Chapter 161 Crocodile Tears
Is this really the case?
Everyone was wavering in their hearts. It was hard for them to be like Chief Jiang, who had a strong sense of conviction and believed that Jiang Anning was not self-disciplined and had an affair with Jiang Wei without a matchmaker. She even plotted to murder her fiancée's family in order to live with Jiang Wei...

Jiang Anning looks like an honest person, doesn't he seem like such a cruel person?
Seeing that they didn't believe him, Chief Jiang was furious: "Otherwise, why don't you tell me why Jiang Wei suddenly disappeared without a word!"

"And you left us with such a mess?"

"Isn't it because you are angry with Jiang Anning?"

Several people looked at each other, unable to figure out what the connection was.

Chief Jiang was extremely angry when he saw how stupid they looked and how they couldn't even understand such a simple truth.

With this kind of brain, he still has the nerve to come here and boss him around based on what happened in the past!

I simply don’t know what to say!
However, thinking of his plan in his mind, Chief Jiang was patient, suppressed his anger, and explained his speculations and analysis to the others as carefully as possible.

"Think carefully, who first proposed the idea of ​​raising silkworms?"

Several people looked at each other. Although they were somewhat unhappy with the attitude of Chief Jiang, they still asked in unison when asked, "Jiang Anning?"

"Now, Jiang Wei, who promised to help us hire someone to teach us how to raise silkworms, has run away, leaving us with a mess. We were urged to raise silkworms to make a lot of money, but in the end we didn't make a penny. Instead, we were blackmailed for 200 taels of silver. Who would we want to settle the score with first?"

"Jiang Wei..." Several people said without thinking.

Chief Jiang was so angry that he wanted to pry open these people's heads to see what was inside!
It's hopelessly stupid!

Chieftain Jiang took a few deep breaths and forced himself to calm down. Now was not a good time to break off relations with these people. Otherwise, if they really got the chance, they would fight to the death and dig up his past affairs. That would be terrible!

"Fuck Jiang Wei!"

Chief Jiang said angrily: "The one who started it should be Jiang Anning!"

"The one we should blame is Jiang Anning, the one who started the trouble!"

"If she hadn't been such a talkative, incompetent person who boasted and exaggerated, how could we have been fooled by her and let Jiang Wei find someone who raised silkworms, and finally be left with such a mess to clean up?"

"If not, why would everyone ask her for damages and compensation?"

"Isn't it because the cause and the guilt of the incident all lie with Jiang Anning?"

Several people were confused: They asked Jiang An Ning for money to settle the matter, wasn’t it because... Jiang An Ning was easy to bully?

And they didn't dare to offend that adult, so without the Zhao family to take the lead and do what that adult had ordered, they could only take action themselves and put pressure on Jiang An Ning, making her restless and committing suicide in despair.

If Jiang An Ning had not committed suicide in despair at the age of 25, they would have been the ones to die.

But we can't let Jiang Anning die before the age of 25.

It is up to them to strike the right balance.

Otherwise, they will not be able to escape death.

Several people looked worried, fearing that they would inevitably die in the future.

At the same time, I was also surprised and confused: How come Old Jiangtou seemed to have said so many things against his conscience that he even deceived himself?

Could it be that he really thought that Jiang Anning was at fault?
Can't you?
Are there really people who are so stupid that they need brain supplements?
Yes, that’s right, they did join in scolding Jiang Anning.

But that was all pretend!
Could it be that Old Jiangtou is sincere?

It doesn't look like he's pretending.

But on second thought, this old thief was the one who lured those black iron masked men into the village back then, and took the opportunity of cooking to drug everyone in the village, causing them all to lose their resistance. They didn't even have a chance to struggle before being captured.

If not...

The faces of several people darkened. If it were not for this, they would not have been so frustrated as to betray their brothers and the village chief's family, and live in this small Jiangjia Village, pretending to be good people.

The village chief and his men would not lose their lives so easily.

The village chief had been kind to them before!
They have always felt guilty for not being able to collect the body of the village chief.

Thinking of this, their hatred towards Chief Jiang increased even more.

My mind became more determined: Old Jiang, we can’t keep you here!
Patriarch Jiang did not feel the disdain of the others towards his words and actions.

In his opinion, we are all equally dirty, so why should we dislike each other and think that the other person is unclean?

Where does the disdain come from?

He continued to analyze confidently: "That's why Jiang Wei couldn't bear it anymore and left such a mess behind, just to wait for us to settle accounts with Jiang An Ning. He is using a knife to kill someone!"

Chief Jiang sneered: "He is really calculating!"

"But we know that we are being used as a knife, and we can do nothing about it. We can only follow their wishes and go to Jiang Anning to say that we hate it!"

"Jiang Wei has achieved his goal. I think Jiang Anning will never have the nerve to bother him again."

Chief Jiang snorted: "Aren't we just thinking about finding another family for Jiang An Ning now?"

"Maybe Jiang Wei has the same plan!"

"He is just thinking about hooking up with Jiang An Ning, and he doesn't want to take responsibility for her. After all, he is a young man from a rich family who came here to play. How could he possibly be interested in a country girl who has no parents and no family background? He is just greedy for temporary pleasure!"

Chief Jiang started to conspire: "If we can really find a marriage for Jiang An Ning, Jiang Wei will probably come back. If we act pitiful in front of Jiang An Ning and explain that there are reasons for this, with Jiang An Ning's willing brain, she will probably jump on him and become his mistress."

He used the most vicious mind and plotted against Jiang An Ning to the greatest extent.

"At that time, Jiang Wei will be able to get what he wants, win Jiang Anning's heart, and sleep with her for free, without having to take any responsibility. If he does it right, he can even kill three birds with one stone and let Jiang Anning's new husband's family get a handle on her."

"Even after the incident, Jiang Wei can use his background to threaten Jiang Anning's new husband's family and make them not dare to pursue anyone's responsibility!"

"But a normal person would never be able to stand being cuckolded!"

"Jiang Anning brought shame upon her new husband's family. How could they let her off so easily?"

"Even if you don't dare to do anything to Jiang Wei, can't you torture Jiang An Ning?"

Thinking of this, Chief Jiang couldn't help but laugh triumphantly: "I suddenly feel that if we can really find a marriage for Jiang An Ning, it might be better than what I imagined before. It might be better to spread the news that Jiang An Ning was misbehaving and having an affair with Jiang Wei without a matchmaker, thus ruining her reputation!"
-
Jiang An Ning didn't know that so many people were secretly thinking about her and staring at her. Even the Jiang clan leader and others, who had almost torn their relationship, were planning to arrange a marriage for her.

She carried the silver bills with her and went to Anjifang in the county town.

When the manager of Anjifang learned the purpose of the visitor's visit, he was overjoyed. He welcomed the visitor into the main hall like a bodhisattva and ordered someone to make a pot of the best tea.

When he saw the amount of silver notes that people wanted to donate, he was even more delighted. He ordered people to arrange a banquet so that he could entertain the donor properly.

Jiang Anning smiled and declined. "Don't bother. As long as you can put the money to good use and truly help those in need, it will be the greatest thanks to me for this donation."

The manager was very thoughtful. After a moment's thought, he asked tentatively, "I don't know your name, young lady? In the future, we will distribute the money to the people in Anjifang and exchange it for daily necessities and winter cotton clothes and quilts for the elderly and children. This will also let them know who to thank, who to write books and biographies for, and who to pray for day and night."

"Anjifang was built by the imperial court, and the imperial court sent people to maintain its operation. We should thank the imperial court. We are just doing our bit. Compared with what the imperial court has done, our contribution is really insignificant, and we are not worthy of such a reputation as writing a book and biography!"

Jiang Anning said some nice words: "If you must thank someone, please thank the court for always thinking of us ordinary people!"

"If we must pray for someone day and night, then please pray to God to bless our country with peace and prosperity!"

Jiang Anning spoke passionately, and looked like he didn't care at all about fame, wealth or status.

The manager was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes. He kept saying, "Good man, good man! I will remember you all my life and will never forget you, no matter where I go…"

Jiang Anning twitched his lips speechlessly.

I always feel that this doesn't sound like a good thing to say?

After forcing a smile and exchanging a few polite words with the person, he finally tore himself away from the heart-wrenching crying of the person.

After leaving Anjifang, Jiang Anning breathed a sigh of relief and met Aunt Fang, who had just finished selling meals with Sui Ran and was packing up her stall to pick her up.

Seeing her holding onto a pillar with a panicked look on her face, Die quickly dropped his stall and ran over, asking nervously and worriedly, "What's wrong? Did the manager of Anjifang give you trouble?"

Aunt Fang suddenly became furious and rolled up her sleeves as if she was ready to fight someone.

Jiang Anning said hurriedly, "No, no, it's not true. The manager didn't make it difficult for me."

"Not only did they not make things difficult for me, but they were very enthusiastic."

"It's just that you're too enthusiastic. You're smiling so hard that my face is almost frozen."

She is really not good at socializing.

Aunt Fang exclaimed, "So that's what's going on. I was wondering what's going on! You seem to be a very adventurous kid and have been out there for many years. How come you can't handle such a small situation?"

Sui Ran was also smiling faintly beside him.

Jiang Anning felt a little embarrassed. She simply had no experience in dealing with people.

But it is true...if life wasn't stressful, she would just stay at home and not see anyone.

Whether it was the huge psychological shadow left by the events of her past life, or her own weak character, she did not have the courage to deal with social interactions.

She only hoped to live a peaceful life for the rest of her life. After taking revenge, she could live in peace in a corner and lead a leisurely life, working from sunrise to sunset.

After returning from rebirth, she has been on high alert, not daring to relax for a moment, fearing that everything now is not real.

In fact, she still died in the snow where no one cared, her bones rotting...

Even if rebirth is true, in the end, she was just reborn, not a different person. She is still the same girl with a soft personality and not much brains. Facing so many unknown malicious intentions, the stalking of unknown forces, and the pushing and calculating of the mastermind behind the scenes, she has no idea where the end of all the hardships is.

Jiang Anning thought somewhat dejectedly: I really want to hide away, grow a thick, hard shell, wrap myself tightly, and never care about these worldly things again.

she……

I'm really scared and helpless.

"I think you should really follow Sui Ran and go out to hawk your wares. I guess you only need to deal with the owner of the embroidery shop and the one who sells the embroidery thread when you do embroidery work. This way, you will have less adventures. If you gain more experience, you should be fine."

Aunt Fang had no idea of ​​the anxiety and confusion in people's hearts. She just thought that people had not interacted enough with others and lacked experience. So she simply advised people to hang out with Sui Ran more often when they had nothing to do. The more they met people, the better they would naturally be.

Jiang Anning, a person with social phobia, came to his senses, suppressed the distress in his heart, and politely declined Aunt Fang's suggestion.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. It's so hot out here. Why don't we go eat some iced tofu first to cool off, and then wait for the oxcart to go back."

Jiang Anning's proposal was quickly unanimously agreed upon by both parties.

Jiang Anning, who was familiar with the county town, took people to a tofu pudding shop that had been in business for many years.

While waiting for the ice bean curd, Sui Ran said in a nonsensical way: "...When Zhou Ran saw us, he ran away. I don't know if he was feeling guilty."

"It must be!"

Aunt Fang was so angry: "This bastard, I will put him in a sack sooner or later and beat him up!"

Jiang An Ning thought of a few other people, who seemed very unfamiliar to her.

Seeing that the two were talking indignantly, she waited for a moment before interrupting: "...It feels like I haven't seen it before?"

After she said this, Aunt Fang and Sui Ran couldn't help but recall: "It seems to be true. We didn't see it very often in the past."

But it’s not something I haven’t seen before.

"It seems that they are a few families living in the west of the village, near the lower bridge. Normally, they don't seem to interact with the people in the village that much. When there is something going on in the village, they come and go from time to time. It's normal that you haven't seen them very often."

Aunt Fang thought about it carefully and said.

Jiang Anning still felt a little strange, but since Aunt Fang said so, she didn't ask any more questions. She nodded, and when the ice tofu pudding was served, she invited people to eat it.

On the soft white tofu pudding lay a few yellow and green glutinous rice balls, with a thin layer of osmanthus sprinkled on top.

It looks very appetizing!
The three of them were very satisfied with the meal, and took advantage of the coolness to sit in the store for a while.

Fortunately, at this time, the sun was bright and there were not many people coming and going on the street, and the store owners didn't mind them sitting in their stores.

He was also very easy-going and chatted with people about family matters.
