Village Chief Zhou's words enlightened Clan Chief Yan!
Yang Cui, a rural woman abandoned by her husband, dared to stand up against Lin Shikang, a top scholar, and even the Lin family before Cen Xiao was around, and she didn't lose. Will she lose now?
After leaving the Zhou family, Clan Chief Yan returned to Pigeon Village and immediately summoned the clansmen. He repeatedly warned them that while they would not care if others wanted to leave or ask for leave, the people of Pigeon Village must stand with the village chief!
Both Zhou'an Village and Pigeon Village are very united and listen to their clan chief (village chief). Even if they are tormented in their hearts, they still do as they are told.
Zhou Daqing and Chief Yan also personally approached Yang Cui to express their stance.
Zhou Daqing was a smart and decisive man; otherwise, he wouldn't have helped her fight against the Lin clan. However, Yang Cui was still quite surprised that Clan Chief Yan would also have this attitude.
Yang Cui knew that they came here to express their opinion, and also to try and get a sense of what they were thinking from her.
Yang Cui only said two words: "Don't worry."
Upon hearing these two words, they immediately relaxed, and all that remained was to wait.
Back in their respective villages, they didn't say much to their people, but simply urged them to work hard and not to slack off because of things that hadn't happened yet.
...
The fact that Madam Wan demanded a large sum of money and a recipe from Yang Cui was common knowledge in the county.
Even though Cen Xiao is gone, most people wouldn't dare to openly treat Yang Cui like this, let alone shamelessly ask for 100,000 taels of silver and all the money-making recipes.
So, what kind of powerful backer did Wanjia actually find?
The concerns of wealthy and powerful families are naturally different from those of ordinary people.
For a time, many people in the county town had a lot of speculation, but many were determined to be polite to the Wan family at this stage. They also wanted to know whether Yang Cui would obediently listen to them.
Baofu Jewelry Store was always jealous of Yang Cui's profitable business and her partnership with Mo Zijun, which caused their business to plummet, but they couldn't do anything about Yang Cui.
Now that Cen Xiao is dead, he's happy to see the Wan family deal with Yang Cui. In fact, the Mo family is already secretly planning how to quickly regain market share after Yang Cui falls.
...
Wanjia's side.
"As long as we get Yang Cui's money, our family's life will get better." Madam Wan felt a sense of relief.
They had already emptied their house to pay tribute to the nobleman. Once they received the 100,000 taels of silver, they could keep 40% and hand over the remaining 60% along with the recipe to show their loyalty, so that the Wan family's future path would be smoother.
The Wan family's idea is very good.
Wan Jiahao was still a little worried: "Yang Cui is a tough nut to crack; she won't be so honest as to hand over the money."
Actually, he didn't approve of associating with influential people, but his parents had already given away all their wealth, so he had no choice but to agree. Fortune and wealth are found in danger, and he could only hope that his benefactor would help him achieve his great goal!
"Hmph! It's not like she can just give it to her if she doesn't want to!" Madam Wan's hatred and jealousy towards Yang Cui had been hidden in her heart for a long time, and now was the time to unleash it.
"If she doesn't give it to me, then... hmph..."
...
Yang Cui reported the extortion to the authorities, but the county magistrate, Yu Zhenqiang, claimed to be ill and said that he could not handle the case for the time being.
It seems that the current county magistrate is in cahoots with them, and it was probably their deliberate act to transfer the original county magistrate, Yin Zhihua.
Thinking about it this way, if I don't obediently give in, the Wan family will definitely have other tricks up their sleeves.
We must turn the passive situation into an active one.
Otherwise, you and your loved ones will be in danger.
Thinking of this, Yang Cui spoke with Su Yutang privately, asking her to…
