With that, the teacher disappeared from where he was.
Jiang Ming raised his head and was about to say something when he realized that the teacher had already left. He could not help but mutter to himself, “This teacher is quite fast. I wonder if he can meet Xu Chuchu.”
As he thought about it, he headed toward the village chief’s room.
He had not heard the conversation between the village chief and Qiu Zeshen. He had to go back and listen to it again.
When he reached the room, he realized that the village chief seemed to have left. The room was extremely empty and there was no one there.
He was somewhat disappointed. Just as he was about to leave, he almost bumped into someone.
He looked up and saw that it was the village chief.
He could not help but be stunned for a moment. Then, he deliberately covered it up. “I wanted to talk to you about something. I didn’t expect you to be away. Now that I’ve bumped into you, it’s really great.”
“Jiu Zhu, what do you want to tell me?” the village chief asked with a smile. “Now that the wedding is over, I was just about to look for you and give you the Yellow Gall Grass. Why are you here all of a sudden? Did something happen in the village?”
“I don’t know.” Jiang Ming concealed the matter from earlier and immediately said, “I’m also here about the Yellow Gall Grass. I thought you had forgotten about this matter, so I came to remind you. After all, this Yellow Gall Grass is also the gift and proof of my marriage. If you don’t give it to me, I’d have concerns about whether I’m actually your son-in-law.”
His words were clear and logical, and there was nothing to doubt at all. However, the village chief no longer believed Jiang Ming.
He snorted coldly, “You’re probably here just for my Yellow Gall Grass, right? I said I’d give you the Yellow Gall Grass so that you can treat Chu Wanwan well. I didn’t expect that you would be cruel to Wanwan. You just wanted to use her to obtain the Yellow Gall Grass. You really opened my eyes.”
As he spoke, he took out a jade pendant from his pocket and threw it on the ground angrily.
This jade pendant was originally intended to be given to Jiang Ming. There was some spiritual energy in it.
As long as he absorbed the spiritual energy in it, his spiritual energy would also increase greatly.
He had originally wanted Jiang Ming to be the next village chief and protect Chu Wanwan. However, he had not expected Jiang Ming to be such a despicable person.
Jiang Ming looked at the broken jade pendant and said in a daze, “Why do you say that, chief? I don’t think I’ve ever said that I’m coveting the Yellow Gall Grass. I don’t have any thoughts about it in my heart. chief, you’ve really misunderstood me.”
He denied it, but his heart was somewhat panicked.
However, he also felt that if he did not admit it, he did not believe that the village chief would still suspect him.
“You and your companions want this Yellow Gall Grass, don’t you?”
The village chief looked at the seat beside him and sat down. He knocked on the table and said, “I don’t care if you’re after the Yellow Gall Grass or not. Since you’ve made me think that you have such intentions, you should leave this place. As for the young miss, I’ll explain it to her in detail. I’ll find her another husband. I don’t need you anymore. For the sake of our past relationship, I’ll let you off for now, but don’t think about causing any more trouble.”
In the end, the village chief picked up a cup of tea and calmly drank it.
If Jiang Ming had not heard that, he would have suspected that he was relaxing with the village chief.
Unexpectedly, Chu Wanwan suddenly walked over aggressively.
“Chief, what are you doing? Why did you say such things to Jiu Zhu? We’re already married, so we should live together. We shouldn’t let him be alone and let me become what I used to be!”
Seeing Chu Wanwan’s figure, the village chief was a little stunned.
Why did Chu Wanwan suddenly come over? Didn’t he send someone to keep an eye on Chu Wanwan? Where did that person go?
Unexpectedly, Chu Wanwan saw through his thoughts and said with a smile.
“Chief, you don’t think that a servant can send me away, do you? Although I grew up in this village and haven’t seen much of the world, I also know some things, and I know your personality best. No matter what, Jiu Zhu must stay in the village. If you insist on going against him, then you’re going against me.”
In the end, she even grabbed Jiang Ming and stood in front of him.
Jiang Ming was quite surprised.
He did not expect her to be so affectionate to him. She did not even hesitate to argue with the village chief time and time again for him.
After all, the village chief had raised her. If she could treat him like this for her, it was enough to show her sincerity.
The village chief had originally wanted to drink a cup of tea slowly, but when he saw this, he could not continue to be leisurely. He almost spat out the tea in his mouth.
His eyes were filled with helplessness and some anger. “I raised you on my own. Do you really want to go against me? In the end, Jiu Zhu is just an outsider. There are plenty of men like him. I can find many for you, but I’m afraid there’s only one like me.”
In the end, he could not help but roar.
He could not believe it.
Chu Wanwan had always been obedient and sensible. How did she become like this? What kind of bewitching drug did Jiang Ming give her?
No matter what, he had to chase him away.
He began to feel that Jiang Ming was a scourge. How bewitched was his daughter?
The image of a well-behaved young lady from a wealthy family was completely gone.
Chu Wanwan became nervous when she heard the village chief’s words. She quickly said, “You can kill me, but you can’t hurt Jiu Zhu. I’m willing to give everything I have. I just want him to live the rest of his life in peace.”
“Are you crazy?”
Hearing this, the village chief was so angry that he could not even speak gently.
He had once said that he did not want to treat Chu Wanwan like this. However, he could not help it.
He felt that she had gone crazy and there was no way to turn back. If he did not say anything, it would really be over.
“Yes, I’m crazy. Chief, you clearly know that I like Jiu Zhu. I’m really sad that you treated him like this. I hope that everything will be fine between the two of you. Did he do something wrong again?”
Hearing this, the village chief could not help but fall silent.
Jiang Ming felt that he should say something now, but he was stopped by Chu Wanwan, who had already expected it.
“Jiu Zhu, this is a conflict between me and the chief. Let me resolve it. Don’t interfere.”
Since things had come to this, Jiang Ming could not say anything more. He could only nod.
“Do you have to go to this extent with me? We weren’t like this before.”
The village chief let out a breath and tried to negotiate with Chu Wanwan.
