Looking at the tightly wrapped fingers, Qin An felt warm in his heart, and his deep eyes reflected the woman's downturned pretty face.
She doesn't want to marry him, so it would be nice to live like this for the rest of her life.
As long as you don't move away...
Su Yan didn't know what he was thinking. She took back her hand and glanced at the sky, muttering: "Is it going to rain?"
"No, there was a moon last night, so it should rain tomorrow." Qin An shook his head and continued making hairpins with the wooden block.
Not long after, a middle-aged couple came. The woman, Huang Qinshi, said nothing and tilted her head to look into the yard.
When she saw the two rabbits in captivity, she immediately yelled with confidence: "Widow Li, you are shameless. You actually picked up the animal traps in my house, please return them to us quickly."
"The rabbits are also ours. I have never seen you so shameless."
"You're such a shameless thing. No wonder you can shamelessly live in a man's house. If I were you, I would have jumped into the river and died."
Qin An's expression changed and he said fiercely: "Say it again!"
His sudden voice startled the Huang family couple, and Su Yan was also frightened. It was rare to see him angry, and he usually kept his voice soft when talking to her.
Then she stood up and patted his arm gently, signaling him not to speak for the time being.
She had some impression of these two people. They were the Huang family couple who made bamboo baskets and sold them in the village.
They all have honest faces, but they are not honest in their work.
Sure enough, being evil-minded has nothing to do with looks.
She walked to the door of the courtyard, pretending to be guilty and said: "Your names are not written on the animal trap, so you say that what is yours is yours? There is no such truth."
Huang Qin was thinking about the two rabbits, and she definitely couldn't let it go like this. She pointed at her and cursed: "You are shameless. We bought the animal trap for fifty cents each in the town, and there are yellow characters on it."
When they heard some noise from the surrounding area, they came out to watch the excitement. Soon a group of men, women and children gathered around them.
Su Yan didn't say anything. She picked up the animal trap from the door of the courtyard wall and took a look. Sure enough, there was a yellow letter on it.
She looked a little cold, "That doesn't mean the rabbit is yours. Can you tell me where you buried it?"
Huang Liang immediately said in a rough voice: "Under the big banyan tree and next to the hunting hole."
As soon as he placed it near the entrance of the cave, Su Yan became angry. She knew that someone else had dug the hole, but he still placed it.
Who knew someone could turn a hole they dug into a trap for a beast?
She grabbed the broom beside her and hit him. The next moment, she hit Huang Liang hard on the leg, several times.
Qin An's pain would be in vain if he just asked for medical expenses.
She suddenly made a move, and the people around her were startled. Qin An immediately stood up and moved to the door without using the stick. He stared at the woman not far away, showing worry.
Huang Liang was being beaten, and he covered it with his painful hands. He became angry and said: "You are crazy, what are you doing!"
Huang Qinshi was nearby and wanted to catch Su Yan, but Su Yan just beat her together. They were both uneasy and well-intentioned people.
She spoke neither too fast nor too slowly: "You don't worry about pinching people, but you come and ask me for rabbits confidently. If you don't pay for the medical expenses, I will come to your house and demolish your house."
"There are so many people in the village collecting firewood, and you put the animal trap there, do you want to kill people?"
We have to involve other people in this matter, otherwise the Huang family may not lose money.
As soon as Goudan's mother saw a fight starting, she asked Jiang Caifu to call the village chief, then squeezed in to help and shouted: "It's just that there are so many people in the village collecting firewood, and you don't say anything, it's simply unconscionable."
"If you are so immoral, you won't be afraid that your ancestral graves will be dug up."
At this point, she hit Huang Liang on the leg with a stick. Huang Liang screamed "Ah". Huang Qin was so angry that he came to arrest Su Yan regardless of her.
But before he even got close, he was pushed away. He fell to the ground and squatted down, crying in pain.
Qin An stood in front of Su Yan, with a tall figure and a cold expression, which was a bit scary.
"If you do it again, I'll break your hands." After saying that, he glanced back and turned back when he saw that the woman had not been caught.
Su Yan looked at the tall and strong figure in front of her and was slightly stunned. She probably never thought that Qin An would come to help her regardless of her foot pain.
Reacting quickly, she went into the courtyard to get a stick and handed it to Qin An to wield.
Qin An took it, looked down at her slightly, and warned: "Stand behind me."
Then he stared coldly at the Huang family and asked, "Is there anyone in my family who is bullying me?"
The Huang family dared to scold and fight with Widow Li, but they would never dare to do this to Qin An. The two of them shrank their necks and stopped talking.
The village chief hurried over and said angrily: "What are you making trouble again? You are making trouble again after the work is done. Can the Qin family calm down?"
Su Yan knew that the village chief hated them and she was too lazy to care about them, but she would not swallow his anger.
If you endure it this time, there will be a next time.
"Has the village chief's mind gone astray? Both families are here, why are you just talking about us?"
"Don't be a village chief if you can't handle a bowl of water fairly. If you want to be a village chief, be fair and just."
The village chief looked ugly, and everyone else became quiet. I have probably never seen anyone speak to the village chief in such a tone.
Widow Li is too fierce.
Also, with a man like Qin An, no one in the village would dare to mess with her.
Then Su Yan told the whole story, raising her voice and saying: "The Huang family placed animal traps in the mountains, regardless of the comfort of the villagers. Brother Qin stepped on the animal trap yesterday and spent more than three taels of money."
"Fortunately, Brother Qin has been hunting all year round and is in good health. If anyone else in the village had been pinched, their legs would have been broken."
"If the village chief doesn't care about this, I will buy a hundred and eighty of them tomorrow and put them in the mountains, and I won't tell you where to put them. Anyway, whoever gets caught will deserve it!"
To deal with these shameless people, we must use shameless methods.
Upon hearing this, the village chief looked very unhappy, but Su Yan didn't say anything. He glared at the Huang family and said, "Didn't I say that? Animal traps are not allowed to be placed outside the mountains. People in the village have to go up the mountains to collect firewood.
!”
When Huang Liang heard that Qin An's leg was pinched and cost more than three taels, his expression changed and he refused to admit it: "We didn't let him go!"
Su Yan knew that they would not admit it when they mentioned the medical expenses. She picked up the animal trap and showed it to others, "I just said that the animal trap was engraved with yellow characters, but now I don't admit it? So many people have heard it, and still
Are the words on this animal trap carved by ghosts?"
Seeing that the woman didn't look timid at all, Qin An was slightly stunned, regained consciousness and moved a little closer to her.
If someone makes a move, he can block it immediately.
Goudan's mother quickly echoed: "I heard it. Just now the Huang family asked the Qin family for rabbits."
The others didn't say anything, this one just wanted to watch the fun, after all, they didn't want to see the Qin family well.
Su Yan was not afraid that they would remain silent, "There is another animal trap in the mountain. Whoever steps on it will deserve it. You don't know which banyan tree it is under."
"When the time comes, the money for medicine will be given in a few taels. I'll see who can afford it."
"If we don't urge them to find it together, how can you safely go to the mountain to collect firewood?"
