Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine-Chapter 15 Intimidation
Chapter 15: 15 Intimidation
The men who followed finally reacted. They all gathered around.
"Today, if I can kill one, it’s worth it. Even if I can’t kill you all, even as a ghost, I won’t let you go. Come on, I want to see if you have the guts to kill me," Su Yuanyuan said with a calm face.
This made it hard for the men to make a move. But they still surrounded her, not letting her move. Looking at this girl, they felt something sinister about her.
"What? No one’s moving now? Scared?" Actually, with just those two moves, Su Yuanyuan was already out of strength. She was just putting on a brave front, waiting for someone to come.
"You little wretch, how dare you fight back? I’ll beat you to death today."
Su Yuanyuan didn’t even look at her. She just held onto the axe, and Xiang Jun attempted to snatch it, almost getting chopped in the process.
The sheep they bought kept struggling, bleating mournfully at Su Yuanyuan.
Finally, Su Yuanyuan saw who she was waiting for. Hu Chunhua and Yang Hongwen were running over.
Hu Chunhua ran into the courtyard, shoving Xiang Jun aside, and saw the little girl was fine, standing there with an axe.
"A bunch of bastards, don’t you have children? You’re all inhuman. Aren’t you afraid of divine retribution? A whole family bullying a child?"
Hu Chunhua was in full force, cursing with hands on her hips.
"You can’t say it like that, we weren’t bullying her. It was this girl who chopped at my arm."
"Serves you right. What were you doing at someone else’s house? What’s with your scandalous woman, the whole village knows about it today. They didn’t even meet, and you come to blackmail?"
Yang Hongwen looked at the four men from the Liu Family. They were actually honest, hard-working people.
"You don’t know what happened?"
Xiang Jun and his three brothers shook their heads. Xiang Jun just saw his wife return with a bloody face, and after his mother rubbed pot ash on her, she said it was the Su family’s girl who did it.
So their whole family came over.
"You barged into someone else’s house without knowing what happened?"
"Xiang Jun, your kids are even older than this girl. Don’t you feel ashamed? If you keep doing this, who will respect you in the village? Don’t you know how your wife is?
Just listening to her and coming to cause trouble without finding out the truth first?"
"Third brother, I really didn’t know what was happening."
"You didn’t know? Do you have no brains? Your wife’s age versus this little girl’s age? The little girl doesn’t even have a scratch, do you think it was her? Was your brain kicked by a donkey?"
"Third brother, in a panic, I forgot."
Wang Laogen listened to Yang Hongwen scolding his son and was very dissatisfied. However, hearing the situation, they were clearly in the wrong.
So he mumbled, not knowing what to say.
"I say, village chief, why are you always siding with this ruinous girl from a different family?"
"I call you aunt, but you have to act like one. We may not say to take care of her, but we definitely can’t bully her either. What? Heard she’s got some money and can’t sit still anymore? Your family has so many people, how much can’t you earn?
Aunt, doing harm will come back to you. Today everything that happened with your daughter-in-law at the mill is all over, go ask about it. You still have two unmarried sons at home, if the reputation of your family being greedy and harmful gets out, how will they find wives?"
"Alright, let this matter go, you should all return home."
"She didn’t touch Chunhong but did chop me twice. She’s small, otherwise would my arm be alright?"
"You know she’s small. There’s no such bullying in our village, don’t tarnish our village’s name."
"Let’s just leave it at that. But my arm is really in pain," she said while rolling up her sleeve. She was unhygienic, her arm was blackish, and you couldn’t really see anything.
Yang Hongwen held back his anger. "You barged into her house, knowing it was a little girl’s family, what were you planning? I’m covering for you, but if you don’t want me to, then handle it yourself, it’s up to you.
If she decides to sue you, I won’t care. Aren’t you aware that being greedy for others’ money is illegal?"
Now, the four men from the Liu Family turned around and took the woman with them as they left.
Now only three of them were left in the courtyard.
"Thank you, Uncle, thank you, Aunt."
"Girl, are you alright? You can’t act so recklessly, or your reputation will be ruined."
Su Yuanyuan chuckled bitterly. "Aunt, if I don’t act this way, there will be others tomorrow. Living alone in the village, people always try to take advantage."
Yang Hongwen sighed. "Yes, that’s true. Alright, be careful in the future."
"Hmm, I got it. Normally, I don’t go out, but there was no food at home, so I wanted to grind some flour, didn’t expect to run into them. Next time if anything like this happens, I’ll just turn around and come back."
The two both sighed. Yes, this girl is usually honest but was pushed to her limits.
It was just around dinner time, and there must be no one grinding flour at the mill. So she hurried inside, taking out a meat bun and a glass of milk to deal with this meal.
She carried the bag to the mill, although she had to push the mill and add corn kernels alone, it was peaceful without anyone saying offensive things around.
This small half bag of corn kernels took Su Yuanyuan an hour to finish grinding. It was really exhausting. She felt that the meat bun she ate was already digested and she was hungry again.
Returning home, she scooped a bowl of cornmeal for the sheep. She patted the sheep while it ate, "Were you trying to help me earlier? Haha, did you understand that?"
The sheep eating cornmeal suddenly lifted its head and bleated at Su Yuanyuan.
Su Yuanyuan laughed, "You really can understand, huh?"
It bleated a few more times.
"Okay, I know. I know. In the future, if something like that happens, I’ll definitely ask for your help. But we’ll wait until after you’ve given birth to the lambs, alright?"
She brought over more hay, then moved the chopped firewood into the woodshed.
However, looking at the woodshed, it clearly couldn’t fit everything. Whatever, let’s store the firewood in the west room, so even if it snows it won’t get wet.
Thinking about snow, Su Yuanyuan suddenly remembered that the house was very flimsy. What if it collapsed when it snowed?
Now Su Yuanyuan felt even more worried. No way, once Hu Chunhua and her spouse come, I must ask them. The most important thing now is the roof, if the house collapses in this big winter, what should I do?
In a bad mood, not hungry anymore, she initially wanted to eat some snacks, but now she couldn’t. She didn’t have any appetite at all.
Su Yuanyuan was someone with a short temper. She looked around, but realized she couldn’t climb up to the roof, and it made her so anxious she paced around the courtyard.ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
