Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Having been married to Jianghua for a long time, Jianghua’s wife had picked up his refined manners. She approached Shen Mo and politely asked, “Young man, what is your name? I am the wife of the second son of the Jiang family. My daughter has come of age, have you found a spouse yet?”

Shen Mo ignored her and went to Jiang Xia, “Need help? I can make them leave, their actions are wrong.”

Jiang Xia didn’t want owe Shen Mo’s a favor. People might talk behind their backs if she did.

Even if they wanted to punish these people, it should be the village chief’s job. But if they asked the village chief for help all the time, it would look like their family was always having problems. This wasn’t a big problem. They could solve it themselves.

However, although Jiang Xia did not dare to let Shen Mo to make them leave, she did not mind asking him for a small favor.

“There is no need to make them leave, but I would like to know, how would the public security department normally deal with such robbers?” Jiang Xia asked Shen Mo, pretending to be indifferent.

“They would be arrested and put in jail. That would teach them a lesson,” Shen Mo answered, agreeing with Jiang Xia.

Jiang Xia didn’t want people to know who Shen Mo really was. So, she didn’t ask what would happen to these robbers if they were in the army.

If people in the village knew Shen Mo was a soldier and was connected to her family, they might ask for help or talk about them.

“Why would they be arrested? Why would they go to jail?” Jiang Gui’s wife was the first to react. She looked scared as she tried to explain to Shen Mo, “We just came to visit our daughter-in-law. How does that have anything to do with jail?”

“We’re all family. Why say such hurtful things?” Jiang Hua’s wife also realized that things weren’t going well and tried to explain.

“Did you forget that we are not a family anymore? We live separately now. How are we suddenly a family again?” Jiang Xia said, coldly looking at Jiang Hua’s wife. Her words were sharp.

“What are you saying? Even if we are not a family anymore, your grandmother is still here. Shouldn’t the young respect the elder?” Jiang Gui’s wife tried to use this theory again.

This was simply moral kidnapping!

Jiang Gui’s wife talked for a while and then asked Shen Mo without waiting for Jiang Xia’s reply, “Young man, do you want a wife? My daughter is also old enough to marry. Would you like to meet her?”

Jiang Xia was just thinking about how to respond to Jiang Gui’s wife’s moral kidnapping, but she didn’t expect that in such a short time, she had set her sights on Shen Mo. How could Jiang Xia tolerate this?

“You just said Jiang Hong doesn’t need to worry about finding a husband. Why are you suddenly trying to find her one?”

“Listen…”

“Let’s be honest. It would be great if her daughter could find a husband. Not worrying about getting married? Now when she sees a young man, she wants him to marry Jiang Hong!”

Before Jiang Gui’s wife could finish, Li Xia interrupted her. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“What are you saying, old woman?”

“She’s not wrong about Jiang Hong’s looks.”

Jiang Xia’s words made the villagers laugh.

Everyone in the village knew that Jiang Hong not only had a bad temper, but she was also ugly.

Shen Mo didn’t care about what others were saying. He was only looking at Jiang Xia.

He was surprised that Jiang Xia could fight back so well.

Old Madam Jiang had been watching for a long time. Seeing that Shen Mo was good-looking and acted well, she didn’t want him to marry into another family!

“Young man, what does your family do? My granddaughters might not be pretty, but they’re nice and hardworking. If you marry them, they’ll take care of everything for you!”

“Mother, my Jiang Hong…” Jiang Gui’s wife, afraid that Shen Mo would be taken away by Jiang Hua’s wife, hurriedly called out to Old Madam Jiang.

“I know, I have it in mind.” Old Madam Jiang, seeing Jiang Gui’s wife in such a hurry, pulled her behind her and whispered.

But she didn’t like the way the Jiang Gui’s wife was acting..
