"We don't understand what you're saying. Don't block our way, or you'll regret it." Boss Qiao clenched his fist, which was as big as a sandbag, and waved it in front of Shen.
The wave of her hand made a slight gust of wind, startling Madam Shen, who took a step back.
Old Mrs. Song stared at Boss Qiao with her cloudy, triangular eyes: "No matter how strong your fists are, you can't stop others from finding mushrooms on these mountains."
"Isn't this the kind of thing you're looking for? So only you can find it, and no one else can? So only you can find it, and no one else can?"
Song Dahua, the eldest daughter of the second branch of the Song family, put down her basket, took out a mushroom from it, and held it up in front of the eldest branch of the Qiao family.
Upon seeing this, the Song family's eldest branch's expression changed slightly. They had been discovered after all. If it were someone else, it wouldn't be so bad. That's right, these mushrooms on the mountain weren't only for the Qiao family to find, but it was the Song family who discovered them first, which made them very unhappy.
Qiao Xier: "Why don't you go find your own way? Why come to us and say this? Are you trying to impress us? There are many paths in the world, everyone should go their own way."
"I just want to tell you, don't be secretly smug. If you can make this money, we can too." Song Erhua's face was also full of provocation.
"Oh, whatever. We don't care whether you make money or not."
As Qiao Xi'er spoke, the people from the main branch of the family went in another direction.
Out of sight, out of mind.
Moreover, they had explored most of the mountain and knew which areas they had already searched and were unlikely to find it.
Feng's whip was wrapped around her waist. She touched the handle of the whip and glanced back warily.
The Song family initially only wanted to gain some verbal advantage, but after searching for a while, they couldn't find a single termite mushroom.
“The Qiao family has already searched them all, so where are we supposed to look? We’ll just follow them,” said Song Lao Er.
“Yes, only the Qiao family knows which places they’ve searched and which places they haven’t found. If we follow them, they might be laughing at us for being foolish right now.” Chen said through gritted teeth.
The Song family quickly followed, and sure enough, they saw that not far ahead, the eldest branch of the Qiao family were squatting on the ground, carefully digging out the mushrooms one by one from the ground, not even leaving the roots behind.
This nest must weigh at least two pounds, and they immediately became envious.
They quickened their pace and ran over one by one.
"We also saw this cluster of mushrooms."
"Everyone who sees it gets a share; the mountain isn't privately owned."
The Song family originally consisted of nine members: Old Madam Song, four from the first wife, and four from the second wife. Now, the second wife has adopted Song Ruier, making a total of ten.
A large crowd gathered around the three of them.
The eldest branch of the Qiao family only has three people, but they are not without merit.
Feng untied the whip from her waist and swung it in the air, making a whistling sound. Qiao Laoda pulled out the woodcutter's knife from his buttocks.
Qiao Xier also picked up the wooden stick from the ground.
The three of them protected the nest of termite mushrooms like they were their own offspring.
"Has no one taught you? Things on the mountain belong to whoever sees them, otherwise things would be in complete chaos," said Boss Qiao.
If the first person discovers it, then the second and the third will follow. If we're really going to fight over it like this, then the first person shouldn't even bother to say anything. That way, no one else of the same type can expect to find it.
"Anyway, the Song family has seen it too. There are many of us in the Song family, and we have even more eyes to see it. You should at least take 80% of it," Old Mrs. Song said shamelessly.
As they spoke, the Song family members drew closer and closer to the main branch of the Qiao family.
The Qiao family often went hunting in the mountains and were not afraid of wild animals, let alone people. However, the disparity in numbers was too great, and the three members of the eldest branch were very worried. They were afraid that this nest of chicken mushrooms would not be able to be saved.
But it's impossible for them to give in.
