A piercing sound came from outside the door. Not only Jiang Yao and the others, but even the customers inside and outside the store, looked in the direction of the sound.

Old Mrs. Jiang, Jiang Xueping, Mrs. Wu, and Jiang Xuean all had furious expressions on their faces, their eyes were red from anger, as if their ancestors' graves had been dug up.

"Alas!" he sighed. Jiang Yao sighed helplessly, put down the account book in her hand, and walked out of the store leisurely.

Just a few days of peaceful life had passed and he came!

If possible, she really hoped to leave earlier and not be bothered by Mrs. Jiang and her group anymore.

Jiang Yao didn't know that she would most likely be driven out of the town just because of this.

Old Mrs. Jiang was yelling and cursing outside. When she saw Jiang Yao leaving, she ignored Jiang Xueping and Jiang Xuean and slapped Jiang Yao directly.

Just when Mrs. Jiang's palm was about to touch Jiang Yao, it was grabbed by a big hand.

"Old man, they opened a shop here, but you suddenly rushed in, swearing and even trying to hit them. This seems a bit unreasonable."

After all, Old Lady Jiang had seen Jiang Yao before, and her righteous look made her feel a little uneasy.

When she thought of the benefits she was about to get, the expression on Mrs. Jiang's face became ferocious. She suddenly pulled her hands off the ground, put her hands on her hips, and glared at the man.

"Who are you? What does it have to do with you if I teach my granddaughter a lesson?"

"Jiang Yao, how good do you think she is?" Old Mrs. Jiang paused and pouted at Jiang Yao.

"She's like a pool of spit, so annoying! Haven't you heard of her shop? Her house belongs to our Jiang family!"

"Back then, those two women teamed up to beat up my biological father just because they wanted to steal the food recipe. Look, his injuries haven't fully recovered yet! My son could have passed the imperial examination, but he became a useless man instead."

After saying this, Old Mrs. Jiang burst into tears and cried so sadly, so sadly, so sadly, so sadly.

Jiang Xue'an, on the other hand, was like a little chicken, shivering and not daring to even look Jiang Yao in the eye.

This scene, coupled with the crying of Old Lady Jiang, made many people hesitate. Their eyes swept back and forth between Jiang Yao and Old Lady Jiang, but they were not sure whether what Old Lady Jiang said was true or false.

Just when everyone was hesitating, the woman who wanted to eat and drink for free came in again, followed by a group of women of the same age as her.

Maybe that woman said something to others, and several women looked at Jiang Yao with hostility.

Seeing that Jiang Yao was beaten to a pulp by her, she mocked him mercilessly, pointed a finger at him with a look of contempt.

"I think what Auntie said is right. Think about it, which father would be afraid of his own daughter? Besides, how old is this Jiang Yao? She has lived in the village since she was a child and doesn't know anything. Where did she get all these delicious foods?"

"And every dish is delicious. My son asks me to buy it for him every day. I was planning to give Jiang Yao some benefits, but she refused to agree. She must have bad intentions!"

Hearing this, everyone nodded.

Especially when talking about their own children clamoring to buy it every day, the adults watching looked unhappy, as if Jiang Yao had poisoned them.

When Mrs. Jiang heard this, she immediately perked up. She was originally crying, but now she smiled. But she quickly returned to normal and smiled even more happily.

She stood up trembling and walked towards the women. She didn't care whether the women hated her hands or not. She held the women's arms and refused to let go.

"Sister, you are right. She got my son drunk when he was drinking, beat him, and forced him to hand over the formula."

"If I hadn't cleaned the house thoroughly yesterday, I wouldn't have found our Jiang family's heirlooms, and let that ungrateful thing of hers steal them away!"

"Not only that, she is doing very well in her own shop, and she also instigated others to suppress her uncle's business. Now she has even implicated her uncle's family. Do you think she is a good person?"

When Old Mrs. Jiang said this, tears were about to fall.

Fortunately, she was very cooperative. When she saw the bailiffs coming in, she waved to them and shouted.

"Governor! Here! There is a thief here. Catch her quickly before she steals everything around us!"

As she shouted, a man with a big belly was surrounded by a group of yamen runners and asked questions in a pretentious manner.

This matter involved Jiang Yao, but she was deceived by Old Lady Jiang and that woman without even asking a single question.

From beginning to end, Jiang Yao did not say a word, but just silently observed the development of the situation to see what Old Lady Jiang was planning today.

At first, she didn't know what Old Lady Jiang was doing here, until she found out that one of the yamen runners was the corrupt official who had rejected their family before.

Hearing his words, Jiang Yao suddenly understood.

Old Mrs. Jiang really spent a lot of money to deal with me. She even teamed up with a corrupt county magistrate. It seems that Zhang Xueping is not having an easy time in the capital.

There is nothing we can do about this.

Jiang Yao felt that there was no way this matter would end today, and the corrupt official did not ask any further questions, so she quietly slipped back to the shop and told Zhong He and Lu.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, those people ran over aggressively and smashed the store without saying a word.

Zhong He was furious and was about to step forward to stop them, but was stopped by Jiang Yao, "Don't come over! They have already taken their money. If you go again, you will be beaten up, and I will have to pay for the medical expenses. You are so lucky!"

Although he said so, Zhong He knew in his heart that Jiang Yao was worried that he would get hurt. He could only watch a good store being destroyed.

After completely destroying everything in the store, several yamen runners came to Jiang Yao and handcuffed her without saying a word.

She knew very well that all of this was done by the Jiang family, who had already made arrangements with the corrupt officials. Jiang Yao did not resist, but simply handed over her hands and let them handcuff her.

Perhaps it was because Jiang Yao was too active that the bailiff failed to react for a moment, and so he whispered something to Jiang Yao without anyone noticing.
