Chapter 293 Who to fight? Him?
Upon hearing this, Jiang Nuanzhi nodded to Xie Liangchen and said in a rare gentle tone, "Thank you."
We really have to thank Xie Liangchen today. If he hadn't happened to pass by and seen it, who knows what those bastards, Wang Mazi, would have done to Man'er.
In truth, Jiang Nuanzhi now regrets it somewhat; she should have planted all the corn in her backyard from the beginning. Now, her corn is being coveted.
The villagers initially didn't recognize what it was. But with harvest time approaching, the corn was at its tenderest, releasing a faint, sweet fragrance when peeled. Curious onlookers would approach to examine it, and the kernels would burst open when pinched, releasing a sweet aroma. For those who couldn't afford oily food, it was naturally incredibly tempting.
Speaking of which, the old man would take a stroll over his own land when he had some free time at night. The old man was incredibly strong, so even if people coveted his land, they wouldn't dare to go too far. They would just occasionally lose a couple of ears of grain if they didn't see him, but that was no big deal.
Unexpectedly, Wang Mazi and his gang of thugs have become increasingly audacious, even daring to beat up her people! Jiang Nuanzhi narrowed her eyes in shock.
"Don't be afraid, Aunt Nuan will avenge you right away." With that, she took Fu Man's hand and started to walk out.
Hearing this, Xie Liangchen subconsciously stepped forward to stop her: "Fatty, you can't go."
Jiang Nuanzhi frowned deeply, but finally couldn't help but say, "I'm not going to use the name Fatty anymore. I have a new name, Jiang Nuanzhi. You can still call me Doctor Jiang."
Xie Liangchen was taken aback: "Jiang Nuanzhi?"
In the blink of an eye, Xie Liangchen saw that Jiang Nuanzhi had already left.
He immediately stepped forward to stop her: "Stop making a scene. You are a weak woman, how can you possibly be a match for Wang Mazi with such a girl by your side? When I saw Wang Mazi, he was surrounded by at least seven or eight burly men. Even I wouldn't dare to fight them head-on. You should stay at home."
Seeing Jiang Nuanzhi frown and remain silent, Xie Liangchen continued, "I know you have some skills, but even with my help, our chances of winning are not high."
Xie Liangchen knew she could take down two grown men, but there were seven or eight men there, all tall and strong. Moreover, Zhao Yuniang had mentioned Jiang Pangya and Wang Mazi, and Xie Liangchen subconsciously frowned, saying, "They're all scoundrels. Getting involved with them will damage your reputation. You'll likely suffer. Weighing the pros and cons, it's best to stay home and bide your time."
Jiang Nuanzhi smiled upon hearing this: "Thank you, young master. The grain that people are eyeing is still in the field. I don't have a good reputation anyway. As a doctor, I've had my share of troubles with people, so this one won't make a difference. Besides, I think I can take down a few hooligans without your help."
Using someone like him, who seems like he could be blown over by a gust of wind, to help? Absolutely not. She'd look down on me if I did.
Hearing her words, Xie Liangchen couldn't help but sigh, staring at Jiang Nuanzhi with complicated eyes, and said, "Why do you belittle yourself like this? I won't allow it."
Jiang Nuanzhi: "???"
Is he out of his mind?
“You are a good woman. Don’t do anything to demean yourself like this again just to keep my attention. I don’t want to see it.” Xie Liangchen said, a suspicious blush rising on her face, and she lowered her head, not daring to look at Jiang Nuanzhi.
Jiang Nuanzhi: "."
It's certain that people can be so angry they laugh when they're speechless.
Jiang Nuanzhi laughed as she tried to pry open Xie Liangchen's head to see what was inside. She gritted her teeth and said:
"Xie Liangchen, give me ten taels of silver."
Xie Liangchen was stunned when he heard her say that, and then he frantically touched his chest: "I only have two taels of silver left."
Jiang Nuanzhi: "Why don't you ask me why I need the money from you?"
Xie Liangchen met her clear, rosy eyes and his throat bobbed slightly: "What brings you here?"
Jiang Nuanzhi: "I'm here to treat your brain!"
"Let me tell you, with a brain like yours, I absolutely won't treat you for less than ten taels of silver. There are too many bad things about you; you could kill a person with that kind of brain."
Jiang Nuanzhi suspected that the male protagonist in the post didn't use his brain to think things through, but instead relied on his second brother.
Does he think his needle is incredibly charming? Everyone wants him as their prized possession?
"What does this mean?"
Xie Liangchen still seemed confused.
Jiang Nuanzhi shook her head: "Sigh, there's no hope."
“Anuan, if you trust me, then you should avoid contact with these people.” Xie Liangchen continued earnestly, “It won’t do you any good. What you should do now is go to the city and quickly buy some winter supplies. If you can harvest the jade grains in your fields, do so as soon as possible. This winter is likely to be turbulent.”
After thinking for a moment, he added, "Now that you're showing off your wealth, it's best not to move to the new house. Stay here, store up more food, and if possible, raise the courtyard wall for added security."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Nuanzhi subconsciously looked up. She saw Xie Liangchen's captivating peach blossom eyes filled with seriousness and couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
She had heard similar things in Li Rong's letters. How come they seemed to know more about what would happen in the future than she, the transmigrator, did?
The book describes a period of constant natural disasters in the Great Wilderness, including several major uprisings. The exact years are unknown, though.
But she knew that most of them were children when they were young.
This book is a story about a real and a fake princess. The author deliberately added a lot of suffering to Baozhu in order to highlight the difference in the family backgrounds of the two princesses.
Jiang Nuanzhi was naturally aware of this and had already made preparations.
She figured Xie Liangchen probably meant well, so she didn't continue criticizing his brains, only saying, "I understand, thank you. But I must get my revenge."
As she spoke, seeing the old man returning from behind carrying two large baskets, Jiang Nuanzhi waved and asked, "Grandpa, are you coming with me when I go out?"
The old man frowned: "Where are you going? It's still snowing."
After saying that, he looked at Fuman beside him and frowned: "Fuman, why are you crying? Were you bullied?"
The old man narrowed his eyes dangerously.
Jiang Nuanzhi nodded: "Yes, I was bullied, so now I'm going to get revenge. Will you come with me?"
The old man opened the door of the basket on his back and threw it into the house, rubbing his hands together: "Take me to a fight? It's been so long since I've had any exercise! With Rong boy not home, my muscles have all stiffened up."
After moving around for a bit, he suddenly became excited, clenching his fists so tightly they cracked, and exclaimed, "Who should I hit? Him?"
A pair of cool eyes fixed on Xie Liangchen beside her.
