Chapter 135: Gratitude

Ever since Jiang Chuan's family had moved out of the old Jiang house, they hadn't asked for their help, and in fact, brought numerous benefits to the villagers. Their continuous private discussions and gossip about the Jiang family didn't paint them in a good light.

After a quiet moment, a man with a flushed face shouted, "The village chief is right. We've been petty. The Jiang Chuan family has been good to us. We shouldn't gossip about them this way."
