Niu Tongsheng was pacified when he saw that Zhao Chuchu was now speaking to him in a more subservient
tone. Soon, his anger dissipated.
Likewise, he also did not want to antagonize someone like Zhao Chuchu, who possessed excellent medical skills. He might need her help one day.
Furthermore, Zhao Chuchu had helped to control the plague. She was now highly regarded by the government authorities and the Weisuo. A tiny village like Lengshui Village could no longer push her around.
Since Zhao Chuchu treated him with such deference, Niu Tongsheng also softened his stance. "Alas, you are too bad-tempered. I know you are capable but the arm will never be able to twist the thigh. Your ability is limited if you continue to do things alone. Do you think the Zhao family will help you if you need them in the future?"
