As Li Qiaoer stepped into the door, she almost bumped into Jiang Tietou who was walking out in a hurry.
"Wow!" Jiang Tietou took several steps back in fright. When he saw clearly that the person in front of him was Li Qiaoer, his ears turned a little red.
"Sister Qiao'er, I'm sorry. I wasn't watching where I was walking and didn't see you... Did I bump into you just now?"
Li Qiaoer shook her head, "No."
As he said that, he walked towards the spice house.
"Hey - I heard that people from Dafeng Village went to your house?" Jiang Tietou was a little anxious. "My mother said that the man named Zhou Qiang is very old and has a daughter who is only a few years younger than you. You can't agree to it..."
"I'm not the one you're looking at." Li Qiao'er said, "Brother Tietou, if you don't have anything to do, I'll go in and get busy first."
Jiang Tietou quickly said "eh", turned sideways, and watched Li Qiaoer's back disappear in the house.
Uncle Niu, who was passing by, saw his silly look and kicked him in the butt. "Why are you so silly? Have you got everything?"
"It's all done, it's all done!" Jiang Tietou followed Uncle Niu out of the tofu shop and walked towards the back mountain.
When Jiang Zhengmao hurried back after handing over the wasteland matter to his second grandfather, the tofu shop was still as busy and harmonious as before.
"Is the village chief back?" Zheng Wang asked with a smile.
"Mother-in-law, I heard that we had a quarrel with the people from Dafeng Village?"
In a few words, Madam Zheng Wang explained the whole process clearly. "That old woman had bad intentions, but she was persuaded to leave by Zhou Lizheng. It's all because of that damned Wang Dacai. No matter how hard I tried to guard against him, he still couldn't stop me. I really want to chop him up with a knife!"
When Jiang Zhengmao saw Zheng Wangshi's attitude, his anger subsided immediately. He tried to persuade her calmly, then found Li Qiaoer's father and talked to him for a few words before going back to work on the wasteland.
It was not until Jiang Huaixu and his group returned home for dinner in the evening that they heard about what had happened during the day.
"You are greedy for our business, but you look down on us. Bah! How shameless!" Du Mei spat fiercely.
When Jiang Huaixu heard this, he and his aunt began to look at him more favorably.
"Why do we have to ask them to look up to us? We're not going to eat or drink. There are good people in Dafeng Village, like Zhou Lizheng, who is very reasonable, but there are also many people with evil intentions." Qian Xiuzhu said, "This incident is not a bad thing. At least those who have intentions towards our girls will not dare to come to our house easily in the future."
After having a meal, Du Mei left Jiang Huaixu's house.
Jiang Huaixu took Futuan and walked towards the tofu shop. As soon as she walked into the alley of the tofu shop, she saw a person sitting on the wall.
After taking a closer look, she called out in surprise, "Second brother?"
"It's me." Jiang Erlang said and jumped down from the top of the wall quickly.
"No wonder I didn't see you at home..." Jiang Huaixu paused and asked curiously, "Why are you sitting on the wall?"
"Mrs. Zheng said that some children threw stones at our tofu shop, so I fought back with stones." He spread out his hands, with a few small, angular stones in his palms.
Jiang Huaixu couldn't help but laugh out loud, "This is too small..."
Halfway through her words, she suddenly heard the whispering of children. The two looked at each other, and soon, three figures appeared on the wall.
The two of them had good eyesight and could tell that the group of children gathered together were all strangers.
Jiang Erlang was seen throwing stones at the group of children one after another with great force and accuracy, making the children scream for their parents and run away quickly.
Jiang Erlang said as he moved: "They would come back again after a while, so I increased my strength."
He struck with restraint, only hitting the chest, abdomen, back and limbs.
Jiang Huaixu also became interested. "Second brother, you go over there and block their way. I'll stop them from passing here. Fu Tuan, you go to the back of the house and block their way."
She gestured with her hands, indicating that Futuan should go to the back of the house.
Futuan walked gracefully on the wall with his tail erect, his steps as if he were walking on flat ground.
After the two men and the cat worked together to block the remaining children together, Jiang Huaixu and Jiang Erlang approached them.
"Why are you throwing stones at our tofu shop?" Jiang Huaixu asked coldly.
One child couldn't bear the pain and cried loudly, "Wow, wow, wow—it was Sister Xiaoni who asked us to come here! She said she would buy us some candied haws!"
"She only let you guys come? Where are her own people?"
"He just ran away." A child said dejectedly.
Jiang Huaixu was speechless and said to Jiang Erlang, "Second brother, you are not ruthless enough. You can't stop the temptation of candied haws to them."
"Call her back and I'll give you some dragon beard candy." Jiang Huaixu also used the method of temptation.
A child choked up and asked, "Really?"
"Sister Xiaoni said that everything they said was a lie, so we shouldn't believe it."
"I keep my word. As long as you call her over, everyone will have a share."
Some children were eager to do something and ran away quickly.
The remaining children immediately stopped caring whether Jiang Huaixu was lying or not, and ran away as fast as they could, fearing that they would fall behind.
"These are all my leftovers!" Jiang Huaixu folded his hands and looked at their backs.
Jiang Erlang looked at her with a smile, "Shall we hide first?"
The two hid behind the wall. After a while, the group of children came back. The leader had two buns on her head and looked older than Jiang Huaixu. After she stopped, a child called her "Sister Xiaoni".
"I'll be on the left and you'll be on the right." Jiang Erlang said softly.
Both of them hit the little girl's knee at the same time.
The little girl's legs went weak and she fell to her knees on the ground.
Before she could struggle to stand up, a voice came from above her head.
"You are Zhou Qiang's daughter? Why? Are you here to avenge your grandmother?" Jiang Huaixu's voice was filled with laughter.
Zhou Xiaoni raised her head and glared at Jiang Huaixu fiercely, "Who told you to look down on my dad?! My grandma said that you outsiders are not only dirty, but you have also eaten human flesh! No matter if you are male or female, you are all very dirty..."
Before she could finish her words, her mouth felt numb, followed by a sharp pain. She reached out and touched it, and warm blood flowed all over her hand.
Then she heard a young man's cold voice, "Clean your mouth."
