Chapter 8 The Source of Trouble, I Seem You to Be the Source of Trouble
Looking into the child's clear, innocent eyes, Qian felt a pang of unease.
"This child is so well-behaved..." Grandma Zhang couldn't help but say.
When Xiao Su Bao heard others praising her, her face turned red, and she buried her face in Qian Shi's arms shyly.
Mrs. Qian was also pleased by her action and reached out to touch her fluffy hair.
Her hair was soft and fairly clean, though some areas were tangled.
The little baby was using a tattered strip of cloth to tie her hair; upon closer inspection, it turned out to be from her own clothes.
When we get back, I'll have to make two changes of clothes for the little girl...
Qian was thinking about these things.
Over there, Tang Cheng led the people of Tangjia Village into a confrontation with the people of Zhaojia Village.
The people of Zhao Village were somewhat uneasy when they saw so many people arriving with weapons and supplies.
Seeing that they couldn't gain any advantage, they immediately stopped fighting and continued to confront the people of Tangjia Village.
"Tang Cheng, don't be unreasonable. This irrigation canal originally belonged to us. It's only right that we don't let you use it!" the village chief of Zhao Family Village said coldly.
Tang Cheng is the village chief of Tangjia Village. Ten years ago, his father was also the village chief, but he died in an accident when Tang Cheng was only fourteen years old.
This irrigation ditch was built by my father and his family before he died. Back then, Tangjia Village and Zhaojia Village had a fairly good relationship.
However, the dispute over the irrigation canal has escalated the conflict between the two villages.
Tang Cheng's face was grim, his handsome features revealing a hint of anger.
"Is this why you wanted to kill my father and me?" Tang Cheng threw the machete on the ground and looked at Village Chief Zhao with a cold expression.
"How many people from our village went when the irrigation canal was being dug? And my father even gave you fifty taels of silver..." Tang Cheng immediately frowned and said!
"You just give it to us like that? There should be a receipt, right? You didn't get anything. Why are you using our irrigation canal? Even if you used manpower, so many years have passed. We've let you use it for so long, isn't that enough?"
Taking advantage of his age, Village Chief Zhao immediately began to lecture Tang Cheng.
Little Su Bao was engrossed in watching when suddenly a voice came from beside her.
“That’s my dad, isn’t he amazing? Are you the new aunt that Grandma stole for us?” Tang Dabao, who had just been beaten, came over and said to Su Bao.
Su Bao was stunned. Looking at his face covered in wounds, she suddenly felt as if she were seeing her own past self...
"Oh right, you don't recognize me, do you? My dad is the village chief of Tangjia Village, and I'll be the village chief of Tangjia Village too. My name is Tang Dabao. What's your name...?"
Tang Dabao scratched his head. This little sister was actually his aunt.
Madam Qian glared at Tang Dabao, annoyed: "This is your aunt, you should call her aunt. And what do you mean by 'stolen'? If you can't speak properly, then don't speak!"
Tang Dabao immediately became as limp as a quail, a sight that made Xiao Su Bao take a second look at him.
The little baby immediately and cautiously said in a soft, baby voice, "My name is Su Bao..."
"Aunt Su Bao is so beautiful, this is for you!" Tang Dabao suddenly took out his hand, which had been hidden behind his back.
Little Su Bao was startled and quickly withdrew her hand, not daring to go forward.
My older brothers and sisters used to play with me.
But every time she was full of anticipation, she was teased.
The Lan family's older siblings would give her insects, rats, or snakes, which the little girl had gotten used to.
Little Su Bao quickly hid in Qian Shi's neck, but couldn't help peeking over again.
Upon seeing this, her eyes lit up immediately.
That was such a beautiful flower wreath...
Little Su Bao's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but rub her eyes vigorously with her little hands.
She wasn't mistaken; it was a flower wreath!
Very pretty little wildflowers, clusters of them I don't know the names of, some bright red, some orange, and some blue.
There were also large peach blossoms on it, which the little girl recognized immediately.
"Is this...is this for Su Bao...?"
Little Su Bao nervously clung to Qian Shi's neck, but her body inexplicably leaned forward.
Ms. Qian remained silent; some things, the little baby had to face on his own.
Only parents know their own children. Not to mention the four brothers in the Tang family, these kids in the Tang family are also excellent.
Tang Dabao immediately nodded in agreement; he was losing his baby teeth at the time.
He lost one of his lower teeth, and his speech is still slurred.
"Yes, it's for you!" Tang Dabao said with a simple smile.
But in Su Bao's eyes, that smile was really beautiful and warm.
She turned to look at Madam Qian, who looked at Xiao Su Bao with an encouraging gaze.
The little baby took a deep breath, as if gaining strength, and slowly reached out his little hand to catch the flower wreath.
The flower wreath was so soft, and Xiao Su Bao's eyes crinkled with joy; she looked absolutely gorgeous.
Suddenly, Tang Dabao said to the little baby, "Let me help you put it on!"
Little Su Bao was a little reserved, but she still slowly lowered her head.
Tang Dabao slowly placed the flower wreath on the little girl's head.
"Aunt Su Bao is so beautiful..." Tang Dabao said with some amazement.
Xiao Su Bao is very thin, but that can't hide her beauty, especially the light shining in her eyes.
It gripped Tang Dabao's heart instantly.
He must protect these eyes...
Unlike the heartwarming scene here, the people from Zhao Village and Tang Village are almost at each other's throats again!
Tang Cheng's face was very gloomy. He had personally witnessed Village Chief Zhao accepting the money back then, and he had also seen his father accept the receipt with the other party's handprint on it.
But when Dad came home that year, he lost the receipt.
“You little brat, even your father used to call me ‘Big Brother.’ But you have no respect for your elders. You were raised by a widow, and you know nothing of manners…” Village Chief Zhao said coldly.
"You fucking want to die!"
Tang Shan grabbed a hoe and rushed over, smashing it down on Village Chief Zhao's head without saying a word.
"I'll kill you, you bastard Zhao! How dare you talk about my mother! Even if I lose my life, I'll fight you to the death, you old bastard!" Tang Shan stared fiercely at Village Chief Zhao, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
"Stop!" Madam Qian rushed over, carrying Xiao Su Bao, and blocked her son.
"Mother, he's talking about you!" Tang Shan looked at Qian Shi with a wronged expression.
Tang Shan's eyes were bloodshot, and his muscular physique looked very powerful. He gritted his teeth and glared at Village Chief Zhao not far away.
The Qian family is the Achilles' heel of the four brothers, and also the one they must protect.
Anyone who dares to speak ill of their mother, they'll fight them to the death!
Not only Tang Shan, but his other two sons also looked at the village chief of the Zhao family with icy expressions.
"What...what are you doing! Widow Qian, aren't you going to control your son? Look at him, he dares to be so fierce to his elders. He'll bring trouble to the family in the future!" Village Chief Zhao was startled. Seeing Qian holding Tang Shan, he immediately started shouting.
Qian turned her head and looked at Village Chief Zhao with a hostile expression.
"You're a nuisance, I think you're a nuisance. When Old Tang was around, I didn't realize you were so cunning. How did Old Tang die back then? Wasn't it to save you? You're not grateful at all!"
"What, now you want to wipe us out?"
"Zhao Lao Er, don't forget that there are gods watching over you. They see everything you do!" Qian stared at Village Chief Zhao and sneered.
