"You must be joking. It's not as if this back mountain belongs to my family. Does it mean that if I say something is mine, then it's mine?" Qiao Mei said with a smile.
There were many mountains near the village. Among them, there was a big mountain behind Qiao Mei's house. Usually, the villagers would not walk around near her house. Although there was no rule about who owned the mountain, everyone had a tacit understanding.
With one's home as the center point, the mountain area within the radius of one kilometer was considered one's private territory. No one else would go near it when picking wild vegetables and mushrooms.
Otherwise, anyone could enter someone else's house and even secretly hide on the mountain to peep at their private life. That would be breaking the law!
