Ms. Doctor Divine

This situation was highly favorable. Not only did she manage to alleviate concerns regarding Danxia and Dandong’s future, but the worries surrounding Danqiu’s marriage into the Jiang family also dissipated. With a clear understanding of her boundaries and an ability to handle matters adeptly, everything was falling into place.

“Danqiu, considering my frail health and your father always taking charge of household affairs, I lack comprehension and intellect in these matters. Now that you have a plan, I’ll abide by your guidance. I wholeheartedly support you,” Ms. Wang conveyed, essentially granting Danqiu both approval and authority within the family structure.

Meanwhile…

Ms. Wang’s seasoned experience shone through.

Simultaneously, she offered a perspective. “While renting the fields is an option, most individuals in North Village did so with the intent of exploiting our family. They fear it’ll be challenging to reclaim them later. Employing someone to cultivate the land is an alternative, but our yield might be modest. Your father used to hire individuals for the task. We can locate those workers.”

Gu Chaoyan felt a surge of joy upon hearing these words.

As anticipated, the family had encountered merely a temporary setback.

They were all individuals who could be fully supported.

Setting aside her two sisters, both intelligent and sensible, their future prospects appeared promising.

Ms. Wang, being a perceptive and broad-minded individual, surprised Gu Chaoyan. She initially assumed Ms. Wang would prefer the simpler route of renting out the land like the other villagers to avoid unnecessary complications. Instead, Ms. Wang opted to hire someone for cultivation. Although it presented initial challenges, the path ahead seemed much smoother.

“The adoption process poses a challenge. Finding a suitable family is no easy task,” Ms. Wang expressed her concern, genuinely unsure about the ideal match. She had observed the North Village residents and wasn’t confident about their suitability.

Just as Ms. Wang concluded her thoughts, a knock echoed on the door.

Dandong, being the youngest, energetically darted outside.

With joy, she swung the door open, revealing Auntie Lianhua.

Ms. Wang greeted her with a smile, “It’s Auntie Lianhua! Please come in.”

Auntie Lianhua, straightforward and warm, entered with a smile, dismissing the need for a formal welcome.

“My husband descended from the mountain and brought a lot of things. He sent one here. Considering your health, use it to make soup,” she casually mentioned. “I heard about the situation with the Jiang family, and I…”

Gu Chaoyan interrupted her, urging her not to say anything further.

Auntie Lianhua promptly understood and fell silent.

She continued, “I heard about the dispute with the residents in the old house. It’s commendable that you’re safeguarding the fields yourself. Those few are unscrupulous. If you don’t stand your ground, they’ll covet your family’s land. Don’t worry. If you need anything in the future, just call us. My husband hunts daily, and he’s quite strong. We’re here to help.”

“…”

“We owe your father a debt. It’s only right for us to do something,” Auntie Lianhua said emotionally.

Ms. Wang expressed her gratitude, “You all are truly honest people.”

After their father’s departure, the people in the North Village either took advantage of their situation or coveted their modest fields. Conversely, Old Tian’s family had consistently been supportive.

Auntie Lianhua exchanged a few more words before departing.

As Old Tian descended from the mountain, the family prepared to sell meat.

Following Auntie Lianhua outside, Gu Chaoyan heard her vent, “How heartless can this Jiang Family lackey be? We won’t be intimidated. Old Tian and Xiao Tian are strong enough to handle them!”
