"Who do you think you are? You think you have the rights to evict us?" Asked Cheng Xiao Xiao sternly, with a cold look.
She might look like a pushover, but she was not the kind who'd let people walk all over her.
Under Cheng Xiao Xiao's sword-like stare, even An Hung niang was a little intimidated. Not to mention the two dogs that were starting at her.
"Just you guys wait!" Even though she was a bit intimidated on the inside, An Hung niang wasn't going to let it show. She looked straight at Mrs. Cheng, the one she to her seemed easiest to bully, and shouted, "Mrs. Cheng, don't be so ungrateful! Who let your family of six stayed here back in the days? Now that your situation is improving, have you forgotten that it was us who had taken you in? I am telling you, you better let me go. Otherwise, I will make sure you won't be able to stay here any longer!"
"…." Mrs. Cheng was looking extremely displeased.
Surely, Patriarch Liu was generous enough to let them settle down there back in the days. But they didn't take advantage of the villagers either. They have given each villagers 1 tael of silver. She couldn't believe An Hung niang was throwing this back at her now.
Cheng Xiao Xiao had no idea of what really transpired, but she knew that her mother was a kind person, and didn't want to see her being bullied, so she said directly, "An Hung niang, let's wait and see who was the ungrateful one here!"
"You useless tramp, your whole family is shameless…"
"Shut your mouth!" Shouted Cheng Xiao Xiao while staring at her with disdain, "One more word and I will have the dogs drink your blood and eat your flesh. Go ahead, try me!"
She didn't care if An Hung niang was only targeting her, but she wouldn't let her insult her family. She would not let anyone hurt her family.
Right at this moment, Cheng Zheng Bin, who had entered the house and came back out, called out to his older sister, "Big sister, dad said don't be afraid of her! These all belong to us!"
"Bullsh*t, you…" An Hung niang, who was just about to jump up and shout back, caught sight of Cheng Xiao Xiao's fierce look and stopped herself, remembered what she said about drinking her blood and eating her flesh.
Mrs. Cheng was also shocked by the gory threat coming from her daughter. She lips moved slightly but she didn't say anything.
Cheng Zheng Bin didn't think much of it. As a matter of fact, he was quite supportive his sister's defiant style.
From afar, a group of young and elderlies were approaching them. They could tell these were Willow villagers. The trapped An Hung naing smiled triumphantly.
Cheng Xiao Xiao didn't show any change of emotions. Her eyes flickered as she looked on at the individuals brought by her younger brother Zheng Yuan. Frankly, she didn't know too many to find out about the changes of her family. But she also understood that it was impossible to keep it a secret. Perhaps it would be beneficial for them to find out about it now. After all, she planned on going to the marketplace in a couple of days, others would find out sooner or later. She should take this day as an opportunity to let the Willow villagers find out the changes of her family so they wouldn't think much of it later on.
As everybody looked on, the Willow villagers came closer and closer. Other than Patriarch Liu, there were a few other men and woman, along with a few rug rats.
"Mom, big sister!" Cheng Zheng Yuan wiped away his sweat and walked to stand beside his older sister.
Cheng Xiao Xiao nodded at him. Worries flashed passed Mrs. Cheng's eyes. Sure, her past life wasn't ordinary, but she had never been in a situation like this before. She resorted to letting her oldest daughter to handle this.
"Patriarch, please come and be the judge of this! The Cheng's family has gone too far this time! They told these two wild dogs to drink my blood and eat my flash! Yo!!u need to give me justice!"
"An Hung niang! What nonsense are you talking about?!"
"An Hung niang! Why were you here stealing stuff?"
"What happened?! There really are two dogs here!"
"Damn woman, are you crazy? What are you doing at the Cheng's?!"
Everybody in the approaching group started talking as they walked closer and closer. The two dogs guarded them with alert. They seemed to have sensed hostility and started barking, "Woof Woof Woof Woof…."
The barking dogs startled everyone and made them stopped in their steps. Everybody looked frightened by the two dogs.
Patriarch Liu hadn't said anything yet. He frowned and examined An Hung niang. Cheng Zheng Yuan had already clued the villagers in the event on their way. Judging by what it looked it, he didn't think the Cheng's were making all these up.
An Hung niang's husband, Liu Sanzhen, looked quite displeased as well. He started scolding An Hung niang, "Are you crazy? Why did you come over the brother Cheng's place to cause trouble out of the blue?"
"Liu Sanzhen, are you useless? They are siccing their dogs to attack me! Why aren't you killing them?!" Shouted An Hung niang in distress.
Liu Sanzhen's dark face was turning darker. He stared at his wife angrily. Everybody else were about to burst out in laughter.
"Okay, An Hung niang, why don't you tell us what happened?" said Patriarch Liu as he suppressed his laugh.
Everybody had a pretty good idea what had happened, but they had to ask An Hung niang, and gave her a chance to tell her side of the story.
By now An Hung niang, was already angered from embarrassment, she only continued to shout, "What had happened? Don't you guys see? The Cheng's are bullying us Willow villagers. They told their dogs to drink my blood and eat my flesh. They are crossing the line. Patriarch Liu, you need to evict them at once! We don't need these ungrateful people in our village! They are beasts! No wonder they had to run away from where they were! We don't know to keep these kind of people around in Willow Village!
"That's enough!"
Cheng Xiao Xiao was angered all over again. The two dogs that could sense her emotion immediately turned their head and stared at An Hung niang with murderous intent and slowly closed in on her.
The abnormality alerted the hunters of Willow Village. They all turned pale. They saw that the two friendly-looking dog had suddenly turned into fierce wolves and could tear their targets up into million pieces in a matter of seconds.
An Hung niang, who was just about to throw out more insults, also noticed something was wrong. She saw that everybody were now watching the two dogs alarmingly. She looked into the menacing eyes of the two animals and instantly felt a chill down her spine. She shivered and dared not to say another word.
Mrs. Cheng also noticed the change, the two tamed dog looked as through they had transformed into killer wolves in an instant. She was just about to say something when Patriarch Liu looked suspiciously at the cold Cheng Xiao Xiao and spoke, "Maiden Cheng, don't let the dogs harm anyone!"
"What's wrong with thieves being bitten by dogs? Especially those with foul mouth worse than that of a toilet. They should be bitten by dogs!"
"C'mon, maiden Cheng, you can't be serious!" Liu Sanzhen was a good hunter. Even though others found his wife annoying, he was well respected around the village.
Cheng Xiao Xiao turned and looked at him, nonchalantly she asked, "Third Uncle Liu, you had a good idea what's going on. You know who's the bully here. Not to mention that I had never offended her, I don't understand why she was targeting us. Not only did she come and steal our produce, she also continued to insult my family and very adamant about evicting us…."
She turned and swept over everyone with her look and asked gently, "Be honest here, have my family ever done anything that have wronged you? And her, not only was she insulting us, and she so righteously came and steal from us. In addition to stealing from us, she also felt entitled to insult us to our faces. Can you please explain that to me?"
