Wang Jinhe looked at him with a somewhat speechless expression as he appeared to take it for granted.
“Why don’t you just say you intend to go after them directly,” Wang Jinhe said impatiently.
“If you’re not afraid of them causing trouble, I don’t mind,” Su Yu said with a sly smile as she looked at Wang Jinhe.
Old Lady Wang shook her head helplessly and said, “Alright, you two, do what you need to do. There’s no need to get involved with people like them.”
“Do you hear that? Grandma has spoken,” Wang Jinhe said without reservation, glancing at Su Yu.
“Okay, I’ll listen to grandma,” Su Yu agreed on the surface, but only he knew what he was really thinking.
“Don’t be two-faced,” Wang Jinhe said bluntly, giving Su Yu a look.
“Do I look like that kind of person?” Su Yu asked.
Wang Jinhe smiled at Su Yu and said, “You’re not just like that, you are exactly like that. Some things in the village can’t be handled the way you do things in the city.”
Su Yu frowned, feeling a bit displeased, but she still had to listen to Wang Jinhe. “Alright, I’ll go along with what you say.”
Just as Wang Jinhe was about to say something more, Su Yu spoke up, “I won’t do anything as long as they have a little self-awareness and stop causing trouble. Otherwise, I will take action.”
“Okay.” If these people still wanted to act recklessly despite everything, she wouldn’t even try to stop Su Yu.
Su Yu was finally satisfied and thought about the matter of the marriage. “I’ll write a letter to my grandfather and ask him to come over.”
“Huh?” Wang Jinhe didn’t react immediately. Why was Su Yu suddenly bringing this up?
“We’re going to arrange a marriage, and for now, I don’t want to tell my parents. Can I have my grandfather come over?” Su Yu asked Wang Jinhe seriously.
Arranging a marriage was a big deal, and he couldn’t let anyone find even the slightest reason to attack Wang Jinhe.
“Okay,” Wang Jinhe nodded in agreement.
Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief; he didn’t want to see his parents right now, and he didn’t even want to go back home, let alone have people come for an engagement ceremony.
“I haven’t experienced the things you have, and I don’t have the right to say much. I just want to tell you that in life, you should avoid doing things that will make you regret,” Wang Jinhe said seriously as he looked at Su Yu.
Su Yu nodded with a smile, “I know what I’m doing, don’t worry.”
“Alright.”
That evening, Su Yu sent a message back to Yuanbao, asking him to inform Su Xi about this matter.
As news about making money by growing melons spread, some families in the village who hadn’t helped or had even tried to hinder them began to approach.
…..
Several families looked at Wang Jinhe and thought about how they had behaved before. They didn’t know what to say for a moment.
Back then, they didn’t want trouble; they just watched from the sidelines. Now, seeing Wang Jinhe, they all felt a bit uneasy.
“Do you have something to say?” Wang Jinhe frowned and asked the few people who were pushing and shoving and not speaking.
What was the purpose of these people coming here? Were they just here to be bystanders?
“Jinhe, you see… you’re planning to make money by growing melons with a group of people, right? Can you take us along too?” one of them cautiously said with a pleading tone.
Upon hearing this, the others looked at Wang Jinhe with anticipation. Seeing them like this, Wang Jinhe didn’t know how to respond.
Seeing Wang Jinhe’s hesitation, the person who spoke earlier continued, “Xiaohe, you only said you wouldn’t bring those people who once forced you into a life-or-death situation. But you never said you wouldn’t bring us to make money, right?”
They hadn’t actually done anything, so could Wang Jinhe really be angry with them? Besides, so many years had passed since that incident, and she and the child were fine now. It wouldn’t be fair to hold it against them, would it?
The more they thought about it, the more they believed it. They exchanged glances with each other and then looked at Wang Jinhe. “Jinhe, you see, we weren’t involved in that whole thing back then. You can’t make money with others and leave us out, right?”
Wang Jinhe remained silent, just looking at the people who were speaking one after another, not knowing what to say. Suddenly, she didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Seeing that Wang Jinhe still hadn’t spoken, the people who came to see her became anxious. “What’s the matter? Just say something. How can you not say a word like this?”
“Yeah, we didn’t do anything to harm you, and you and your child are fine. You should help us too. Your helping many people, and you don’t care about us.” From initially probing to now acting entitled, and even employing a bit of moral manipulation.
Wang Jinhe looked at their expressions and couldn’t help but laugh suddenly, leaving the people nearby bewildered. What was Wang Jinhe laughing about?
“Is it because I seemed a bit soft, so you dared to come and talk to me like this? Yes, you didn’t do anything, but your indifference and cold eyes were annoying. So what if I want to grow melons? What does it have to do with you who I choose to bring along? Even among relatives, there are distinctions, let alone mere villagers. Don’t consider yourselves as belonging to the same village as me. The village head made it very clear several years ago that I am not a part of Xie Village,” Wang Jinhe said unapologetically.
“You…”
“No need for your help. I’m not falling for your tactics. Even if you’ve brought the village head here today, it won’t change anything. I won’t help, no matter who asks.”
“Don’t think that just because you didn’t do anything to my family, we should be grateful to you. I’m not buying into that,” Wang Jinhe said with a cold laugh.
Xie Zhou frowned as he looked at Wang Jinhe. When they came, he had simplified the situation, thinking that as long as they approached Wang Jinhe, she would gratefully include them in making money. But now he realized they had been too naive and had underestimated Wang Jinhe’s intelligence.
“This matter happened so many years ago; there’s no need to keep harping on it,” someone nearby chuckled and said.
Indeed, in their eyes, Wang Jinhe was now being overly fixated on the past.
Wang Jinhe was amused by their words and pointed at herself, saying, “So you all still think it’s my fault, right?”
Xie Zhou, realizing that his words had irritated Wang Jinhe, quickly spoke up, “Xiaohe, we’re not saying it’s your fault. We just feel that this matter happened a long time ago, and there’s no need to hold onto it, don’t you agree? After all, you’re living a good life now, right?”
Wang Jinhe couldn’t help but laugh at Xie Zhou’s words. “In your minds, just because time has passed means nothing ever happened?”
“That’s not what we mean,” Xie Zhou hastily explained.
“Then what do you mean?” Wang Jinhe slammed what she was holding onto the ground, clearly getting agitated.
