Ms. Doctor Divine

Chapter 2663: Mission 49

Editor: Henyee Translations

Not extending an invitation to the Yan family left their family with no potential benefits, causing a sense of dissatisfaction in Yan Tieniu’s heart. He yearned to reclaim a position superior to the Tian Family.

Eager to press the matter, Yan Tieniu prepared to voice his arguments.

However, Gu Chaoyan decisively turned away, leaving Yan Tieniu to grapple with his discontent. Auntie Lianhua, observing the scene, couldn’t help expressing her thoughts, “He’s truly shameless.”

Reflecting on the past and present attitudes of the Yan family from the old residence, Gu Chaoyan sighed, finding the situation troublesome.

The Yan Family’s fields and mansion were in close proximity, leading to frequent visits from individuals of the Yan Family’s old residence. Gu Chaoyan, wishing for peace, found the constant disturbances unbearable.

Despite initially considering distancing themselves, Gu Chaoyan couldn’t ignore the potential of the original five acres of Yan family’s medicinal field. The quality was exceptional, prompting her to purchase additional land to expand the estate.

Daily harassment from the Yan family’s old residence had become unsustainable.

After careful thought, Gu Chaoyan proposed a solution, “It’s not a significant issue. Once the wall is completed, I’ll hire some guards from the city. Those from the Yan Family won’t be able to cause trouble if they try to approach. We’ll spend some money on security.”

Auntie Lianhua instinctively wanted to reject the idea, deeming it extravagant. Hiring guards could be costly. However, she refrained from voicing her concerns aloud.

Danqiu was capable.

The Lin Family’s Pharmacy had plans to cultivate valuable herbs in the area, prompting a substantial offer of silver taels. While Gu Chaoyan didn’t necessarily require the extra income, her primary motivation was to ensure a comfortable life.

Auntie Lianhua, mindful of the financial aspect, chose to remain silent.

“It’s alright. Tian Liu, Tian Qi, and the others have their own affairs to attend to, and they were concerned about not being able to manage everything themselves. Hence, they opted to hire guards. That should suffice,” Auntie Lianhua explained.

Gu Chaoyan smiled, feeling a strong sense of camaraderie with the Tian family.

Things progressed busily for both Auntie Lianhua and Gu Chaoyan, while life continued for the rest of the villagers in North Village.

Jiang Caixiu returned to the village, surprising the members of the Jiang family. In the past, he would typically linger in the city for a while before returning to the village. This time, however, he came back promptly.

Upon seeing Jiang Caixiu, the expressions of the Jiang family members turned somewhat unpleasant. This year, expectations were high that Jiang Caixiu would advance to a higher level. Despite expressing their confidence, there was no tangible result, likely due to their pride preventing them from seeking external assistance.

Jiang Caixiu’s return caught them off guard.

“Why are you back, Caixiu?” Jiang Caixiu’s mother inquired, expressing concern. In the past, he would have stayed in the city, and she worried he might face criticism along the way. Her heart ached at the idea of talented individuals facing challenges.

Jiang Caixiu felt a tinge of annoyance, interpreting his mother’s inquiry as embarrassment. Despite his initial irritation, he responded, “You haven’t passed the exam. If I don’t come back, are you planning to wait in the city for the red robe?” His words carried a hint of sarcasm.

“That’s not what I meant, and you know it,” Jiang Caixiu’s mother clarified, and his expression softened in response. The previous tension stemmed from his frustration, and his mother had no intention of criticizing him for it.

When Jiang Caixiu thought of this, her tone became much better.

“If I don’t pass the exam, I’ll have to wait for another three years. I can’t wait anymore. Who knows if I’ll succeed or fail in three years?”
