"What are you doing? Are you looking for me?" Liu Qingxi coldly stared at the group of unfriendly individuals.
There wasn't a familiar face among the many in front of her, leaving her completely puzzled, though she wouldn't show it on her face.
"Huh?" The few young men knocking on the door were also confused; this was not what they had imagined.
The girl before them looked about thirteen or fourteen years old, with two large braids, dressed in a gray coarse cloth cross-collar top and slightly loose pants, her face showing a hint of fatigue.
Where was the middle-aged woman they had expected? Where was that detestable face of Wang's?
"Are you the owner of this place?"
"Yes, what's the matter? Why are you looking for me?"
"Is there no adult in your family? Are you in charge here?"
"Yes!" Liu Qingxi was increasingly puzzled. Her social circle was limited to Ten Li Pu, and she didn't have much contact with outsiders. What was going on with their aggressive approach?
Unbeknownst to her, the woman who had given directions had caused a huge misunderstanding due to her fame in the village.
"This isn't right! Are you from the Liu Family that builds houses?"
"Yes, I do build houses, but I haven't taken any jobs for the past half month. If you need something, you'll have to wait until spring!"
"But..." The young man's face turned bright red; he couldn't bring himself to speak harshly to such a delicate girl.
"Our village's houses are built by the Liu Family. Last night there was a strong wind, and this morning when we woke up, the houses were almost collapsing. Thankfully no one was inside; we just saved a few lives."
The young man was also confused. A girl named Liu who could build houses in Ten Li Pu? Wasn't that similar to someone from Sanhe Village who built houses?
"What on earth is going on?"
Liu Qingxi: ""
She completely understood where the problem lay, with the words of the Qin Family echoing in her mind. This group of people in front of her was very likely, no, definitely the Wang family's construction workers.
Now that something had happened, what had occurred during this time that led them to find her?
Liu Qingxi was not a saint. The arrogant and oppressive demeanor of the Wang family flashed before her eyes, and even the warmth left by her family could not offset their wickedness.
"Heh heh! Wang family, is this your just desserts, or is it your just desserts, or is it your just desserts?"
"I have no sympathy, no sympathy, or no sympathy?"
Well, it seems that we hadn't realized before that Qingxi had such a dark side. Not bad!
She maintained a calm expression while stating the facts: "Then you can be sure that I am not involved; I am currently only renovating Ten Li Pu!"
"Huh? Are there other Liu Family members?" The girl's words did not seem like a lie; they wouldn't deliberately make things difficult for her.
"Yes, at the far east. You’ve gone the wrong way. There’s a cave over there, near the foot of the mountain, close to that new house. You can go there!"
Having given away the Liu Family address without any psychological burden, Liu Qingxi felt no guilt. On the contrary, if it weren't for other matters, she would definitely go to watch.
A few big men felt quite awkward, and it was Village Head Liu who spoke up: "That young lady, sorry about this; we’ll head over now. Sorry for bothering you!"
He exchanged glances with the others, urging them to leave quickly.
"Goodbye, you've got the wrong person!"
"But wasn't that Aunt just referring to this one Liu Family renovating houses? I was wondering why that Aunt was a girl?"
"Forget it; Liu Dogdan probably got tricked!" Village Head Liu took another puff from his pipe.
The situation they encountered this time was anything but trivial. Even though there weren't many people at Zhang Dogdan's home, there were still several family members. With winter approaching, what were they going to do?
They never expected that someone would impersonate them with the skills of house renovation; it truly took a lot of nerve.
The wind grew stronger, but the people of Sanhe Village hurried along, their frustration causing them to sweat profusely, unable to release their pent-up emotions, making it a particularly suffocating moment.
When the door of Liu Family's New Residence was knocked on, Wang began counting money for the second time that day, her laughter echoing with a shrillness that was quite irritating.
The one who opened the door was from the Jiang Clan, dressed in bright red new clothes, exuding confidence that only made her dark complexion appear even darker; it looked odd no matter how you viewed it.
The taste of the two sisters-in-law from Liu Family's First Branch Second House was indeed peculiar.
"Who is it? What do you want? Knocking so urgently, are you here to collect a debt?" she complained while twisting her waist and opening the door with an exaggerated gesture.
What greeted her was a sea of dark figures: "What are you all doing?"
"Is this Liu Family? Call out your head of the household; we have business!" A burly man spoke gruffly, ignoring the woman's annoying tone and maintaining a stern expression.
"What? Looking for my husband? What’s this about? I don’t know anything!" The Jiang Clan woman feigned a delicate demeanor but her sharp voice was increasingly grating.
The people outside were at a loss for words; come on, at their age, didn’t she find it embarrassing to act like a young girl?
Suddenly, a voice rang out: "Village Chief, that's right, it's this family! I've seen this woman; she helped others in our village with house repairs!"
This revelation stirred up a wave of outrage; it turned out this family was the true source of trouble. Without waiting for the village chief's orders, the villagers from Sanhe Village surged forward.
With a loud bang, Jiang Clan was pushed back against the door and collided with the uneven wall behind her. The rough surface caused her waist to ache painfully as she let out a sharp scream.
The man closest to her jumped in fright, goosebumps rising all over his body.
If Jiang Clan still didn't realize that these visitors meant trouble at this moment, then she would truly be foolish!
She opened her mouth and shouted loudly, "Brother, Sister-in-law, the head of the family, come out quickly! Someone has broken into our home looking for trouble!"
"What?" Wang hurriedly slid off the bed. Looking for trouble? Who is so bold?
No, first hide the money!
The sound of clattering echoed again as she hurriedly stuffed the Copper Coins back into the bag. There was no time to hide them properly, so she quickly shoved them into the farthest corner under the bed.
Brushing off the dust from her clothes, Wang calmly walked out and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Who is it? How dare you break into our home? What do you want?"
With a creak, the door opened, and a group of strong men made her swallow the rest of her words in fright.
She saw a familiar figure slowly approaching. "Village Chief, that's right! It's her who built my house!"
Liu Goudan, honest and simple, had red-rimmed eyes. Seeing Wang made him wish he could tear her apart.
Wang squinted disdainfully at him. Not recognizing him at first, she took a closer look and realized it was Liu Goudan. "Oh? What do you want from my family? Did you come to introduce me to another job?"
"You’re talking nonsense! You can't build houses at all!"
Being questioned about her abilities by her very first client made Wang explode like an angry rooster. She nearly jumped up in indignation. "Why can't I? Didn't I help you fix your house?"
