Chapter 171 Prophecy
Jiang Anning looked at him with some surprise. Seeing that Sang Nanshan still had a lingering anger on his face, she couldn't help but pretend to be kind and advised him, "You don't have to agree to me just to get angry with your brother."

She showed a little disappointment: "After all, what your brother said is not wrong. What I am going to do is indeed not a good thing."

In Sangnanshan's eyes, this look was that of a woman whose parents had died early and who was left alone and helpless. Now, due to unavoidable reasons, she had to pick up the butcher knife and her hands were stained with blood.

It must be the evil people in this village who did something to her!
Sang Nanshan felt even more firmly that his brother was too prejudiced and stubborn in looking at people, which was really biased!

"No, I've thought about it. I'll help you!"

He pursed his lips: "I believe you must have your reasons for doing this!"

There are compelling reasons.

Sang Nanshan's gaze moved to Jiang Anning's face and he was distracted for a moment.

How could a woman who seemed to be living a peaceful life like this have any bad intentions?
Even if you do something bad, how bad can it be?

I'm afraid that even if you step on an ant to death, you'll feel like you've done something bad.

What's more, she is most likely Aunt Jingwan's daughter and the savior who can solve their clan's difficulties.

The more Sang Nanshan thought about it, the more determined he became to help Jiang Anning.

Jiang Anning slightly curved the corners of his lips, not knowing whether this man was really stupid or just pretending to be stupid.

"Well... okay." She agreed reluctantly.

"However, you'd better discuss this with your brother."

Jiang Anning looked at Sang Donghai who was still full of anger across from him: "After all, you two brothers have always been together before. Now you go your separate ways just because of a disagreement. It's a pity."

"Not to mention, the villagers have always been eyeing your brothers' families covetously. Previously, you two worked together and supported each other, and were unable to defeat them one by one. Naturally, they could not do anything to you."

"But now..."

Jiang An Ning paused deliberately: "You surrendered to me and agreed to work for me, but your brother was unwilling. If the villagers knew about this, they would try every means to win you over, and they might even threaten your brother to work for them."

"By that time, you brothers, even if you don't become enemies, will be in an awkward situation."

Jiang Anning sighed in mock sorrow: "This kind of scene is definitely not what I want to see, but I have things I have to do... I can't turn back."

There was a look of disappointment in her eyes, as if she had really been forced into a desperate situation and had no choice but to fight back.

Sang Nanshan, who had just been a little shaken by the words "brothers turned against each other", instantly became firm again: "A man should never regret what he has said!"

"Since I promised to help you, I am naturally fearless."

Sang Nanshan pursed his lips, and when he looked at Sang Donghai, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken: "If my brother insists on being stubborn, it only means that our relationship...is over!"

It turns out that he wants to sever ties with someone.

Sang Donghai looked at him in shock, full of disbelief.

What kind of drug has this bastard been fed?
The vicious woman's abacus beads were clearly clacking, but this bastard seemed not to be able to hear it...

Sang Donghai was so angry, how could he have such a stupid brother!

However, he was the one who brought up the child, and he was the only son in his second uncle's family. Two years ago, his second uncle fell off a cliff while trying to save his father and third uncle, and never was seen again. Third aunt was heartbroken and bedridden, and could die at any time.

If he can't bring the person back safely, then he doesn't need to go back and can just die as a token of his guilt!

Sang Donghai looked at Jiang Anning and found that he was looking at her leisurely, with confidence.

This vicious woman!!

Sure enough, what I just said was said deliberately for him to hear!
Those words were clearly a reminder to him that if he didn't work with that idiot Sang Nanshan and help her, the villagers would not give him the chance to leave safely.

Once those mosquitoes and flies learned that there was a rotten gap between the brothers, they would immediately swoop over and eat one of them clean.

To win over? Oh, imprisonment and coercion is more like that...

Sang Donghai looked at Jiang Anning with some fear. This woman must have seen through his thoughts and knew that he would never really abandon Sang Nanshan and leave alone, let alone associate with the bad people in this village.

So……

If he doesn't want to be eaten away bit by bit by the people in this village, even if he doesn't want to associate with this woman, he has to associate with her out of consideration for Sang Nanshan!

Not to mention, Sang Nanshan has now been bewitched by this woman and has lost his mind, even saying something like breaking off relations with him.

Sang Donghai clenched his fists, then loosened them weakly.

He looked at Jiang Anning: "What is your purpose?"

This woman, who went to great lengths to alienate the brothers, must have some unspeakable secret?

Only a fool like Sang Nanshan would think that this woman is a good person.

"My purpose has been made very clear before."

Jiang Anning saw that Sang Donghai had understood what she had just said, but was unwilling to give in and was still making a final struggle. So she repeated her previous words slowly, "You two are from a silkworm-raising family in Huzhou. You have made a living by raising silkworms and reeling silk for generations. I need your skills to raise enough cocoons for me as quickly as possible."

She smiled and said, "Actually, I don't really care whether you two are willing to teach me everything you know. After all, I don't plan to make a living from this."

"If you two are willing to teach me your skills, I will gladly accept them. However, if you are unwilling, or if you want to keep some of your skills to ensure your family's status and business, I don't mind."

"Besides, you two both know that raising silkworms is not that profitable."

"Otherwise, how could there be the saying 'Those dressed in silk and satin are not the ones who raise silkworms'?"

Jiang Anning smiled and said, "All I need is your skills. I need you to do your best to raise enough silk cocoons for me."

She looked at Sang Donghai with a hint of meaning.

Sang Donghai suddenly felt a chill on his back.

This woman...

He just said that if he was unwilling to help her together with Sang Nanshan, the people in the village would definitely not let go of him, who was a hot commodity in their eyes. They would definitely have evil intentions and might even imprison him and enslave him to produce for them.

But looking at it from another angle, if the villagers can do such a thing, why can't this woman do it?
It was hard for him not to suspect that if he did not agree to Jiang An Ning now, she would still imprison him, force him, and enslave him to do things for her, and it was even possible that she would threaten him with Sang Nanshan's life!
After all, Sang Nanshan had obviously fallen into someone's trap and was completely convinced by this woman's lies!
But a large number of silkworm cocoons...

Sang Donghai thought of a possibility, frowned, and became alert: "What do you want so many cocoons for?"

There are very limited places where ordinary families can use silkworm cocoons.

Even if you want to make two silk quilts to save up for your daughter's dowry, you won't need a lot of money.

Jiang Anning... She can't be saving up for a dowry, right?

"Don't worry about what I want to do with the cocoons."

Jiang Anning smiled faintly: "Of course I have my uses."

Sang Donghai's heart sank instantly.

Could this woman really be Aunt Jingwan’s daughter?
Could it be that the clan’s prophecy is really going to come true?
"I……"

Sang Donghai wanted to refuse, but when he saw Sang Nanshan's face full of anger and anxiety, he swallowed the words back silently.

"I need to think about it again."

We can’t give up on our silly brother, he needs to be saved.

Ugh!
Sang Donghai sighed, feeling very worried.
