Aunt Peterson still felt intimidated by the village chief.
If one has never really left the countryside and isn’t very worldly, within the village, the village chief is the most powerful.
Even if Aunt Peterson was confrontational, she still had to reluctantly hold her tongue.
The village chief glared furiously, pointing at Aunt Peterson and scolded, “I’ve never seen anyone like you before. Ellen hasn’t even said anything yet, and you act as if your son is so precious that everyone should admire him?”
It was fine to praise her, but not her son.
Aunt Peterson’s son’s face also immediately darkened as he looked at the village chief, “What do you mean? Don’t think just because you’re the village chief of Haran Village you’re something special. Once you step out of the village, you’re nothing! Just an illiterate old man.”
Ellen stood up, her gaze merely ice-cold as she looked at the two men, and bluntly said one word, “Leave.”
There was something about the way she spoke that was resolute and chilling, which made people involuntarily comply without reason.
Aunt Peterson was only a blusterer within the village and had never encountered such a situation, but she shrank back slightly.
“You…”
Her son still wanted to curse some more, but was cowed by Ellen’s gaze and, coupled with the angry glare from the village chief next to him, he clenched his mother’s arm and reluctantly walked away.
This was still Haran Village’s territory, after all; they couldn’t make trouble openly.
Once they left, Aunt Hailey’s tears began to fall, “I’m sorry, Ellen, I really didn’t know, I owe you an apology. When she spoke to me at that time, I thought her son was a good match…”
Who would have known it would bring such a shrew.
Aunt Hailey, being kind and honest, wasn’t very good at refusing others; when Aunt Peterson approached her, thinking that Ellen was indeed single, she didn’t reject her.
She had never imagined her good intentions would pave the way for trouble.
Ellen had been so kind to them, always bringing extra food she had made; how could Aunt Hailey have the face to accept it?
“It’s okay.”
Ellen pulled out a tissue from the table and handed it to Aunt Hailey to wipe her tears, her voice equally gentle, “Aunt Hailey, I know you meant well, but remember, before you decide for others in the future, you should ask for their opinions first. It’s better that way.”
Aunt Hailey knew it was her fault, she took the tissue offered by Ellen and nodded hurriedly, “Yes, yes, I’m sorry, Ellen, I shouldn’t have made decisions on my own.”
Ellen nodded, and the village chief gestured as well, “It’s alright, Aunt Hailey, no need to cry. Ellen isn’t a petty person. It’s just that what you did this time wasn’t quite right; this woman is famously obstreperous. Her son goes to university and thinks he’s so superior, but there are quite a few college students in our village. Look at Ellen, she also came back from university. Young people have different ideas; you shouldn’t impose yours on them.”
Aunt Hailey respected the village chief and followed his lead, “Yes, what you’re saying is right, village chief.”
The village chief, after all, was different from others.
Ellen slightly pursed her lips into a smile, took the paperwork, processed by the village chief, and headed home.
As she approached her house, she saw the village chief’s mentioned handsome young man standing in front of the fence gate.

Today, he had changed into a deep blue shirt, the cuffs slightly rolled up, exposing a diamond-studded watch on his wrist. He stood there, smoking a cigarette on the hillside while looking at the distant scenery, exuding an aura of noble pride that was indescribable; he looked as if he was straight out of a fashion shoot.
Anyone would believe it was for a photo spread.
Upon seeing him, Ellen frowned, “Why are you here again? I said I would consider it, don’t you even give me time to think?”
Ruffy Smith turned around, saw her, extinguished the cigarette, and threw it into the trash can by Ellen’s door, his smile devilishly charming, “I allowed you time to think, but does that mean I can’t hang around here?”
