Chapter 203 Arrogant and Unreasonable

Although he still had tens of thousands of points, Chen Feng didn't plan to use them for the time being. If he used them again and expanded the scope, the efficiency would actually decrease.

Let's save it for future depth upgrades.

After upgrading the system, Chen Feng lay down comfortably to sleep.

Around four in the morning, Huang Fei's alarm clock rang. He groggily turned off his phone and waited a few minutes before getting up.

"Get up, everyone, stop sleeping, we should go."

A chorus of reluctant voices filled the room, but most of them still sat up and yawned.

The group, dressed in bathrobes, went downstairs to wash up, went back upstairs to change, paid the bill, found a breakfast shop, and after eating their fill, returned to the car and began their journey home.

Meanwhile, around 7 a.m., Liu Ping was carrying some seeds to the vegetable garden of her new house.

Although construction is underway, it doesn't stop her from planting vegetables. She has spent a lot of effort these past few days clearing the abandoned vegetable garden, and today she can finally plant vegetables.

Although it's a bit late in terms of the month, it's okay. We can treat it as planting some late-season vegetables so we can have something to eat in the fall.

But when she carried her things to the vegetable garden of the new house, she was immediately taken aback by what she saw.

On the right side of the vegetable garden, about a third of the area had been fenced off, and the old lady next door, Sun Ling, was planting vegetables inside, her buttocks sticking out.

Upon seeing this, Liu Ping was furious. "What the hell do you mean by this? What's the meaning of building a fence on my own garden and planting vegetables on the land I just turned over? Are you trying to get yourself killed?!"

"Sun Ling, what are you doing? Who gave you permission to plant vegetables in my garden? Why are you putting up a fence?"

Liu Ping walked over, picked up her things, and said angrily.

Hearing Liu Ping's unpleasant words, the fat woman Sun Ling stood up and turned around, saying rudely, "What do you mean 'your garden'? This is my garden. I grow vegetables in my garden, what's it to you!"

"I haven't even said what you've been doing, digging up my property. Are you just bored and looking for trouble?!"

Hearing these shameless words, Liu Ping was furious. She pointed at Sun Ling and cursed, "You're talking nonsense! Which one is your garden? Where is your garden?!"

“When I bought the house, Mrs. Zhang made it very clear that this whole garden belonged to her. What garden is this? You have no shame!”

"Besides, your garden isn't behind your house, it's behind someone else's house. You're kidding me!"

Sun Ling snorted and said, "You don't know, this garden was allocated to me by Mrs. Zhang more than ten years ago. I have enough to eat on my own, so I've never planted anything. Now that I don't have enough to eat, what's wrong with me planting something!"

"Go to hell! You said Old Mrs. Zhang allocated the land to you, but why didn't she mention it when I bought the house? Besides, I confirmed with her several times that this whole garden belonged to her!"

"Why the hell did you have to come out and plant now of all times? Do you think everyone else is stupid?!" Liu Ping pointed at her and cursed.

“I’ll take you for an idiot. So what? This garden is mine. Even if you drag Mrs. Zhang over, it won’t matter. Just watch whether I plant it or not!” Sun Ling retorted, pointing at Liu Ping.

The two of them were hurling insults at each other across the fence. Judging from their posture, if it weren't for the fence, they would definitely have started fighting.

Hearing the arguing, Sun Ling's son, Sun Liang, came out. He was in his twenties and usually farmed at home, sometimes doing odd jobs.

"Mom, stop arguing, go back home, why are you arguing with her?" Sun Liang said, pulling Sun Ling along.

"Don't pull me away! I'm going to fight her today. I've never been afraid of anyone in this village. You dare to curse me? Who do you think you are!"

Sun Ling jumped up and down as she cursed, and the more her son pulled her, the more fiercely she cursed.

"Go to hell, you shameless old woman! Everything is yours, and you even have to pick up someone else's poop and wave it in the field. How can you be so shameless? Why don't you just say that all the land in the village is yours? Don't try to outdo me in shamelessness!"

Liu Ping put her hands on her hips and shouted angrily.

Their argument quickly attracted many villagers, especially Li Dazhuang and his colleagues who were working at the farm.

Upon seeing this, Li Dazhuang quickly put down his tools, stepped forward to mediate, and pulled Liu Ping apart.

"Auntie, stop arguing, Auntie," Li Dazhuang said, trying to calm her down.

"Don't pull me away! I'm going to see just how shameless this old woman is today, what a piece of trash she is!" Liu Ping spat.

With the help of a group of villagers, it took them quite a while to separate, and they each went back to their own homes.

Back home, Liu Ping sat on a stool, picked up the cantaloupe Chen Feng had bought for her, broke it open, and took a bite.

I've been cursing all morning, and I'm a bit thirsty from it all.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. What kind of people were they, coming to her land to build a fence and claiming it as her land?

"Auntie, calm down. I'm going back to work now. Fengzi should be back in a few days. We'll talk about it then."

What could Li Dazhuang say? He could only try to persuade him first, and then decide what to do when Chen Feng returned.

"Okay, Dazhuang, you can go first. Are you thirsty? Here, have a melon." Liu Ping picked up a melon and handed it to Li Dazhuang.

"I'm not eating, Auntie. You can sit here. I'm leaving now. Call me if you need anything," Li Dazhuang said as he left.

"Okay, sure." Liu Ping nodded.

After seeing Li Dazhuang off, Liu Ping sat back down, took a bite of melon, and her mind was preoccupied with this matter.

She herself was actually a little unsure why Sun Ling said that Mrs. Zhang had allocated this land to her more than ten years ago.

Sun Ling couldn't have fabricated something like this out of thin air.

But if I really do get scratched, then what will I be doing? Haven't I been fooled by Mrs. Zhang?

After finishing a melon, Liu Ping took a deep breath. She decided to wait for Chen Feng to return before discussing anything further.

When Chen Feng arrived home, it was around 6 p.m. As the two cars entered the village, everyone knew they had returned.

As soon as Chen Feng parked his car in the yard, an elderly man passing by greeted him, "Fengzi is back."

"Yeah, I'm back." Chen Feng turned around and started packing his things with his bag on his back.

"Go back and check on her quickly. Your mother got into a fight with Sun Ling today, and I heard it was quite serious," the man said impatiently.

"What the hell?" Chen Feng put down the dirty clothes he was holding and frowned.

“It’s true, a lot of people in the village saw it. I heard that your mother had Li Dazhuang carry it home.”

The old man slapped his thigh and said.

"Fuck you, I'm going inside to check right now." Chen Feng put his things down and pushed the door open to go inside.

If Sun Ling really beats my mother up, I'll burn her house down tonight, you motherfucker.

When Chen Feng entered the room and didn't see Liu Ping, his heart skipped a beat.

He hurried to Liu Ping's room and saw her lying on the bed as soon as he pushed the door open.
