It seems the Zhao family's affair isn't over yet, and Xiao Cao is taking this child seriously.
Zhao Tingzhang sat in the ancestral hall, watching the dark mass of people outside.
He planned to wait until almost everyone had arrived before speaking, so he didn't say anything for the time being.
However, some busybodies had already mustered up the courage to come up and inquire, but Chief Zhao only glanced at them and did not intend to say anything more.
Among the crowd, the Zhao family was naturally present. Even the newlyweds, Zhao Tiezhu and Han Xiuer, were there.
Han Xiu and Wan Cunhua arrived one after the other. Standing in the passageway of the ancestral hall, they saw Zhao Xiaocao standing inside.
The two looked at each other, neither knowing what to say.
"What's going on? Why are there so many people?" Cheng slowly pushed her way forward from behind.
She's always been someone who loves to join in the fun, and she always has to be at the forefront to see things clearly.
Cheng rudely pushed her way forward through the crowd, which aroused much dissatisfaction among the other women in the village.
"Village beauty, what's going on here?"
Wan Cunhua glanced at her third aunt, who was pushing her way forward, and didn't know how to start the conversation.
Han Xiu also looked troubled; she had heard about yesterday's events from Tie Zhu.
Tie Zhu also told her about Xiao Cao's situation at home, and Han Xiu suddenly felt that it was very similar to her own situation.
Therefore, she couldn't help but feel sorry for Zhao Xiaocao.
Cheng squeezed forward and roughly pushed Han Xiu and Wan Cunhua apart.
When Cheng saw Zhao Xiaocao and He Tiantian still standing in the ancestral hall, her face turned even uglier than if she had eaten shit.
"That damned ingrate!" Cheng cursed through gritted teeth.
Immediately afterwards, she quietly squeezed into the ancestral hall and found Zhao Xiangnan.
Standing in the middle of the ancestral hall, Zhao Tingzhang naturally witnessed this scene.
He coughed seriously, and the people below immediately fell silent.
"Alright, I think it's about time. I have a very important announcement to make today, one that concerns everyone in our village."
After Zhao Tingzhang finished speaking, the villagers who came became even more puzzled and curious.
It concerns everyone in the village, so it's a really big deal.
"What's the matter, Pavilion Chief?" Wang Dazhuang, a tall man standing to the side, asked curiously.
"Yes, is there some good news going to happen in our village?"
Zhao, the pavilion chief, waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.
He paused for a moment before continuing, "It's also a happy occasion. Over the years, our village has sold land, and the households have accumulated quite a bit of money..."
Upon hearing this, everyone tensed up.
The women outside, who had long been interested in the matter, immediately erupted in excitement.
It's common knowledge in the village that land was being sold, and quite a lot of land was sold, probably for a considerable sum of money.
But now that the land has been sold, where did the money go? How much money was there in total?
This has always been a topic worthy of gossip and reflection.
These women often mentioned this matter when they were gossiping together.
But none of them dared to ask the village head for clarification.
