Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 56: 56 desperately

A lot of people gathered outside the yard.

”Those outside, watch your step. These are my crops, if anyone tramples even a single seedling, I’ll pull out a hundred of theirs.”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked down at their feet.

Yang Hongwen looked at her arrogant demeanor, feeling only a pang of heartache inside.

He seemed to suddenly understand the reason behind the girl’s actions.

Su Yuanyuan finished speaking and lowered her head to look at the woman sitting on the ground.

”I’m telling you, my sheep didn’t eat your crops. If you dare say it again, you’d better keep an eye on me, otherwise I’ll set your house on fire. Do you believe me? Try me.”

Even though there were dozens of people here, there was no sound at all. People were scared by Su Yuanyuan, yes, even though she’s young and holds no deep grudges, couldn’t really kill her, but you couldn’t prevent her revenge.

”I’ve never been near your land, how did my sheep eat your corn seedlings, huh?”

”No, no. It was Sun Hongying who said your sheep ate them.”

”Oh? Do you think I’m easy to bully? Do you think I have no means?

Haha, either you kill me, or you wait for me to kill you.” She finished speaking and raised the hatchet, aiming straight for the head this time.

Hu Chunhua had already reached Su Yuanyuan and grabbed her hand, blocking the hatchet. At this time, the woman’s husband pulled her back. Then he looked angrily at Su Yuanyuan.

”What? Are you not satisfied, come on, let’s try?”

”I won’t stoop to a child’s level.”

”Haha, really funny. If you’re bold enough, try meeting me at the same level. I’m really not afraid.”

Yang Hongwen sighed, walked up to Su Yuanyuan, and tried to take the hatchet away, but this girl held it very tightly.

He saw the girl staring stubbornly at him.

”Girl, trust me, as long as I’m here, no one will bully you. This won’t solve anything.”

After he finished speaking, he felt the girl loosen her grip. Only then did he manage to take the hatchet.

Before he could speak, Su Yuanyuan spoke up, ”Is there anyone from Sun Hongying’s family here? Ask her to come over, otherwise.”

The rest of the words weren’t spoken, just seeing a child running off.

Just now, Su Yuanyuan was really furious, those few hits with the hatchet she genuinely wanted to strike at those two scoundrels, now that she’s calmer, she feels a bit fearful. But since things have come to this, she wasn’t going to let it go easily.

”Tell me what happened, Zhang Guoqing, you speak.”

”This morning, as I went to the fields, I saw the Sun Family’s girl herding sheep, and upon reaching the fields, I saw a large area of corn seedlings had been gnawed, so I asked the Sun Family’s girl, and she said Su Yuanyuan had been herding sheep in my fields.”

”Fool, you believed that? This morning I was clearing weeds in my own fields, did you see the ruts from the vehicle? I don’t even know where your fields are.”

Yang Hongwen also glared at Zhang Guoqing, what an idiot.

”Is it clear now? Hurry up and apologize to me, otherwise this matter won’t end here. As for whose sheep ate your corn seedlings, think about that yourself.”

Zhang Guoqing felt quite embarrassed too, being a grown man. He really didn’t want to stoop to the level of this little girl. He couldn’t really pity her, he just didn’t want others saying he bullied children.

”Girl, I’m sorry, Uncle was misled by someone.”

Being able to admit fault and let go of pride. Su Yuanyuan looked at Zhang Guoqing with newfound respect.

”Alright, I accept the apology.

Is Sun Hongying afraid to come over? No problem, I’ll go find her.”

Yang Hongwen knew Su Yuanyuan was still angry, ”Girl, I’ll send someone to call their family over.”

”Uncle, I’m not being aggressive or unreasonable, what I’m saying is true. I won’t bother anyone, but no one should think about bullying me.”

”I know.” From now on, everyone would avoid this girl even more.

Actually, Yang Hongwen didn’t want Su Yuanyuan to be so harsh. After all, she’s still young, still a girl. But since things have come to this, let it be, go with the flow.

More and more people gathered outside the yard. Mainly it was Li Xiaolan and Zhao Chunping who came here cursing all the way, word spread quickly, and gradually people came to watch the scene.

Few people came over to Su Yuanyuan’s place. Now that they saw her, they felt quite fond of her.

All hard-working folks, naturally liking those who are diligent and capable. This girl, only about eight-nine years old, already accomplished so much, shows she’s anything but lazy.

Su Yuanyuan turned around to feed the little pig and also gave the chickens, ducks, and geese some water. She didn’t pay any mind to the people in and outside the yard.

After finishing, she stood beside Hu Chunhua, just waiting for the Sun Family.

This matter definitely needed to give Sun Hongying a lesson she’d never forget.

After waiting for about ten minutes, the Sun Family finally came over. Sun Dazhuang walked in front, followed by his siblings.

”Village chief, what’s this about?”

Looking at this simple man, Su Yuanyuan suddenly found him quite pitiful.

”Sun Dazhuang, I need to ask your Yingzi something.”

Sun Hongying, after all, being only nine years old, had never seen such a spectacle?

But she knew it must be because the matter of herding sheep had been found out.

”Yingzi, did you say you saw Su Yuanyuan eating the corn seedlings from Zhang Guoqing’s house?”

Sun Hongying looked at Li Xiaolan and Zhao Chunping beside her, who seemed ready to eat her alive. She knew she was exposed.

Actually, after she spoke about Su Yuanyuan back then, she regretted it. But she held onto a fluke mentality, thinking even if that wretched girl didn’t admit, no one would believe her.

But her little brother from Uncle’s family told her, just now Su Yuanyuan tried to strike someone, she knew she couldn’t get away with it.

Although she was only nine years old, living in such an unfair family taught her what was beneficial to her.

So now she immediately changed her stance, without even speaking, tears were already falling. ”Uncle, it was nonsense from me. Actually, it was my sheep that ate them. I was scared at the time, so I spoke about Su Yuanyuan. Uncle, I was wrong, I know now.”

Su Yuanyuan stood on the side coldly laughing, really a smart one.

Saying this, many people could understand and sympathize.

”Why didn’t you mention someone else? Guessing it’s because you think I’m a soft target?”

”Yuanyuan, I’m sorry, I was too scared at the time. Sorry.”

Just then, voices of discussion were heard beside them, all saying that Sun Hongying, being a child, behaved quite normally.

Su Yuanyuan sneered, ”One apology and it’s resolved? You’re thinking really nicely. Today you lied because a sheep ate the corn seedlings, what will you lie about in the future?

Don’t tell me you were scared, was I not scared? I live alone, haven’t offended any of you, just because of this little matter you came to my place shouting about beating and killing?

But you’re all disappointed, I won’t swallow this loss.”
