The Qiao family was leaving Datian Village, and they distributed gifts to every household, including the Shen family.
The Shen family never caused any more trouble and frequently purchased goods from the Qiao family, which established a cooperative relationship. As long as they behaved themselves, the Qiao family would still give them face.
The Mu family was the only exception; the Qiao family gave them nothing and simply ignored them.
Because of Mu Xinghe's affair, the Mu family was already at odds with the Qiao family. Not receiving a gift from the Qiao family made them feel that the Qiao family was deliberately humiliating them.
Now that the men of the Qiao family have all left, the Mu family can't help but get restless again.
The Qiao family is about to go to the capital. If they don't take this opportunity to get revenge and gain some benefits, the Mu family feels that they will regret it for the rest of their lives, and they will be unable to sleep or eat.
The four brothers, along with their sons, came to the Qiao family in a grand procession.
Qiao Yue, with her short legs, ran into Qiao Lian'er's room and tugged at her clothes: "Auntie, there are people, lots of people."
The little girl was just over two years old, but her face showed a hint of tension, clearly indicating that she had sensed danger.
When Qiao Lian'er stepped outside, she saw that the Mu family had already arrived downstairs, only a few houses away from the Qiao family's home.
She returned to the yard as if nothing had happened and released a flock of large, white geese.
Then he patted Qiao Yue's head and said, "Don't be afraid. If bad guys come, we'll just chase them away."
Qiao Yue stared intently at the geese, each one taller than her, wings outstretched, poised to take flight, making her appear small, pitiful, and helpless.
Qiao Lian'er moved a chair over and sat down at the front door. Her expression was calm, but she exuded a subtle sense of intimidation.
Now she dresses like an adult, exuding a mature aura, and her presence is much stronger than before.
The shepherds, who were about to rush into their home, stopped abruptly upon seeing this, their hearts inexplicably racing.
It seemed as if Qiao Lian'er could kill them with a flick of her finger.
However, they immediately realized that Qiao Lian'er was only fifteen years old and didn't know any martial arts. Her impressive demeanor was due to her status as a princess. They were there to collect debts, but they didn't care about her status. This was a remote rural area where the strong preyed on the weak, and whoever had the strongest fist got to decide.
Qiao Lian'er raised her eyelids: "Is there something you need?"
The herdsmen all carried tools in their hands: machetes, hoes, iron bars, axes, and so on.
"Of course there's something wrong. Why would we come knocking on our door if there wasn't?" Old Mu snorted.
"oh?"
The eldest son of the Mu family adopted the demeanor of an elder uncle and said coldly, "Ever since Mu Xinghe passed the imperial examination and became an official in the capital, he has never returned. As a descendant of the Mu family, he would not exist without the Mu family, yet he is so ungrateful. He has enjoyed the good life and forgotten all his family members. There is no reason for this."
"Or is it that your Qiao family prevented him from returning and pocketed all his monthly salary and bonuses, essentially giving them all to your Qiao family? If that's the case, your Qiao family should compensate our Mu family," said Qiao Lao Si.
Such shameless words made Qiao Lian'er laugh; a person's shamelessness knows no bounds.
