Xu Nian stopped what she was doing and looked at the village chief who was bowing and scraping before her, and she was somewhat moved.
Unexpectedly, at this crucial moment, the village chief actually stood up to speak for Wang Jinmei.
[Sigh, this village chief seems to have deep feelings for her.]
[After all, they've been married for so many years; it would be truly terrifying to ignore them.]
【What should we do? Should the streamer just let her go?】
Indeed, Xu Nian hesitated.
"Please don't be angry, leave this matter to me."
Seeing that Xu Nian seemed to be willing to make an exception, the village chief quickly added another sentence, his words sounding quite urgent.
If the matter were handed over to Xu Nian, Wang Jinmei would not lose her life, but she would certainly suffer physical pain.
Wang Jinmei shrank back, head down, curled up, and didn't dare to speak at all.
Now that the village chief is speaking up for her, she feels a stirring in her heart.
Silence fell over the surroundings, and all eyes were on Xu Nian, waiting quietly for her next sentence.
Xu Nian remained silent for a moment, staring at the village chief's determined eyes for a long time, and finally sighed almost imperceptibly.
“Village chief, you must remember that this is a favor I'm giving you. At the same time, it's also my last chance for her.”
After saying that, Xu Nian didn't intend to stay any longer and turned around to leave quickly.
Although she wanted to take this opportunity to severely punish Wang Jinmei, since the village chief had already said so much, she still had to give him this much face.
Seeing Xu Nian leave, Wang Jinmei breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of her heart.
It seems she won't suffer any hardship today!
But before she could fully relax, the village chief gave her a very gloomy look, snorted coldly, and turned back.
Wang Jinmei panicked and hurriedly followed in his footsteps.
Seeing that there was no more excitement to be seen, the people around dispersed on their own.
"Look at the stupid things you've done today!"
Upon returning, the village chief flew into a rage, his face filled with fury.
Although he stepped in to protect Wang Jinmei, he was actually extremely dissatisfied with her actions.
Xu Nian worked hard in the city and was busy preparing everything, and they even ate and drank for free. What was she dissatisfied with?
"I...I'm doing this for our own good, aren't I?"
Wang Jinmei hesitated for a moment, then said cautiously, "You know we'll eventually have to go to the capital, there..."
"Even if we're going to the capital, so what? The immortal is still here. Who among us can move? Why don't you understand?"
The village chief pointed at Wang Jinmei's nose, saying with a look of disappointment and frustration.
The atmosphere in the room instantly became heavy.
"Alright, I've already shown mercy by saving your life today."
The village chief remained silent for a long time before finally speaking, "From now on, you are no longer my woman. Go wherever you want, so you won't embarrass yourself and drag me down with you!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Jinmei turned pale instantly and asked incredulously, "You want a divorce? How could you do this!"
"Why can't I!"
The village chief, who had been holding back for a long time, finally exploded, "Everyone in the village knows to listen to the fortune teller and they'll eat well and dress well. But you, you always go against the fortune teller. Every time you go out with me, I feel my face burning!"
After listening to the village chief's long and eloquent speech, Wang Jinmei stood there stunned, speechless for a long time.
"Alright, you can go now."
The village chief, unwilling to waste any more words with her, waved his hand and lowered his head in silence.
It seemed that the village chief's indifferent attitude towards her was what drove Wang Jinmei to the brink of collapse. She screamed at the top of her lungs, "I treated you so well before, and today you're divorcing me for some woman of unknown origin!"
"Listen to what you're saying!"
The village chief, not good at arguing, blushed and said, "That's just the talk of a boorish countrywoman. She doesn't even know how to be ashamed of herself!"
The two were arguing loudly, and everyone around them was listening intently, sighing with disbelief.
Even so, no one went to stop the fight.
Just as the village chief said, Wang Jinmei is confused and is going against the fortune teller.
They've been treated well by the fortune teller all day long, how could they do such a thing?
The two had a huge argument, which eventually reached Xu Nian's ears.
"It must have been tough on the village chief."
Xu Nian clicked her tongue, feeling great sympathy for the village chief.
[Really, I thought the village chief was a pretty good guy, how did he end up with such a wife?]
Perhaps she wasn't always this bad; she changed in order to survive better in this era.
Don't be discouraged, host. Most people still support you.
Seeing the occasional comforting comments floating by in the live chat, Xu Nian couldn't help but laugh, "Do you guys think I'm that sensitive? They're just a few clowns, and besides, Cuiqing's gone now—"
"Hey, I feel so much more at peace now that she's gone."
"What's so much quieter?"
Gu Zhan entered the house right after Xu Nian finished speaking, his eyes filled with undisguised concern. "I heard that someone caused trouble today. Are you alright?"
Seeing him come over, Xu Nian felt relieved and quickly began to complain, "It's all because of Wang Jinmei and Cuiqing, who went to great lengths to find thugs in the village and insisted on causing trouble in the city."
Upon hearing this, a dangerous glint flashed in Gu Zhan's eyes.
"But now that I've kicked Cuiqing out, and Wang Jinmei is arguing with the village chief, things should be much quieter for a while."
As she spoke, Xu Nian breathed a sigh of relief.
This incident is neither a major nor a minor matter.
However, this was a perfect opportunity to kick Cuiqing out, which was quite satisfying.
"If there's anything you can't handle, come to me."
Seeing her sighing expression, Gu Zhan pondered for a moment before speaking calmly.
"What do you want? Are you trying to bully them with your official power?"
Hearing this, Xu Nian laughed and tilted her head to ask, "General Gu, if you're discovered, you'll be beheaded."
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhan raised an eyebrow in noncommittal opinion, "Little White is having a lot of fun in the military camp, when are you going to go see it?"
Suddenly, the image of the little white tiger throwing a tantrum flashed through Xu Nian's mind, and she felt an itch to go. She immediately stood up and said, "Let's go now."
But before she could even leave the house, Han Xiao'e rushed in.
"Sir, are you alright?"
As soon as she entered the room, she thoroughly examined Xu Nian from head to toe, and said anxiously and worriedly, "I was busy organizing and storing things, and I only found out about this now."
"Hey, it's nothing, it's not a big deal."
Xu Nian felt that she was worrying too much, so she waved her hand and was about to speak when Han Xiao'e lowered her head with a look of shame. "If it weren't for us, you certainly wouldn't have been slandered like this, sir."
"Have we dragged you into this?"
