Chapter 2619: Mission 5

Editor: Henyee Translations

“It’s impossible to live like this for a lifetime. While it’s commendable for you to take a stand with a knife and face danger head-on, we can’t confine ourselves at home forever. We need to make a living. The most crucial thing is to safeguard those fields,” Yan Danxia expressed with a melancholic gaze.

She could foresee the dire consequences if they failed to protect what was rightfully theirs.

Yan Danxia and her elder sister were no longer in their youth. While her elder sister could potentially marry into the Jiang family, even if life there would be challenging, what about Yan Danxia and Yan Dandong? They might be sold off by their uncles, and their mother wouldn’t be able to survive.

This frustration fueled Yan Danxia’s anger toward Yan Danqiu. In her perspective, Yan Danqiu seemed oblivious to their future. As long as this period passed peacefully, Yan Danqiu could marry into the Jiang family and secure a relatively stable life.

“There will be a way. Eldest Sister will come up with solutions. Don’t worry so much,” Yan Danqiu assured.

Yan Dandong nodded, having witnessed her sister’s strength during the previous incident. In her eyes, her sister seemed like an incredibly capable person. If she said she could handle it, she undoubtedly could.

Yan Danxia pursed her lips, revealing her skepticism.

She had seen Yan Danqiu’s past actions. With no male figures in their family to protect them, they were vulnerable and unable to fend for themselves.

Gu Chaoyan understood their concerns. After contemplating for a moment, she declared, “I won’t get married. I’ll stay here to watch over you as you grow up. Then, I’ll cure our mother, and we can lead a good life together.”

“…..”

“You’re still young; don’t worry too much about it, okay?” Gu Chaoyan advised.

She had already made up her mind to convey this.

In fact, she had carefully considered it just before.

With the Yan family’s father gone and their mother’s recent illness, the sisters had endured bullying from their uncles for a considerable time. The Jiang family, as potential in-laws, had remained silent throughout. Judging by the Yan family’s current plight, it seemed likely that the Jiang family had long abandoned the idea of marrying Yan Danqiu.

Moreover, they probably aimed to distance themselves from any association with the Yan family.

Even if the Jiang family didn’t formally sever ties, given their current behavior, there was little chance they would extend any benevolence. Taking care of her mother and sisters seemed improbable if they were to marry into the Jiang family. Even if they did, it was unlikely they would entrust her with managing household affairs. In such circumstances, it made more sense to focus on the well-being of the Yan family. Life at home would be more meaningful than any other option.

Yan Danxia was about to voice her disagreement, but upon hearing this unexpected decision, she fell silent, registering a degree of surprise.

Yan Dandong, being younger, could only observe adult matters with wide eyes.

“I’m not okay with this. I don’t want you to do it,” Yan Danxia expressed her concern, finding the proposal too much.

Gu Chaoyan gestured dismissively, “It’s none of your concern.”

“…”

“As the eldest sister, I have my own responsibilities. It’s my duty to take care of you both.”

“…”

“Let’s focus on eating for now. I’ll handle the arrangements for tomorrow,” Gu Chaoyan stated.

Yan Danxia and Yan Dandong obediently resumed eating, keeping their thoughts to themselves.

After finishing the meal…

Gu Chaoyan remarked, “I don’t think they’ll dare to make a move for the next two days.”
