“She is indeed young,” Grandma Jiang replied with a smile, “only two or three years older than my Yaya.”

Village Chief Jiang was speechless after hearing this. He coughed awkwardly twice and changed the subject, "Now that we've finished talking about business, if you don't mind, please come inside and have a couple of cups of hot tea."

“We appreciate Uncle Village Chief’s kindness,” Jiang Nuan said, “but this matter is not over yet.”

“If our child hits someone, we apologize and pay the compensation. Now, it’s time to seek justice for ourselves.”

"What do you mean?" Village Chief Jiang's face turned somewhat awkward. "Sister-in-law, I don't quite understand what Ya Ya is saying."

"Don't rush," Grandma Jiang waved her hand, "Keep listening, Ya Ya will explain it clearly."

"Uncle Village Chief, now that we've let the matter of the beating be over, shouldn't we talk about the dog attack?"

"Letting the dog run wild?" Village Chief Jiang narrowed his eyes. "What do you mean, letting the dog run wild? Is there some misunderstanding?"

As he spoke, he looked Xiao Si and Xiao Pang up and down with a suspicious expression, "These two kids don't have a single wound on them, you don't mean..."

“I won’t go looking for trouble,” Jiang Nuan said with a smile, finishing what the village chief hadn’t finished saying. “Since I dare to say it, I naturally won’t speak carelessly.”

"Sister-in-law," Village Chief Jiang turned to Old Madam Jiang, "what do you think of this?"

“I have no objection. Ya Ya has her own ideas. This old woman is too old to manage things.”

"you……"

“Uncle Village Chief,” Jiang Nuan continued, “your child, because of this one punch, has had half the village’s dogs chasing three children. This is not something that can be resolved with a few words.”

"It's just a joke," Village Chief Jiang chuckled. "The kids are just playing around; they wouldn't actually unleash their dogs to bite people."

"What a joke!" Huang Xiaosi said angrily. "A bunch of dogs chased us from the center of the village all the way up the mountain. If we hadn't run fast, we would have been torn to pieces long ago."

“It’s not that serious,” Village Chief Jiang’s face turned cold. “You’re all perfectly fine now, without a single injury.”

“They weren’t injured because they ran fast,” Jiang Nuan retorted. “It’s not that your child or your dog showed mercy. From beginning to end, your child never intended to let them go; they just couldn’t catch up and had to give up.”

“That’s going too far,” Village Chief Jiang said, clearly displeased. “Is it really necessary to take children’s play so seriously?”

"If you weren't going to take it seriously, why would you have taken a tael of silver from our family?" Huang Xiaosi couldn't help but say.

That's an embarrassing statement.

For the first time, Village Chief Jiang felt that the money was burning his hands.

Before, I thought Jiang Nuan was more sensible than before, but now, I wish I could slap her twice across the face.

Not only was the apology insincere, but there was also so much scheming involved. Was it fun to play with him?

After a long silence, he spoke with a stern face, "I'll have my eldest son's wife return the money right now!"

“There’s no need,” Jiang Nuan refused. “Once it’s given, there’s no reason to take it back.”

"Then what do you want to do?" Village Chief Jiang asked, suppressing his anger, enunciating each word clearly.

"It's nothing, I just want justice," Jiang Nuan said calmly. "So many dogs chased the child around, and many people saw it. Even if Uncle Village Chief wanted to deny it, it wouldn't work."

"It was our fault for hitting people, we apologized and paid compensation. It was your Gangwa's fault for letting the dog attack, and you must also give an explanation."

"What explanation?" Village Chief Jiang stared at Jiang Nuan menacingly. "An apology and compensation?"

Well done, they actually managed to extort money from him!
