In this way, the villagers would think that she was protected by officials. Even if her family made a lot of money selling mosquito coils, the villagers would be envious but wouldn't dare to do anything to harm Old Jiang's family.
Upon hearing this, Uncle Jiang looked at Jiang Wanwan with some surprise.
But then I thought about it again, and whatever my niece said was true; she had her reasons for saying it that way.
Villagers of Dashui Village: "......"
Is Jiang Wanwan really not showing off?
What if they can't find any evidence?
After saying that, Jiang Wanwan asked her second uncle to drive the oxcart home.
The villagers stared blankly as the oxcart drove away, and only after a while did they begin to discuss it loudly.
"My God, Wan is so lucky. Her best friend is even willing to give her money to spend. Why don't I have a best friend like that?"
Those with keen insight immediately grasped the key point. "Wan'er used to be an official's daughter, so her close friends must also be daughters of officials, right? In that case, wouldn't she be essentially protected by a high-ranking official?"
Upon hearing this, the previously noisy scene instantly fell silent, and everyone's expressions varied.
Since ancient times, people have harbored a sense of fear towards officials. The villagers of Dashui Village are no exception.
Some of them were just jealous that Jiang Wanwan's family bought an oxcart, but now they don't dare to feel jealous at all.
"Wow, looks like she's someone you can't afford to offend. Luckily, I haven't offended her before," someone said, patting their chest heavily, sounding a bit shaken.
"Me too, me too!"
Everyone carefully recalled whether they had offended Jiang Wanwan or the Jiang family in words or actions. After confirming that they had not, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Then, everyone looked at Zhang Cuihua and Jiang Tietou, who were holding a large, rough ceramic bowl.
If we're talking about offending Jiang Wanwan, then it's only Zhang Cuihua's family.
Zhang Cuihua and her husband were ashen-faced, their hands trembling slightly as they held the bowls.
The others glanced at the two with schadenfreude, then took their bowls and went home.
Soon, only Zhang Cuihua and her husband remained in the same spot.
Zhang Cuihua asked in a trembling voice and with a terrified expression, "Tie, Tie Tou, what are we going to do now?"
Her voice was tinged with a sob as she looked at Jiang Tietou, completely lost.
"Hmph! It's all your fault, you vicious woman! Why did you have to provoke Jiang Wanwan? You're all talk and no action. Now look what you've done, you've kicked a hornet's nest."
"If Jiang Wanwan blames our family, I'll definitely divorce you!" Jiang Tietou was also a little scared. As the saying goes, the common people can't fight with officials. Jiang Wanwan has an official's daughter protecting her, which is equivalent to having an official protecting her. If she holds a grudge about what happened a few days ago, their family will be in deep trouble.

Meanwhile, Jiang Wanwan and her second uncle were driving their oxcart home. They were still quite a distance from home when they heard the excited shouts of Jiang Hehu and his three companions from a great distance.
Yes, it was a howling sound, so loud it cracked.
"Little sister, little sister, you're finally back! Your second brother missed you so much."
“Little sister, your fourth brother misses you too! If I hadn’t been busy working just now, I would have gone to the village entrance to meet you.” Jiang Hu shouted excitedly.
Before the words were even finished, several figures had already darted over.
The four rushed to the oxcart and were dumbfounded to find that the driver was none other than Uncle Jiang.
"Father, where's the driver? Why are you driving?"
"Yes, Second Uncle, why are you driving?"
Jiang Xun looked at his second uncle with some confusion, then he suddenly realized something and a crazy joy flashed in his eyes.
