Zhou Lan sneered and said to the chief captain, “Captain, Jiang Chuan went to great lengths to get these one thousand kilos of seeds, just so we can take advantage of the moist soil in the fields these days, ensuring the seeds grow well. How come, when others talk about it, it’s said that Jiang Chuan abused his power for personal gain?”

The chief captain’s gaze was sharp as he looked at Wang Xing and his wife. “What’s going on?”

The two stuttered and hesitated. At that moment, a villager stepped forward and explained the whole story to the chief captain, repeating word-for-word what Wang Xing had said.

Although the chief captain’s face remained expressionless, his eyes betrayed his anger.

All the trouble Wang Xing caused was over the accountant position. First, he called Director Tian to argue, then he spread rumors, turning a good deed into something malicious. He even spread rumors that the chief captain was profiting from it. This was truly unbearable.

The village chief knew Wang Xing was wrong in this matter. At this point, he tried to mediate, “Chief captain, don’t be angry. Wang Xing just speaks recklessly. This is his fault, and he deserved to be beaten.”

“While everyone is here, why don’t you explain why Jiang Chuan was chosen as the accountant? That way, no one will spread rumors in the future.”

The chief captain then explained, “Everyone has witnessed Jiang Chuan’s capabilities. He has been working as an accountant for about five or six days. I’ve reviewed his accounts; they’re clear, precise, and error-free. Tell me, what’s unreasonable about someone with such capabilities being an accountant?”

Hearing this, the villagers felt it was reasonable. They began defending Jiang Chuan, “1 think there’s no problem. One should do jobs matching their abilities. Wang Xing is just envious of the position. No wonder he didn’t fight back when Zhou Lan hit him; he must’ve felt guilty.”

Another villager chimed in, “I was wondering how Zhou Lan, being a woman, could beat up three people. It turns out they were asking for it.”

After hearing everyone’s comments, Wang Xing and his wife hung their heads in shame.

The village chief felt that the misunderstanding had grown too large, primarily because the villagers hadn’t updated their impression of Jiang Chuan.

Jiang Chuan had changed. He was no longer the naive and honest man who got bullied without resistance. Now, he was competent and magnanimous, working hard for the villagers. This was a good opportunity to change the villagers’ perception of Jiang Chuan’s family.

With that thought, the village chief addressed the crowd, “Since everyone is here, I want to ask: Hasn’t Jiang Chuan done a lot for the village? Zhou Lan led people to pick wild vegetables in the mountains, and Jiang Xia distributed seeds to everyone. Haven’t you all benefited? Why do you all believe in rumors that hurt Jiang Chuan?”

The villagers reflected upon their biases, wondering if they had been too quick to believe the rumors about Jiang Chuan’s family.

As everyone was in deep thought, Zhou Lan took the opportunity to dust off Jiang Gu. She had fallen during the fight, covering herself in dirt, even her hair was messy.

Using her hand as a comb, Zhou Lan tidied Jiang Gu’s hair.

Jiang Chuan saw that everyone had thought it through, so he stepped forward to smooth things over.” Actually, these are just small matters. Everyone doesn’t have to take it to heart. We’re all from the same village. I believe that as long as I’m doing this for everyone’s good, everyone will definitely feel it.”

The villagers nodded in agreement.

Jiang Chuan continued,” As you all know, the land next to our house has just been allocated to my son-in-law. Now, we need to build a house. I wonder if anyone is available to help? I will be very grateful!”

Everyone in the village helped each other to build houses. Jiang Chuan had helped others build houses many times in the past. Moreover, they felt guilty towards Jiang Chuan today. Since he mentioned it, everyone was naturally willing to help and agreed.

Jiang Chuan nodded in satisfaction, “I’ve prepared all the building materials. Since the seeding will mostly be done in the next two days, everyone should be free afterward. If it’s convenient, we can start work tomorrow..”
