But she forgot how good her pets' diet was. They drank the essence of plants and even spiritual spring water that could prolong life. How could they possibly only give birth to one or two at a time?

After sighing for the nth time, Tang Xiaoxiao reached out and touched the fluffy head of the black panther crouching beside her, muttering, "Black Panther, you and Tiger Girl must be strong enough, don't give me too many babies, I can't afford to raise them all!"

Black Panther nudged her arm and let out a meaningless, coquettish sound.

The Tibetan Mastiff puppy named Tiger Girl is now over six months old, perfectly inheriting its mother's appearance, round and adorable.

Black Panther always doted on her, carrying her around the yard in his arms. But soon he couldn't carry her anymore; the little one was growing too fast, getting fat and strong, a real chubby girl.

On the bright side, at least this villa of theirs will become a forbidden zone that all scoundrels within a hundred miles will fear.

With such a large group of truly "sharp-tongued" creatures, who would dare to approach them?

Those two hotheads who dared to barge in last time, Liu Laizi from Liu Family Village and his brother-in-law, weren't they knocked out by Black Panther as soon as they entered?

Although almost everyone could guess that their intentions were not just to steal, they were caught red-handed by Tang Xiaoxiao as soon as they jumped into the yard. Before they could do anything, the two insisted that they just wanted to steal something. In the end, the police had no choice but to treat them as attempted theft, and the sentence would not be long.

Even though the two managed to escape punishment, and were lucky to have spent a year and a half in prison, their families still wouldn't let it go and made a scene for several days.

The police station naturally wouldn't let them cause trouble. They didn't think they could handle Tang Xiaoxiao's situation. Both of them came from ordinary families and were usually only bullies among their neighbors. They couldn't do anything about Tang Xiaoxiao.

Unable to take any substantial action, Liu Laizi's brothers began spreading rumors about Tang Xiaoxiao in the neighborhood, daring to throw all sorts of mud at her.

They say she's just a young girl, how could she have any real skills to earn so much money? Who knows how many men she's slept with behind the scenes.

The owners of those luxury cars that frequently pass by must all be having an affair with her.

The nearby villages were all related by marriage, and naturally, there were girls from Liujia Village who had married into Houtang Village. Before long, this news reached Tang Xiaoxiao's ears.

A few days later, on a dark and windy night, everyone in Liu Laizi's family who had spoken ill of Tang Xiaoxiao, regardless of gender, was put in a sack.

They were all beaten badly, with their faces being the main target, swollen up like pig heads.

But they didn't even know who did it. The whole family was covered in sacks and brutally beaten in the middle of the night, and when they woke up from their coma, there wasn't a soul in sight.

They weren't about to suffer in silence, so they went to call the police.

Although the police station didn't want to deal with these scoundrels, they were still citizens, and they had to handle the reports from citizens. They sent two police officers to the two men's homes to investigate, but found no clues.

There were no surveillance cameras in the village, and they were attacked at night, so there were absolutely no eyewitnesses on the road.

In the end, the matter was left unresolved.

They had suspected Tang Xiaoxiao; she was the one whose offense the two families had recently committed the most.

But without evidence, you need to catch a thief with stolen goods. The police wouldn't just come to arrest someone based on suspicion alone.
