What the heck?

The old lady's words were truly eye-opening for Jiang Nuan.

How could things possibly be done this way?

After hesitating for a while, Jiang Nuan blushed and explained, "Auntie, I'm not that kind of person."

"You've done this kind of thing countless times?" The old lady gave Jiang Nuan a cold look. "This old woman is getting on in years and her spirits aren't very good. I'm going back to my room first. You two can do as you please."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nuan was stunned.

Looking at Sister-in-law Huang with a wronged expression, she asked weakly, "Sister-in-law, what should we do now?"

"What else can we do?" Sister-in-law Huang sighed. "Let's leave first and see what other places are like."

Seeing Jiang Nuan looking aggrieved, Sister-in-law Huang comforted her, "Don't worry, you won't be wronged this time."

"I hope so."

After being discouraged by the old lady, Jiang Nuan lost her previous optimism.

She sensed the deep malice Huangjiakou harbored towards her.

It wasn't just the infamous reputation of being utterly scorned, but also the deep-seated rejection and defensiveness.

So tired~

Jiang Nuan followed Sister-in-law Huang and stopped at the entrance of a small courtyard with two sections.

"Is Fourth Sister-in-law here?" Sister-in-law Huang called out. "I need to talk to you about something."

"Third Sister-in-law?" A cheerful voice came from the courtyard. "What is it?"

Do you have a lot of cabbages at home? Could you spare some for us?

“There’s plenty,” a woman with a sallow complexion said as she came out. “How much does Third Sister-in-law want? I’ll get it for you right away.”

As he spoke, he pushed open the door and was immediately stunned when he saw Jiang Nuan standing next to him.

Then, he asked indifferently, "Is there something you need, Fifth Sister-in-law?"

"Fourth sister-in-law," Sister-in-law Huang smiled, "Yaya wants to buy some cabbages, one coin per pound. How much can you spare?"

"Third Sister-in-law," the woman smiled apologetically, "I don't have many cabbages at home, I plan to eat them myself, so I won't sell them."

Although the price of one coin per kilogram was tempting, she didn't trust Jiang Nuan.

This person has terrible character; she doesn't want to associate with them.

"Oh," Sister-in-law Huang said casually, "I advised Yaya not to come to the village to collect taxes, but that girl is very stubborn. She said that the corvée labor was coming soon and she wanted to give the villagers some extra money."

"It's nothing, really nothing, it's no big deal. We can't even get cabbage for a penny a pound. Fourth sister-in-law, you keep going, we'll be going now."

"Wait a minute," the woman's eyes flickered, and she immediately changed her words, "Third Sister-in-law, I'll discuss it with my husband later, and I'll get back to you tomorrow, okay?"

“Sure, why not?” Sister-in-law Huang’s smile remained unchanged. “Fourth sister-in-law, you continue with your work, we’ll be going now.”

"Sister-in-law," Jiang Nuan said, already deflated after being turned away twice, "Which house should we go to?"

"I'm sorry you had to go through all this trouble," Sister-in-law Huang said, patting Jiang Nuan's hand tenderly. "Let's go to another place. If this one doesn't work, we'll go home and have Dad take charge himself."

“Hmm,” Jiang Nuan said sullenly, “If all else fails, we’ll think of other ways.”

She never expected to encounter such strong resistance.

well!

Once upon a time, she was a beloved fairy.

This time, the two stopped in front of a dilapidated thatched hut.

"Huang Ye's wife, are you home? Your aunt needs to talk to you." Sister-in-law Huang said yes, and explained in a low voice, "Huang Ye broke his leg on the mountain, and the family is struggling financially. They won't refuse such a good thing."

"I hope so," Jiang Nuan glanced at the dilapidated thatched hut, somewhat worried. "Sister-in-law, I have a feeling this house is going to collapse?"

“The house is indeed not very sturdy,” Sister-in-law Huang revealed the truth. “All their money went to Huang Ye’s leg treatment. They ran out of food, so how could they afford to repair the house?”
