Hearing this, Guiying felt like she had seen a ghost.

Just yesterday, Chiang Xiao was as if she was fighting for her life—how come her attitude had changed so suddenly? Was she willing to compensate?

Ding Daqiang, a stout and tall man with dark skin, had a hint of imperceptible ferocity in his eyes. Chiang Xiao could tell from the way he had slammed the hoe on the ground just now, that he had brought it with him as a threat.

When Guiying returned home yesterday and said that Chiang Xiao had become fierce, Ding Daqiang didn't believe it but felt inspired. Chiang Songhai's family was known for their honesty and simplicity. As long as he carried a hoe with a stern attitude, he was sure he could scare them and getting money out of them wouldn't be hard.
