If you weren't careful and he stole your eggs, all your efforts would be in vain.
Old Man Zhuang thought of this and said, "Jin Lai is a pickpocket. If we raise chickens and he steals our eggs, what can we do? Can we go to their house and start a fight? They would just cry and make a scene, and we'd end up getting angry for nothing."
Zhao Guihua: "I know, but both my eldest daughter-in-law and I are at home. Can't we two watch over the chickens and prevent the thief and his brothers from stealing? That would make us too useless, wouldn't it? Besides, I'm raising chickens for our youngest daughter-in-law to recuperate. If anyone wants to exchange eggs with me, I have a reason to refuse. Once she gives birth and finishes her 'month of confinement', I won't raise them anymore."
