Chapter 487 Wang Guan Family
When Village Chief Wang heard what Xu Miaomiao said, he sighed, looked at her embarrassedly, slowly stretched out his legs and placed them on a chair beside him.
Xu Miaomiao didn't think it was a big deal. She just walked forward and slowly lifted up her trouser legs. Her legs, which were not strong to begin with, became even thinner, and the red and swollen areas on them were so painful to look at. Xu Miaomiao pressed them gently, and saw that Village Chief Wang's brows were tightly furrowed, and his hands were tightly grasping the corners of his clothes, as if he was in great pain, but he didn't dare to make any sound.
Xu Miaomiao's heart tightened. She stood up without saying much. Instead, she looked at Wang Mang who was sleeping soundly on the bed beside her. She wondered how Village Chief Wang managed to endure all this pain alone.
Her own son is so useless. He either causes trouble or sleeps in bed all day long. He also drinks good wine and eats delicious food. Village Chief Wang is so tired, but he still has to go up the mountain to chop wood. Xu Miaomiao can't help feeling sad when she thinks of this. Although she has no parents in that world, Village Chief Wang has taken extra care of her since she came here. No matter what happens, Village Chief Wang will stand by her and protect her. It's a pity that she ends up like this.
Now the Wang family is no longer as good as it used to be. Village Chief Wang even gave her his last bit of savings, but she still has to support this good-for-nothing son. Liu Cunzi comes to collect debts from time to time, and Village Chief Wang has to clean up this mess for them. Thinking of this, Xu Miaomiao sighed heavily. She didn't know why, but every time she thought of the village chief, she always felt sad.
Xu Miaomiao immediately took out some herbs from the space, pretending to take them out of the backpack and put them on the table. She looked at Village Chief Wang and said, "You have been suffering from rheumatism for so long. If you don't treat it, you may not be able to walk in the future. Don't delay the journey. Take these medicines three times a day. Remember not to forget. And it's not a good idea to delay it like this. Come to my house, I will give you acupuncture, and I believe you will get better soon."
When Village Chief Wang heard this, he was horrified and immediately jumped off the bench. He looked at Xu Miaomiao in horror, trying to shrug off Xu Miaomiao's kindness and said, "Madam Xu, please don't do this. This is all my own business. You have helped me a lot. How can I let you spend so much money again?"
Xu Miaomiao disagreed, held down Village Chief Wang's hand, sighed, and persuaded him to speak: "You don't have to worry about my affairs. Besides, you are so good to me, how can I ignore your illness? If you reject my kindness again, I will really be angry."
Hearing Xu Miaomiao say this, Village Chief Wang sighed and nodded at Xu Miaomiao.
Xu Miaomiao ignored his answer and continued to ask, "Village Chief Wang, now everyone in Wangjia Village wants to ask me for money to exchange for Cordyceps, why don't you come?"
When Xu Miaomiao asked, Village Chief Wang was obviously stunned, then he smiled awkwardly and looked at Xu Miaomiao: "Madam Xu, you have helped us so much, and I know you don't need any Cordyceps at all. Besides, this thing is everywhere in the back mountain, and it doesn't take much effort to pick up some. You just want to help the people in Wangjia Village. You have helped me a lot, how can I flatter you to continue to help me."
When Xu Miaomiao heard this, she didn't agree. What Village Chief Wang said was indeed the truth. She really couldn't bear to see the people of Wangjia Village become so lonely, so she gave them a way to live. After all, this was the village she had lived in. Even if these people had experienced her being excluded, she was unwilling to watch them lose their lives. Xu Miaomiao sighed and watched Village Chief Wang take out a piece of paper from his arms.
Village Chief Wang was a little confused. He looked at Xu Miaomiao and immediately said, "Madam Xu, if you insist on giving me money, then you really don't have to. You are humiliating me by doing this."
Xu Miaomiao smiled slightly, pushed the paper forward, and said, "Village Chief, look carefully, this is not a banknote, it is a contract to sell one's body."
Village Chief Wang was a little surprised when he heard this. He raised the waste paper in his hand, and it was clearly written on his fingertips.
Xu Miaomiao wanted to hire him as the housekeeper of the Song Mansion as a reward. She would give him two cents of silver every month. Now he is very old and his legs and feet are not working well. It is already difficult for him to support himself, not to mention that he has a lame son and a crazy daughter. Thinking of this, Village Chief Wang sighed, holding the paper in his hand tremblingly, and immediately slapped the paper on the table, looking at Xu Miaomiao firmly and said: "Madam Xu, I know you are kind, but now I am a useless person, how can I accept your kindness? Take this thing back and I will pretend that what happened today did not happen."
Although Xu Miaomiao had expected him to say that, so she had already thought of the wording, she looked at the man in front of her and continued, "Village Chief Wang, I actually have a reason to look for you. Although the Song Mansion is not big, it is still a mansion after all. Besides, how can such a mansion be without a housekeeper? I thought about it and looked for many people, but none of them were suitable. So you should think about it for me. Considering that I have helped you so much before, you can come to our mansion and bear the trouble again."
Seeing Xu Miaomiao say this, Village Chief Wang was a little moved, but he still knew the reason why Xu Miaomiao said that, and he was afraid of hurting his self-esteem, so he spoke.
Xu Miaomiao had said so, and Village Chief Wang couldn't refuse. He immediately picked up the pen beside him and signed on it: "Madam Xu, as long as you need me, I will definitely help you."
Xu Miaomiao nodded slightly to Village Chief Wang and said, "In that case, Village Chief Wang, you have to come to the Song Mansion tomorrow. Pack your bags and move to the Song Mansion. As a housekeeper, how can you leave the Song Mansion?"
Village Chief Wang was a little worried when he thought of this. He looked at his son beside him. Xu Miaomiao was also worried and said, "Don't worry. Although the Song Mansion is a little busy, they will give you some time. You will always have time to visit Wang Mang every day."
Seeing that the conversation had come to this point, Village Chief Wang had nothing to refute and immediately nodded to Xu Miaomiao: "Mrs. Xu, thank you very much. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid we really wouldn't be able to survive this winter!"
