Chapter 2662: Mission 48

Editor: Henyee Translations

Auntie Lianhua spoke candidly, unafraid of offending others, as their family’s background as hunters left little room for such concerns.

Her words held truth.

The Jiang Caixiu family, while still Elementary Scholars, had been overbearing in the village. It wasn’t just Jiang Caixiu; the entire Jiang family exhibited domineering behavior. Even those with the Jiang surname were prone to bullying others.

The prospect of such a person advancing to a higher level stirred concerns among the citizens of North Village, anticipating a less pleasant life.

Understandably, everyone, except the Jiang family, likely rejoiced in the news. Auntie Lianhua shared in this sentiment, expressing her happiness.

Gu Chaoyan, though indifferent to such matters, acknowledged the positive turn of events. While she didn’t care personally, she recognized the potential impact such individuals could have on their family in the future.

“Auntie Lianhua, you make a valid point. Let’s discuss this at home. We can act as if we’re unaware to avoid any potential grudges. It’s best not to get involved with such people,” Gu Chaoyan advised in a hushed tone.

Auntie Lianhua, appreciating the reminder, nodded with a bright smile. “I understand.”

The two engaged in cheerful conversation until their mood took a downturn at the sight of Yan Tieniu approaching.

In recent times, individuals from the Yan Family Mansion had frequently visited, adopting a pitiful demeanor to gain sympathy from Gu Chaoyan. It irked her to witness this behavior.

Yesterday it was the eldest son, and now it was Yan Tieniu.

Approaching with a pitiful expression, Yan Tieniu said, “Danqiu, look at the length of the wall. With so many people, it’s not enough. I can come over to help. You don’t have to pay me; just offer a meal in return.”

“…”

“You’re an orphan and a widow. I also want to help you.”

“Humbly, I offer to help,” Yan Tieniu said, aiming for an opportunity.

In North Village, the norm was to seek assistance from siblings first, resorting to outsiders only if necessary. However, Gu Chaoyan hesitated to involve anyone from the Yan Family in the old house.

Yan Tieniu framed his offer as a gesture of assistance today.

Yet, Gu Chaoyan, wary of potential entanglements, couldn’t afford to accept. Yielding might complicate her life further, intertwining their affairs gradually until her family was ensnared once again. Gu Chaoyan, no fool, stood firm against such propositions.

“We’ve already arranged for Land Officer to handle our affairs, and our families are unrelated. We appreciate your offer, but we don’t require assistance. Moreover, we’re not orphaned or widowed. Since Tian Jiuguo’s arrival, we are now connected to the Tian Family, so we don’t need additional help. Thank you for your kindness,” Gu Chaoyan asserted resolutely.

Yan Tieniu, unwilling to be dismissed easily, contemplated the implications. With Third Brother’s family thriving, they surpassed their previous status. To sever ties completely would result in a substantial loss, especially considering the generous wages Third Brother’s family offered when hiring for various tasks.
