CHAPTER 208: CHAPTER 200: ODDBALL

"I want to eat chicken, give me that chicken too!"

Zhou Nana flipped out again; She had taken a fancy to the colorful feathers of the pheasant, perfect for making tassels.

Having been spoiled at home, Zhou Nana had always been used to getting whatever she wanted, and so she took it for granted.

In her eyes, asking for a chicken from a country person as a city dweller was a favor to the country person. Tian Shouhua should be grateful and willingly hand over the chicken.

Tian Shouhua frowned. As a grown man, it wasn’t right to bicker with a young girl, especially since this girl was a guest of Uncle Chunsheng’s family. But she was just so irritating – her arrogant demeanor just begged for a slap.

Liu Qiqi, seething with anger, was about to curse out loud when she was held back by Tian Sisi. Tian Sisi smiled reassuringly at Liu Qiqi, signaling her to calm down.

"Why should we give the chicken to you? You think your face is so big?"

Tian Sisi had long been annoyed by Zhou Nana as well, and she wasn’t so timid. Being the youngest there, even if she spoke harshly, they couldn’t really say anything.

"You country bumpkin, me eating your chicken is honoring you, don’t be ungrateful when given face!"

Zhou Nana immediately jumped up, hands on hips, and cursed back. Her voice was particularly shrill, grating on everyone’s ears, causing everyone’s brows to furrow.

"Wow, so you’re a big deal from the city! Then why should a city person like you want to eat chicken from us country bumpkins? You are standing on country folks’ land right now, and you eat the rice and vegetables grown by country people. If you are so proud, then don’t eat it!"

Tian Sisi wasn’t afraid of quarreling at all. She retorted with her barely understandable Shanghai dialect, rapid-fire and without taking a breath, causing Hu Weixin, Liu Qiqi, and the others to laugh ceaselessly – especially Liu Qiqi, who was delighted to see Zhou Nana gasping with anger.

"Zhou Nana, even the clothes on your body are grown by country people. If you’re so proud, strip them all off."

Liu Qiqi fanned the flames, and Hu Weixin and the others couldn’t hold back any longer, bursting into loud laughter. Even Tian Ping’an and Tian Pingxiu were snickering.

Xiao Mi’s face turned red with embarrassment. She truly regretted listening to her mother and second aunt, bringing her troublemaking cousin along, and embarrassing herself all the way to Granny’s house. She didn’t even want to think about how her sister-in-law’s family would see her sister.

"I’m sorry, I’ll take her back right now."

Mo Xiaomi uttered an apology to Tian Shouhua and grabbed Zhou Nana to take her back. But Zhou Nana, who had been provoked by Tian Sisi and the others to this point, lost all her senses, shaking off Mo Xiaomi, and made a mad dash towards Tian Sisi.

"I’ll beat you to death, little devil!"

You’d think Zhou Nana would detest Liu Qiqi the most, so why did she only go after Tian Sisi?

It turns out that Zhou Nana was extremely jealous and wouldn’t tolerate anyone dressing better than her, nor looking more beautiful than her. The moment she saw Tian Sisi who was prettier and dressed more fashionably than her, the flames of jealousy in her heart blazed fiercely.

Tian Shouhua and the others were taken aback, wondering how this girl could suddenly go crazy. Tian Ping’an and Tian Pingxiu were also anxious; if Tian Sisi were to be attacked by that madwoman Zhou Nana, the situation would escalate. Who in the village didn’t know how precious Sisi was to her family, and Zhong Yuying had yet to recover from her downfall!

Several people rushed toward Zhou Nana with the same intention; to restrain her. Mo Xiaomi was stunned too, she had never expected her cousin to have such a nature, completely like a lunatic!

Tian Sisi was not afraid of Zhou Nana at all. She had eaten well and grown taller recently, and her strength had increased. If a fight really broke out, Zhou Nana might not even be a match for her!

Feeling an inexplicable excitement, Tian Sisi really wanted to shout, "Everyone stand back, let me take on this Zhou Nana!"

However, what she actually said was, "Brother Shouhua, don’t worry, watch how I beat her until she’s crawling on the ground!"

After she spoke, Tian Sisi grabbed two handfuls of snow from the ground and threw them at Zhou Nana’s face. Zhou Nana, blinded by the snowflakes, paused for a moment and frantically wiped her eyes. Seizing the opportunity, Tian Sisi pounced with a loud "roar!"

There was no suspense in the outcome; within a minute, Tian Sisi had Zhou Nana on the ground. She straddled Zhou Nana’s back, twisting her hands behind her, and Tian Qinghua tied Zhou Nana’s hands and feet with a straw rope he twisted from dry grass.

Zhou Nana struggled constantly, but Tian Qinghua’s technique of binding was learned from the Old Man—specifically for tying prisoners of war; the more she struggled, the tighter it became.

No one had expected Tian Sisi to be so formidable in combat; she had floored the tall and strong Zhou Nana even before they came to blows. Seeing Zhou Nana in a sorry state on the snow, everyone couldn’t help but laugh inappropriately.

Tian Ping’an and Tian Pingxiu also breathed a sigh of relief. As for Zhou Nana on the ground, they couldn’t care less about her. How could their kind eldest sister-in-law have such an uncouth cousin? They wondered if all her relatives were like this and concluded that they should advise their parents (Uncle and Aunt) to reduce contact with their sister-in-law’s family in the future.

"You bunch of country folk, let me go! If my Daddy and Mama find out, you’ll be in trouble!" Zhou Nana was still unaware of her plight and continued to be haughty.

Mo Xiaomi initially wanted to step forward and speak on behalf of her cousin, but she became so angry after hearing Zhou Nana’s remarks that she stopped in her tracks, no longer bothering with her cousin.

Tian Sisi picked up a ball of snow from the ground and stuffed it into the mouth of the shouting Zhou Nana. Seeing that she could no longer make a sound, Sisi smiled contentedly.

"Wow, you think you’re superior because you’re from the city, huh! Your father is just a boiler worker, and your mother is just a worker in a collective enterprise, what’s so great about that?"

Tian Sisi spilled the gossip she heard from Liu Qiqi. Hu Weixin let out a weird cry, "So he’s a boiler worker! I thought her father was the mayor of Shanghai; she acts like her nose is in the sky!"

"If the mayor of Shanghai had a daughter like her, he wouldn’t be able to keep his position!" Tian Sisi laughed along with Hu Weixin, squatting down and patting the stunned Zhou Nana’s cheeks.

"This disdain for country folks, are you trying to incite disunity with us farmers?"

Strike the snake in its vital spot; Tian Sisi couldn’t be bothered to waste more time on the brainless Zhou Nana, and with one sentence, she scared Zhou Nana half to death, who then shrunk down and dared not move a muscle on the ground.

Of course, Tian Ping’an and his sister knew that Tian Sisi was just intimidating Zhou Nana, but Mo Xiaomi didn’t know that. She was so frightened she turned pale, thinking this serious accusation could implicate her entire family. She decided there and then to tell her mother to reduce their interactions with her second aunt’s family in the future.
