Without hiding anything, the two of them went to the fields to pick out two ripe watermelons before going up the mountain.
"Hey, what are you doing in my field?"
A middle-aged man ran over from a distance, pointing at them and shouting.
Su Qiao didn't even raise his head. He just used a knife to cut off two vines and put the two watermelon seeds he liked into the basket.
"Dabao?"
The man ran closer and saw Dabao. He was stunned for a moment, then remembered that he was a fool and didn't say much to him.
He turned his head to look at Su Qiao, and saw that she was putting watermelons from her own field into the basket, and he immediately became angry.
"Where did you come from, you little bitch? You actually came here to steal watermelons. Don't you even know who I am? You..."
"Shut up!"
Su Qiao pointed the tip of her knife at the man who rushed over to grab the watermelon, and said in a domineering manner: "I gave you two watermelons to eat because I think highly of you. Stop talking nonsense here."
The man was frightened and took a step back, but he was still furious: "What? You stole my watermelon and pulled my watermelon vines, and you still think highly of me? Where the hell are you from, wild girl? Believe me or not..."
Su Qiao took a step forward, staring at his stomach with a grim smile: "Believe it or not, if you say one more word, I will stab you in the stomach with this knife?"
The man finally got a little scared and swallowed: "You...you don't dare."
"I don't dare?" Su Qiao sneered: "Haha, then why don't you try?"
"You... where did you come from, you wild girl? This is really outrageous. I'll ask the village chief to come and give me some advice."
The man was scared and backed away while pointing at Su Qiao stubbornly.
"Why do you care where I come from? Go if you want. I'm going to get some from the village chief's field tomorrow. If it's convenient for you, just point me to the place, and I won't have to look for it tomorrow."
"You... you wait for me." The man didn't expect the little girl to be so arrogant. He turned around and ran towards the village.
"Just wait, I've never been afraid of anyone in my life." Su Qiao didn't take his words to heart and put the knife back on her waist.
Dabao looked at the man, then at Su Qiao, and his eyes gradually showed a hint of admiration.
"Let's go barbecue."
"Yeah." Dabao nodded vigorously, then holding a basket of spoils in both hands, he happily followed Su Qiao, and the two of them prepared to go to the place where they had a barbecue yesterday.
At the foot of the mountain, the two met Hu Dalong by chance.
What surprised Su Qiao was that this lazy guy was actually carrying a bucket of water to water the vegetable garden.
While watering the vegetable garden, he secretly glanced in the direction of a sycamore tree not far away.
Su Qiao followed his gaze and soon found a charming woman sitting under a paulownia tree eating melon seeds.
She had met this woman yesterday. Her name was Li Sufang. She was a widow, and a very beautiful and charming one.
I heard that many single men in the village, young and old, were drooling over her.
Seeing that she didn't leave, Dabao looked at Hu Dalong and Widow Li instead, and pulled her aside: "Let's go and grill some meat."
Su Qiao stopped looking at Li Sufen and took Dabao to the place where they had barbecued yesterday.
While Su Qiao and Dabao were happily eating watermelon and grilling chicken on the mountain, the Hu family welcomed two waves of uninvited guests at the foot of the mountain.
One was Liu Yufen, whose husband was beaten, and she brought a few sisters-in-law with her. The other was a man whose watermelon field was trampled all over and whose watermelons were stolen, and he brought his family to argue.
