"You restless thing," Old Mrs. Qiao scolded.
The Qiao family harvested from the riverbank upstream, so the Shen family had to leave the land they lost to them for later.
It was also because the Shen family's progress was a few days slower when they first started planting rice; the rice would mature a bit more later.
Old Mrs. Qiao and Old Mr. Qiao immediately returned to the yard, then came down with their tools: machetes, sticks, ropes, pitchforks, and everything else they could find.
"They're asking for trouble, a leopard can't change its spots. I'll beat them until they're rolling on the ground in pain."
"They think they can bully the women in the family? Let's show them the fighting power of the Qiao family women."
The Shen family had already resigned themselves to their fate, but seeing that the men of the Qiao family had all set off, they couldn't help but feel restless.
They couldn't beat the men of the Qiao family, but they could surely beat the women, so they became unruly.
"Yes, old woman, rolling around isn't enough, she'll look for her teeth, and she'll even wet her pants and run away in a panic." Old Qiao was also full of fighting spirit, and even a little unconvinced.
Who said there are no men in the house? Isn't he a man? Is the Shen family treating him like he doesn't exist?
At first, Qiao Yunni and the others were wary of the Shen family, glancing up every now and then. The Shen family was doing their own work and didn't do anything unusual.
Little did they expect that, with their guard down, the Shen family would sneak in.
When the Shen family members started swiftly cutting the rice with their sickles, they suddenly realized something.
"What are you doing? What is the Shen family doing? That's the Qiao family's land. Get out!"
The women of the Qiao family all rushed forward.
Grandma Qiao and the others also rushed down.
They attacked from both sides, one in front and one behind.
Qiao Lian'er and Qiao Zhizhi put down the bucket and threw weapons to everyone.
Everyone caught the machetes, forks, and sticks steadily.
Everyone brandished their weapons, exuding a murderous aura that even seemed to stir the air.
They were like ferocious wild beasts, coming down from the mountain to tear people apart.
The woman from the Shen family was so frightened that she ran away immediately. The man tried to resist, but was whipped several times and hit on the leg with a stick. He screamed and jumped away, hurriedly begging for mercy and saying that he would never do it again.
They didn't want to end up like the Song family, lying in bed for seven, eight, or even ten days without being able to get up.
The Qiao family then gave up.
"You ruined my Shenliang, and you still want this rice? You're too greedy!" Liu said angrily, hands on her hips.
Grandma Qiao: "Who harmed your Shenliang? Didn't he bring this upon himself? Besides, Shenliang didn't die, did he? He's still alive; it's already a blessing from heaven. He should be grateful."
"I advise you to accumulate good deeds and blessings, and to look for the reasons within yourselves, so as not to make the same mistake again and again, and to avoid suffering even greater misfortune one day."
The two sides exchanged insults for a while, their words fierce and their saliva flying in the sunlight. When they saw that the Qiao family was about to come up with weapons again, the Shen family got scared, shut their mouths, and obediently went about their work in the fields.
The Qiao family won a great victory.
"Let's harvest these three acres first, it's best to have the money in hand," said Grandma Qiao.
Everyone agreed.
Qiao Lian'er took out pineapples from the bucket and gave each person a large piece.
"What is this?" Qiao Yunni asked.
"Mom, this is called pineapple, it's sweet and thirst-quenching."
