“Let us explore the new era and create a new life together!”
Lu Qing looked at Shen Qiqi's high spirits and smiled with relief.
He quietly reached out his hand and took Shen Qiqi's hand without anyone noticing.
Shen Qiqi felt the warmth of his palm, her cheeks flushed slightly, and her heartbeat couldn't help but speed up a bit.
"Ahem, well, let's go!" Lu Qing pretended to be calm and coughed twice to cover up his little movement.
Shen Qiqi glared at him secretly, but did not break free from his hand. Instead, she held it back even harder.
Love quietly grew between the two of them and spread in the air.
At this time, there was another noisy sound coming from the distance, as if someone was arguing.
Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing looked at each other, a hint of doubt rising in their hearts.
"It seems... they're from Wangjia Village?" a villager said, pointing to the distance. "What are they doing here?"
"Are they here to cause trouble?" another villager said worriedly.
"Go and take a look and you'll know." Shen Qiqi said in a deep voice. She took Lu Qing's hand, quickened her pace, and walked towards the direction where the sound came from.
"Qiqi, be careful." Lu Qing held Shen Qiqi's hand tightly, his eyes full of concern.
"Don't worry, I'm fine." Shen Qiqi gave him a reassuring smile, "When the enemy comes, we will fight them; when the water comes, we will block it with earth!"
The two men arrived at the entrance of the village and saw a group of people gathered there, making a lot of noise.
Shen Qiqi immediately spotted the head of Wangjia Village in the crowd, a short, fat man with a face full of flesh.
He was pointing at a villager's nose and cursing loudly, with spit flying everywhere.
"People from your village stole our chickens!" the village chief of Wangjia Village shouted, "If you don't return the chickens today, I will..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Shen Qiqi.
"Village Chief Wang, you need evidence for what you say." Shen Qiqi said coldly, "You said that people from our village stole your chickens. What evidence do you have?"
The head of Wangjia Village was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Shen Qiqi to appear suddenly.
He looked Shen Qiqi up and down.
"Hey, isn't this the third daughter-in-law of the Lu family?" He said sarcastically, "She's quite pretty! How about..."
"Have some respect!" Lu Qing protected Shen Qiqi behind him and glared at the head of Wangjia Village. "If you dare to talk nonsense again, don't blame me for being rude!"
The head of Wangjia Village was shocked by Lu Qing's aura and was speechless for a moment.
"You..." He pointed at Lu Qing and kept saying "you" for a long time without being able to make any clear explanation.
At this moment, a villager suddenly ran over and said breathlessly: "Sister Qiqi, it's bad!..."
"Sister Qiqi, it's bad! Those guys from Wangjia Village are actually digging a hole at the entrance of our village, saying they want... want..." The villager was out of breath, his face flushed red, and he could hardly speak clearly.
"What do you want? Tell me quickly!" an impatient villager urged.
"They said they were going to dig a hole and bury our village. They said we were ungrateful and insisted on doing something new. They were going to make us pay for it!" The villager finally finished speaking, with a hint of fear in his tone.
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar and the villagers were immediately furious.
"These bastards! How dare they be so arrogant!"
"This is too much! Do you really think our Lujia Village is easy to bully?"
"Qiqi, let's fight them!"
The villagers were filled with righteous indignation and were ready to rush up and fight with the people from Wangjia Village.
Shen Qiqi took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
She knew that she couldn't act impulsively at this time. She had to figure out the other party's intentions first before she could find a solution to the problem.
"Everyone, calm down!" Shen Qiqi said loudly. Her voice was clear and powerful, carrying an unquestionable majesty. "Listen to me, don't act rashly!"
The villagers looked at Shen Qiqi with trust in their eyes and fell silent.
Shen Qiqi walked to the front of the team, her eyes swept across everyone's face, and finally fell on the head of Wangjia Village. Her eyes were as sharp as a knife, as if they could penetrate people's hearts.
"Village Chief Wang, what do you mean by this? You came to the gate of our village to dig a hole, are you trying to stir up trouble?" Shen Qiqi's tone was cold, with a hint of oppression.
The head of Wangjia Village was startled by Shen Qiqi's eyes, but he quickly recovered. He sneered and said with disdain: "Humph! Provoking trouble? We are here to dig up your graves in Lujia Village! Aren't you just trying to come up with some new tricks? I tell you, no way! Today I will let you know the consequences of going against our Wangjia Village!"
"Oh, what a big tone!" Shen Qiqi sneered. She knew that the village chief of Wangjia Village was deliberately provoking them. "Village Chief Wang, with your acting skills, it's really a waste of talent if you don't become a movie star! Just relying on these few threats, you think you can scare us? You must be living in a dream, right?"
"You...you..." The head of Wangjia Village was choked by Shen Qiqi and was speechless. He was so angry that his face turned purple, and the fingers pointing at Shen Qiqi began to tremble.
Just when the two sides were on the verge of a fight and the atmosphere was extremely tense, Shen Qiqi suddenly laughed. She laughed calmly, as if the tense atmosphere just now did not exist at all.
"Village Chief Wang, since you want to play so much, then I'll play with you!" Shen Qiqi said provocatively, with a devilish smile on her lips, "But I'm afraid you can't afford it!"
"Hmph! I want to see who can't afford to play!" The village chief of Wangjia Village roared, waved his hand, and signaled his men to start digging a hole.
At this time, Lu Qing walked to Shen Qiqi and whispered, "Qiqi, why don't you go back first and make a long-term plan?"
