Qiao Mei’s village was in a mountainous area, so all the neighbors were located far away from one another.
However, the aggressive manner in which Qiao Zhuang and his family rushed to Qiao Mei’s courtyard meant that the act was witnessed by many people.
These people did not crowd around to join in as this was a family matter between Qiao Qiang and Qiao Zhuang and both of them had strong personalities.
If this was happening at someone else’s house, the busybodies would have come over to add their few cents’ worth.
However, what Qiao Mei said was indeed not very appropriate. In that era when village life was pure and simple, it was very usual for people in the countryside to take food from one another. It was not considered as being demanding.
“Auntie, your words are really interesting. Relatives sharing vegetables?” Qiao Mei’s expression darkened and she said mockingly, “In the village, who doesn’t know that my family doesn’t have enough vegetables to eat? We still go out to buy vegetables every month, so which one of your families are we supposed to share vegetables with? When I was young, I went to pick vegetables at your place and even got kicked out with a beating!
This incident happened five years ago. At that time, the original owner of the body was going through puberty.. When there were no more vegetables left in the house, she was so hungry that she ran to Qiao Zhuang’s vegetable garden to ask for a bunch of vegetables, but was kicked out in the end.
Big Auntie Qiao also felt a little embarrassed when she thought of this matter, but she still continued to say stubbornly, “Your family has two people, but our family has more than ten people. How do we have food for you?”
“Yes! That’s the logic!” Qiao Mei said loudly. “In that case, my family also doesn’t have enough food. Why should I let you pick any?”
This sentence completely shut Big Auntie Qiao up, her own words being used against her in such a manner that she could not rebut.
Qiao Zhuang’s family looked at Qiao Mei and then at Qiao Zhuang. The atmosphere had become awkward.
Qiao Zhuang stared at Qiao Mei wordlessly.
The neighbors who had come over looked at Qiao Mei in surprise. They could not imagine that these clear and logical words were coming out of the mouth of this simple-minded person.
Qiao Qiang stood at the back with his eyes slightly red.
Qiao Mei looked at Qiao Zhuang and said in a straightforward manner, “Second Grandpa, if you really want to help us, then grandfather and I will always remember this kindness. But if your intention is to use this reason to come over and take my family’s land, then that’s impossible!”
As soon as she said that, everyone was stunned and fell silent.
Qiao Zhuang sized Qiao Mei up, no one knew what he was thinking. In the end, he shouted, “Go! Let’s go back!”
His voice was curt and his words clearly revealed his intentions. His motive was to seize this piece of land.
Although, based on his character, it was not as if he needed to hide his intentions. After all, he was the biggest bully in the village. Did bullies need self respect?
