Old Man Yan looked at Yan Danqiu in confusion.
Did she genuinely run to find the Land Officer?
A little girl who wasn't afraid at all.
Old Man Yan was annoyed, but not frightened.
Having lived in the North Village for many years, he was well-versed in everything. Given the third branch's situation, as long as Third was around, those fields would eventually return to the old house. It was just a matter of timing.

Without him, it was all over.
Now that this little girl refused to comply, what was the point?
