Chapter 370: 370. The Friendship Between the Dog and the Goose_1
In the main hall.
Zhang Yanping’s ears were pricked up straighter than Teletubby antennas; he couldn’t help but seize his wrist and lant,
“If only I hadn’t let Sun Shouping leave. If he had taken those three big dogs out, I’m sure this old lady would have been scared shitless. This is just too shaless!”
It wasn’t that they didn’t respect their elders, but so people simply didn’t deserve any respect.
Xin Jun, however, shook his head.
His family was in business and dealt with all kinds of custors. He seed quite experienced now: “Useless. The big boss was watching from the mountain, right? You saw how the old lady acted only when she wanted to, she doesn’t seem scared at all.”
“Besides, if Boss Sun really did take his dogs out, it would be different from the guard dog on the mountain. If the old lady just lay on the ground and said she was scared by the dogs… Even if we don’t end up compensating, we’d still get sared with the stench.”
“You should say, it’s a good thing he left. After all, the dogs he brought were even soone else’s.”
That’s also true.
Zhang Yanping turned to look at Song Youde and Song Sancheng, who were sitting there in silence:
“Uncle, was this old lady always like this when she was young?”
Song Sancheng thought for a mont: “Pretty much. When she was young, everyone said she was a fierce daughter-in-law. She never got the short end of the stick in the village, and she was quite aggressive too.”
But after all, she ca from a child bride background. The village won felt sorry for her, and the n didn’t want to make things difficult for her. Sotis, when soone snatched a bunch of vegetables or pulled so fruits from her ho, it was no big deal, and nobody minded much.
Who would have thought, now that fewer people fard, her behavior has grown even worse!
Just consider, how much can an old lady like her really eat every day? Even if she wanted to pick so food, would neighbors grumble a bit and then actually guard their gardens on purpose?
But she just wouldn’t!
Today, the old lady pinches a bunch of vegetables from soone, and by evening, she’s wandering around the village calling them lazy and criticizing their poor crops—who can stand this?
Now, she’s despised by both people and dogs in the village.
When everyone gathers in the small square to dance at night, as soon as she shows up, everyone ignores her completely.
Song Sancheng was sowhat puzzled: “This isn’t the first ti our family has sold things outside the village, and we’ve hired help from the village several tis. She only ca knocking this ti; I find it quite strange…”
Little did he know, it was all thanks to the fearso reputation of the big boss who had ‘eaten a tiger’!
Outside, Song Tan said such harsh words, expecting that the old lady would at least quiet down a bit.
But unexpectedly, Old Lady Zhou just thick-skinnedly nodded: “That’s right. He pulled at my clothes, even pushed
into the pigsty. Look how I struggled; my clothes are torn! I’m telling you, if today you don’t apologize and compensate
for these clothes, I’ll spread the word throughout our brigade!”
Give
a break! Even when others tried to keep the peace, didn’t you spread rumors anyway?
Wu Lan was so angry her face turned white.
Everyone knew the reputation of Old Lady Zhou, and nobody would believe her words. But their Qiaoqiao was such a good child, why should she get involved with such bad luck?
The other party was an oddball hated by both people and dogs!
Old Lady Zhou was triumphant, watching as Wu Lan was seething with anger. Wu Lan looked left and right, and then suddenly grabbed the pitchfork beside her, charging out—
“Dare to slander my son, I’ll tear your old face to pieces first!!!”
Boy, did that give Song Tan a fright. The pitchfork wasn’t going to tear just the face, it looked more like it was going for the skull!
She hurried to intervene, and without a second word, grabbed both grandmas by the arm, pushing them forcefully toward the side of the main hall: “Co inside, don’t be angry! Leave it to !”
Old Lady Zhou also got a fright.
Nothing else mattered to her as much as her own life. After all, you need to be alive to enjoy anything.
However, seeing Song Tan’s hesitation, Old Lady Zhou beca confident and laughed triumphantly,
“Co on! Hit
right here! Does this old da look scared to you?”
“If you don’t kill , I’ll sue in the court!”
Song Tan: … You even know about the court! Looks like you have quite a bit of experience, huh! Not scared of the soft or hard approach, right?
She had seen enough to know that so people had no sha; as long as they could gain an advantage, nothing else mattered.
She dared not resort to violence, knowing that these days one couldn’t just strike an old lady. As for cursing, they were like resilient peas made of solid copper, unafraid of any verbal abuse.
As for calling the police or involving the village leaders… if that were effective, would Old Mrs. Zhou be so brazen?
So, without further ado, upon hearing the front hall door close again after Wu Lan had re-entered the house, she gave a whistle and called out:
“King Big White!”
Although there was so distance from the old house, and despite Song Tan’s loud voice, Wu Lan couldn’t help feeling doubtful: “As if yelling like that would be heard…”
But no sooner had the words left her mouth than a loud bark echoed from afar—
“Woof! Woof woof!”
The surprised onlookers scrambled to peek through the door planks, and Qiaoqiao, anxious as could be, simply went into the bedroom and flung open the window facing the yard!
Crowded together, they shifted to a new vantage point to watch.
King’s bark was truly fierce!
Facing such a large dog, Old Mrs. Zhou couldn’t help but feel intimidated.
But then she thought—if Qiaoqiao hadn’t dared to let the dog bite her on the mountain, it was just biting clothes, right?
Relaxing her grip on her garnt, she taunted, “Co on! Bite !”
The glimpse of loose, pale skin underneath her clothes made Song Tan sigh silently. Fortunately, the seam hadn’t completely co undone, and it was still presentable enough to look at.
A peculiar smile appeared on her lips.
Old Mrs. Zhou’s heart tightened, then in the following mont, she heard a loud and strident call:
“Honk Goose Goose Goose Goose Goose—”
That was Big White’s real cry!
At this mont, it was flapping its short wings and plunging down the path, and although it was several beats slower than King, its webbed feet slapped on the scorching concrete with agility and precision!
It dashed forth, and seeing King stationed vigilantly at the entrance to the yard glaring at Old Mrs. Zhou, it refused to show weakness. At this mont, its beady eyes fixed on the petite old lady who dared encroach on its territory, stretching its neck out straighter than ever!
Then, with a swift dive forward and a “honk,” it latched onto Old Mrs. Zhou’s exposed thigh!
“Ow—”
Even a burly man couldn’t withstand a light nip from Big White, let alone Old Mrs. Zhou!
She imdiately leaped up, tears nearly spurting out.
And clearly, Big White was also quite asured.
The mont Old Mrs. Zhou leaped, it released, but as soon as her foot hit the ground, it bit down again!
For a ti, the air was filled with the cacophony of people shouting, geese honking, and dogs barking. Laughter—heartless, desperate, triumphant—filled the air relentlessly.
The entire yard was alive with mirth and rrint.
Old Mrs. Zhou scrambled desperately through the yard, being caught and bitten by Big White every chance it got!
In no ti, her legs were marked with deep and shallow bruises.
Gasping for air, she ran with difficulty, interspersed with attempts to resist by grabbing anything at hand to throw and strike back…
But no matter what she threw, Big White could always find the most precise angle to strike fiercely!
Finally, an indignant Old Mrs. Zhou shouted, “You… you’re letting the goose abuse the elderly! I will sue you!”
Song Tan waved her hand dismissively, her face stern:
“That’s none of my concern. I called for our family’s dog; it’s their affair if the dog gets along well with the goose.”
