Zhao Qinglin smiled, and both Madam Huang and the constable looked over at the same time. The little girl was being looked at by two pairs of eyes at the same time, and she became slightly shy.
"Why are you staring at him like that? He's already funny enough."
Huang nodded, then laughed too. Finally, the three of them laughed together.
No outsiders had come to this area for quite some time, and the laughter of the three was soon heard by the Feng family members not far away.
The rogue from the Feng family, named Jinshan, rubbed his eyes and came out, intending to see which fearless ghost dared to disturb his, Master Feng's, sleep.
She twisted her waist and pulled her hips, reaching inside her clothes to scratch herself as she walked out.
Upon reaching the gate, they saw three people by the vegetable garden, one of whom was dressed as a yamen runner.
Feng Jinshan, who doesn't usually like to use his brain much, was thinking very fast at this moment.
His purpose in acting so arrogantly towards his neighbors all along has been to drive them away without spending any money. Those who came with the yamen runners are definitely here to buy houses and land.
If the government gets involved, all the hard work I've put in over the years will have been for nothing.
Seeing that the people over there were looking in his direction,
Feng Jinshan was backlit, so he couldn't see the people's faces clearly, but he could still tell their genders.
Before those people came over, he slipped on his shoes, hurried back into the house, grabbed a large machete, and came out again.
He stood in front of his own gate and began shouting at the three Huangs.
"Hey, I'm talking to you guys. This place is under my control, Mr. Feng. If you want to buy this land, I advise you to give up the idea as soon as possible."
"As long as Grandpa doesn't want you to, none of you will have a peaceful life here."
Hehe, Huang, who was observing her surroundings, chuckled. Zhao Qinglin laughed even harder, her body shaking with laughter.
The last person who dared to call his grandmother "grandfather" is probably buried on his grave by now.
Huang had always wanted to see just how troublesome this bully who could drive away the villagers really was. Before he could even find the time, this guy had already delivered himself to his door. That was great.
Huang gestured to Zhao Qinglin, and the grandmother and granddaughter walked towards Feng Jinshan.
The constables wanted to stop him, after all, that madman was said to chop people indiscriminately, regardless of gender or right or wrong.
The Huang family was clearly determined to acquire this land, since there was no more suitable place in the prefectural city.
As for going to the countryside to visit orphanages, forget it. What if we can't find a single legitimate orphan, and then those local orphans try to take advantage and kick our children out again?
Then the children come to your door pitifully, begging, do you accept them or not?
Taking it would be a huge waste of money.
If you don't accept it, people will say you're just trying to gain fame or that you're fakely kind. Basically, people who can morally blackmail others are themselves not very moral.
Who knows how many more vicious and outrageous things they might say?
Therefore, the less trouble the better. In the prefectural city, orphans can find orphanages more easily.
It's also more convenient to take care of children at the orphanage, since raising children involves so many troublesome things.
Children are prone to illness, especially adopted children, most of whom are malnourished and have various health problems.
Being able to quickly locate a pharmacy is of paramount importance.
Although Huang wanted to see how formidable "Master Feng" was, she didn't necessarily have to resort to violence. After all, it's better to offend a gentleman than a petty person.
Seeing that the Huang family grandfather and grandson were heading towards Feng Jinshan's direction, the constables were afraid that something might happen to them.
After all, the squad leader had said that this old lady's family had received an imperial edict.
He quickly followed behind, keeping his hand on the knife handle the whole time.
"Young man, your wife's surname is Huang and your husband's surname is Zhao. They have their eyes on this land and want to buy it to build an orphanage."
It mainly takes in the little beggars and orphans from our city.
Make sure they have food to eat and clothes to wear. You must be the owner of this house; I'm planning to buy a house nearby.
If you're willing, I'm also prepared to include it in my purchase.
Hey buddy, what's your name?
Look, we've been walking for ages and we're thirsty. Young man, do you have any water at home? It would be nice to give your wife a bowl of cool water.
"Aren't you going to invite this old woman in for a seat?"
Feng Jinshan was completely dumbfounded by what Huang said.
"What's going on? Usually, when I come out with a knife, no one dares to come near me. Has this old woman gone mad?"
After pondering this, Feng Jinshan once again revealed his villainous nature and raised the large cleaver in his hand.
"Old lady, are you blind? I'm holding a knife, and you dare to come closer? Aren't you afraid I'll chop you up in one fell swoop?"
Huang chuckled, casually pinched one corner of the knife, and with a slight effort, moved it aside, then walked around Feng Jinshan and entered the Feng family's courtyard.
"Young man, don't get so angry."
You keep calling me "Grandpa" and "Old Man" all the time, making this old woman unsure of what to call you anymore.
Come on, young man, sit down. Let's have a good chat.
I have the intention to do good deeds, and you don't seem like a particularly wicked person.
Let's talk about buying and selling.
Huang casually pulled up a wooden stump in the yard and sat down. She then pointed to another wooden stump and told Feng Jinshan to sit on it.
Feng Jinshan obediently walked over and sat down.
The constables were dumbfounded. When did this scoundrel become so easy to talk to?
If Feng Jinshan could hear his thoughts at this moment, he would definitely say,
"I'm not being obedient at all. I can't even pull the knife off my hands. I don't know where this old woman got all that strength."
Feng Jinshan knew he had really messed up today.
Not to mention the constables following him, if he dared to use force, he would definitely not get away with it. This smiling old woman in front of him was really strange.
Even with just two fingers pinching one corner of the knife, I couldn't pull it off by myself.
If a fight broke out, he probably wouldn't even last one slap before he'd be dead.
Feng Jinshan, who was lost in his own thoughts, actually guessed correctly. Luckily, he didn't dare to act rashly.
After sitting down obediently,
"Grandma, look, we've entered the yard. Can you let go of my hand so I can put the knife down?"
Huang looked at Feng Jinshan with a smile.
"Young man, let go first."
I'm afraid if I loosen my grip, what if I say something that upsets you, and you stab me again?
The old woman has twenty or thirty people in her household, and seven or eight hundred, nearly a thousand, children in the orphanage who are waiting for her to earn money to support them.
If the old woman gets hurt, it's not just one person who gets hurt.
That means getting injured along with hundreds, nearly a thousand innocent children. I'm sure you wouldn't want to do something like that, young man, right?
The phrase "seven or eight yuan is close to a thousand, seven or eight hundred is close to a thousand..." kept playing on a loop in Feng Jinshan's mind.
