After hanging up the phone, the village head was full of emotions, having never realized Huang Man was so ruthless.
At first, he thought she was capable, but brainwashed by the Huang family, without her own ideas. Now it seemed she wasn't without her own thoughts; she just knew she had no way to resist.
It was only after Huang Zhiqiang's death that she became assertive, because she knew there was no one left to suppress her.
Unfortunately, the Huang family failed to see this point and still tried to control her as before. As a result, she simply left for distant parts.
Even when Huang Xin informed her that Zhao Mei wanted to remarry and expected her to intervene, her response was a direct phone call back, making her stance clear.
This was her way of cutting ties with the Huang family, pretending it was all about Zhao Mei's happiness, but in reality, she no longer wanted any contact.
