The arrogant little husband is desperately flirting with the hunter

Anning Town was very lively in the morning, with all kinds of small stalls lined up on both sides of the road. Aunts and aunts carried baskets and compared prices, young men and girls gathered around exquisite handmade jewelry, and children could not walk when they saw the food.

Chu Xiao looked at it with great curiosity, and a strong desire to shop arose in his heart. He wanted to buy this and that.

But when I think about the money in my pocket, I’m afraid there won’t be much left after buying a few big items.

Yan Zhenshen took Chu Xiao to the yamen first, and let Zhao Guizhi walk around first.

The county government office of Anning Town is located in the eastern part of the county. Most of the people living here are wealthy families, so it is naturally not as noisy as in the west of the city.

After crossing several streets, the two finally stopped at the gate of the county government office where two stone lions were placed. Muramasa was already waiting there.

After greeting them, the village chief led the two to a side door. He said to the gatekeeper, "Is Master Lu here?"

The yamen runner was dozing off. He glanced at the three people and said with a smile, "So you are the village chief of Anning Village. The chief clerk is here. You can just go in."

After saying that, he looked at the two people behind the village chief again, and felt a little envious when he saw Yan Zhenshen's strong physique.

After entering the side door, there were several rooms on both sides, all of which had their doors open. The village chief led them into a room on the left.

At this time, an old man with a gray beard was sitting at the table, frowning at something. The village chief stepped forward to greet him. "Master Lu, I am here to bother you again."

Yan Zhenshen and Chu Xiao also greeted him.

Chief Clerk Lu looked kind, but he was a bit rigid in his words. "You should do your job. Is it land transfer or house sale?"

As he spoke, he took a piece of paper and a pen from the table and handed it over, "Name, household registration, write it down."

The village chief took it as he was told. At this time, Chu Xiao took two steps forward and asked, "Master Lu, I want to change my name. Can you do that for me?"

Chu Xiaoxiao's physical appearance is actually quite good, but she has been wasted for many years and is now dark and thin. Although she hasn't gotten much better after a few days of care, at least her complexion looks much better.

Being stared at by his lively, deer-like eyes, the old-fashioned Master Lu softened his tone a little.

"Why do you want to change your name? Your body and hair are given by your parents, and your name also reflects their expectations for you."

"My parents died early. I was only five years old when they left. They didn't even give me a full name. My second uncle gave me this name, but my second uncle's family has always treated me badly. I was doing laundry and cooking when I was six years old, and working in the fields when I was ten years old. I was always hungry and cold. Now I'm sixteen years old, and their daughter has taken a fancy to my fiancé and snatched him away."

Chu Xiaobailian came online again, and he continued hesitantly: "They raised me, and even though they treated me badly, I don't blame them, but they shouldn't..."

Chu Bailian paused for a moment, and seeing that Lu Zhubu was listening seriously, she continued, "They shouldn't have ruined my Qingbai just to steal my fiancé. Some time ago, my cousin Chu Wanwan pushed me down, and my head hit the stove. I passed out. When I woke up, the villagers started to talk about it, saying that Brother Shen and I had an affair, but I haven't seen Brother Shen since I was eight years old, so how could there be an affair?"

"In order to make it completely true, Second Aunt went to the Yan family to force me to marry, saying that my youth and whiteness were not safe and the Yan family must marry me. This was to force me to death."

Chu Xiao felt that the atmosphere was so intense that he should cry a few tears, but he really couldn't cry. He pinched his thigh hard, and couldn't control his expression of pain, but still no tears came out.

There was no other way. He could only rub his eyes with his hands. If he didn't want to cry, then he wouldn't cry. His eyes would at least get red.

"Fortunately, Brother Shen knew my difficulties and was willing to marry me in a formal matchmaker, but Second Uncle asked for a dowry of ten taels of silver. Brother Shen couldn't afford it, and I swore to die rather than obey, so they kicked me out of the house and never allowed me to step out of the Chu family's gate again."

Yan Zhenshen didn't know what Chu Xiao was saying, but he just followed along. He grabbed Chu Xiao's hand and patted him on the back in a comforting way, "It's okay, I'll be there for you from now on."

At this time, Lu Zhubu's brows were furrowed into a knot. He also had a younger brother in his family. He had been married for many years and his life could not be said to be very good, but at least he was not tortured.

Now that he has become a grandfather, he gets furious when he thinks about how his little grandson is treated by other families.

In addition, although this boy looks well-behaved, he has his own ideas and people don't think he can be bullied at will. I think because of his age, he couldn't resist.

However, he couldn't believe one-sided words. He turned to look at the village chief and asked, "Is what this young man said true?"

"That's true." The village chief stood there not daring to breathe. He never expected Chu Xiao to do this to him.

Lu Zhubu stood up and walked to Yan Zhenshen with his hands behind his back: "Are you going to marry him?"

Yan Zhenshen nodded: "I am a hunter. Eight years ago, my father was injured and has been in need of medicine to recuperate. I also have brothers and sisters at home. I really can't afford ten taels of silver as a betrothal gift, so I can only let Brother Chu suffer."

Secretary Lu turned around, took a thick book from the bookshelf, and began to search through it.

Finally, as if he saw the answer he was looking for, his eyebrows relaxed for a moment, but then frowned tighter and tighter: "The Chu family you are talking about is the family of Chu Laoer. Eleven years ago, he registered Chu Xiaoge's household registration name as Chu Xiaoxiao."

"Yes." The village chief quickly responded.

Chu Xiao lowered his eyes and nodded.

Chief Lu walked over while looking at the land and asked the village chief, "The twelve acres of land and three tiled houses were all transferred to Old Second Chu's name. You were the one who brought them here to handle the matter, right?"

"It's me." The village chief was very nervous at the moment.

"There have been no major natural disasters in Anning Town in recent years. The output value of more than a dozen acres of land can provide food for more than a dozen people even if the harvest is poor. You only raise a little boy, but he still can't eat enough and wear warm clothes. Don't you see it, the village chief?"

The village chief was so frightened that he dared not speak.

Chu Xiao saw that the time was right, and hurriedly shook his head and explained anxiously: "Master Lu, Grandpa Lu, the village chief is very good. It was his help that allowed me to get six acres of land as a dowry. It's not that he doesn't want to take care of it, but my aunt is very fierce. The village chief has said it several times but it's useless. He will even treat me more harshly. The village chief is also doing it for my own good."

Yan Zhenshen gently stroked Chu Xiao's hair at the right time, and his tone was extremely gentle: "Don't worry, Lu Zhubu knows, he won't blame the village chief wrongly."

Lu Zhubu, who was about to get angry, was suppressed in an instant, and he softened his attitude, "Brother Chu, I understand your situation, but you also know that since ancient times, officials will not investigate if the people do not report it, and yours is indeed a family affair. Even if I help you report it to the county magistrate, it will be useless."

Chu Xiao nodded. He knew that he couldn't sue the Chu family, and he didn't want to sue the Chu family. "I know, Grandpa Lu, I just wanted to change my name. Although my last name is still Chu, I don't want to be called Xiaoxiao anymore. I want to live more freely in the future, so I'll change it to Xiao."

Chu Xiao would climb up as soon as he was given a pole. He just now deliberately called Grandpa Lu in a hurry. Since the man had no intention of objecting, he changed it accordingly.

"Okay, then change it. Grandpa Lu will help you change it personally." Lu Zhubu picked up the pen with a smile and wrote a big word 'Xiao'. "But what about this Xiao?"

"Yes, thank you, Grandpa Lu."

Lu Zhubu was also happy, but suddenly stopped smiling and began to look Yan Zhenshen up and down: "You are a very strong boy. Since you are going to marry Brother Chu as your husband, you must protect him well in the future and don't let him suffer anymore."

Yan Zhenshen listened carefully and nodded in response, "I will take good care of him in the future."
