Chapter 2667: Mission 53

Editor: Henyee Translations

Jiang Caixiu’s mother’s reasoning resonated with those who overheard. The observation that individuals on the intermediate rankings were typically older was acknowledged—there were indeed few young achievers. Though Jiang Caixiu had faced failure, the uncertainty of the future remained. If he were to make it to the intermediate rankings eventually, the Jiang family’s prestige would endure. Sensing the potential consequences of mocking them during their low point, some opted to keep their opinions to themselves, albeit begrudgingly.

Despite an undercurrent of dissatisfaction, those harboring ill intentions refrained from teasing him. The disapproval of the Jiang family’s actions lingered, but they chose not to exacerbate the situation.

Jiang Caixiu’s mother, feeling a sense of vindication, resumed her somewhat arrogant demeanor. As she proceeded to the river to wash her clothes, she encountered Ms. Wang, confirming her decision to seek her out.

Upon reaching the river, she found Ms. Wang among the crowd. In the past, when trouble befell the Third Yan’s family, people avoided Ms. Wang. However, within a short span, everyone had flocked to her, leaving no vacant seats. Unperturbed, Jiang Caixiu’s mother approached with her basin.

Although a farmer’s wife washing clothes beside Ms. Wang expressed discontent, she reluctantly moved away with her basin. No one wished to incur the displeasure of Jiang Caixiu’s mother, considering the potential for her to become the mother of an official. Once the dissenter departed, Jiang Caixiu’s mother squatted down.

Ms. Wang, not particularly fond of her, furrowed her brows and expedited her washing. She was neither inclined to leave abruptly nor linger longer than necessary in the presence of Jiang Caixiu’s mother.

“I’m also washing clothes. I noticed that your family has hired some people to work. Why are you still toiling away?” remarked Jiang Caixiu’s mother, her words carrying a certain loftiness. She implied that, given her current status, she had no need to engage in manual labor for the benefit of farmers. She envisioned a lifestyle reminiscent of city women, free from such laborious tasks.

Ms. Wang, not appreciating the tone, responded, “Our family differs from your Jiang family. Ultimately, we are just an ordinary farming family. While we’ve sought assistance for certain tasks, we still need to manage our own responsibilities at home.” Her tone was teasing yet firm, revealing a sense of pride.

Aware of the previous rejection of the marriage proposal by the Jiang family, Ms. Wang acknowledged the condescension they had displayed towards farming families. She maintained her independence, content with her life choices and uninterested in further interaction with the Jiang family.

Attempting a softer approach, Jiang Caixiu’s mother leaned in and said, “Sister, don’t you think life in North Village is tiresome and meaningless? Living by tending to fields, one must strive for more. Imagine coming to the city, becoming the wife of a capital’s official—now that would be an interesting life.”

“…”

Undeterred, Jiang Caixiu’s mother continued, “The past misunderstanding that led to the broken engagement has now been rectified. The families are closer than ever, having overcome the discord.” frёewebηovel.cѳm

“Danqiu is young and inexperienced, but you’re different. You must weigh your options carefully. Working with the Lin Family’s Pharmacy is commendable, but how long will this arrangement last? If unforeseen events occur, who will safeguard your family? Reflect on what happened when Third Yan departed,” she urged.
