Manager Lin didn’t delve into specifics, but he made no effort to conceal the support they had from influential figures in the capital, including the lords.
These words carried weight, particularly because the county magistrate was present.
Manager Lin’s presence was a clear endorsement of their cause. It sent a strong message that, in the future, no one in North Village would dare to hinder their business endeavors in the city.
As expected…
These words instilled fear in the villagers of North Village.
However, Gu Chaoyan remained composed.
The approval of the adults in the capital for the ginseng and dragon root would undoubtedly prove beneficial in the long run.
“Manager Lin, thank you; I understand,” Gu Chaoyan acknowledged. “Please enjoy your meal, and we can continue our discussion afterward.”
While Gu Chaoyan was familiar with Manager Lin, the identities of the other two individuals eluded her. Nevertheless, she extended polite greetings, recognizing that those in Manager Lin’s company held a respectable status.
Without any indication from Manager Lin, Gu Chaoyan refrained from probing further. Instead, she maintained a courteous demeanor.
“Feel free to proceed; our main purpose here is to partake in your family’s subsequent banquet,” Manager Lin stated with a smile.
Gu Chaoyan returned to her duties.
Following this exchange, Gu Chaoyan remained calm, but anxiety gripped the villagers of North Village.
Observing the county magistrate’s apparent indifference, Yan Danqiu speculated on the connections he might have. The realization dawned that the county magistrate might not only have ties with him but could also hold influence with officials in the capital. The implications were unsettling, leaving them in a state of fear and confusion.
Fortunately, Third Yan’s family was spared from bullying.
It became apparent that the county magistrate had played a role in facilitating the adoption, explaining his earlier assertion that it wasn’t a challenging process. The county magistrate had already taken steps, potentially making the ownership transfer less cumbersome.
Internally, they wanted to voice their frustrations.
The current atmosphere was subdued, with everyone eating cautiously.
Land Officer’s complexion shifted to a shade of green.
In the prevailing circumstances, his position looked unfavorable.
The capabilities of the Yan family surprised him.
He shot an irritated look at Old Man Yan, holding him responsible for the hostilities with Third Yan’s family. If not for them, Land Officer wouldn’t have found himself in this adversarial situation.
His dissatisfaction with Old Man Yan knew no bounds. He harbored resentment, convinced that their misfortune was a direct result of Old Man Yan’s actions.
Old Man Yan, at this point, had withered completely, clueless about the unfolding dynamics.
It seemed apparent that the people from their old house not only failed to seize the coveted 15 acres of land but were also denied a share of the newfound glory.
Presently, everyone seated had divergent thoughts.
The Jiang family, in particular, found it hard to sit still. They abandoned their meals, and a few discreetly left.
Their purpose?
To inform Jiang Caixiu’s family.
As a scholar, if Jiang Caixiu could establish a connection with the county magistrate, his future career prospects would undoubtedly be smoother.
The prospect of Jiang Caixiu attaining an official position held the promise of better lives for those with the surname Jiang.
After the banquet, everyone immersed themselves in their own contemplations.
In contrast, the Tian family adopted a more pragmatic approach.
They focused on practical actions, such as adding more dishes to Manager Lin’s table, without overthinking the situation.
Gratitude played a significant role. Tian Jiu’s improved life was indebted to Danqiu’s family, and they were more than willing to reciprocate the favor.
Danqiu’s family, in turn, remembered the Tian family when benefits arose. For instance, if they acquired a carriage, they could allow Tian Jiu’s brothers to learn from it, creating opportunities for mutual assistance in the future.
For the Tian family, this newfound reality felt like a dream. They had unexpectedly found themselves leading a much-improved life.
Meanwhile, a considerable number of people from the Jiang family were present.
