Old Lady Zhuang once again pulled out two taels of silver from her interspatial ring and handed it to Old Man Sang under the cover of her wide cuffs.
"Okay, I'll go right away." Old Lady Zhuang looked at Li Ya and Sun Ya without saying anything. She just smiled at them and turned to go to the next yard to look for Sang Mu.
About a quarter of an hour later, when Old Lady Zhuang returned to the Sang family mansion, she was accompanied by seven people. One was Sang Mu, and the other six were villagers from Shengdan Village. They wanted to follow Sang Mu and take a trip to Munan City.
"Li Ya, Sun Ya. My mother told me everything. We are not going into the city today, but we will have to go in a few days. I will give you a ride." Sang Mu said respectfully.
"This... isn't a good idea. It's such a long journey." Sun Ya felt a little embarrassed.
"Idiot, didn't you hear what they said? They are going to the city anyway. Besides, they have to help collect government subsidies." Li Ya reacted and thought that Sang Mu and the others were going to follow them to the county government office to collect the government subsidies for the 531 villagers who had just been sent there.
"Then let's set off now."
Father Sang brought Li Ya and the others to the big tree in the center of the village square and threw three spirit stones into the formation.
"The formation has started to activate, hurry up and go." Old Man Sang urged them.
Sang Mu nodded to Old Man Sang, and then led everyone into the formation.
Li Ya and Sun Ya's eyes widened. What was going on? Where was the village they were supposed to be in? Why was this village using the cultivators' tricks, the teleportation array?
Even if one searched the entire Munan City, they might not be able to find a formation master as skilled as him. The city's defensive formation was actually set up by an elder immortal from the Zhenxuan Sect.
Even though this is just a small space teleportation array that is common in the world of immortal cultivation, it is extremely rare in areas where mortals live.
Soon, the teleportation array opened, and a green light appeared. Sang Mu, along with two yamen runners and several villagers, disappeared under the huge apricot tree.
After watching Li Ya and the others leave, Old Man Sang took Su Ming with him to look for the villagers of the former Taohua Village. They were a large group. He asked Doctor Zhou at the clinic on the street and found out where they were going. They were in the shabby houses at the end of the village.
"It's Village Chief Sang who's here."
"Village Chief Sang."
"Village Chief Sang."
“…”
Everyone shouted "Old Man Sang" as expected. At this time, Old Man Sang was particularly noticeable.
"Village Chief Sang!" Zhou Dahe pulled Su Miao to the front of Old Man Sang. Before that, he had already roughly told some things about Shengdan Village.
For example, the government subsidies, and how the villagers travel. He also said that in Shengdan Village, children can go to Mu Fuzi's house to learn literacy for free.
"Yes. Now all of you come to Su Ming to register your names and the number of people in your family. I will then assign you rooms. Your subsidies will not be returned until tonight."
"If you don't have rice at home, please line up at the Sang family's old house for porridge for dinner. Now is the time to clean up the house while it's still early." After Father Sang finished speaking, Su Ming began to record the information of the villagers of the former Taohua Village with a charcoal pencil.
"Old Su, come here alone." Old Man Sang waved to Su Miao.
"Old Su, from now on you will have to help manage all the affairs of the original Taohua Village. You will be the third elder of our Shengdan Village. Zhou Fugui is the first elder, and Zhou Dahe is the second elder." Old Man Sang patted Su Miao's shoulder earnestly.
This man has survived until now thanks to the lives of hundreds of people in the village. If he settles down now, he will have nothing to do. Judging from his current state, it is easy for him to get into trouble.
"This... all the affairs of the village should be handed over to the village chief." Su Miao thought that he would be free once everyone and the tribesmen settled down. Unexpectedly, the village chief of Shengdan Village was willing to give him the power to manage the people.
"It's settled. Also, our Sang family is in need of a manager. You are alone now, so why don't you come and help my family and me? I will pay you 500 coins a month. There is not much work to do normally. In the future, when there is more work, I will give you more wages. How about it? Now there are only my wife and I in our old Sang family house. The house is very big, you don't have to worry about where to live. We will move to a new house soon, and the house will be even bigger." said Old Man Sang.
He saved a life and hired a cheap housekeeper for his own family. The old woman will definitely praise me. Old Man Sang was still gloating.
"Thank you for your kindness, Village Chief Sang. I don't need to be your housekeeper, do I?" Su Miao looked up at the rooftop. Life was tough for everyone these days. He understood what the village chief was saying. He must be worried he'd commit suicide alone.
"What are you talking about? What butler?" Sang Jin's sweet childish voice came into Su Miao's ears from behind.
He looked down and saw a little girl in a pink cotton-padded jacket walking towards him with a smile. If his granddaughter were still alive, she would probably call him grandpa in such a sweet voice.
"It's Xiaojin, come here quickly. This is your Grandpa Su. He is the person Lord Wu just assigned to our village. Grandpa is arranging their places. Grandpa also plans to invite Grandpa Su back home to be the housekeeper." Old Man Sang was not discouraged by Su Miao's refusal.
He just saw Su Miao's eyes light up when he heard the voice of his precious granddaughter.
"Okay, but you and grandma probably won't need a housekeeper for the time being. After we move to the new house, Grandpa Su will come to be the housekeeper for our main house. Now, go to my grandpa's place for the time being." Sang Jin blinked her big watery eyes at Old Man Sang, and then looked at Su Miao.
"Okay... okay..." Su Miao hadn't come back to his senses yet.
Sang Jin had just come out of the mountains, having made a good return. She had just returned home when she heard from her family that County Magistrate Wu had sent many people to their village, so she followed them to see what was happening.
"Since Grandpa Su has agreed, he can't go back on his word. Come on, let's make a pinky promise!" Sang Jin stretched out her little finger.
Su Miao also stretched out his finger.
"Let's make a promise and hang ourselves. We won't change for three hundred years. Whoever changes will be a puppy."
"Okay, we'll make a promise and stick together for three hundred years. Whoever changes will be a puppy."
The sunlight coming in from outside the door stretched the shadows of the old man and the child very long.
"That's right. I'll go and distribute housing plots to everyone." Old Man Sang began to fulfill his duties as the village chief.
"Su Renhe!"
"arrive!"
"There are still five people left in the family, right?"
"Yes, village chief."
"Okay, you guys are in the room across the street."
"Xiao Bing!"
"arrive!"
"There are still two people left at home."
"Yes, village chief."
"Then you go..."
"Zhang Erniu"
"arrive."
"There are still seven people left in your family, right?"
“…”
