"What are you doing?" Someone actually dared to compete with her for business, and Wang was filled with rage.
"You all stay here; I'm going to check it out." She rolled up her sleeves and rushed in that direction.
Her urgent demeanor didn't look like she was about to fight; it seemed more like she was determined to confront them.
Moments later, Wang stood with her hands on her hips at the competitor's stall: "Everyone get out of my way!"
Her fierce shout startled everyone, causing them to retreat in a flurry.
Suddenly, two vendors selling mooncakes appeared in front of Wang, and both sides were momentarily stunned.
Wang's anger flared even more when she saw the people in front of her. A man and a woman stood behind a table about a meter high, covered with various mooncakes.
However, that wasn't the main point; the main point was that the two competitors were familiar faces—Zhang Erdan and Tian from Village.
"Well, well, you two shameless ones! How dare you steal my methods? Did you learn from me and still have the audacity to sell?" Wang strode forward confidently.
The crowd barely had time to react as she suddenly flipped over Zhang Erdan's stall. That wasn't enough; she stomped on it several times out of frustration.
Three seconds later, Tian lunged forward: "Give me back my mooncakes!" Her sharp voice sent customers and onlookers scattering, fleeing to a place where the high-pitched noise couldn't reach them.
At that moment, Tian felt utterly devastated—not just because of the lost money but also due to the destruction of her hard work.
For someone like her, who preferred leisure over labor, it was infuriating to see her efforts ruined after finally putting in some work.
Not known for being industrious, Tian clawed at Wang's face with her long nails like a cat.
A fierce battle erupted between the two Villager Women, with Tian grabbing Wang's face while Wang tugged at her hair. You pinch me, I kick you.
The onlookers were stunned; who had ever seen such a brutal fight?
Living in the town, even if relationships were strained or problems existed, the most that would happen was a shouting match. It was rare to witness such a disregard for image in a physical altercation.
Blood streamed from their faces, unable to be contained.
Nearby, Zhang Erdan saw what was happening and realized the severity of the situation. His wife was being bullied right in front of him. Not being a paragon of virtue himself, he rolled up his sleeves and stepped in to help.
With the addition of a big man, Wang quickly found herself at a disadvantage, covered in injuries.
She secretly regretted not bringing someone along when she came earlier.
Finally managing to break free from the couple's entanglement, Wang fled like a defeated rooster, but not without shouting, "You all wait for me!" Never having suffered such a loss before, she felt an intense frustration boiling inside her.
In her disheveled state, with bruises and torn clothes—one hole here and another there—she looked utterly miserable.
Wang limped back home, and Liu Eldest rushed forward. "Mother, what happened to you?" Her pitiful appearance made it hard for him to look at her; just thinking about it caused him pain.
"You need to hurry and get revenge for me! That Zhang Erdan and Tian—they both ganged up on me! Go now!" Wang grabbed Liu Eldest's hand and tried to pull him toward them.
However, the man who had just been so determined suddenly shrank back. "Why should I? What for?" It hurt too much; he wasn't going to go.
Liu Eldest was becoming more and more cowardly.
Unable to move, Wang's body ached painfully. Suddenly, her gaze fell on her tall and strong son: "Qing Shu, go help your mother take revenge."
Eighteen or nineteen years old, Fellow was full of vigor. His mother had been bullied; how could he not seek revenge? He replied in a naive tone, "Mother, who is selling over there? Should I go?"
Wang rolled her eyes: "Who else could it be? It's that shameless little wretch Tian and that good-for-nothing Zhang Erdan. Go quickly and beat them up hard."
Otherwise, how could this anger be vented?
Suddenly, Liu Qingshu, who had just been eager to step forward, hesitated. What was it again? Zhang Erdan and Tian? Liu Qingshu suddenly felt less justified.
Sister Hua's delicate figure, slender waist, rosy lips, and the indescribable joy they shared in the woods yesterday...
He had promised to propose soon; he couldn't wait. Once he entered his own home, he wouldn't have to feel like a thief every time.
In this sense, Zhang Erdan and Tian were technically his future father-in-law and mother-in-law. With a few more doses of courage, he wouldn't dare confront them. Did he still want to marry their daughter?
Wang was furious inside; how could she rely on these useless sons? "What good are you two cowards? Your own woman, your own mother has been beaten, and you just stand there watching."
Hiss! Wang took a sharp breath. After all that shouting earlier, her mouth had finally stopped bleeding but was now torn open again, blood oozing out drop by drop.
"Who am I working so hard for? Isn't it for you?" A wave of desolation surged within her.
There was no longer any thought of continuing to sell herself. Wang limped away: "I won't care anymore."
Liu Eldest and Liu Qingshu were left behind, two rough old men who couldn't shout or lower their prices. They sold the mooncakes, but in the end, they didn't make much money.
At this moment, Liu Qingxi had no idea about the exciting events happening in the town. The foundation had been prepared with the joint efforts of five or six kids, and soon the Mid-Autumn Festival would be upon them.
Coinciding with this reunion festival, it was a good time to give the big kid a break so everyone could rest well.
Since she hadn't entered the town, she couldn't appreciate such a satisfying scene. Without having to lift a finger, those shallow-minded people would not benefit at all.
If it were just the Wang family, it would have been fine. However, suddenly an unreasonable Tian appeared, and things escalated.
The saying "a greedy heart can swallow an elephant" applied here; the personalities of Wang and Tian could never coexist peacefully. The first time Wang suffered losses, they learned to be smarter afterward, ensuring that Liu Eldest and Liu Qingshu were always by their side.
Aside from that, the competition between the two families officially began.
As long as Tian came into town to sell mooncakes, Wang would inevitably try to block them. If they couldn't stop them, they would just wave a basket full of mooncakes in front of their stall.
It was clear that they were competing for business. Tian was even more shameless, going over to Wang's place and disparaging them:
"You probably don't know, but they're not from Ten Li Pu; they're just taken in by the big kid. Also, that woman is filthy and unhygienic; who knows if she just came out of the restroom without washing her hands before making mooncakes."
Tian laughed at this, feeling quite clever for coming up with such an opportunity.
Ugh~~~~ Those who had eaten Wang's mooncakes couldn't help but gag; it was truly disgusting to think about how what they had eaten came from such conditions.
