Chapter 296 Advice
The tiger went to the back mountain alone.
He shouted loudly towards the mountains, trying to vent his frustration.
He knew he was not good enough for the young lady, but his decision to marry her was not something he wished for on his own.
He had no intention of staying in Shifeng Village after being brought back by the village chief.
He always felt like he had forgotten something.
There is something very important to do.
But he forgot what it was.
The chieftain offered his daughter as a condition to keep him there.
He remembered that he had a family, but he didn't know why he was all alone now.
The chieftain said that once he married the young lady, he would have a family.
That's why he was willing to stay.
With his martial arts skills, he helped the chieftain survive many dangers.
It also helped him to recruit most of the bandits in the surrounding area.
Over the years, whenever he acquired something good, he would always give it to the young lady first.
Because she would become his wife and family.
He remembered someone telling him that family members should think of her first when they have something good, and remember her preferences.
He knew that the young lady loved jewelry the most, so every time he got something good, he would exchange it for jewelry.
The young lady was always indifferent to him, and she would only smile at him when he gave her jewelry.
To make her smile at him more often, he would frequently exchange money for jewelry with others.
Many people laughed at him for being foolish, saying that no matter what he did, the young lady would never like him.
But it doesn't matter. Someone once told him that as long as you treat someone sincerely, one day she will definitely reciprocate.
But why does the young lady still want to marry someone else? Is he not good enough?
"So? Do you still want to stay in Shifeng Village?" A clear and melodious voice suddenly rang out.
The tiger turned around and saw a pale pink figure walking towards him.
"Second Miss." Tiger clasped his hands in a fist and bowed to the newcomer.
Sun Chuchu raised her hand and said, "Get up, Brother Tiger, you're too kind."
She gave a snort, a hint of disdain in her eyes, "Now you see how hypocritical the people here are."
“I advised you a long time ago not to stay here, but to go as far away as possible.”
“You used to say that you would stay and marry Sun Guixiang, but now that Sun Guixiang has chosen someone else to marry, you have no more attachments.”
"Chief Sun owes you a great favor now, why don't you leave this place now?"
After saying that, she seemed to be talking to herself, "You have no idea how envious some people are of you for being able to leave here." Her voice was full of helplessness.
"Second Miss, I..." Tiger hesitated.
He had grown accustomed to life in the village, and his resolve to leave was no longer as firm as it had been.
"Chief Sun has been kind to me, I cannot... I cannot leave now."
"Heh!" Sun Chuchu sneered, "Are you talking about the debt of gratitude for saving my life?"
"Over the years, you have saved him from swords and spears so many times. I'm afraid you've already repaid the debt of gratitude you owe him."
Tiger glanced at Sun Chuchu with a bewildered expression.
Has the report been completed? Why do people keep telling him that the chieftain was kind to him and that he cannot be ungrateful?
Sun Chuchu glanced at him and said, "Fine, you can leave anytime you want."
"Unlike me, I can't even leave if I want to."
"I was just meddling. Do as you please."
After saying that, she turned around and prepared to leave.
"Second Miss, you are a good person!" Tiger's voice came, full of sincerity, just like him, honest and kind.
Sun Chuchu paused. A good person? There are actually good people in Shifeng Village, huh!
If she didn't have other things to do, or if... she might also want to be a good person.
She raised her hand and waved it at the tiger. "Here's a piece of advice: be careful of Sun Chuang. He's not what he seems. Keep your eyes peeled!"
The chieftain? Tiger asked, somewhat puzzled.
The chieftain was the kindest person to him in the whole village; he even had a fight with the young lady today because of him.
Why did the second young lady warn him to be careful of the bandit leader?
He was very puzzled.

Meanwhile, Sun Guixiang's coming-of-age ceremony ended due to Dongfang Ming's marriage proposal.
Seeing that Chief Sun's face had darkened, the guests decided not to continue exchanging pleasantries with him and bid him farewell before leaving.
After seeing off the guests, Sun Guixiang led Chen Ming to Sun Chuang's courtyard.
Sun Chuang specially arranged for a table of food and wine to be set up in his room again.
He had been waiting for a while when Sun Guixiang and Chen Ming arrived.
Although her father had agreed to her marriage with Chen Ming, Sun Guixiang was still somewhat uneasy.
She knew all too well how much her father valued tigers.
Because of the tiger incident, I often warned myself to treat him better.
Because of her father's warnings, she grew to hate tigers even more. Despite being her father's biological daughter, her father treated her less than a tenth of how he treated tigers.
Chen Ming also sensed Sun Guixiang's nervousness. He sneered inwardly, thinking that such a person was not worthy of being his wife.
But he still comforted her, saying, "Don't worry, I'll be there for you." Then he squeezed Sun Guixiang's hand.
Sun Guixiang took a deep breath, pushed open the door, and went inside.
Unexpectedly, her father came over with a smile.
He very kindly pulled Chen Ming to sit in the seat of honor.
"Nephew Chen, please take a seat, please take a seat."
"Guixiang, quickly close the door so our family can have a proper meal."
Sun Guixiang was a little confused, but judging from her father's attitude towards the two of them, he seemed very happy.
She knew it; her father still loved her.
She quickly closed the door, walked happily to the dining table, and sat down next to Dongfang Ming.
"Father, what's wrong?"
Sun Chuang gave her a fake glare, "You child, your father is the chief of Shifeng Village, and you've caused such a scene at your coming-of-age ceremony."
"My father couldn't save face, so of course he had to put on that show."
"Besides, you know that Tiger is a very stubborn person. If he finds out that I have tacitly approved of your relationship with Chen Xian, it will be a mess."
Sun Guixiang then realized that her father's anger earlier was just an act.
"Father, that slap you gave me hurt so much!" Her eyes reddened with grievance.
Sun Chuang gently touched his daughter's cheek. "Father was wrong. Father will make it up to you."
"Ah."

Shen Yu'an looked at the letter in his hand, and the contents moved him to tears.
Sure enough, he guessed right!
