"Madam Xu, it's actually you."
The old man was limping and carrying a large backpack on his back. He was walking outside. He was a little surprised to see Xu Miaomiao.
Staring at the old man's disheveled appearance, Dabao and Li Yi stood vigilantly in front of Xu Miaomiao, isolating them from the people opposite.
Xu Miaomiao smiled and patted Dabao and Li Yi on the shoulders.
Although she hadn't seen the person opposite for a long time, Xu Miaomiao recognized him immediately. This person was the only person in Wangjia Village who could not speak her name - Village Chief Wang.
Xu Miaomiao bowed to Wang Cunzi, looked at him and then said, "Wang Cunzi, why are you still running around with a backpack on your back?"
Xu Miaomiao was indeed a little confused. Even if Village Chief Wang was unwilling to come to Xu Miaomiao to exchange silver at that time, Xu Miaomiao had already given him a lot of silver. So why did Village Chief Wang still carry the backpack?
"It's fine."
Village Chief Wang had a playful smile on his weathered face. He looked at Xu Miaomiao and slowly explained, "I just can't sit still. I'm alone at home, so I don't have any free time. I just find something to do."
Although Xu Miaomiao heard the man say this, she just didn't believe it. After all, Village Chief Wang didn't look like he was dead, and even the robe he was wearing was torn.
Dabao, who was standing by, saw his appearance and immediately asked, "Doesn't Village Chief Wang have a son? Why do you say you live alone?"
After hearing Dabao's question, Xu Miaomiao also felt that there was something wrong with this matter. She looked at Village Chief Wang with some doubts. Now Village Chief Wang is the housekeeper in her family. How could he have no money and go out to collect herbs?
"Tell me, did Wang Mang take all that money away?"
Xu Miaomiao immediately looked at Village Chief Wang and spoke.
"He lost his mother when he was young. I raised them both by myself, so naturally I was negligent in many aspects. Now I will give it all back to him."
As Xu Miaomiao said this, she clenched her fists together. Looking at the appearance of Village Chief Wang, she became even more angry. She stared at Village Chief Wang and said, "Where is Wang Mang? I haven't seen his legs for a long time. Why don't I go take another look at him?"
"OK."
Village chief Wang immediately nodded, agreeing to Xu Miaomiao's words.
"When I went to see him two days ago, he said his legs hurt a little. Unfortunately, his father doesn't have the ability and money to take him to see a doctor. If you, Madam Xu, can help me, I will be happy."
Listening to Xu Miaomiao's words, he suddenly felt happy. Xu Miaomiao smiled and said nothing more to Village Chief Wang. He walked towards the village with him.
Previously, she asked Village Chief Wang to be her official, one reason being that Village Chief Wang was now on her side, and even if he returned to Wangjia Village, it would be hard to convince people. Since it was the case now, it would be better for her to come and solve the matter. However, she had asked Village Chief Wang to live in her house at the beginning, but Village Chief Wang was not happy about it and insisted on moving out to live by herself.
Xu Miaomiao originally thought that he received a salary every month. Although it was not high, it was definitely more than enough to support himself and Wang Mang. It was a pity that she did not expect him to be like this now.
Following behind Village Chief Wang, the man did not take them back to his original home. Instead, he followed Village Chief Wang's steps and went further and further away.
Xu Miaomiao didn't say much, but Li Yi on the side frowned and looked around vigilantly.
Knowing that Village Chief Wang had stopped, everyone began to carefully look at the surrounding environment.
Xu Miaomiao frowned even more. This was originally the burned-down house of her family. She didn't know when it was rebuilt. It was even more comfortable and beautiful than before.
Xu Miaomiao felt mixed emotions at this moment. As if knowing what Xu Miaomiao was thinking, Village Chief Wang immediately explained, "Don't blame me, Madam Xu. I asked Madam Gu in the mansion before. You were still in the south at that time. Madam Gu agreed, so I used this house for rest."
"So that's how it is. I don't blame you. It was originally an abandoned house, but it's a good thing that you can repair it with your heart. Village Chief Wang, don't worry. I, Xu Miaomiao, am not that stingy."
I believe Gu Yuanniang must have known this, so she agreed to Village Chief Wang's request.
Seeing that Xu Miaomiao was really not angry, Village Chief Wang took a few people to slowly open the door.
But as soon as they entered the yard, everyone was stunned by a strange sound.
Li Yi, who was standing by, blushed when he heard the woman's panting in the room. He was too embarrassed to move forward. Dabao's face also turned pale, as if he had heard some dirty words, and he was too disdainful to go in.
Seeing this, Xu Miaomiao immediately said, "You two wait for me outside."
After Xu Miaomiao spoke, Dabao and Li Yi immediately walked out of the yard.
Village Chief Wang's face also turned pale and he immediately walked into the house.
Xu Miaomiao was not in a hurry to go in. If she went in now, she was afraid she would see something dirty. Instead of going in, Xu Miaomiao was attracted by a house next to it. The door of the house was tightly closed and there was a lock on it. Xu Miaomiao couldn't help but go forward to take a look out of curiosity.
Wang Mang lost his leg in the woods before, so he must have felt uncomfortable. Therefore, there would definitely not be any place to cook in this house. However, this house was tightly closed. Xu Miaomiao was still curious and took a step closer to the house to take a peek.
As soon as Xu Miaomiao focused her eyes on the crack in the door, she was startled and stepped back in fear.
Through that door, she saw a look and a woman, but she was unkempt and it was hard to tell that she had had any plastic surgery.
Hearing Xu Miaomiao's voice, the two people outside the door immediately walked in. Li Yi and Dabao looked at the frightened Xu Miaomiao and immediately said, "Master, are you okay?"
Xu Miaomiao tried hard to regain her composure, but the despair in that look she had just seen was still hard to forget. She could only wave at Dabao and said, "Go open the door."
Dabao nodded and walked forward with Li Yi.
Xu Miaomiao took a deep breath and walked towards the house. The whole house was filled with a strange atmosphere. Wang Mang, with his upper body naked, looked at Xu Miaomiao teasingly. A beautiful lady was sitting next to him.
Coincidentally, Xu Miaomiao knew this lady.
It was none other than Lady Honglian from the brothel in Bai County.
Seeing that it was Xu Miaomiao, the woman touched her hair and said, "It turned out to be Madam Xu. I thought it was someone else."
