Chapter 390: Dividing the Land
Hearing what Song Wushao said, Xu Miaomiao nodded, sat aside with peace of mind, lay down on the bed with her sleepy head drooping, and began to sleep.
Although it was still dark, Xu Miaomiao got up early. She didn't believe that Liu Guizi would change for no reason. This matter still needed to be clarified. When she arrived at the door of Village Chief Wang's house, everyone in the house was still sleeping and had not woken up. When Xu Miaomiao saw this scene, she couldn't help but hesitate two steps outside the house, and the door creaked open.
Village Chief Wang walked out with a staggering step. He was a little surprised when he saw Xu Miaomiao. He immediately stepped forward to greet Xu Miaomiao and said, "Madam Xu, why are you here? Is there something important?"
Thinking that Xu Miaomiao was still bothered by what happened yesterday, Village Chief Wang immediately opened the door, welcomed Xu Miaomiao in, and said to her, "I was really wrong about what happened yesterday. Don't bother with us."
Village Chief Wang's face was full of apology, his tired body had already bent his spine, and he slowly walked towards Xu Miaomiao with staggering steps. Seeing this scene, Xu Miaomiao couldn't help but feel distressed. Village Chief Wang is already so old, and now he still has to deal with these problems for his children. It really makes people feel distressed, but some things must be made clear, otherwise, it will bring endless troubles to himself.
When Village Chief Wang heard this, he immediately took a step towards Xu Miaomiao and said, "Madam Xu, it's cold outside, why don't you go inside and talk?"
When Xu Miaomiao heard this, she nodded. It wasn't that she was cold, but the village chief Wang was old. If he caught a cold, it would be bad. People of this era have relatively low immunity, and a minor illness could take a person's life. She couldn't take the risk.
After entering the house, it was indeed much warmer. He heard snoring from the room next door. Xu Miaomiao looked at the time and couldn't help but frowned. It seemed that Wang Mang really let Village Chief Wang take care of him.
But Xu Miaomiao didn't say much, she just sat down aside. Village Chief Wang immediately brought a cup of hot tea, sat down opposite Xu Miaomiao, and said, "Madam Xu, this is our fault. Don't blame those villagers. They were really scared, so they occupied the team. If you feel unfair, you scold me and hit me a few times, and I have no complaints. Since that day, I have also admonished those villagers, and they will naturally not cause trouble for you for no reason. We can just get along peacefully. If you receive any unfair treatment or are bullied in the future, just come to me, and I will naturally not let them go."
When Xu Miaomiao heard this, she couldn't help feeling a little guilty. Village Chief Wang had indeed done his best for her. Both the cotton field and the pear orchard were left to Village Chief Wang to manage. However, she had never asked Xu Miaomiao for a penny. She did it all willingly and just wanted to develop this village. But now those villagers might not necessarily be grateful for her kindness. Fortunately, Village Chief Wang was an old man in the village after all, and his words still carried some weight, so those villagers trusted him very much. Thinking of this, Xu Miaomiao nodded.
He took a step forward, took Village Chief Wang's hand and said, "To be honest, Village Chief, I do have something to tell you these days."
"Madam Xu, you can say whatever you want."
Village Chief Wang nodded, looked at Xu Miaomiao and spoke.
Xu Miaomiao then slowly spoke: "It was after those things happened a while ago that I came to your house. How could this Liu Guizi suddenly change his mind?"
Village Chief Wang heard this and shook his head. "It's really puzzling. That person said everything was fine. I took the child to apologize, but Liu Kuizi showed up. I really don't understand. You wait and see. I will actually ask him a question."
When Xu Miaomiao heard this, she immediately stopped Village Chief Wang who was about to stand up, shook her head at him, and said, "I have guessed one or two of the reasons why he did this."
"What does Madam Xu want to say?"
When Village Chief Wang heard this, he immediately stepped forward, looked at Xu Miaomiao and spoke.
Xu Miaomiao nodded and said, "He wants this village just to drive me out. After I'm driven out, there will be one less person holding the shares of the cornfield and the pear field. He is a cripple and has a child all by himself. Now Wang Xing'er has gone crazy, so this quota will most likely fall into his hands."
"That's what I think."
When Village Chief Wang heard this, he was a little surprised. He never expected that Liu the Cripple would think this way.
Xu Miaomiao nodded and said, "I don't want to fight with you for anything. The money from the pear blossom field and the cotton field is nothing to me. If he really wants it, you might as well give him all the money. Just let him raise the children and take care of Wang Xing'er in the future and don't cause trouble again."
"How can this be possible? We are a family. Besides, you were the one who helped us plant the cotton field and the plowed land in the beginning. How can we repay you with ingratitude? And exclude you from here? If we are so ungrateful, what kind of people are we?"
Village Chief Wang was somewhat dissatisfied with what Xu Miaomiao said, but Xu Miaomiao indicated her disapproval. Village Chief Wang calmed down, looked at her and slowly said, "These silvers are just external things to me. Besides, we have been doing some work in the capital and have saved some silver. Now is not a difficult time. Since Liu Guizi has made up his mind, he will definitely not give up until he achieves his goal. Yesterday was a good example. He incited the anger of the villagers and wanted to drive us out. He even used the children as a threat. If we continue to let it go, who knows what will happen?"
"How can that be possible?" Village Chief Wang was still somewhat dissatisfied with the plan, and immediately stood up, looked at her and said, "No matter what, we can't give them your share. Besides, we can't let him do whatever he wants. What does he want? We have to give him the cotton fields and the plowed land. If he wants the sun and the moon in the sky in the future, will he threaten the lives of all our villagers? This kind of thing must not happen, and I will definitely not indulge him to continue like this."
