"Oh? Or else what? You want to hit me? Don't forget, the Cheng's were outsiders. You dare strike me, I will make it impossible for you to stay here. You want to try?" An Hung niang got more brazen.
"Very well, let's find out!" Said Cheng Xiao Xiao with a deathly look as she command the two dogs with her consciousness.
Mrs. Cheng tried very hard to suppress her anger, "An Hung niang, don't you think you are crossing the line? We grew these as food for our family, you don't have the rights to come and pick them!"
"Rights? I am An Hung niang, I pick what I want. Don't you dare tell me what I can or cannot pick!" With a look of despise and arm full of bok choy, An Hung niang looked at the two of them with a sideways glance, "You should keep in mind that it's us Willow villagers that took you in. Otherwise you will have nowhere to be!"
Woof woof woof woof....
Suddenly the two dogs charged at An Hung niang. Mrs. Cheng, who was just about to make a comment was shocked.
An Hung niang, who was about to leave, was startled and started taking off, bok choy and all in toll, while shouting behind her, "You bunch of ungrateful people! Just you wait!"
Woof woof woof woof....
The two dogs followed their order and chased after her and a race between the human and the dogs ensued. Even though An Hung niang was a farm woman, but she was a bit on the chubby side. There was no way she could out run the two dogs, let alone that these were not your normal dogs.
After about 20 meters or so, she was surrounded by the two dogs. Under Cheng Xiao Xiao's order, they did not lurk forward to bite her right away.
Seeing her trapped by the dogs, Cheng Xiao Xiao laughed coldly. Mrs. Cheng, who was standing next to her, worried that the dogs would hurt her and cause more trouble and rushed over, "Xiao Xiao, don't let the dogs bite her!"
"Mom, how is it our fault if she's bitten by the dogs when she came to steal from us?" said Cheng Xiao Xiao, but she agreed with her mother. "Mom, you stay where you are. Don't get any closer. We wouldn't want her to hurt you."
Mrs. Cheng nodded. She knew that An Hung niang was an unreasonable shrewd and didn't want to deal with her either.
Cheng Xiao Xiao walked toward An Hung niang while picking up the vegetables that she had dropped. Even though these weren't fully grown, they were already half grown and could be stir fried. She didn't want them to go to waste.
"Mom, big sister, what happened? Eh, our vegetables were yanked?"
"Mom, what's happening to An Hung niang?"
"Why are the dogs trying to bite An Hung niang? Did she steal something?"
The three young ones came out of nowhere. Cheng Zheng Yuan ran over and helped Cheng Xiao Xiao in picking up the dropped vegetables. "Mom, she was stealing our vegetables?"
The out-of-breath An Hung niang was enraged. Of course, she was afraid of the mean-looking dogs in front of her, but she wasn't going to let that show. She shouted angrily at Cheng Xiao Xiao, "You skank, how dare you sic the dogs on me! Let me tell you, I am not a nobody. You better send your dogs away now, otherwise, you will have to answer to the Willow villagers!"
"Good idea!" Cheng Xiao Xiao stared at her coldly and said to her brother, "Zheng Yuan, why don't you hurry over to Willow Village and invite Patriarch Liu over. I would like him to opine on who's at fault here!"
"Okay, I will head over right away. I couldn't believe she was shouting at us after she tried to steal from us!" Cheng Zheng Yuan give An Hung niang an angry stare before running toward Willow Village.
An Hung niang seemed concerned for a second, but recovered quickly. Lifting her chin, she said, "Great, you should call the villagers over! We will take back our land and evict you all!"
