Chapter 2653: Mission 39

Editor: Henyee Translations

“Who do you think you are to come to the Yan family and criticize them? What does the Yan family have to do with you?” Jiang Caixiu erupted in anger, fueled by humiliation. He resented Yan Danqiu for seemingly listening to Tian Liu, as if Jiang’s possessions were on the verge of being taken away.

In Jiang Caixiu’s view, Yan Danqiu was merely a hunter—a destitute youth with no promising future. In his eyes, someone of such low stature had no right to challenge him.

Ready to confront Jiang Caixiu if needed, Tian Liu stood up, conveying a clear message that he wouldn’t tolerate any aggression.

Scholar Jiang, aware of the presence of a more formidable figure, refrained from any physical altercation. Pointing at Tian Liu, he asserted, “I’m looking for Danqiu. It’s none of your business.”

Adding, “Also, I’m not here to apply for a permanent job. I’m here to find Danqiu. I have something to discuss.”

Jiang Caixiu continued, “Have you ever seen a scholar working as a long-term laborer?” attempting to emphasize his supposed superiority.

However, the villagers present wore expressions of disapproval. They perceived Jiang Caixiu’s attitude as demeaning, particularly since his family had engaged in farming, and his father had undertaken long-term labor in the past. Dismissing the value of such work displayed arrogance. Even if Jiang Caixiu were to become an official in the future, the villagers harbored skepticism about relying on him and anticipated the possibility of being treated with disdain.

The villagers had their own thoughts.

Some people snorted coldly.

No one retorted directly.

After all, he was a scholar. Who would dare to make enemies?

“Tian Liu, kick him out! We don’t welcome such ungrateful people.” Gu Chaoyan said with displeasure. “When his father was young, he was a long-term worker in the field, and now he is saying that long-term workers are lowly? He is insulting his father and dissatisfied with him! Don’t let such a person show up in the Yan Family!”

“…”

“Most of the people in North Village are hardworking and honest people. We only welcome these people.” Gu Chaoyan said controversially.

The people here enjoyed it very much.

Jiang Caixiu was about to be chased out when he realized what he had said.

As for his father, there was indeed such a matter.

“That’s not what I meant. I’m just unhappy with Tian Liu. I just wanted to say a few words. I didn’t mean that,” Jiang Caixiu quickly explained.

Still.

No one listened to his explanation.

The villagers were not fools.

“Danqiu, Danqiu, come here. I have something to tell you,” Jiang Caixiu said.

“Just tell me what you want.” Gu Chaoyan said straightforwardly.

“I want to talk to you alone,” Jiang Caixiu said.

He had a reason for coming here today.

He also knew what happened yesterday.

He would be moved by the county magistrate alone, but there was no need to spend so much effort.

However, Tian Liu, concerned about Gu Chaoyan’s well-being, interjected, “Danqiu.”

Tian Liu strongly disapproved of the idea of her marrying Jiang Caixiu again. He believed that someone as kind and good-hearted as Gu Chaoyan deserved better, and certainly not someone like Jiang Caixiu.

“Danqiu, you’re a good girl. Scum like him isn’t worthy of you. There are definitely better people who can take care of you in the future. It can’t be him. If it is, you’ll be ruined,” Tian Liu expressed his concerns.

Gu Chaoyan reassured Tian Liu, “I am fine.”

Addressing Jiang Caixiu, she said, “What do you want to say? Come and say it.”
