Yan Danqiu brought Danxia back, attracting the attention of many onlookers who treated it like a spectacle.

“Danqiu, the Jiang family canceled your engagement. You’ll need to marry again, right? Tell me what kind of person you like, and I’ll find a suitable match for you,” a meddler inquired. “If you can’t marry Scholar Jiang, consider marrying a young man from our northern village. Your family owns so much land and medicinal fields. If you bring these with you, everyone will have to provide for you. You won’t have to worry.”

Gu Chaoyan frowned and replied, “No need,” before leading Danxia away.

She was genuinely weary of such speculations.

Even in a less advanced world, things wouldn’t be as backward.

With the failed attempt of the old house members to seize the fields, it was likely that the villagers in the northern village would now be eyeing their land.

In that case, a new plan was necessary.

It might not affect her much, but Danxia and Dandong couldn’t bear the consequences.

She needed to come up with a solution.

Gu Chaoyan returned with a troubled expression.

At the Yan family’s old house, First Yan and Second Yan expressed their dissatisfaction. “Dad, what’s happening? After Third Brother left, those belongings were divided among us brothers. Why did you leave them for those useless people?”

“Why shouldn’t they have a share? Don’t you understand? We need to reclaim the fields. Didn’t Third split up? If those good-for-nothings refuse, can you still seize it? Make them willing if they’re unwilling. If they resist, force them into agreement. Can’t they use their brains to figure something out?” Old Man Yan scolded.

“…”

“Don’t they realize they can’t live well without our support? Let them suffer. Convince those few people to exert more pressure. After intimidating them for a few days, they’ll naturally come back. By then, they might even take the initiative to hand over the fields. Won’t they still be ours?” Old Man Yan looked at his sons as if they were clueless.

If it weren’t for his son, he would have scolded them earlier.

First Yan and Second Yan suddenly saw the light.

Why hadn’t they thought of such a method?

“Father, we understand. We’ll handle it now. In less than three days, we’ll definitely make them surrender and reclaim the land,” First Yan declared.

“Go ahead,” Old Man Yan replied and continued drinking.

Ever since their Third Brother separated from the family, their life had been thriving, but the days in the old house were becoming worse.

Fortunately, things were gradually improving.

Once they got the land, Jiang Changxiu would willingly marry Damei.

With the addition of a field in the old house, life was improving.

After settling the affairs of those girls, Third’s house could be vacated. The old couple could leave, saving them the trouble of squeezing in here.

Old Man Yan still held high hopes for the future.

As for Yan Danqiu, she returned with Danxia.

However, she sensed that things weren’t proceeding as smoothly as expected, prompting her to devise alternative plans.

In the North Village, only sons were acknowledged, and without a male in the house, all eyes were on them.

Gu Chaoyan didn’t consider it a significant issue, but she knew the necessity of finding a solution.

She called Mother Yan and Dandong out, and they began to discuss.

“What happened outside?” Ms. Wang asked.

“The people from the old house want our land, but I refused. Now we’ve asked the Land Officer to be our witness, so we can keep the land, and the people from the old house won’t bother us anymore,” Gu Chaoyan explained truthfully, choosing not to mention the annulment issue to spare Ms. Wang’s feelings.
