In a year of natural disasters, the young woman had billions of resources to build a paradise.

A bonfire had been lit inside the dilapidated temple, and an iron pot had been set up.

The firelight was warm and inviting, and the iron pot was bubbling and steaming.

Jiang Ranran swallowed hard, then gently raised her head. "Young Master, I..."

She neither said she wanted to nor didn't want to; she just looked up at Wu Yong with a pitiful expression.

Her face was slightly damp, and her eyes were red with tears.

Wu Yong stretched out a finger and wiped away her tears, sliding it down her eye to her chin, lifting her face higher. "Stay with me."

"Hmm~"

Jiang Ranran forced out the words, making no mention of inviting the Jiang family members in as well.

Outside, the Jiang family members strained to look into the dilapidated temple.

Li shivered from the cold. "Why isn't Ranran back yet? Could it be that she doesn't want to take care of us anymore?"

"Don't talk nonsense, how could Ranran do that?"

Jiang Chuan stared at her, his heart pounding.

Ranran has been acting strangely lately. Could it be that she's annoyed because they made her follow Wu Yong?

Li didn't dare to say anything more, and lowered her head, pursing her lips.

Since they're the ones being called stupid, they certainly don't think it's wrong!

As I was pondering this, I looked up and met several malicious glances.

She quickly tugged at Jiang Chuan, "Manager, it's Yu Tieniu and his men."

Yu Tieniu was the leader of a group of hooligans in Tupo Village. He was known for petty theft and harassing young women. He was a despicable character.

They refused to obey, so Granny Li kicked them out of the group. They were already angry and thought they could rest in the dilapidated temple for a while, but they were kicked out by the large group from Ruyi Tower.

Upon seeing the Jiang family's cart, an idea immediately came to mind.

Yu Tieniu stopped in front of them and said with a grin, "Hey, isn't this the Jiang family's big brick and tile house?"

Immediately, someone behind him chimed in, "What brick and tile houses? They've all collapsed, hahaha!"

Several people laughed.

The others in the group, sensing the newcomer's hostile intentions, all kept their distance. They were essentially forced into the group by Ruyi Tower; why should they stand up for them?

But they still wanted to see the spectacle, so they all tilted their heads and craned their necks to look.

"Yu Tieniu, what are you trying to do?"

Jiang Chuan's face was gloomy.

Although he had three sons, the youngest was sickly and weak. The eldest, second eldest, and he himself were no match for these six people.

So no matter how angry he was, he didn't dare to hit her like he did with Li.

Yu Tieniu slowly walked to the cart. "Guess who I just saw?"

The others followed him closely, their eyes darting around.

"Cough cough cough."

Jiang Jiman took a few deep breaths and tried to calm his tone. "Uncle Tie Niu, if there's nothing else, we should rest."

Yu Tieniu slapped the box a few times, his eyes filled with greed. "What's the rush? Let's chat for a bit. I just saw your good girl."

His people added, "She's good at raising daughters."

"Yes, a good adopted daughter, Jiang Ranran!"

Yu Tieniu looked at her with admiration, "She almost poisoned someone to death, yet you still managed to escape the famine with Ruyi Tower's group. You're quite capable, aren't you? There were so many people in that dilapidated temple, and she just went to find that young master so openly. She really went all out."

They started laughing again.

Li exclaimed in shock, "Poisoned someone? What nonsense are you spouting?"

Not only Yu Tieniu, but everyone watching was stunned. "You don't know?"

"That's true. It's such an embarrassing thing, we might not dare to tell our parents."

People started talking all at once, telling a vivid story about how Jiang Ranran cooked porridge, almost killed someone, then framed her sister, and finally got scolded by her sister and had her foot broken.

The Jiang family members were utterly stunned.

No one expected that Jiang Ranran, who is always gentle and sensible, would do such a thing!

No wonder she wouldn't tell the truth no matter how they asked.

Jiang Jiman straightened up, leaning on the cart. He was shocked not only by Jiang Ranran, but also by Jiang Mianmian's ruthless methods. She had the heart to break Ranran's foot and then shamelessly sent her back to the Jiang family. Such scheming sent a chill down his spine.

Is this still the same Mianmian who smiled timidly and called him Third Brother?

Taking advantage of the moment when no one was paying attention, Yu Tieniu gave a wink.

Of the six people, four had already unknowingly separated the Jiang family from the cart, while the other two pushed the cart and ran!

"What are you doing?"

Jiang Bocai realized what was happening and ran over to try to stop him.

Yu Tieniu kicked him in the waist, "What are you doing? Of course, we're taking back what belongs to our Tupo Village!"

"You're talking nonsense! That clearly belongs to the Jiang family!"

Jiang Zhongtian also rushed forward.

The two groups immediately started fighting.

Li ran to stop the car, quickly climbed onto it, and reached out to gouge the eyes of the two men, shouting, "You're stealing our things! Stop! Stop right now!"

"Ouch, let go! You shrew!"

One of them felt a pain in his eye and lost strength in his hand, while the other was working hard.

The road was already slippery, and the car tipped over immediately.

The rice bags rolled into the muddy water with a series of "plop plop plop".

Those watching the commotion were heartbroken and rushed over to snatch it, crying, "What a waste! What a waste!"

Once one person grabbed it, the others couldn't sit still any longer.

Regardless of whether we can keep them or not, let's just grab them and take them home first!

Seeing this, Yu Tieniu shouted, "Smash the box! Quickly!"

With six people, they obviously couldn't carry four boxes away, so they might as well smash the boxes open, pick up the meat and eggs, and run.

As a result of that shout, not only their group, but more than a dozen people suddenly jumped out from the large group.

He picked up a stone and went up to it, smashing it repeatedly.

They had their eyes on those several large boxes of things belonging to the Jiang family long ago. They had asked about them, but the Jiang family guarded them like the apple of their eye, so there must be some extraordinary treasures inside.

Jiang Jiman was extremely anxious. "Those are Manager Wu's things! Who would dare to steal them?"

When Manager Wu's name was mentioned, their actions actually paused for a moment.

Yu Tieniu and his men didn't care about Manager Wu or Manager Li; they still swung their arms and smashed the stones with all their might.

Seeing this, the others also grabbed boxes and started smashing them.

The scene was in complete chaos, and the Jiang family was no match for them.

Li fell into the mud, her buttocks hitting a rock. She groaned in pain. Seeing that everything had been taken and the box was about to be lost, tears streamed down her face. "San'er, you have to think of something!"

Jiang Jiman's face turned deathly pale, and his heart was pounding in his throat.

If there are really good things here, that would be good. As long as Manager Wu intervenes, at least half of the goods can be returned, and the stolen rice and grain can be saved.

But if it's all just a bunch of cheap tricks, then our family will be left with no one to rely on along the way. And Manager Wu might even get angry and kick us out of the group!

"boom!"

The first box was smashed open.

Large piles of straw and stones rolled out.

"Holy crap! What are these things?"

Yu Tieniu cursed, "Jiang Chuan, didn't you say these boxes were a thank-you gift?"

After he finished speaking, he remembered what those people had said earlier. Jiang Ranran's foot was broken by Jiang Mianmian, and she didn't save those children at all. So, how could this thank-you gift be real?

Enraged, he picked up a stone and hurled it at Jiang Chuan, yelling, "Damn it, you made me happy for half a day!"
