The three waited for a long time, but the courtyard gate still hadn't been opened. So, Jiang Dali and Jiang Dayong put their ears to the gate and listened carefully to the sounds coming from inside the courtyard.

Inside the courtyard, Grandma Jiang, Grandpa Jiang, and the others stopped what they were doing after hearing Jiang Dali's words.

The family of thirteen looked at each other, all thinking they were hallucinating.

Grandma Jiang's eyes widened, her mouth agape, as she stared blankly at Grandpa Jiang and asked in a low voice, "Old man, did I hear that right? Jiang Dali, Jiang Dayong, and Jiang Tietou have come to give us those seven and a half taels of silver?"

The three of them were terrified when they lost the bet that day, so why are they acting so strangely today, actually bringing the money over on their own initiative?

Old Man Jiang was also completely baffled. He stared blankly at Old Woman Jiang, "I, I, I don't know either?"

Hu stroked her chin with her right hand, her face mysterious, and said, "Something's not right, something's very wrong! They were knocking on our door early this morning, saying they were coming to deliver silver to us. Everyone in the village knows those three; they're the most shameless, cunning, and treacherous people. Unless the village chief uses the excuse of expelling them from the village, given their character, how could they possibly willingly and obediently deliver silver to our house in person?"

Judging from their current behavior, I don't believe they're not plotting something against the Jiang family!

"Oh no!" Uncle Jiang exclaimed in alarm, his eyes filled with worry. "Are they trying to sabotage Boss Bai's order so we can't deliver it on time?"

“Big brother is right, this is something only Uncle Tietou and his two companions could do,” Uncle Jiang said, his brows furrowed and his face full of worry.

Everyone says that troublemakers are the worst, but those three shameless troublemakers, Jiang Tietou, Jiang Dali, and Jiang Dayong, are even more troublesome.

A flash of anger crossed Jiang Xun's eyes. "I think they not only want to prevent us from delivering the goods on time, but they also want to steal our family's secret recipe for making mosquito coils."

A few days ago, Gou Dan told me that he often saw Jiang Daniu, Jiang Tiezhu, and a few others loitering around our house all day long, and every now and then they would peek over the wall.

Upon hearing this, Old Lady Jiang's face was filled with anger, her eyebrows furrowed, and she jumped up and down in rage. "They dare! Not only do they try to sabotage our business, but they also dare to steal our family's secret recipe! I'll kill them!"

After saying that, Grandma Jiang looked around and paced back and forth in the yard, muttering, "Where's the knife? Where's my sharp wood-chopping knife?"

Then, she rushed to the door of the main room with extremely light steps, grabbed the sharp wood-chopping knife leaning against the corner of the wall, and was about to rush towards the courtyard gate with a fierce aura.

She'll kill anyone who dares to steal the secret recipe for mosquito coils!

Those three scoundrels, all they do is cause trouble and plot evil schemes. Why doesn't God send a bolt of lightning to strike those three cancerous growths dead?!

She's so angry!

Jiang Wanwan hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Grandma Jiang's arm, "Grandma, calm down, don't get angry and hurt yourself. If you kill them with a knife, you'll go to jail. Don't be impulsive."

"So what if you go to jail? As long as we can keep our family's secret recipe, Grandma isn't afraid. Only by keeping the mosquito coil secret recipe can you live a good life."

"I don't want to live through those hard times again, and I will never let you continue to suffer from hunger. Today, even if it costs me my life, I will not let those three succeed!" Grandma Jiang said excitedly, her eyes bloodshot and glistening with tears.
