ch 23.2 - Shrew At The Door (2/2)
“Mom, how is it our fault if she’s bitten by the dogs when she came to steal from us?” said Cheng Xiao Xiao, but she agreed with her mother. “Mom, you stay where you are. Don’t get any closer. We wouldn’t want her to hurt you.”
Mrs. Cheng nodded. She knew that An Hung niang was an unreasonable shrewd and didn’t want to deal with her either.
Cheng Xiao Xiao walked toward An Hung niang while picking up the vegetables that she had dropped. Even though these weren’t fully grown, they were already half grown and could be stir fried. She didn’t want them to go to waste.
“Mom, big sister, what happened? Eh, our vegetables were yanked?”
“Mom, what’s happening to An Hung niang?”
“Why are the dogs trying to bite An Hung niang? Did she steal something?”
The three young ones came out of nowhere. Cheng Zheng Yuan ran over and helped Cheng Xiao Xiao in picking up the dropped vegetables. “Mom, she was stealing our vegetables?”
The out-of-breath An Hung niang was enraged. Of course, she was afraid of the mean-looking dogs in front of her, but she wasn’t going to let that show. She shouted angrily at Cheng Xiao Xiao, “You skank, how dare you sic the dogs on me! Let me tell you, I am not a nobody. You better send your dogs away now, otherwise, you will have to answer to the Willow villagers!”
“Good idea!” Cheng Xiao Xiao stared at her coldly and said to her brother, “Zheng Yuan, why don’t you hurry over to Willow Village and invite Patriarch Liu over. I would like him to opine on who’s at fault here!”
“Okay, I will head over right away. I couldn’t believe she was shouting at us after she tried to steal from us!” Cheng Zheng Yuan give An Hung niang an angry stare before running toward Willow Village.
An Hung niang seemed concerned for a second, but recovered quickly. Lifting her chin, she said, “Great, you should call the villagers over! We will take back our land and evict you all!”
