Chapter 1327: Chapter 1354: Protecting Nianyang

Before leaving, Li Tingyan was still cautious, assigning Sheng Feng and Xiaowu to protect Nianyang.

So when the fishermen caused trouble, Sheng Feng and Xiaowu quickly arrived to help disperse them, but this only seemed to further enrage them, each one shouting more fiercely.

"Where’s Mr. Li? Why isn’t he coming out!"

"Why are our supplies gone? We need an explanation."

"The supplies we worked hard to earn, you were responsible for protecting the transport, how incompetent can you be?"

"If we don’t get an explanation, we’ll all resign."

Right now is a critical moment, supplies are scarce, and a lot of manpower is needed. If the fishermen resign, how will things run smoothly?

Nianyang immediately signaled Xiaowu and Sheng Feng to stop and then said, "Everyone, please don’t worry, listen to me."

"We don’t listen to women; we want to see Mr. Li!"

The fishermen shouted aggressively, and not a single one regarded Nianyang.

Men living in such rural and poverty-stricken areas are extremely self-centered and feudal, believing that women should stay at home to support their husbands and raise children, while men handle important matters.

Nianyang did not get angry and patiently and calmly said, "Mr. Li is not here; I can represent him to explain to you."

Upon hearing this, the fishermen reluctantly quieted down to listen to Nianyang speak, and Nianyang said,

"I’m very sorry, but two days ago, pirates stole the supplies. Mr. Li has been trying to make up for it these past days. Don’t worry, whatever is lacking, there won’t be a shortage of food for everyone."

The fishermen didn’t believe her, "Nice words, but the supplies are gone. There’s so many people on the island, relying on food; what will you use to replace them?"

"Exactly, even if you replace them, what about next month? Can’t even protect the supplies; that’s too useless!"

"We might as well resign. Tell Mr. Li to give us our wages; otherwise, we’ll just stay put and not leave."

Nianyang rubbed her temples,

"We already have a solution in mind; please wait patiently for another two days. In two days, we will definitely provide you with a satisfactory answer. Is that okay?"

The fishermen exchanged glances, feeling that waiting two more days might be okay, so they reluctantly agreed and dispersed.

As they left, they said that if there’s no good solution in two days, they will definitely resign.

After sending off the fishermen, Nianyang saw Ni Jia walking over, smiling broadly, "I heard from Kang Quan that your husband’s supplies were stolen. I thought it was just a rumor; turns out it’s true."

Nianyang eyed her coldly, "Ni Jia, aren’t you tired of pretending? You think I don’t know what you did? If it weren’t for your big mouth, would the fishermen have known about the stolen supplies?"

With Sheng Feng and Xiaowu just having left with the fishermen and no one around, Ni Jia didn’t need to pretend anymore and slowly curled her lips,

"So what if it was me? Wasn’t I stating a fact? Chu Nianyang, it was your man who first snatched my man’s supplies; this is Heavenly Dao’s way of karma — what goes around comes around."

"That phrase is better suited for you!"

Nianyang laughed coldly, "Ni Jia, I never thought you’d fall so low. You’ve become someone else’s mistress and even act with the attitude of a legitimate wife. Kang Quan could be your father, yet you still managed to seduce him?"

Ni Jia’s face changed slightly, quickly corrected herself, "So what? As long as I help Kang Quan become chairman, I can leave Cold Island, and your man might soon lose his position. When the time comes, you just wait and see how I ruin you."
