Cai Damei is a person who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment. She is grateful to Xie Lanhua, but she will not let Li Nan off the hook.
What do you want?
"I don't want anything else, I just want Li Nan back. He owes you all, and I'll pay for it with my life." As Xie Lanhua finished speaking, she felt the obstruction disappear.
thump.
Xie Lanhua fell heavily to the ground, her whole body aching, but she didn't cry out. She got up and continued to kowtow forcefully.
"It's my fault. Please release Li Nan, it's all my fault..." He kowtowed repeatedly, his forehead soon bleeding, staining the ground red.
Ye Yunniang clenched her hands, trying to suppress the nausea that surged up from the sight of blood.
“I won’t pursue the matter with Li Nan,” Cai Damei said.
"Thank you, thank you..." Xie Lanhua kept saying thank you.
"Thank you, sister." Li Wenkuo, who was standing next to her, also expressed his gratitude.
“Village Chief, I’m letting Li Nan go for two reasons. First, to repay Xie Lanhua for helping Yunniang. Second, to repay you for helping us three. From now on, we’ll go our separate ways.” Cai Damei finished speaking and lowered the carriage curtain.
The carriage started moving again.
"Wait, if you release Li Nan, you have to release my man too!" Cai Hua rushed out and blocked the carriage.
"Get lost." Cai Damei was not polite at all to Cai Hua.
“Sister Cai, you must release my man. Otherwise, I’ll expose everything you’ve done.” Cai Hua threatened, uttering three words: “Xiao Beishan.”
"Go ahead and say it," Cai Damei said to Cai Hua's surprise, she didn't care at all.
"Aren't you afraid?" Cai Hua frowned as she looked at Cai Damei.
"What do I have to be afraid of?" Cai Damei asked with a smile, not taking Cai Hua's words to heart at all.
“Sister Cai, I’m not kidding. I clearly saw you with her that day,” Cai Hua paused deliberately, waiting for Sister Cai to back down.
"Seeing me being intimate with another man, hahaha..." Cai Damei laughed as she finished Cai Hua's sentence, "Cai Hua, my man died two years ago. I'm a widow now, is it abnormal for me to have a man?"
"This is immoral and disgraceful! Gentlemen, we cannot let them go! Arrest them! Today, the Li family will tie up this adulterous woman and drown her in a pig cage. Tell me, who is her lover?"
The withered old man standing behind the Li family villagers couldn't sit still any longer. Without needing the help of his younger relatives, he rushed out and started cursing at Cai Damei.
The villagers from the Li family behind the withered old man did not move at his words.
To this, Cai Damei simply rolled her eyes.
"I know who the adulterer is?" Tong Mo, who loved to stir up trouble, spoke up.
Who is it?
"My maternal uncle is the prefect of Jiangcheng."
"Let's go catch the adulterer?" The withered old man said, then realized something was wrong and looked at Tong Mo, "Who did you say it is?"
"The local official of Jiangcheng. His rank is two grades higher than your county magistrate," Tong Mo said, holding up two fingers.
"You know, you know the governor!" The withered old man's tone was full of disbelief as he turned his gaze to Cai Damei. How could this be?
Are the officials blind?
She might be attracted to a middle-aged widow who has lost her husband and is now raising her daughter-in-law and grandson.
What kind of taste?
What exactly are Cai Damei's abilities?
"You're lying!" Cai Hua shouted in disbelief.
"You're so smart, you guessed right. Too bad there's no reward." Tong Mo's teasing tone made not only the Li family villagers, but also Cai Damei and Ye Yunniang from the carriage want to hit him.
"Tong Mo, let's go." Cai Damei urged, not wanting to say any more.
"You're not allowed to leave." Cai Hua blocked her way again. "Unless you run over me, you won't be leaving Lijia Village today."
Tong Mo was not intimidated by this. He flicked his whip and directed the carriage to rush towards Cai Hua.
Cai Hua clenched her fists and gritted her teeth to keep herself from backing up. She didn't believe that the carriage would actually dare to hit her.
The horse drew closer and closer, so close that she could hear its breathing, and Cai Hua became frightened.
"Ah, don't run me over! I don't want to die!" Cai Hua shouted as she lunged to the side, dodging the carriage.
Cai Hua, who had fallen to the ground, watched the carriage pass by where she had been standing, her eyes filled with relief and lingering fear.
"Coward." Tong Mo snorted and directed the carriage to leave.
"Stop!" the withered old man shouted, then turned back and urged the villagers of Lijia Village to arrest the man.
No one took action.
Finally, Li Wenkuo stepped forward and persuaded the withered old man to stop.
As the carriage drove away, the villagers of Lijia Village felt that they would never see Cai Damei and her mother-in-law again in their lives.
After the carriage left, Ye Yunniang's biological father, stepmother, and stepsister came running over.
Where is Ye Yunniang?
Where is my sister?
"She really rode in a horse-drawn carriage?"
"Has Sister Cai struck it rich?"
...
Tian Fangmei and her two companions bombarded the group with questions, plotting how to get the money to buy a bigger house and marry a new wife.
The villagers of Lijia Village gave the three members of the Ye family a disgusted look and left.
"What kind of looks are you giving me?" Tian Fangmei was dissatisfied and went to find someone who was close to her, wanting to argue with them.
This is Cai Hua, who was frightened.
Cai Hua was furious that Cai Da Mei and Ye Yun Niang hadn't come to her aid. Then, upon hearing that Tian Fang Mei had said it was a member of the Ye family, she vented all her anger on Tian Fang Mei.
Cai Hua clenched her fist and punched Tian Fangmei.
Tian Fangmei was stunned by the punch. When she came to her senses, she let out a howl and charged at Cai Hua to fight her to the death.
Scratching, pinching, biting, scratching, nibbling... all sorts of moves were used.
When the Ye family father and son saw that their mother-in-law/own mother was being beaten, they wanted to go and help.
Cai Hua may not be a good person, but she is still from Lijia Village.
The villagers of Li's village cannot be bullied by outsiders, so they stopped the Ye family father and son, though their actions were somewhat rough.
The three members of the Ye family left Li Family Village, their faces bruised and swollen.
The three of them cursed Ye Yunniang all the way as they walked towards the town. As they crossed a small bridge, they suddenly slipped and tumbled off the bridge, falling heavily into the river.
The river wasn't deep, but the three of them still got quite a bit of a scare from the fall.
He struggled to climb onto the riverbank, soaking wet. He could only go home first, change his clothes, and then go to town to find Ye Yunniang.
They slipped and fell several times on the wet road, resulting in a broken arm for the Ye father and a broken leg for the son.
Tian Fangmei didn't have time to go find Ye Yunniang; she had to take care of Ye's father and son as they recovered from their injuries.
By the time they recovered from their injuries, Ye Yunniang had already left the town and her whereabouts were unknown.

Inside the carriage, Ye Yunniang would occasionally glance at Cai Damei, who was resting with her eyes closed.
"Ask whatever you want?" Cai Damei opened her eyes.
Ye Yunniang smiled awkwardly, unsure of how to ask.
“That man is Bao Min,” Cai Damei said first. No more hiding it; of course, some things that happened from the boat to the mountain had to be concealed.
"...That's how it is. Don't blame yourself, it has nothing to do with you." Cai Damei comforted Ye Yunniang after saying that.
After hearing the story, Ye Yunniang felt guilty and regretful, wishing she hadn't provoked Jiang Mingzhe.
"Mother, what are you thinking?"
"What I think is not important." From the very beginning, the decision-making power was not in Cai Damei's hands.
“No…we…we should leave Jiangcheng and live in a new city.” Ye Yunniang suggested leaving Jiangcheng and living in a city without Bao Min.
"Your uncle has taken a liking to your aunt; there's no escaping it."
