The fruit vendor was still a bit wary of Ye Ya. After all, this formidable woman had a fiery temper, so it was best not to offend her.
The older sister-in-law forced a smile and said to Yeya, "Little sister, whatever fruit you want to eat in the future, just come to my shop to get it."
Ye Ya pouted and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm really afraid of you. You threaten to hang yourself or jump into the river at the drop of a hat. If you die, your paralyzed husband and three children will be left for me to raise. Humph! I'm not going to risk that."
The woman forced a smile and said ingratiatingly, "Sister, please take good care of my fruit shop in the future. Some people come to buy fruit and just argue with me, bullying me, a widow and orphan."
Wild Girl is easily swayed by kindness but not by force. Seeing the pitiful look on the fruit shop owner's face, her heart softened immediately. She patted her chest and said, "Auntie, if anyone dares to bully you in the future, just tell them that Wild Girl from Dragon King Mountain will protect you."
The woman nodded repeatedly and said happily, "Thank you, sister."
The woman who owned the fruit shop had some schooling, and soon she put up a sign at the shop entrance that read: "This shop is protected by the Wild Girl Heroine of Dragon King Mountain."
The older sister-in-law even highlighted these words in red so that customers could see them at a glance.
Yeya returned to the restaurant, clicked her tongue, and said, "Sister Meng, the woman at the fruit shop next door is really weird. She keeps threatening to die. It's terrifying."
"Girl, she had no choice. You went and caused her trouble, and she didn't dare to offend you. She felt wronged, so she had to resort to this trick."
Wild Girl sighed and said, "They really each have their own tricks. You know what, this one is really powerful."
Wild Girl wandered around the front and back of the Baixing Restaurant and discovered another problem.
"Sister Meng, why did that family at the west end build their outbuilding on our wall? Our wall has become part of their outbuilding. Isn't that bullying?"
"Ya, we can't afford to offend the family next door. They have three sons, all of them tall and strong, and the man of the house is a formidable character. Let's just give in and see what's best."
Ye Ya said with dissatisfaction, "Sister Meng, in the past, you were all alone and weak, and it was inevitable that you would be bullied. But now it's different. With me as your sister to back you up, no one can bully you."
"Girl, we're neighbors. Just turn a blind eye to things and it'll pass. Don't take it too seriously."
Wild girl doesn't fall for that.
After finishing breakfast, Yeya went to her neighbor's house.
She knocked hard on the door, and a dark-skinned middle-aged man ran to open it. He was somewhat surprised and asked timidly, "What...what do you want?"
Ye Ya asked, "Your outbuilding is built on my sister's wall, that doesn't make sense, does it?"
The dark-faced man witnessed Wild Girl beating up six men yesterday, and he knows she's the younger sister of the young widow.
"This...this..."
“I said, if you think this doesn’t make sense, then hurry up and tear down the outbuilding.”
Although the dark-faced man has three sons, yesterday the wild girl beat six men to a pulp.
His three sons would probably be no match for Ye Ya.
The dark-faced man rolled his eyes and argued, "When I was building the house, I talked to your sister first, and she agreed before I built it."
Wild Girl sneered and said, "Alright, stop lying in broad daylight. I'm giving you three days to demolish the outbuilding, or don't blame me for doing it myself."
The dark-faced man took a step back and asked timidly, "Did your sister send you?"
"Does my sister even need to speak up for this? No matter who it is, if they bully my sister, I will stand up for her."
The dark-faced man said timidly, "Okay, I'll dismantle it right away."
Ye Ya reiterated: "You have three days to demolish the house."
After saying that, he turned around and went back to the Baixing Restaurant.
The dark-faced man sighed and said to his wife, "I told you before not to bully that young widow, but you insisted on taking advantage of her. Now look what happened, you've lost more than you gained. If we tear down the outbuilding and rebuild it, it'll cost several hundred yuan more."
The dark-faced man's wife sighed and said, "Nobody has eyes in the back of their head. Who knew that the young widow had a sworn sister who was skilled in martial arts? Our family is just unlucky."
The dark-faced man's wife thought for a moment and said, "Honey, wait a minute, I'll go buy a few pounds of pastries, visit the young widow, say a few nice words to her, and maybe everything will be fine."
The dark-faced man exclaimed, "Wife, you're so smart! Buying a few pounds of pastries only costs ten or so yuan, which is much more cost-effective than spending hundreds of yuan to rebuild the outbuilding."
The dark-faced man's wife immediately went out, went to a store to buy five catties of pastries, and went to the Baixing Restaurant.
The young widow was busy in the kitchen.
At this time, Ye Ya had nothing to do, so she went to the yam sales station to help Chen Yuyan weigh and record the yams.
The dark-faced man's wife forced a smile and said affectionately, "Little sister, are you still busy?"
The young widow turned her head and saw that it was her neighbor from next door. She quickly said, "Sister-in-law, please have a seat."
The dark-faced man's wife placed several pounds of pastries on the table and said cautiously, "Sister, back then, when my family was building a side room, we didn't have any money, so we used your fence as a wall. It wasn't right of us to do that, and today I've come here specifically to apologize to you."
The young widow knew immediately that the wild girl must have gone to settle scores with the neighbor next door.
“Sister-in-law, so many years have passed. Since it’s already been built, let’s just let it go. I didn’t hold it against you.”
“Sister, you may not care, but your sworn sister does. Just now, she came to my house and gave us three days to tear down the outbuilding.”
The young widow thought to herself: It's better to be a bit ruthless.
Back then, the family next door, relying on having three sons, treated their own fence as part of their own fence without even saying hello.
At that time, the young widow could only swallow her anger.
“Sister-in-law, so many years have passed. Now that the house has been built, it would be such a waste to tear it down.”
“Sister, I’ve come here today to discuss this matter with you. You know, I need to tear down the outbuilding and rebuild it, which will cost several hundred yuan more. I recently got married to my eldest son, and that has exhausted all the family’s money. I’m very short on cash right now.”
"Sister-in-law, then let's not demolish the side room."
“Sister, your sworn sister is very powerful. We are a little afraid of her. Why don’t you talk to her and persuade her to stop causing us trouble?”
"Okay, I'll talk to the girl about it."
The dark-faced man's wife said happily, "Sister, I've been your neighbor for so many years, and I know very well that you are a good person. We were blind back then and bullied you. We are really sorry."
The young widow thought to herself: You bullied me back then, and today, if I hadn't become sworn sisters with Ye Ya, you would still be bullying me.
The saying "a leopard can't change its spots" perfectly illustrates this point.
