The man handed the pheasant and rabbit to Shi Yi and Xiaohua, walked to the cart, put on the rope, and then pulled Ye Lingfeng and followed the village chief's wife into the village.

Ye Lingfeng said: "Thank you."

Shi Yi and Xiao Hua followed behind with things in their hands.

Like most farmhouses, the houses in the village have walls made of mud, straw mixed with a small amount of glutinous rice paste. Every household has a wooden door.

Because the village is located at the foot of a mountain and there are many wild animals, the walls of each household are relatively high.

When we arrived at the village chief's house, it was the same house.

After sending them to the village chief's house, the man took his belongings and left.

I will repay this favor after I settle down.

Shi Yi took the pass, a pheasant, and a bag of the same candy, and entered the village chief's house.

It was easily done.

The village chief's name is He Yuanyi, and he looks like an honest and reliable person.

"Uncle village chief, thank you for taking us in. I shot this pheasant on the way here. This bag of candy is for the children at home. Don't think it's too little."

Village Chief He sat on a chair in the main room with a smile on his face:

"Eleven, you're too polite! Your husband is not in good health and it's not easy at home."

Shi Yi smiled and glanced at Village Chief He:

"Village head, we are new here and have nowhere to live. Are there any old houses in our village or houses for sale?"

The village chief drank a sip of tea and thought hard:

“It seems there is no suitable house…”

At this time, the village head's wife grabbed a handful of melon seeds and stuffed them into Shi Yi's hand, then rolled her eyes at her old man:

"How come there isn't one? Old man, have you forgotten? The house of Mr. He at the west end of the village..."

The village chief slapped his forehead and said excitedly:

"I remember now! There is a house at the west end of the village. It used to be the house of Mr. He from our village. Later, he married the county magistrate's daughter and moved to the county town. He asked me to help him sell the house. But the price is a bit high, and our village doesn't allow outsiders to enter, so it has not been sold yet."

Shi Yi bit her lip, twisted her hands together, and asked guiltily, "Village Chief, how much is this house?"

The village chief's eyebrows twitched and he said softly, "Twenty taels of silver."

"So many?" Shi Yi's eyebrows were tightly furrowed.

The village chief also sighed:

"His house is one of the more sturdy ones in our village, and it has many rooms. Let me take you to have a look."

"That's great! Thank you, Village Chief!"

Following the village chief out of the house, he saw Ye Lingfeng sitting on a cart.

"Hello, village chief! Our family is sorry for causing trouble to you and the village." Ye Lingfeng bowed.

"It's okay. Everyone has difficulties sometimes, right He Feng? There is a house in the village that can be sold, but it's a bit expensive. I'll take you two to have a look."

"Then I'll trouble you, village chief!"

"From now on, we are from the same village and the same tribe. Don't be polite."

Shi Yi and Xiaohua pulled the cart and followed the village chief towards the west end of the village.

I met many villagers on the way.

"Hello, village chief! Who is this?" a villager asked.

The village chief put his hands behind his back, glanced at the villagers, and said with a smile:

"This is the He Feng family who are new to our village. Please take good care of them in the future."

"Okay, don't worry, Village Chief."

It took them a cup of tea to finally reach Mr. He's house.

This house is a single house with no neighbors in front, behind, or on either side.

Because no one has lived here for almost two years, the courtyard walls are covered with patches of grass and vines.

The wooden door was also a bit worn out. The village chief took out the key and opened the door with some effort.

I pushed open the gate and saw the tall weeds swaying in the wind. Two mice squeaked and disappeared somewhere...

The roof was covered with layers of straw, some of which had rotted.

The village chief introduced the house, which had a main house for receiving guests, a kitchen, a bathroom, two separate guest rooms for men and women, and eight or nine bedrooms, arranged in the shape of a U.

The house is big, but a bit shabby.

Shi Yi looked back at Ye Lingfeng who was sitting on the cart at the door and raised her eyebrows.

Ye Lingfeng nodded.

"Eleven, why don't you go ask your boss, is that okay?"

Seeing the condition of the house, the village chief was also a little worried.

"Okay, village chief." Shi Yi smiled at the village chief.

Running to Ye Lingfeng, Shi Yi blinked her big eyes and said, "Husband, what do you think of this house?"

Ye Lingfeng raised his eyebrows, a little hesitant:

"The house is pretty good, and the price is acceptable, but it's too run-down, and I'm not in good health, so I don't know when it can be repaired. We have nowhere to stay!"

Ye Lingfeng raised his eyebrows.

"He Feng, don't worry about that. My three sons will come to help you repair the house in a while, and I guarantee that your family can move in tonight!"

"Then I am really grateful!" Ye Lingfeng expressed his gratitude at the right time.

"Haha, I can make a few taels of silver from selling this house, not bad, it will give me some money for my grandson's snacks in the second half of the year!"

The village chief's voice was heard like thunder.

"Eleven, take the silver and give it to the village chief! We'll have to trouble the village chief for the land deeds and house deeds!" Ye Lingfeng looked at Shi Yi with an intimate tone. In the corner where no one was paying attention, Ye Lingfeng stretched out three fingers.

Shi Yi glanced at his hand, took out a purse hesitantly, looked at the village chief cautiously, then hardened her heart, took out some change from the purse, and handed the purse to the village chief.

"Village chief, this is the money for buying the house. I'll trouble you to go get the title deed and the land deed. I'll also trouble your brothers to repair the house!"

The village chief smiled as he put away his purse, handed the key to Ye Lingfeng, and patted his chest:

"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything else! You can go into the house and take a rest first, I'll have someone come this afternoon! Oh, and the furniture in the house was given by Mr. He's family. Just clean it up and fix it up and you can use it."

"Thank you, village chief!"

Looking at the village chief's back as he happily left with his hands behind his back, Shi Yi lowered her head and smiled silently.

I looked at several rooms one by one and found that most of them still had furniture and could be used with simple repairs.

Shi Yi also found a dirty, old, and oily mahogany chair in a room.

Call Xiaohua in and ask her to clean the chair. Sprinkle some 84 on the rag secretly, spray some detergent on the chair, and Xiaohua starts to work.

There was a well with bluestone slabs in the corner of the yard. The windlass used to pump water from buckets had fallen into disrepair and the rope was almost rotten.

Xiaohua quickly wiped the chair clean and placed it on the table under the eaves.

Shi Yi took the quilt from the carriage, spread it on the chair, then carried Ye Lingfeng in and put him on the chair.

Ye Lingfeng's face turned a little red. After all, he was still embarrassed to be hugged by a girl.

Zhao Zhao was still sleeping soundly on the cart. Shi Yi brought him in and put him in Ye Lingfeng's arms, then brought in the mattress from the cart and covered them.

"Is Brother He Feng home?"

Suddenly, a loud and slightly intimate voice came from outside the door...
