She had finally vented her anger, and her words were no longer so aggressive, a sly glint in her eyes.
"Have you all heard what I said clearly?"
Even if I were truly all alone, since you all can call me by name and find my way to the village, you must have heard of my fearsome reputation, right?
Aren't you all afraid that if you get into a fight, your own children will suffer again?
Moreover, I can now work, cook, do laundry, and go up the mountain, so I'm not a burden to the collective.
However, if you start a family at this time, most of your energy will inevitably be devoted to your family.
She regularly visited her parents-in-law, showed filial piety, and bore children.
I admire all the aunties for their hard work; they work just like everyone else and still manage to keep their homes so well-organized.
I don't believe I have that ability, and, most importantly,"
Seeing that someone was about to speak, she quickly raised her voice.
"The most important point is that this completely goes against my original intention of going to the countryside. I just wanted to respond to the leaders' call and do a good job in building the countryside."
So, ladies, please stop focusing your attention on me. When it comes time for me to get married, the elders will arrange it for me, so you don't need to worry about me.
However, if someone really tries to scheme against me, I'm not afraid, as long as they can withstand my fists that can kill a wild boar. But, I can't guarantee whether they'll end up missing an arm or a leg.
Furthermore, legitimate self-defense does not incur legal liability.
In the end, she also lost some enthusiasm. Enthusiasm is one thing, but it depends on the situation. If something goes too far, it can be quite annoying.
Also, don't think she didn't see those disgusting stares from the crowd just now; she clearly already had her eye on them.
She wasn't afraid, but it was definitely annoying.
Anyway, she had said what she wanted to say. Seeing that the villagers from other villages had taken a few more steps back, she didn't want to say anything more. She picked up Huizhou, turned around, and went into the courtyard.
As soon as the door closed, chaos erupted outside.
"No, who would scheme against Xiao Jian? Are they an idiot?"
"Hehe, I guess so. They probably heard about Xiao Jian's reputation from somewhere and came to snatch her away."
"Oh my god!" someone exclaimed in immediate frustration.
"Did we praise Xiao Jian and someone else overheard us? Didn't we do something wrong?"
"Maybe, but it's unacceptable. How could so many people come together? Judging from what Xiao Jian said, she had come before and said she didn't want to come, but she still came. Isn't this just taking advantage of the fact that Xiao Jian is an educated youth who has no one to rely on?"
"Will that work? Xiao Jian is from our village. Bullying Xiao Jian is just taking advantage of the fact that our village has no one else."
"Exactly, and what about Lao Han and his group? Why are they letting just anyone in?"
The matchmakers had been sneaking away, trying to avoid attracting the villagers' attention, but they were surprised when the villagers reacted so quickly and they were soon cornered.
Mingzhu looked at her with concern.
Are you alright?
She was watching the child in the yard when she overheard the villagers talking, and rushed over with the child in her arms. After listening for a while, she roughly understood what was going on.
"Have they been here before?"
He let out a simple wail, utterly despondent, and simply sat down.
"Yes, they blocked the door once, but I didn't want to make a big fuss, so I politely persuaded them to leave. Who knew they would come back so soon?"
"Looking at you, you don't seem to be from the village. Just how far has your reputation spread?"
It's simpler, but it's more frustrating.
"How would I know? I don't like to publicize things."
She herself was puzzled. When she was out and about, nobody knew her. Who would come looking for her?
"you,"
Mingzhu opened her mouth,
"You may not be flamboyant, but have you ever thought about all the things you've done? Which one of them wasn't flamboyant?"
Just because you don't say anything doesn't mean others won't. The convoy has only been traveling for a few days.
There was still hope for this wild boar a few days ago, when it was in the limelight.
Now that they can go out, the villagers are eager to show off to everyone they meet. The news spreads like wildfire; not to mention anything else, the connections of this convoy and the wild boar alone are enough to attract attention.
"ah!"
Simple screamed in frustration again. The child on the ground turned his head and stared at her blankly, blinking his eyes and opening his mouth, wondering what was wrong with his aunt.
Mingzhu rolled her eyes at her.
"Alright, that's enough. Look how scared you've made the child."
So what are your thoughts?
Your outburst just now probably intimidated some people, but…
She grinned.
"Your reputation, your infamous reputation, isn't that entirely self-inflicted?"
"He wasn't fierce before, but now he is."
He simply sat up, scratched his head,
"Be fierce if you want, as long as no one bothers me."
"You, you,"
Mingzhu's helplessness
"Yes, self-deprecation is also a trick."
But how many years can you fool people with that?
"If you still haven't made any moves in two years, Uncle Jin and Brother Chao will be worried, won't they?"
It's simple, it has a "what's the use" or "what's the point" feel to it.
"We'll see when the time comes. Two years of peace and quiet is good enough."
"Zhouzhou, come here and let your auntie give you a hug."
Xiao Huizhou tilted her head and looked at her for a few seconds. After confirming that her aunt had returned to normal, she ran over and nestled in Jian Dan's arms to eat snacks.
"So what are your plans? Are you just going to keep using this as an excuse? It has to be resolved eventually."
When I came out, there was someone following me!
As she spoke, she glanced at the door twice. Knowing Ling Weidong as she did, she figured he must be feeling unwell right now, and might even be outside.
