Upon hearing this, Jiang Nuan understood what Chief Huang meant.
So, they wanted to make peace.
However, this matter may not be so simple.
“Okay,” Jiang Nuan readily agreed. “I will pass on your words to Lai Zi. However, let me make this clear from the start: whether he agrees or not is none of my business.”
It's really strange. What did she do to deserve this? Why are they all setting their sights on her?
Does she seem like such an easy person to talk to?
Chief Huang heard Jiang Nuan's words clearly and wanted to offer some advice, but then he thought of the phrase "things are different now."
Neither Lai Zi nor Huang Mu's wife are people who can be easily manipulated anymore.
How did the day change so quickly?
In the end, Chief Huang left dejectedly, having failed to get the answer he wanted.
That evening, Jiang Nuan recounted what had happened during the day.
Lai Zi chuckled twice, "Now you're thinking of backing down? It'll be too late."
You think you can get away with being wronged for nothing with just a few words? There's no such thing as a free lunch.
"What are your plans?" Jiang Nuan raised an eyebrow. "Are you really going to go against everyone?"
“No,” Lai Zi said, pursing his lips. “No matter how bad the villagers are, they’ve at least fed me for several years. Without them, I would have starved to death long ago.”
"Tsk tsk, Liao Chunhua is terrified of you, she's afraid you'll retaliate against her."
“I did it on purpose,” Lai Zi laughed maliciously. “That woman is disgusting. It’s good to make her live in constant fear.”
Her sharp tongue has caused her a lot of trouble.
“It’s good that you have your own ideas,” Jiang Nuan nodded. “Don’t rush to reply to the clan leader. Let it sit for a while before you say anything.”
She refused to believe that the head of a clan could not see through a woman's tricks.
You came in such a hurry today, I'm afraid you were influenced by Liao Chunhua.
That woman is truly incredibly poisonous.
“Hmm,” Lai Zi said, revealing his plan, “It’s fine as it is now, we keep to ourselves, so we don’t have to worry about anyone taking advantage of us.”
Since everyone's calling him a wolf cub, he might as well just be an ingrate. He can get some attention from time to time and have a good life.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Jiang Nuan was amused by Lai Zi's words. "A little favor can win people's hearts. Why care about these things? Don't act like a child."
“No way,” Lai Zi insisted, “I won’t let them take advantage of me, not even a little bit.”
"Whatever you want," Jiang Nuan said helplessly. "As long as you know what you're doing."
After a pause, Jiang Nuan changed the subject, "How's the matchmaking going?"
“I’ve already found someone,” Lai Zi said shyly. “I’ll be there first thing tomorrow morning.”
"Auntie, you are our only elder, so this marriage arrangement will probably cause you a lot of trouble."
"It's okay, just you two live your lives well."
While Jiang Nuan's side was peaceful, dark clouds loomed over Liao's side.
"Husband, what should we do?" Liao kept shaking Huang Sheng, who had his eyes closed. "Old Lady Jiang isn't helping, and the clan chief is also planning to stand by and watch. What should we do?"
"Just do what needs to be done. What's there to be afraid of? Even if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up."
"Bullshit, our family is the one that offended Lai Zi the most in the whole village, what tall guy is he?"
"Don't overthink it. Although Lai Zi is a bit of a troublemaker, he's not a malicious person and won't do anything to you."
"Do you even believe that yourself? Have you forgotten the beast in our family that died a horrible death?"
"Believe it or not," Huang Sheng said impatiently. "I'm going to sleep."
"No, let's discuss it again..."
Listening to her increasingly even breathing, Liao reluctantly closed her eyes.
