, I don’t know her, you can’t arrest me," Qian Xinxue, originally crouching on the ground in fright, immediately tried to evade the reaching hands and shouted.

"Shut up, you’re killing me with the noise," Wang Biao shouted impatiently, "forget about her, there’s no space in the car."

The last sentence was the key point.

Hearing this, Qian Xinxue collapsed back onto the ground, not daring to cast a glance at Shen Yunfang, fearing she might get dragged into the situation.

As the men were pushing Shen Yunfang out of the courtyard preparing to get into the car, from a distance Elder Shen and several villagers came running over hurriedly.

"Oh my, what are you doing?" Elder Shen was taken aback, but he still needed to understand the situation.

Wang Biao, recognizing Elder Shen as the team leader, took out a small notebook from his jacket pocket and showed it to Elder Shen.

"This..." Elder Shen recognized the notebook, "Shen Yunfang is pregnant now, could you possibly make an exception, not take her away? You can ask anything here, and I assure you she will cooperate."

The men didn’t listen, got into the car, and during these moments, started the vehicle and floored the gas pedal to drive away.

Elder Shen shook off the accountant Li’s attempts to hold him back, "What are you doing?" He chased after the car a few steps, but his old arms and legs were no match for four wheels.

Watching the car disappear into the distance, he murmured, "What can we do? What can we do?" He was truly anxious.

After realizing what needed to be done, Elder Shen hurriedly ran inside Shen Yunfang’s house, then came out pushing a bicycle, knowing he needed to go to the brigade to make a phone call.

Meanwhile, at Wang’s house. With all the commotion at Shen Yunfang’s, they had certainly heard some of it; Dashuan’s wife held Dashuan back, preventing him from going out.

Only when the car had vanished from sight did she finally let go of him.

"What are you doing? Yunfang and Hongjun have been so good to us, we can’t be so heartless," Dashuan said, agonized, squatting down and clutching his head.

He had wanted to step out and intervene; Yunfang had done so much for his family, how could he stand by and do nothing in her time of need?

Dashuan’s wife snapped at him irritably, "You better stand up, and drop that worthless act. What good would it do for you to rush out like that? Can your arm outmuscle their legs? Hurry up, go to my parents’ place and borrow a bicycle, head to the county armed forces department. Remember the leader with the surname Xing who came to our village last time? Go find him and explain the situation; he can definitely save Yunfang." She had just seen the bicycle being taken away by the team leader and realized he was surely going to call Li Hongjun. But she felt that distant waters can’t put out a nearby fire, and with Li Hongjun being so far away, even if he had long arms, they wouldn’t be able to reach them in time.

Upon hearing this, Dashuan momentarily paused, then leaped to his feet and flashed a foolish grin at his wife, "Wife, you’re the thorough one, I’ll listen to you."

"Oh stop it, I’m always the worst person in your mind," Dashuan’s wife was not in a joking mood, and she planned to deal with him once this was all over.

There was no time for bickering; one went to help out at Yunfang’s house and to watch it, while the other sprinted towards the village outskirts.

As for Shen Yunfang, after sitting in the car, she calmed down completely. If it’s a blessing, it’s not a disaster, and if it’s a disaster, it can’t be avoided. Since it had come to this, getting angry and anxious was of no use; she’d let things take their natural course. She was actually curious to see what would happen next.
