To be honest, when the Chief was lying on the roof of his house, watching the water levels rise continuously, he felt incredibly hopeless.
He was so grateful when he saw An Jiuyue and was secretly excited to be finally rescued.
However, when he noticed how all the people in An Jiuyue’s raft were the old, the won, and the young, he thought that it was important to rescue them first. The children were the future of the village.
anwhile, the won and the elderly did not know how to swim, so they had to be saved first.
“All of you talked about how you are the pillar of your family, with many family mbers relying on you for food. But in the end, all of you want to be the first to escape when there is danger. Many of you are sons, fathers, and husbands. How can you act like this?”
He was infuriated. None of these grown n could compare to a young woman like An Jiuyue. He was so speechless that he could only chastise them.
“You b*stards still have the cheek to complain about Jiuyue? Jiuyue left her two children behind and ca to save you! That’s already good enough! What else do you want?
“Did you all think that you’re so important to Jiuyue that she is obliged to save you? What are you going to do about it if Jiuyue didn’t co to save you and you’re swept away by the flood instead?”
That’s right. The treehouse that An Jiuyue lived in was far from the village. If she had not been paying attention to the situation in the village, she would not have been able to co down in ti to rescue them.
The only reason why An Jiuyue noticed the flood in ti and rescued them was because she genuinely cared for them.
“Husband, how can you say such things? It’s only right for An Jiuyue to co and save all of us! The people in our village have been taking care of her all these years.
“She would be an ingrate if she didn’t save us! Look at how you’re speaking of her so highly. You’ll let it get to her head!”
Aunt Kang was clearly unhappy to see her husband praise An Jiuyue highly.
She imdiately exclaid sourly, putting An Jiuyue down with her words.?I’m not going to let that young widow have it easy. Otherwise, that lass might even demand to stay inside our village.
An Jiuyue, that little b*tch, has the face of a vixen. If she moves into our village, she will taint countless n, especially my second son.
She’s living on the mountain now, yet he’s already awfully chard by her. I’m not going to let her leave the mountain and live in our village!
“Shut up!”
The Chief did not spare his wife either.
“Can you explain why I heard that Jiuyue ca to our house to look for yesterday? Hm?”
He was not aware of this at first. He found out from the village’s Junior Officer when they were on the raft together just now. He had sighed over the fact that they had been unable to transport all the village’s grain into the cave in the mountain.
“I…”
Aunt Kang’s face paled when she heard the Chief’s words.
“Why would you hear that? No, there’s no such thing.”
There was no way she was going to admit it. She denied it but guilt was written all over her face. She was determined to keep this from him. Unfortunately, she was unaware that the more desperate one wanted to hide sothing, the more likely it would be exposed.
“Chief, I know about this.”
