During this time, Xiao Nan spent all his time in the fields, his skin became tanned, but his eyes became bright and piercing.

The old woman was heartbroken. She asked Jiang to buy a slaughtered chicken from town to make soup for Xiao Nan. She treated her like a woman in confinement, taking great care of her, afraid that she would get sick from exhaustion.

Xiao Nan is now just hoping the crops will ripen soon.

Everything is difficult at the beginning. Once she got off to a good start, she had nothing to do. With Wang Feng around, she had no worries at all.

Xiao Nan lay back in the recliner, comfortably sipping the tea her grandmother had brewed for her, humming a cheerful tune.

Without realizing it, I thought of Meng Fei. He's been gone for over four months, and I haven't heard from him at all. He must have run into trouble. I felt incredibly helpless, unable to do anything.

Just then, the gate to the courtyard of the house rang. The old woman put down what she was doing, but did not go over. She just asked softly.

"Who?"

The person outside the door coughed softly and spoke in a fawning tone.

"I am me, I am the village chief."

The old woman's face immediately darkened: "What is it?"

"Can you open the door first?"

"No, I'm afraid you'll steal my family's money."

"No, it won't happen again, it won't happen again in the future."

"Then we won't open it."

“Mrs. Wang, I have something to say to you.”

"What's there to say between a man and a woman alone together? You can leave now."

The village chief stood outside the door, his hands clenched into fists. He wouldn't have been so humble if he didn't need her help.

"I heard your daughter bought that wasteland at the back of the village?"

"Hmm, but what does that have to do with you?"

Do you need more manpower?

"No, my girl wouldn't dare hire anyone from our village. Who would dare hire someone who's always scheming and trying to harm her? Besides, we've already filled all the positions."

"you!"

"What? The law doesn't say that you'll break the law if you don't use it. You just don't use it."

"Good, good, good, good, you Wang, I think you've gotten so much money that you've forgotten who you are. Don't forget, your husband is a member of the Ji clan, and you are a member of the Ji clan."

"So what? I only know who's good to me, and that's how I'll be good to them."

“How can you be buried in the Ji clan’s ancestral tomb if you continue to be so stubborn? If you continue to be so obstinate, I, the clan head, will open the ancestral hall and erase your name from the genealogy.”

"You've threatened me with this time and time again?"

The old woman suddenly stood up, picked up the basin of water used for washing vegetables in the yard, rushed over, opened the door, and splashed it out.

The village chief was instantly drenched. He stared blankly at Wang, unable to believe she would do such a thing.

The old woman steadied her back and pointed at the village chief with her finger, speaking angrily.

"Good deeds will be rewarded and evil deeds will be punished. If you don't want the Ji family's ancestral graves to be dug up by the heavens, then keep causing trouble."

The village chief suddenly snapped out of his daze and saw that Wang was wearing a gold bracelet, a gold hairpin in her hair, and gold earrings hanging from her ears. Looking closer at her fair face, he thought that his wife was gone and it was time for him to remarry.

The old woman noticed the strange look in his eyes, so she immediately took a few steps back, closed the courtyard gate, and felt her heart pounding, as if she were being watched by a wolf.

She returned to the table and sat down, picked up the needle and tried to continue working, but felt irritated and couldn't continue.

After spending a lot of time with the girl, I tell her everything.

"Nan'er?"

"Ok?"

"The village chief knows you bought the land and wants you to arrange for people from our village to work there."

"Let him dream on."

"He, he, he stared at me for a long time, and I, I was a little scared."

"Don't worry, you don't usually go out. You have Juanjuan and Fengfeng at home, as well as Quan and Bao. If they dare to come, they'll bite them to death."

The old woman patted her chest, feeling somewhat flustered. She got up and went to the kitchen, intending to prepare lunch ahead of time.

Xiao Nan opened his eyes and stared at the murderous aura emanating from the courtyard gate. The village chief was utterly shameless, actually setting his sights on the old woman.

His grandfather was a brother to him, and he actually had inappropriate thoughts about his brother's wife. It's disgusting.

Xiao Nan closed her eyes. She would never allow such a person to live another day. His existence meant that Grandma's reputation would be damaged, that Grandma would be fantasized about every day and every moment, and that Grandma was in danger.

"Longlong?"

"exist!"

"Torture him using every method you can, until the moment he dies."

"Yes, he shouldn't have been alive long ago."

Longlong could sense its master's anger; it would never let this person go.

It darted out and saw the village chief walking home, with Longlong following behind him. It didn't rush to attack, wanting to see what he would do and say when he got back.

The village chief changed his clothes, sat cross-legged on the kang (a heated brick bed), and started smoking.

At this moment, his eldest son entered the room and gave him an awkward smile: "Father, I know that the matchmaker has come to discuss marriage. Mother has only been gone for less than a year, and you are already remarrying. Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

The village chief glared at him: "My affairs are none of your business."

“Father, the woman the matchmaker mentioned has two children. Our family is already struggling, and if we help her raise two more children, things will only get worse.”

The village chief snorted: "Who said I was going to remarry her?"

"So, who would you like to continue with?"

What do you think of that Wang woman?

"Which Wang family?"

"Duh, it's the one at the end of the village."

His eldest son was stunned after hearing this, then suddenly roared, "Father, are you out of your mind? Anyone who gets involved with her family is doomed! Mother died because of her family, why are you so fixated on her? Have you gone mad?"

The village chief snorted coldly: "That was punishment because someone wanted to harm her family. I just want to marry her. Marrying her is also good for her, so she won't feel lonely and empty without a man by her side. What do you think?"

"Father, have you lost your mind? This is impossible! Her husband is your brother, how could you do this?"

"Why not? She has no children and is now very well-fed and delicate, looking like she's in her early thirties. She's adorned with gold and silver, and her life is getting better and better. If she comes with me, our family's life will be much better. What do you think?"

His words stunned even his eldest son; he wasn't as foolish as the village chief.

The eldest son trembled with anger: "Father, wake up! Wang Shi hates you so much. She's been faithful to her husband for so long. So many matchmakers came to persuade her to remarry, but she chased them away. She stayed even when we were poor. Now that things are better, don't even think about it. Father, can't we live a good life together?"

“Shut up. I have to think about my people. That brat secretly bought so much land and hired so many farmhands, all from other villages. She doesn’t want a single one from our village. I can’t just stand by and watch.”

"You still can't make a move on her, or you'll be in trouble."

"You dare to curse your father? I don't believe it! I was doing a good deed for my people, how could I be punished? I don't believe it, I don't believe it!"

"But they don't want to."

“She has no choice. If I catch her going out alone, I’ll make it a done deal. She’s mine in life and in death. I don’t believe she dares to die. If she does, how will she face the dead man?”

The village chief was nearly insane at this point; his face was twisted like a demon.

"Then how will you face Wang and her husband after you pass away?"

"You, get out of here! Get out!"

At this critical moment, the village chief suddenly covered his eyes and screamed in agony, blood flowing from his hands, which frightened his son into screaming loudly.

"Someone come quick! Father, Father, what's wrong with you?"

"My eyes, my eyes, ah, it hurts, they're gone, they're gone, my eyes are gone."

When the village chief's family arrived at the main house, the village chief was already writhing on the ground in pain, with blood everywhere.

He kept screaming, "I was wrong, I was wrong, I shouldn't have tried to take advantage of the Wang family, I'll never do it again, I'll never do it again, please forgive me, please forgive me."

His family members stood frozen in the house, staring blankly, not knowing what to do.

Suddenly, a strange smell wafted over, and the village chief's body burst into flames.

Upon seeing this, everyone inside screamed and rushed out of the house, forgetting about putting out the fire, their faces pale as they stared at the roof.
