Jiang Tangtang rolled her eyes, not wanting to say a single punctuation mark to her.
Jiang Tangtang disliked wasting her breath and didn't want to waste any more words with her, but Lu Cuilan was completely unaware that she was being disliked.
She said earnestly, "Sanlang's wife, no matter how much you dislike your cousin, she is still your husband's cousin. You can't be petty and deliberately make your cousin suffer. You should go and talk to Doctor Li to get your cousin's eyes treated."
Even Old Man Lu couldn't stand these words.
This isn't an apology or a plea for help!
This guy is more likely to offend people and get yelled at.
Old Lu tapped his pipe and scolded, "Cuilan, I told you to apologize properly to Sanlang's wife, but instead of apologizing, what nonsense are you spouting?"
Lu Cuilan was a little dumbfounded by her older brother's scolding.
She, as an elder, had already lowered her voice to speak to a junior member of the Jiang family, what more did he want from her?
Is your brother looking down on her because she's in trouble? Is he being condescending?
Old Man Lu couldn't bear to see his relationship with his sister and family deteriorate further, so he personally went to Jiang Tangtang to speak on her behalf, "Sanlang's wife, don't hold it against your aunt. That's just how she is, not very bright, and she has a foul mouth."
Lu Cuilan's eyes widened, and she once again showed an expression of disbelief.
She didn't even know what her older brother was like.
Old Lu was not a talkative man and was like an invisible man at home most of the time, but in the past, he was the one who made the decisions on major family matters.
The key point is that he is not only a male chauvinist, but also has a deep-seated contempt for women.
Lu Cuilan knew all too well how dissatisfied she was with her daughter-in-law, Jiang Tangtang.
Although for some unknown reason, Jiang Tangtang's family's attitude towards her has changed recently.
But she always felt that her older brother hadn't changed at all.
But today, she actually saw her older brother humbly apologizing to Jiang Tangtang, a junior, which completely overturned her understanding of things from the past few decades. She couldn't understand why her older brother would be so subservient to a junior.
What Lu Cuilan didn't expect was that her elder brother, the patriarch of the Lu family, had humbled himself to apologize and say nice things to Jiang Tangtang, a junior, but she didn't appreciate it at all.
Jiang Tangtang raised an eyebrow, looking at Lu Cuilan. Her right hand pinched back and forth with a few fingers, seemingly intentionally, yet also seemingly unintentionally. "Father, I think that family is not only stupid and foul-mouthed, but also wicked. You'd better stay away from people like that, lest one day they harm the whole family and you regret it."
Lu Cuilan immediately jumped up and cursed, "Jiang, who are you cursing? Who are you calling stupid and wicked? You venomous woman, do you think you can sow discord between me and my brother from my maternal family with just a few words? Brother, quickly tell Sanlang to divorce this troublemaker."
Lu Cuilan felt that even if her elder brother didn't let his third nephew divorce his wife, he should at least scold her.
This is outrageous!
To her surprise, her older brother looked at her thoughtfully, as if he was seriously considering what Jiang Tangtang had said.
This made Lu Cuilan feel uneasy. Could her elder brother really be senile, still siding with the Jiang family even in this situation?
Just as she was thinking this, she saw Lu Laotu say with a stern face, "Cuilan, an elder should act like one. Look at you, where is the slightest bit of an elder's demeanor? Alright, hurry back."
"Big brother, no..." Lu Cuilan said anxiously, "What about my Peiru? You watched her grow up!"
Old Man Lu said irritably, "I told you to apologize to Sanlang's wife properly and beg her to help you find medicine on the mountain, but look at what you've done!"
Now that you've offended everyone, what can you do if you ask him what to do?
Old Man Lu had initially wanted to help her out of brotherly affection. However, after hearing Jiang Tangtang's words, he became frightened and truly didn't want to get involved with her anymore.
He cared more about his sons and the continuation of the Lu family line than about his sister.
"No..." Lu Cuilan looked puzzled and confused. "When did Sanlang's wife learn about herbs? I've never heard of them before?"
Fearing that Old Man Lu would side with his sister and reveal that his daughter-in-law had received divine guidance and could tell fortunes, Madam Su squeezed in front of Old Man Lu and said, "Why should I tell you what my daughter-in-law can do?"
"My third sister-in-law is not only beautiful and kind-hearted, but also smart and capable. What's so strange about her knowing about herbs?"
After eating the wild fruit that Lu Shiyan brought back, Luo Taohua now sees Jiang Tangtang as an absolute fairy. Not only does she speak highly of Jiang Tangtang, but she also subtly criticizes Fang Peiru with a pout.
"However, my third sister-in-law is too reserved. No matter how capable she is, she doesn't like to show off. Unlike some people, who act like they've passed the imperial examination as if they know a few words, wanting everyone within a ten-mile radius to know. They're so boastful."
Upon hearing Luo Taohua's words, the villagers who had been watching the commotion all turned to look at Jiang Tangtang.
They agreed that she was beautiful, but they couldn't agree that she was kind-hearted, smart, and capable.
The villagers all shook their heads; Luo Taohua was too good at blatantly lying. However, while everyone felt that Luo Taohua's praise of Jiang Tangtang was exaggerated, they all agreed with her implication of Fang Peiru.
After all, Fang Peiru, relying on being the only girl in the village who had attended school, often acted superior to the villagers, which annoyed many of them.
Even though she's gone blind from all that trouble, hardly anyone sympathizes with her.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Lu Cuilan was furious and was about to argue with Luo Taohua. But Old Man Lu scolded, "Alright, hurry back and pack your things, get ready to set off! We've been delayed for so long, it's time to get going."
As soon as they heard that they had to get going, everyone lost interest in watching the excitement and hurriedly started packing their luggage to prepare for their journey.
Li Shi came to Jiang Tangtang to inquire about his family.
Jiang Tangtang was extremely frustrated. The rules of the dog system changed three times a day, and now it insisted that she complete tasks before it would help her find people. At this moment, she had no idea where Li Shi's family was.
Although she was extremely frustrated, she put on a calm and collected demeanor, saying that she would find the person soon and that he shouldn't worry.
Because of Lu Shiyan's abilities, Li Shi now has more faith in Jiang Tangtang.
Upon hearing this, he did not threaten her as he had done before. Instead, he said to Jiang Tangtang, "If you can help me find my family, you will be a benefactor to my Li family. If you need anything from me, just say the word, and I, Li, will do my utmost, even unto death."
Jiang Tangtang had no interest in his declarations of loyalty. She needed to figure out how to improve her public image first, otherwise she wouldn't be able to keep up the charlatan act.
In an effort to enhance her public image, Jiang Tangtang not only made all sorts of bizarre requests along the way, but also insisted on going into the city to shop when they arrived in Yihe County.
