Jiang Chuyue was standing close to him, and when she heard his laughter, she looked down and reached out to push him on the back, "What's so funny?" Her tone was full of dissatisfaction.

"I think these elders are really interesting. You just diverted the topic so easily. Now they can't bother you anymore, and they have to worry about their own troubles."

His gaze fell back on the excited villagers. They had been dissatisfied with the oppression of the Shen family in the past, but since every household had gone through the same thing, they didn't dare to do anything alone.

Now that there is someone standing ahead of them, even if the Shen family wants to cause trouble, they have to cause trouble for Jiang Chuyue first.

More importantly, when they were poor and had no food to eat, the Shen family did nothing. It was Jiang Chuyue who extended a helping hand. Although they had to go up the mountain to dig herbs, they did get enough food from Jiang Chuyue to allow the family to survive this difficult winter.

Some families even cook a small piece of meat during the New Year.

This was something they had never dared to imagine before, but now, everything is getting better under Jiang Chuyue's leadership, and now it is no problem for them to support Jiang Chuyue.

"The husband is the boat and people are the water. Water can carry the boat but can also capsize it." Jiang Chuyue also laughed in a low voice.

The Shen family's years of oppression of the villagers of Wanshan Village have long made everyone dissatisfied. This year's harvest is even worse and life is even more difficult. If Jiang Chuyue had not collected herbs in exchange for food, the problem would have been exposed long ago.

Jiang Chuyue had only slightly ignited everyone's emotions. The Shen family had been arrogant and domineering in Wanshan Village for many years, and now it was time for them to suffer a little.

How can a person be so lucky and have a smooth life? Especially when this kind of smooth life is imposed on others?

As the onlookers became more and more indignant, the elders wanted to punish Jiang Chuyue, but they did not dare to confront so many people. In the end, they could only watch Jiang Chuyue push Xiao Yihao and swagger out of the ancestral hall.

Before leaving the ancestral hall, Jiang Chuyue gave them a big gift.

"Sister Jiang, go and watch the fun." The entire Wanshan Village became restless because of Jiang Chuyue's words in the ancestral hall that challenged the authority of the Shen family.

Aunt Wang was watching the excitement outside, but she didn't expect that there was actually noise coming from the ancestral hall.

"But what's going on at the ancestral hall?" Jiang Chuyue finished speaking, and Aunt Wang raised her eyebrows. "Sister Jiang, you are really good at talking. There really is something going on at the ancestral hall."

"I won't go. I just went through so much trouble in the ancestral hall today. I don't know how much those elders hate me. They might want to peel off my skin when they see me. I won't go."

Jiang Chuyue took the dishes brought out by Aunt Zhang and placed them neatly on the table.

He took out chopsticks and distributed them to the people at the table.

Seeing that Jiang Chuyue really had no intention of going to watch the excitement, Aunt Wang turned to look at Aunt Zhang, and pulled her to watch the excitement at the ancestral hall.

Jiang Chuyue and Xiao Yihao didn't even blink when they saw this, but the two children spoke cautiously and anxiously, "Sister-in-law, is something going to happen in our family?"

"What are you thinking about!" Jiang Chuyue pinched Xiao Shuangshuang's nose and coaxed, "Nothing can happen to our family. If something happens to our family, Wanshan Village will be even more chaotic."

Although Jiang Chuyue's behavior of making a scene in the ancestral hall today seemed impulsive, it was well considered by her. Now she has successfully stirred up the villagers' dissatisfaction with the Shen family.

If the Shen family still took action against Jiang Chuyue at this time, resulting in no one in Wanshan Village doing grain business, and ultimately leaving the villagers with no way to survive, the Shen family would only be in a worse situation.

Because of this, the Shen family will not touch her in the short term.

Of course, it is also possible that there are indeed few smart people in the Shen family. Their brains have been damaged due to years of pampering. When the time comes, they will attack Jiang Chuyue without any care, and Jiang Chuyue will not be afraid.

"Hurry up and eat, or your eldest brother will snatch all the delicious food later." Jiang Chuyue picked up a big piece of meat with his chopsticks for each of the three children.

After the three children finished their meal, Wu Gang silently collected the dishes and left the space in the yard to Jiang Chuyue and Xiao Yihao.

"What exactly are you planning to do with this matter?" After the commotion in the ancestral hall today, Jiang Chuyue did not discuss it with Xiao Yihao, and even Xiao Yihao could not see through what Jiang Chuyue was planning to do.

"I'm not planning to do anything?" Jiang Chuyue looked back, her eyes open and clear, without any impurities.

"Wanshan Village has been completely messed up by you. The current situation is not something you can just refrain from intervening if you don't want to do anything." Xiao Yihao also felt a bit headache. Jiang Chuyue was a person who never did things according to the rules. Even though he had been with Jiang Chuyue for such a long time, Xiao Yihao never boasted how well he knew Jiang Chuyue.

"Then let's take it one step at a time. Anyway, we are definitely not the ones who are most anxious right now." Jiang Chuyue held her head with both hands, looking relaxed. It seemed that the turmoil outside had nothing to do with her.

If Xiao Yihao had not witnessed with his own eyes Jiang Chuyue causing a scene in the ancestral hall and disturbing the relatively calm waters of Wanshan Village, he would have suspected whether he had misunderstood Jiang Chuyue.

"The head of the Shen family is the village chief, Shen Rong. He seems to be easy to talk to, but his methods are much more powerful than those of the elders." Xiao Yihao did not ask Jiang Chuyue about her plan, but took the initiative to talk to her about some things about the Shen family.

"Wanshan Village originally had only a few families. Later, due to the refugees, more and more families came to Wanshan Village, and the number of families increased from about 20 to about 100 today. My parents met and got married in Wanshan Village after my grandfather fled there."

Jiang Chuyue listened carefully.

"The elders in the ancestral hall got to that position because of their high moral character and prestige, and Shen Rong was able to take the position of village chief because, firstly, there are many people in the Shen family, and secondly, because he is indeed quite capable."

Jiang Chuyue, who understood Xiao Yihao's implication, concluded, "In other words, those elders became elders because of their age?"

This could also explain why when Jiang Chuyue was causing a big commotion in the ancestral hall, the five people were no match for Jiang Chuyue and could only watch as she stirred up such a mess.

"The Shen family must have been paying attention to the opening of the ancestral hall, but they never showed up. Even after I made a big fuss, Shen Rong didn't show up. It seems that they are not simple."

Watching Jiang Chuyue take out a strange red thing from somewhere and put it into her mouth, Xiao Yihao watched for a long time and finally couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"What are you eating?"
