After saying that, he left like a gust of wind, without even paying attention to Jiang Nuan's reaction.

As she left, she kept thinking to herself: If she hadn't been so distressed, she would have already started stewing the meat, and Dashan would be drinking meat soup by now.

As soon as Sister-in-law Huang left, Madam Xie immediately came over and asked in a low voice, "Mother, did my cousin's wife hit my cousin?"

Upon hearing the news, she was so shocked that she almost dropped the baby girl in her arms to the ground.

Ordinary women, if they're feeling down, might scratch themselves a bit, but this woman actually beat someone so badly they had to see a doctor.

She had lived for almost twenty years and this was the first time she had ever seen anything like it.

What a fierce woman!

"Don't spread this around," Jiang Nuan nodded gently. "This isn't a good thing. It's fine for our family to know, but don't let it get out."

Her daughter-in-law has an exceptionally strong ability to gossip. If I didn't warn her, given her attitude towards the old house, the rumors might actually get out.

In this kind of situation, Qin's reputation is ruined, and her nephew won't fare much better. A man who can't even beat his own wife won't be understood by others for his tolerance of his wife; they'll only think he's weak and incompetent.

"Don't worry, Mother," Madam Xie smiled softly, "I know what's important."

Even if she doesn't get along with the old house, she wouldn't do something that doesn't bring her any benefit.

No matter what, they are still family. If the old house has a bad reputation, their second branch of the family will also be implicated.

With Qin Shi gone, the Huang family lived a very peaceful life.

After inspecting the official road, without taking a break, Huangjiakou immediately began a flurry of activity.

The oxcarts kept transporting bricks and tiles, the men kept carrying timber, and even the women and children were tidying up the soil and moving bricks. Everyone had a flushed face and was full of energy.

At the Huang family residence, Jiang Nuan looked at the group of people who had suddenly appeared, her expression somewhat surprised.

"What brings you here?"

These people who were sold by the Jin family have been like invisible people ever since they were settled in Huangjiakou. They can't be found anywhere. If they hadn't suddenly reappeared, she would have forgotten about them.

“Madam Jiang,” the leading woman spoke up, “we would also like to help, is that alright?”

"You want to help?" Jiang Nuan nodded. "Sure, I'll pay you for your work."

It's good for them to have more income.

“No,” the woman said hesitantly, “we don’t want money, we just want to help.”

"No money?" Jiang Nuan raised an eyebrow, lost in thought. "Let me think about it and give you an answer later, okay?"

"Then let's go back and wait for news."

After the woman finished speaking, she bowed again, and the group left the Huang family.

"Mother," Huang Lao Er said, puzzled, "isn't it good that they're helping?"

“I don’t want to take advantage of you for nothing,” Madam Xie said. “Besides, this matter isn’t that simple.”

"There's more to this than meets the eye?" Old Huang's mouth dropped open. "Wife, don't assume everyone is a bad person, okay?"

He thought these people seemed quite decent.

“This matter is indeed not that simple,” Jiang Nuan shook her head and said, “The specifics depend on how Yingying’s father plans to settle these people.”

Upon hearing this, Huang Lao Er rested his chin on his hand and said, "Speaking of which, Manager Jin hasn't come for a long time. That's strange."

I used to visit every day, but now that I haven't seen you for so long, I really miss you.

“It should be soon,” Jiang Nuan said thoughtfully. “There should be some news in the next couple of days.”

"Really?" Mrs. Jin exclaimed excitedly, "Father really is coming?"

Yes, it will!

Jiang Nuan didn't believe that these people would do this without someone instructing them.
