When the big-voiced wife heard this, she was stunned. She was obviously shocked by their words. She couldn't imagine that the villagers who had supported her before were now talking about her, just for such a small amount of silver. Thinking of this, the big-voiced wife angrily threw a handful of Cordyceps in her hand, pointed at everyone and said, "Why do you say that to me? Aren't you here just for Xu Miaomiao's money? Why, you didn't care when you drove Xu Miaomiao out, but now you're asking for money, and you're acting like a leftist. I despise people like you the most."
When everyone heard what he said, they also responded with dissatisfaction: "Big Voice Sister, your family is too noble, don't ask Madam Xu for money."
When the loud-voiced lady heard this, she didn't know what to say for a moment. If she didn't ask Xu Miaomiao for the silver, she might not be able to survive.
Hearing more and more bullying from people around her, the loud-voiced wife had no choice but to leave in disgrace. After the last batch of silver was distributed, Xu Miaomiao couldn't help but call for a halt. Seeing Xu Miaomiao's look, the woman sighed and said, "Madam Xu, we were sorry for what happened before, but you still treat us like this and give us this silver as a token of your gratitude. If possible, I will work like a cow or a horse for you."
Xu Miaomiao didn't take it seriously and curled her lips at the woman: "It's fine if you work like a cow or a horse, but now I really want to trouble you with something."
The woman held the handrail, bowed to Xu Miaomiao, and put the silver in her hand away: "What did Madam Xu say? Just tell me what to do. I will not obey."
"I just don't know why every household has come to me to exchange silver, but Village Chief Wang's family hasn't responded yet? Could it be that they have saved enough silver to survive the winter?"
When the woman heard this, she sighed heavily, looked at Xu Miaomiao, and wanted to say something, but the words remained in her mouth. Seeing this, Xu Miaomiao immediately pressed forward and asked questions.
Seeing this, the woman let go of her hand, looked at Xu Miaomiao and said, "Madam Xu, you don't know that when you went to the back mountain, you had already angered Wang Mang. Besides, Wang Mang is in charge of Village Chief Wang's family. He didn't let Village Chief Wang go to pick Cordyceps and come to you again. What's more, Village Chief Wang also cares about the old relationship and thinks that you have helped them enough, so he doesn't want to come to you again. When they think of bothering you, they naturally don't want to, so they would rather go up the mountain to chop firewood and sell it. Although it's a bit hard, at least they can make some money."
"Chopping wood? It's already winter, how much money can he earn from chopping wood? His whole family is waiting for food and drink. Liu Quezi goes to ask Village Chief Wang for money every now and then. How can he afford it?"
Hearing this, the woman sighed and shook her head at Xu Miaomiao: "Madam Xu, we naturally know what you said, but since what happened last time, everyone feels that the village chief is on your side. Although you are very good to us now and give us a reason to live, everyone still has grudges, and even Village Chief Wang has been excluded. You can't blame others for this matter, and the village chief has been busy in this village all his life, how could he suffer such grievances? If this is considered another difficulty, he will only keep it in his heart and won't say it out."
Xu Miaomiao sighed when she heard this, nodded, and responded to the woman: "Okay, I know about this matter, my lady, be careful on your way back."
The woman nodded slightly and said goodbye to Xu Miaomiao. As the woman left, Xu Miaomiao packed up the things in front of her, still thinking about what the woman had said just now. The village chief is now old and takes good care of her. She has already helped the villagers of Wangjia Village, so how can she not help the village chief Wang? This is really not what a normal person should do.
When Xu Miaomiao thought of this, she made up her mind secretly. She packed up her things, took the Cordyceps, and headed towards Wangjia Village. Before dark, the people of Wangjia Village went to exchange Cordyceps with Xu Miaomiao. When it was dark, they saw Xu Miaomiao coming. They thought he was here to get his money back, so they immediately closed the door and held the money they had just received tightly in their hands. No matter who came, they dared not open the door. But Xu Miaomiao didn't know what they were thinking. She gently knocked on the door of the village chief's house, only to hear an angry voice from inside.
Wang Mang frowned impatiently and shouted at the door: "Who is this debt collector? Why are you knocking on the door in the middle of the night? We have no money left. Liu Quezi, get out of here right now."
Xu Miaomiao frowned slightly when she heard this, but she didn't respond to them in the end. She still knocked on the door impatiently. After a while, Village Chief Wang finally limped open the door. When he saw that it was Xu Miaomiao, he was a little shocked and immediately welcomed Xu Miaomiao in: "Why are you here, Madam Xu?"
Village Chief Wang was limping. Xu Miaomiao frowned slightly: "Village Chief, why are your legs in such a state?"
The village chief sighed and shook his head: "Alas, these are all old problems. I think I was a little tired these two days and became like this. Madam Xu, you don't have to worry."
When Xu Miaomiao thought of this, her heart ached and she immediately helped Village Chief Wang into the house. Village Chief Wang tried to persuade Xu Miaomiao to leave by herself and told her not to bother with him. But as soon as she entered the house, she caught a glimpse of Wang Mang lying on the bed with a pot of wine at his side and the dishes scattered on the floor. He looked very carefree.
Wang Mang was obviously a little drunk at this time. He looked at Xu Miaomiao with a red face. When he saw her, he immediately smiled again: "Xu Miaomiao, why did you come to my house? Don't you look down on us? Why did you rush over again today?"
When Village Chief Wang heard this, he frowned slightly and yelled at Wang Mang to shut up. Wang Mang snorted in dissatisfaction, and perhaps because he had drunk too much, he fell asleep again.
Xu Miaomiao ignored him and instead looked at Village Chief Wang. She sighed, looked at him and said, "Okay, let me help you check your legs."
After saying that, Xu Miaomiao immediately bent down and wanted to check on Village Chief Wang's leg. Village Chief Wang was startled by his sudden action and immediately helped Xu Miaomiao up and waved at him: "It's okay, Madam Xu, please sit down first, my leg is fine."
Xu Miaomiao frowned slightly when she saw him like this: "I came here today just to see you. If you don't let me see your legs, I'm afraid I will feel uneasy."
