Chapter 253 Chapter Twenty

Not long after consummating the house with the master, Miss Seven's belly gradually grew bigger like a balloon that was blown into air. Although Miss Seven became the master's concubine, her treatment was not much better than before.The master's eldest wife is a stingy and jealous woman who gives as little as she can for food and use.When eating, the master was still at the table with her, and the seventh girl was still at the table with her parents. Seventh girl was very angry, but there was nothing she could do.The master only took a fancy to her because of her looks, but he never thought about giving her the family property.

In the spring of the second year, Seventh Girl's belly became round and swollen, and she finally gave birth to a child on a sunny afternoon. There is a customary rule in this place, that is, within a few days after giving birth, a woman must eat a chicken to nourish her body.Not to mention those who have chickens at home, and those who don’t have chickens at home have to buy a chicken to feed the woman who gave birth. Miss Seven has something to look forward to now.She has raised chickens and ducks for half her life, but she has never tasted chickens and ducks.She hoped that the master or wife would bring a bowl of steaming and fragrant, and then hand her a pair of bamboo chopsticks.She salivated as she thought about it, as if her whole life had been waiting for this moment.After eating a bowl of chicken, it seems that there will be no more complaints and no inequality in her life.

However, after looking forward to it for a long time, the master or wife brought a steaming bowl to her table. Seventh girl couldn't bear it anymore, she went to find her wife angrily. "Others eat chicken when they give birth, why don't you kill a chicken for me to eat?" Miss Seven yelled at his wife confidently.The wife was having dinner with the master at that time.The wife dropped her chopsticks and looked at the menacing Seventh Girl.The master still eats by himself as if nothing had happened, and throws the fight to these two women with a huge difference in age. The wife sneered and said, "The chickens raised at home have just started laying eggs. How about slaughtering another one for you after they finish laying eggs?"

Seventh girl argued: "The hen lays eggs, then I will eat the rooster." The wife laughed and said, "Without the rooster, the hen can't lay eggs. If you eat the rooster, isn't that the same as eating the hen? You should wait." Seventh girl said angrily: "There are so many roosters, but if you kill one, the hen won't be able to lay eggs? Are you looking for an excuse not to eat it for me? Although I am a partial house, I gave birth to a child for the master. How many times have you come?" In ten years, I haven't seen a single egg, are you jealous of me, afraid that I will become a family?"

As the saying goes, don't hit someone in the face.The wife's complexion suddenly changed when Seventh Girl exposed her shortcomings like this: "Are you still laughing at me? I haven't laughed at you yet!" Seventh girl retorted: "What can you laugh at me? I am upright and I am not afraid of crooked shadows." The wife scolded: "Don't think it's all right after you give birth to a child. I can't lay an egg, but it's not sure whether the egg you lay is the master's. Yes. You say that killing a rooster will not affect you. A hen lays eggs, but the eggs that a hen lays are the eggs of another rooster."

Seventh girl became angry with embarrassment: "You, what do you mean by this? Don't think I can't hear it. You can't scold people like that!" The wife sneered, and looked at Miss Seven again: "Isn't it? Master is so old, can he still have a child with you? Who would believe it?" After hearing this, the master put his chopsticks on the table and said, "You can't say that." The wife's anger grew even bigger immediately, and she pointed at the master with spit and shouted: "Old man, when I don't tell you to talk, you can eat well for me. Don't tell me to splash soup on your face!"

The master immediately fell silent, picked up the chopsticks on the table and continued to add vegetables to the bowl. The wife pointed at Seventh Girl and cursed: "Who knows if the bastard you gave birth to is from a wild man outside! How dare you come to me and ask for a chicken!" Seventh girl was scolded by his wife like this, and immediately cried and wanted to fight with his wife.At this time, Seventh Girl's parents hurried in and took their daughter away. After Miss Seven returned to her room, the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and she smashed everything in the room that could be smashed, and tore up everything that could be torn.She had just given birth to a child, and her bones were very weak, so she fell ill on the bed after being so angry and fussy.

After humming on the bed for a few days, Miss Seven died.Before she died, she said intermittently: "I want to eat...I want to eat...I want to eat chicken..." After Seventh Miss died, the wife did not hold any decent funeral for her, and buried her hastily with a straw mat. Seven days later, the chickens at my wife's house began to be restless. Every night around twelve o'clock, the chickens were noisy.The next day, when I went to the chicken cages, several chickens had their necks broken and their blood was scattered all over the floor. At first the wife thought it was a weasel who had come to steal the chicken, so she stayed up at night and secretly guarded beside the chicken coop with a sickle in her hand.However, the wife kept watch for three nights in a row, but the weasel did not come in.Other residents in the village who raised chickens lost several chickens.They also heard the crowing of chickens at twelve o'clock in the evening, and saw the broken neck of the chicken the next day.

One night, a man who raised chickens at home got up to urinate. After seeing the whole process of the chicken being killed, he was so scared that he peed directly in his pants. The news spread the next day that it was not the weasel who stole the chicken.People naturally thought of the poor girl Seven.The story of Seven Girls stealing chickens spread among people.But the number of chickens in the village continued to decrease, but no one could come up with a solution.It wasn't until five years later that everyone knew the way to crack Seven Girls stealing chickens because of a chance. Coincidentally, no one would have thought that the person who cracked Seventh Girl's chicken stealing was actually the child she left behind during her lifetime.

After Seventh Girl died, the chickens and ducks in the rich man's house were transferred to this child to take care of them.Seventh girl's parents don't have their own land, and they will be hungry if they leave the rich man, so even if they complain about their daughter's injustice, they can only swallow their breath and continue to work long-term jobs at the rich man's house.And the children left by Seventh Miss still cannot eat at the same table with the master and wife, and can only eat rice bran with Seventh Miss's parents. One day, the wife asked the child to go to the town to buy sugar.It was already evening when the child came back from buying sugar, and the wife had already gone to bed.The child didn't dare to wake up his wife, so he hung the sugar on the fence of the chicken coop, and then went back to the house where Miss Seven lived to sleep.

In the middle of the night, the clucking clucking sounded again in the chicken coop. It was low-pitched at first, then gradually louder, and finally the whole flock screamed crazily. The crowing of the cock woke up everyone in the house, the master, wife, Seventh Miss's parents, and the child all got up and ran to the front of the chicken coop to check.
