CHAPTER 164: CHAPTER 164: THE VILLAGE CHIEF PAYS A VISIT

"If you don’t want to help, then don’t. Our Chunhua isn’t blind; next time, we’ll see how you help such an ingrate!" Chunhua’s mother said, pulling Chunhua away.

As Lin Chunhua was being pulled away, she didn’t forget to turn back and shout loudly, "Gu Nian, my mother has this kind of temper, she means no harm, please don’t take it to heart!"

Gu Nian: "..."

What kind of person is this!

No one was home, so Gu Nian took the opportunity to return to her room. She closed the door, lay on the bed, and her consciousness sank into the space.

Thinking about the three silkworms she placed in the space, the first place Gu Nian looked at was the mulberry tree.

However, what she saw shocked her.

The tree was covered with silkworm cocoons woven between its leaves and branches, and there were densely packed silkworms gnawing almost all the leaves off a perfectly good mulberry tree.

Gu Nian quickly collected all the cocoons and used her mind to create a small area here, preventing the moths that emerged from the cocoons from flying out. They could only remain on these enclosed mulberry trees.

After finishing all this, Gu Nian finally had the mood to study the cocoons.

She had raised a few silkworms before, but the feeling of holding the cocoons was quite different.

In her past life, the cocoons produced by the silkworms she raised were somewhat rough, whereas the ones in her hands now, though not yet spun, felt smooth to the touch.

Clearly, they were not of the same grade.

However, it wasn’t hard to understand.

After all, the silkworms had grown in the space, where the mulberry leaves were lush and thick, so it was normal for the cocoons to be better.

Tomorrow, I need to find an opportunity to ask Jing’er about where her silkworm cocoons were sold, otherwise, if left unattended, there will only be more small silkworms born.

When Mrs. Jiang returned, she asked Gu Nian what exactly happened with Lin Chunhua and Li Yue’er, and why people in the village were saying that their fight was started by Niannian.

Gu Nian calmly narrated the truth of the matter, immediately infuriating Mrs. Jiang.

"I used to think Chunhua’s mother was a good person, but now it seems she’s not a good thing at all!" Mrs. Jiang cursed.

To Gu Nian, whether she was a good person or not didn’t matter.

Anyway, everyone lived their own lives with little intersection.

Mrs. Jiang thought the same, but shortly after Lin Sanshui came home that evening, the village head arrived with Li Yue’er.

Upon seeing them, Lin Sanshui hurriedly greeted them, "Village head, do you have some business here?"

"Not really, just came by to check," Lin Feng said, chiding Lin Sanshui, "Sanshui, we are still brothers. Though I’m now the village head, I’m still your Brother Feng. You should continue to call me as you did before, don’t get distant just because of my title as village head!"

Lin Sanshui scratched his head, pondering the matter in his mind.

After all, as long as their family still lived in Taohua Village, they would inevitably have dealings with the village head, so they needed to maintain good relations.

"Then Brother Feng, you made a special trip here, is there something you need to talk to me about?"

"Not much really, you bought that slope, it’s benefitted the entire village. It’s not easy for everyone to earn extra money in their spare time. I came by to see you and to apologize on behalf of the villagers!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Sanshui was flattered, "Brother Feng, your words are too kind..."

While speaking, Lin Sanshui welcomed them into the house.
