Chapter 175: It Has Started Over There

“Father, this…”

The Chief’s eldest son felt something was wrong and wanted to dissuade him.

Just as he was about to speak, his brother opened the door from his room and said in a deep voice, “Don’t bother yourself with Father and Mother’s problems anymore. We’re younger. We can’t get in the way of the elders’ matters.”

Their mother might tear up multiple layers of ground in An Clan Village in the future if she was not punished this time.

The eldest son was speechless.

What’s going on? My brother knows Father wants to divorce Mother, but he’s not dissuading him?

He looked back and forth at both parties before shaking his head, unable to understand the situation. In the end, he concluded that his mother must have offended his brother.

…

An Jiuyue was not done watching from the roof of the Chief’s house when Qian Jiyun wrapped his arm around her waist, ready to take her away.

She lowered her voice and asked reluctantly, “Where are we going?”

She did not want to miss this exciting scene. She wanted to see if the Chief would really divorce Aunt Kang.

“It has started over there,” Qian Jiyun reminded her.

How is watching people put on an act exciting? This Chief is worse than Old An and his family.

He sneered in his heart.

At the very least, that family does whatever they want. But everyone in this family has ulterior motives. I don’t believe that an old man in his fifties will divorce his wife because of an outsider.

He’s acting either for other people or for his family to see.

His two sons aren’t good people either. They would have done something to keep their mother’s mouth shut if they really cared for Jiuyue instead of waiting for something to happen and acting all shocked.

“Over there…”

An Jiuyue felt conflicted at the thought of Old An’s family. She wanted to watch the commotion on both sides.

However, the Chief would likely scare Aunt Kang and chase her away for a while, and everything would end. There would not be any fireworks here. She decided not to watch them any longer.

“Let’s go over there and see how things are,” she said.

Upon hearing that, Qian Jiyun held her as they left in a flash and flew towards Old An’s house in quick, light steps.

There was a huge commotion at Old An’s house. Ministry Councilor He wanted to seize An Heizhuang, who was crying loudly. However, his mother was resistant.

Women were willing to do anything for their children.

She rushed straight into the kitchen. When she came out again, she was holding a vegetable knife.

Lifting her chin, she positioned the knife by her neck.

“All of you, get lost! If anyone dares to take my son, I’ll kill myself here. All of you will end up in the county prison!”

She pushed the not-so-sharp blade towards herself as she spoke.

However, it was hilarious that despite the knife already piercing her flesh, there was not a single drop of blood.

The villagers who came to watch the drama stood in silence.

Is she serious? If she wants to threaten him, she should use a good knife, such as a machete, at least.

Ministry Councilor He was stunned by her actions. However, it was not because he was frightened but because he found her silly.

I can’t defeat someone as difficult as Qian Jiyun. But who is this woman? How dare she try to threaten me? I’m an official. Will a countryside woman intimidate me?
