"I see. In that case, Lin Yi is quite pitiful."
"I guess they saw that his family had a lot of wild game recently, and they were tempted to try and get some of it."
"I see. In that case, Lin Yi is quite pitiful."
"I guess they got envious because they saw how much wild game his family had recently acquired."
"Who wouldn't be envious? This year's harvest in our village is bad, and the Zhao family isn't the only one that can't afford meat."
"However, it is really going too far to rob someone of their belongings, get beaten up, and then try to extort money from them."
The surrounding villagers all changed their tune and started criticizing the old lady Zhao and her son.
Lin Qixia's "great strength" ability has also reached its limit.
Fortunately, she managed to bring the situation under control, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the next second, Old Mrs. Zhao was so enraged that she screamed, "Ahhh! You little bitch, you're bullying my son and grandson with your unreasonable arguments! I'll fight you to the death!"
At the same time, she rushed towards Lin Qixia.
Lin Qixia frowned and grabbed Old Lady Zhao at the crucial moment.
However, although the old lady was old, she was still in good health and quite strong.
However, due to the failure of her "great strength" function, she herself was somewhat unable to exert any strength.
Bang!
And just like that, Lin Qixia was pinned to the ground by Old Lady Zhao, who then grabbed her by the neck.
Just then, Lin Qixia's gaze swept over a figure in black.
Huo Yanqing appeared in an inconspicuous corner of the crowd, looking down at her and asking if she should make a move.
He was clearly ready to act; as long as Lin Qixia nodded, he would…
However, Lin Qixia quickly shook her head at him, stopping him from making a move.
She's not so bad that she can't even handle an old lady.
Huo Yanqing: "..."
A hint of displeasure flashed across his face, but he obediently and silently withdrew from the crowd.
"Lin family girl! If you don't give me an explanation today, I, Qian Ju, will die here rather than let you go!" Old Mrs. Zhao shouted.
Lin Qixia's ears hurt from her noise, so she grabbed her and pressed her hand down.
She then got up.
She had practiced these simple grappling techniques in modern times.
"Ah!" Old Mrs. Zhao cried out as she was pinned to the ground, her arm twisted in pain. "What do you want, Lin girl? You all saw it! This girl beat up an old lady like me who's over fifty! She's utterly heartless..."
Her shout caused the surrounding crowd to erupt in even greater commotion, with some people unable to contain themselves.
"Lin family girl, that's enough, isn't it?"
"That's right, even if the Zhao family is at fault, it's still too much for a junior like you to bully an elder..."
"Bullying an old person?" Lin Qixia chuckled. "It's clearly her who's disrespectful to her elders!"
As soon as she said that, the person who had spoken earlier shut up.
Then, Lin Qixia leaned down and whispered a threat to Old Lady Zhao, "I know you don't care about your own life, but you must care about your son and grandson, right?"
"If I could easily take care of your son, then could I just kill him?"
As soon as she said this, Old Lady Zhao's crying stopped instantly.
She glared at Lin Qixia, startled by the sharp, ruthless look in her eyes.
I never expected a little girl to say such cold and cruel things.
"I..." she was about to say, not believing that the other party could really do such a thing.
Lin Qixia cut her off before she could finish her sentence, saying, "If you don't believe me, you can try it, as long as you dare to bet."
Grandma Zhao was now completely too afraid to continue.
Seeing this, Lin Qixia finally let go of her.
Old Mrs. Zhao stood up and said to Lin Qixia, "Hmph! I'll let this matter go this time, but you just wait and see!"
"Dazhuang! What are you standing there for? Quickly help your father up, let's go!" Old Mrs. Zhao shouted at Zhao Dazhuang, who was not far away.
Zhao Dazhuang finally responded and went to help his father, who was lying on the ground.
"Don't go yet." Lin Qixia stepped forward and grabbed the father and son.
Old Mrs. Zhao turned her head and glared at her: "What else do you want?"
"Give back the candied fruit that Zhao Dazhuang stole from my Lin Yi!" Lin Qixia commanded in an unquestionable voice.
"Don't go too far!" Old Mrs. Zhao yelled angrily.
Zhang Dazhuang said in a trembling voice, "I've already shared the candied fruit with Erni."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qixia glanced at him with a slightly cold look.
"I was wrong!" Zhao Dazhuang was so frightened by her that he immediately knelt down.
Old Mrs. Zhao was so angry that she scolded him: "What are you good-for-nothing brat doing kneeling before her? Get up!"
However, Zhao Dazhuang's legs went weak, and he struggled for a long time but couldn't get up.
Seeing this, Lin Qixia chuckled and said to him, "Since that's the case, then you should apologize to Lin Yi."
I had promised Lin Yi that I would help her get the candied fruit back, but now I have to settle for second best.
"Why should I?" Old Mrs. Zhao asked, looking unwilling, and tried to stop her grandson.
However, Lin Qixia stopped him the next second.
Zhao Dazhuang, still kneeling, turned around and looked towards Lin Yi.
Lin Yi was so frightened that she hid behind He Zhilan.
Lin Qixia gently comforted her, "Yi'er, don't be afraid, Dazhuang apologized to you."
"I'm sorry." Perhaps feeling humiliated, Zhao Dazhuang cried as he wiped away his tears and apologized.
Lin Yi's eyes widened in surprise upon seeing this.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Dazhuang actually apologized to her. In the past, he was another arrogant little tyrant in the village, besides his aunt.
"N-nothing." Lin Yi was stunned by Lin Qixia's series of actions.
Her attention was diverted, and she was no longer saddened by those candied fruits.
After apologizing, Zhao Dazhuang looked at his grandmother, Old Lady Zhao.
