Chapter 7 Wang Tieniu Steals a Tiger
"You two didn't sneak any food, did you?"

Su Xiaoxiao was joking with them, but the two children quickly waved their hands in denial.

"No, we didn't steal any food!"

After Su Xiaoxiao opened the pot lid, she saw that the tiger meat in the pot was almost cooked, so she put in the salt she had obtained.

After simmering for a few more minutes, the tiger meat was scooped out and filled into bowls in front of the two children.

The two children couldn't wait to pick up their rice bowls and start eating heartily, enjoying their meal immensely.

Su Xiaoxiao couldn't resist any longer. She picked up the bowl in front of her and started eating the tiger meat. It was a bit sour and not as fragrant as chicken or duck, but it was all lean meat and could replenish qi and nourish the body.

"Wow, it smells delicious!"

Just as they were enjoying their meal, a sound came from the courtyard.

Is Xiaoxiao home?

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao recognized Granny Wang's voice and thought to herself that she was truly an uninvited guest. People are most averse to having someone come over when they are having a good meal.

But there was nothing I could do; they're neighbors, and I had just borrowed some salt from them.

Su Xiaoxiao quickly opened the door and saw Granny Wang sniffing hard in their yard. Behind her was a dark-skinned, burly man, her eldest son, Wang Tieniu.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled awkwardly, "Grandma Wang, what brings you here?"

"Oh, I was just thinking that my eldest son picked some wild chili peppers on the mountain today, so I brought them back to you!"

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao realized that it was all for this little thing.

Just as they were about to say something polite, Wang Tieniu suddenly pointed to the tiger skin and tiger bones piled up in the corner of Su Xiaoxiao's house.

"Mother, they've killed a tiger!"

Grandma Wang rushed into Su Xiaoxiao's kitchen, lifted the pot lid, and exclaimed, "It really is tiger meat..."

The two children were so frightened that they dared not eat anymore.

Su Xiaoxiao frowned, thinking to herself, "Doesn't this Granny Wang have any sense of propriety? She just barged into someone's house and brazenly lifted the lid off their pot to look inside."

Even if I borrowed salt from your family just now, I'll pay you back three times the amount later.

Thinking of this, Su Xiaoxiao's face turned cold.

"Grandma Wang, is there anything I can help you with?"

Grandma Wang felt a chill. She hadn't expected Su Xiaoxiao to speak like that, and she was speechless for a moment. However, her son, Wang Tieniu, came over with a gloomy face and pointed to the tiger skin in the corner of the wall, saying, "Did you kill that tiger?"

Su Xiaoxiao didn't hide anything and nodded, saying, "Yes, what's wrong?"

Wang Tieniu walked over and turned the tiger skin over, searching carefully. Finally, he found a scar on one of the tiger skin's hind legs.

"Look at this leg, that's where the trap I set got you caught in the iron clamp!"

“This tiger should have belonged to me; you’re stealing someone else’s prey.”

As Wang Tieniu was speaking, he tried to snatch the tiger skin and tiger bones away, but Su Xiaoxiao stepped forward to stop him.

"do not move!"

"Look, this tiger has other wounds on its body. The wound on its eyes and the most fatal one on its belly were all inflicted by me!"

Wang Tieniu glared with his triangular eyes, "If I hadn't set a trap and broken one of its legs, when would it have been your turn to kill this tiger?"

Grandma Wang quickly came over to speak up for her son, "Alright, alright, stop arguing! I think this is fine, the tiger meat is yours, and the tiger skin and bones are ours!"

Grandma Wang came over and helped her son put the tiger skin and tiger bones into a bag, preparing to carry it away.

Su Xiaoxiao had never encountered such an unreasonable family before.

"I risked my life to kill the tiger, otherwise the three of us would have died on the mountain. When did it become yours?" The mother and daughter tried to leave with the bag containing the tiger skin. Su Xiaoxiao had no choice but to close their door behind them. She shouldn't have tried to reason with them; sometimes, a fist is more effective than reason!
Su Xiaoxiao got into a fighting stance, and Wang Tieniu looked at her and said, "What's going on? Are you planning to fight me?"

"You little widow, I think you've got some nerve, you're overestimating yourself!"

Perhaps wanting to bolster his own morale, Wang Tieniu suddenly raised his leg and kicked over the broken dining table in Su Xiaoxiao's house.

The rice pot containing the tiger meat, along with the bowls and chopsticks, that were on the table were all smashed to pieces on the ground.

The two children were so frightened that they screamed.

"Go inside quickly!"

Da Bao pulled Xiao Bao into the inner room and closed the door tightly.

"You're dreaming if you think you can take my things!"

Seeing that she didn't have any useful tools around her, Su Xiaoxiao picked up a fire poker next to her, weighed it in her hand, and thought it was enough. It was better than having no weapon at all.

Wang Tieniu didn't take Su Xiaoxiao seriously. He swung his fist at Su Xiaoxiao's face. The fist whistled through the air, and if it hit Su Xiaoxiao's face, it would break her facial bones. This was no joke.

Su Xiaoxiao dodged to the side, avoiding the incoming fist, and then swung the fire poker in her hand in a circle, smashing it down on the back of Wang Tieniu's head.

"Son, be careful!"

Grandma Wang watched from the sidelines as Su Xiaoxiao's fire poker was about to hit her son on the back of the head, and she shouted loudly.

But it was too late to dodge. Su Xiaoxiao was incredibly fast. Wang Tieniu could only try his best to sway his body to the side, but the stick hit his right arm. He cried out in pain and then crashed into the wall.

Wang Tieniu clutched his injured arm, sweating profusely from the pain. "Damn woman, do you have a death wish?"

"What, I've had enough of living, do you still want to come?"

Su Xiaoxiao held the fire poker in her hand, as if to say, "Do you still want to try?"

"I……"

Although Wang Tieniu didn't know martial arts, he could tell that the woman in front of him was no ordinary woman.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the mess on the ground. She and the children were just about to eat meat when this guy smashed their eating utensils to pieces.

An angry Su Xiaoxiao walked up to Wang Tieniu and swung her fist at his face.

"You're not happy, are you? You dare to smash our dishes and try to steal our things? I'll make sure you lie in bed for a few more months!"

Su Xiaoxiao was fighting hard, and Granny Wang tried to come over to break it up, but Su Xiaoxiao turned around and stopped her with a look, scaring her so much that she stood still and didn't dare to move.

"Hey, stop hitting me! I won't take your things anymore!"

Wang Tieniu squatted in the corner, covering his head and begging for mercy.

Su Xiaoxiao stopped fighting, and Wang Tieniu looked at her in fear, "Heroine, spare my life! I'll leave right now!"

"It's not that easy. How do we handle the broken dishes and chopsticks?"

"This……"

Seeing that Wang Tieniu hesitated, Su Xiaoxiao stepped forward and kicked him in the thigh.

Wang Tieniu screamed in pain.

He called out to his mother, "Mother..."

We'll compensate you!

Granny Wang quickly took out two coins from her pocket and handed them to Su Xiaoxiao with trembling hands.
