“Are you shameless?” Gu Chaoyan questioned directly. “What did you say in front of the Land Officer in the old house? You claimed not to care about the third branch of the Yan family, yet here you are stealing my clothes. Let’s be serious; this is theft and robbery. I could sue you.”

Yan Jinhua remained silent.

“Don’t act so confident. I won’t take legal action against you. Just go, or I won’t hold back.” Gu Chaoyan gestured with the stick in her hand.

Yan Jinhua lacked courage. Having just experienced a setback, she understood its impact and dared not challenge Gu Chaoyan. She hastily retreated.

Left alone was Yan Tieniu, who felt a twinge of irritation.

Yet, for some reason, Yan Danqiu had exhibited a change in temperament lately. Not only was she assertive, but she also seemed indifferent to her own well-being. It was unsettling.

After a brief consideration, Yan Tieniu swiftly made his exit.

With nothing left to witness in the third branch of the Yan family, the villagers dispersed.

Yan Danqiu led the others back, burdened by a headache. A lot had transpired in just one day since her departure, indicating that certain matters needed urgent attention.

“If something like this happens again, just let them be. When I return, I’ll handle it for you. Don’t take a loss,” Gu Chaoyan advised.

They were different from him; most of the time, they struggled to protect themselves. Thus, there was no need for them to stand up for her.

Danxia and Dandong admired their eldest sister, readily obeying her instructions. Disobeying her was out of the question.

Their eldest sister had truly impressed everyone today.

“Did everything go well?” Ms. Wang inquired, getting straight to the point.

“It went smoothly,” Gu Chaoyan replied promptly, presenting the silver. “I obtained two hundred taels each for the herbs and ginseng, totaling one thousand six hundred taels. Henceforth, the Lin Family will manage the herbs and ginseng. Since we have sufficient fields in the North Village, I’ll request Shopkeeper Lin to keep an eye on available shops and yards in the city. We might consider moving to the city in the future, simplifying our tasks.”

“…”

“However, we must proceed gradually to avoid future gossip affecting Danxia and Dandong’s marriage.”

“…”

“But since these matters will arise in my absence, let’s expedite discussions with Auntie Lianhua,” Gu Chaoyan suggested.

Ms. Wang nodded in agreement.

The actions of the clueless family members had been particularly assertive today.

The family savored the chicken soup solemnly, planning to retire early. Adoption discussions were slated for the following day.

Gu Chaoyan’s city snacks proved useful, and she set out early in the morning.

At Auntie Lianhua’s house, the family was busy skinning prey and preparing to sell the meat later. Upon spotting Gu Chaoyan’s family, Auntie Lianhua promptly halted her work to greet them.

“Why bring something?” Auntie Lianhua, known for her directness, questioned.

“I came today because I have something to ask of you,” Ms. Wang admitted, somewhat embarrassed.

“If you need help, just say it. Why bother with formalities?” Auntie Lianhua responded with a roar.

Gu Chaoyan stepped forward, sensing Ms. Wang’s discomfort and deciding to address the matter herself.

“Auntie Lianhua, this is a delicate matter, so we need to approach it formally,” Gu Chaoyan explained.
