The village chief frowned deeply and sternly stopped Jiang Dayong and Jiang Dali, "Stop arguing! I will find out the truth and give everyone an explanation."
Seeing the village chief's imposing demeanor, Jiang Dayong, Jiang Dali, and Jiang Tietou had no choice but to shut their mouths and dare not say another word.
The village chief, his previous stern expression gone, looked at Jiang Wanwan gently. "Wanwan, can you tell us about the mosquito coil incident? Otherwise, your Dayong and Uncle Dali will keep pressing this matter."
He didn't want to ask too many questions about the Jiang family's business, but there was nothing he could do. Unless he presented facts proving that their family hadn't borrowed money from the money exchange at interest, Jiang Dayong and the other two would definitely keep pressing the matter.
Jiang Wanwan smiled understandingly. Sooner or later, the villagers would find out about her family's business, so she didn't feel there was any point in hiding it from them.
To her surprise, this incident would allow her to earn an extra sum of money.
Wow, they've made a killing!
"Grandpa Village Chief, wait a moment." Jiang Wanwan lowered her eyes, reached into her crossbody bag and rummaged around, taking out a bag of mosquito coils.
"Grandpa Village Chief, this is the mosquito coil. Please open it and take a look." She handed the mosquito coil to the village chief.
The villagers immediately craned their necks to see what it was that could make this well-dressed Mr. Bai travel all the way to the remote and impoverished village of Dashui to find Jiang Wanwan's family.
The village chief looked down, and when he saw the bag in his hand, his eyes lit up. Then, he loudly read the words on the bag, "Jiang's mosquito coils? Brilliant, brilliant!"
He had never seen a shop design its bags so exquisitely and vividly. No wonder Boss Bai went to such lengths to find Jiang Wanwan!
The village chief took the mosquito coils out of the bag, and a faint scent of mugwort wafted to his nose. He asked, bewildered, "Wan'er, is this mosquito coil?"
Jiang Wanwan nodded and said patiently, "Yes, it's really effective at repelling mosquitoes. Just break off a small piece, light it in a room with the doors and windows closed, and those annoying mosquitoes will be killed instantly by the fumes."
Bai Zhanfei, standing nearby, chimed in, "That's exactly right. A while ago, I happened to learn about mosquito coils, so I traveled all the way to Longmen Town to buy a few rolls. But when it was my turn in line, they were sold out. I begged the shopkeeper to go back home and bring some more, and she kindly agreed, actually going back to get more..."
After using the mosquito coils, I found that their mosquito-repelling effect was indeed very powerful. So, I wanted to talk to the shop owner about a potential collaboration, but I haven't been able to find her for the past few days, so I asked Xiao Hei from the money exchange to help me find her.
Bai Zhanfei spoke so much, which was unprecedented for him, just to confirm this for Jiang Wanwan.
A sudden realization dawned on Jiang Wanwan, and she instantly remembered who Boss Bai was. She exclaimed, "So it was you!"
The middle-aged man in the brocade robe who bought mosquito coils for his eighty-year-old mother and generously gave her ten taels of silver!
Bai Zhanfei cupped his hands in greeting, a smile on his face, and said, "It is indeed I."
After hearing what Jiang Wanwan and Bai Zhanfei said, there was nothing the village chief and the villagers couldn't understand.
This Mr. Bai is here to buy mosquito coils from Jiang Wanwan, not some money lender coming to collect money!
The village chief turned his head and looked at Jiang Dali, Jiang Dayong, and Jiang Tietou with a stern expression. "Have you all understood?"
