But before she could even enter the door, she heard a series of hurried and heavy footsteps behind her, as if they were chasing something. Shen Wangxin looked around and saw that there was no one around. The person behind her was obviously here for her. She didn't even turn back as she went in through the back door and locked it behind her.

Shen Wangxin had just put the eggplant into the kitchen when she heard a knocking sound from outside.

There were two or three sounds, but she didn't have time to look. The door was about to be broken and the dust on the wall was falling. If it weren't for the fact that these two wooden doors were thick and were beaten down like a drum, they would have already fallen down with a "clang".

Auntie Shen had just come in from the front yard. She was shocked by the commotion and looked at Shen Wangxin. She was holding a basin and was washing her hands by the well in the backyard.

Her small hands were in the water, carefully rubbing it, white and tender as young bamboo shoots, and no girl loved cleanliness more than she did.

"Xin, who's knocking on the door?" Auntie Shen frowned in displeasure.

How could Shen Wangxin know? She didn't even see if the other person was male or female. She was only able to walk a few steps faster with her instincts, so she wasn't stopped by the people behind her. Otherwise, based on this person's hand strength, her small body wouldn't be able to do much.

"I don't know who it was, but when I returned from the ground, this person started chasing me. You saw what happened afterwards. "

"I want to see who it is!" Auntie Shen's frown deepened when she heard Shen Wangxin's words.

Looking at the strength he used to knock on the door, he had to be an adult no matter what. Was it really that interesting for a man to scare a little girl like Shen Wangxin?

With an aggressive "shua" sound, Auntie Shen pulled the bolt on the door.

As soon as the door was opened, a burly woman with her hands on her hips looked around. After looking for a long time and not seeing Shen Wangxin behind the door, she shouted, "Where is the owner of this house? Get out of the way, let me go in and pull that little hoof out, argue with me, and see what she's doing! "

Auntie Shen knew this woman, and she was a distant relative of the previous owner of the house. When the previous owner of the house lived here, the relationship between the two families wasn't very good because the woman's family was valiant and unreasonable. Originally, Shen Wangxin and her family wouldn't be able to get along after moving in. She didn't expect that in just a few days, the other party would aggressively come knocking on her door.

She had wanted to ask him about what had happened, but she had called Shen Wangxin a little hoof the moment she arrived, and had even said that Shen Wangxin had done something shameful. Auntie Shen had been angered at that, and her face did not look too good either.

"Sure, Zhang Cuihua. Just stand in front of the door and talk. If you want to tell me what my family's Xin did, I will cut off my head for you to sit on. If you can't say it, then don't blame me for showing you who's boss! " Auntie Shen was no pushover. Upon hearing Zhang Cuihua's dirty mouth, she immediately said that Shen Wangxin had done something bad, and even went up to tear her heart apart.

At this time, Shen Wangxin finished washing her hands and stood up from the back of the well. Finally, she appeared in Zhang Cuihua's line of sight.

Zhang Cuihua raised her eyebrows as her lips curled downwards. With her eyes wide open, the few layers of fat on her neck trembled. "Let me tell you, even if your old man is righteous, this matter isn't over today. Didn't your family protect this little girl? You guys picked up the things that the rich didn't want. "Then today, I want to bicker with you guys. How do you count the matter of Little Legs stealing the vegetables from my field?"

"You!" After all, Auntie Shen had stayed in the village for so long, so she knew a bit about the matters at the head of the village.

Previously, the dishes in Zhang Cuihua's house were indeed grown on this plot of land. However, she wasn't sure if Shen Wangxin had also bought these two acres of land when she had bought the house. For a moment, she didn't have any idea what to do, so she subconsciously turned around to look at Shen Wangxin.

This small expression of hers didn't escape Zhang Cuihua's eyes. The flesh on her face squeezed her face so hard that it deformed her facial features, revealing a plump smile, and even had a little bit of pride on her face.

Shen Wangxin nodded to Auntie Shen, signaling her not to panic. She then asked Zhang Cuihua, "Don't worry, I'll ask you first, is this land owned by your uncle? All these years, your uncle has split half an acre of land for you to grow vegetables.

Zhang Cuihua didn't quite understand what Shen Wangxin meant by 'benevolence and righteousness'. However, she knew what was beside her. When she heard Shen Wangxin ask her this question, she thought Shen Wangxin was going to admit defeat, so she naturally raised her head and said, "You actually know that this land belongs to my uncle! Yesterday I saw that something was wrong with the vegetables in the field. This morning, I saw the cat in the backyard. It turned out that you, a little hoof, stole my family's vegetables. What do you think we should do? "

"What should we do?" Shen Wangxin calmly took out a white handkerchief and wiped the water droplets off her hands. She stared at her pink fingernails and asked without raising her head, "Zhang Cuihua, I should be the one asking you this, right? You planted your own dishes in my field and you're asking me what to do! Today, I'm in a good mood, so I'll give you two options. Either that, or you can eat all the dishes in your house today. Either that, or all the vegetables in the vegetable patch belong to me. You decide what you want to do, I'm not as nice as your uncle! "

The reason why Shen Wangxin bought this courtyard was not only to her liking, but also because the former owner of the courtyard seemed to be an honest and sincere person. Sure enough, after living here, the house had everything and the entire yard was neat and tidy.

However, he didn't expect that there would always be a group of evil people around him, who would always take advantage of him. Ever since she knew that Zhang Cuihua had grown the dishes, she knew that the front room hadn't voluntarily given Zhang Cuihua the land.

In a country like this, losing half an acre of land meant losing half an acre of food. The year of harvest was not bad, but when the harvest was not good, the whole family would have to live with their pants tightened because of half an acre of land!

Clearly, the land was the lifeline of the farmers!

There were quite a lot of people in the front room, so even if he was an honest man, he wouldn't voluntarily send the land out to someone else to plant, right? The previous owner was willing to give Zhang Cuihua a cheap share, so she didn't care about it. However, this piece of land was hers, and the title deed was also her, Shen Wangxin's, name. Not just anyone could scrape away a layer of oil with this!

"Impossible!" How could my uncle's land be yours? Furthermore, this house is so big, how could a little girl like you be able to afford it? " Zhang Cuihua was momentarily stupefied. She thought that Shen Wangxin would compensate her with a few coins no matter what, but who knew that she would actually want to eat all the vegetables she grew!

She was not stupid and immediately found an excuse for herself, "You must have sneakily moved in while my uncle wasn't around! You must not have expected me to look after the house for my uncle. "Today, I'm not afraid of you robbers. Since you've chased me out of my uncle's house, I will follow a little slut with the surname of Shen!"
