As Village Chief Han stood up, the family members behind him also stood up.

Before Xu Miao could sit back in her chair, Aunt Han started yelling while holding the child in one hand and grabbing Village Chief Han's sleeve with the other.

"Master, you're just going to give all these deeds to this little girl. I won't accept it. I don't recognize any other family head, I only recognize you!"

He turned around and glared at Xu Miao and said, "Where did you come from, you wild girl? You came here and wanted to take advantage of me. Do you know how much effort my child's grandfather has put into this Hanjia Village over the years?"

"Bah, you want something ready-made when you get here? No way!"

Xu Miao ignored Aunt Han's crazy shouting, straightened his back and sat back in his chair, and said to Aunt Han with a smile: "Aunt Han, do you believe that I will sell you out right now?"

"After I sell you, I'll buy Uncle Han a new aunt. There are plenty of people for sale in Dingzhou City. I can buy a young, beautiful and obedient girl for just a few bucks."

Xu Miao stayed in Dingzhou City for three or four days. When he was strolling on the street, he found that there were many people waiting on the street corners with signs hanging up to sell their goods.

There were all kinds of people, young and old, men and women. They must be from poor families who had no other choice but to sell themselves to rich families to beg for food.

When seeing this scene, Chun'er cried to Xu Miao, saying that when she was a child, she also waited at the street corner with a sign hanging on her head. Later, she was seen by Zhao who was selling servants and was taken into Xu's house.

Besides, Xu Miao had just heard from Village Chief Han that these deeds were registered with the government and were definitely official documents.

In ancient times, it was very normal for a master holding formal documents to sell a person who had signed a death contract with her.

Not to mention that Xu Miao wanted to sell Aunt Han, even if he beat her to death, the government would not be able to find any crime to charge her with.

These are all death contracts, and they are for life.

When Aunt Han heard Xu Miao say this, she immediately fell silent.

She didn't think about whether it was a life-or-death contract or not. Her child's grandfather was a hot commodity in the village, and the young widows in the village would always hang out with him whenever they had nothing to do.

Especially the widow Zhao from the previous village, she smiled like a flower when she saw the child's grandfather.

If these women weren't afraid of her and her sons, they would have sneaked into their house through the dog hole long ago.

Seeing his wife making a fuss, Village Chief Han yelled, "What are you doing? This is the main house."

"I told you what happened when we got married. I think you've forgotten it over the years. I, Han Zhongcheng, am not a traitor."

"The time I've put into Murakami over the years was my own will; no one forced me!"

Xu Miaocai ignored the couple's conversation, picked up the black iron box and was about to walk out.

This black iron box contains treasures, so please take good care of it and don't lose it.

When Village Chief Han saw Xu Miao stand up and walk out, he quickly followed behind Xu Miao and said, "Master, there is a big house in the village. It was built when the village was first established."

"It has been empty for many years and no one lives there, just waiting for the owner to come and move in."

"If you plan to live in Hanjia Village permanently, I will take people to clean the house. Now that it's still light, we can light a good fire and move in tonight."

When Xu Miao heard this, he hurriedly stopped and thought there was such a good thing.

Xu Miao originally planned to spend some money to find a family to stay with in the village first, and then wait until tomorrow to see if there were any suitable vacant houses in the village. If there were any suitable houses, he would buy them and live in them.

When Village Chief Han saw Xu Miao stop, he turned around and walked to the cabinet that was more than one meter tall, opened the drawer under the cabinet, and took out a key from it.

Village Chief Han took the key and said to his four sons, "Go to the big house and help clean it. Remember to bring some wood to keep it warm."

Only then did Xu Miao have the mood to look around the house of Village Chief Han. This room was probably a living room for meeting guests.

In addition to a desk and several chairs against the wall, there is also a large cabinet against the other wall.

The house was quite large, but apart from these two items, there was nothing else. It was obvious that they were from a poor family.

Xu Miao looked at the four strong men again and couldn't help but sigh.

I guess all the money in this family is spent on their own things. To support these four ferocious sons, they will eventually go bankrupt.

When Xu Miao happily appeared beside Zhou Jicheng holding the black iron box, Zhou Jicheng was standing at the gate training the dog.

"Damn Dahei, I couldn't find you when I needed you urgently, so why are you running back now?"

"Damn dog, did you go out and tease the dog again?"

Zhou Jicheng pointed at a little yellow dog wagging its tail in the distance and cursed.

The little yellow dog probably saw that there were more people on their side, so it didn't dare to come forward and hid far behind them, looking at them.

In addition to the little yellow dog secretly observing the situation on their side, the villagers were also gathered not far away and whispered.

"Uncle, what serious crime did Village Chief Han commit? Why did these soldiers come to their house, and there are two women among them?"

"Just now I saw a woman follow Village Chief Han into the house. Could it be that old Han got into trouble outside? Otherwise, why would a girl bring people to our house?"

The old man who was called his uncle was the one who showed Xu Miao the way when they first entered the village.

The old man stroked the few hairs on his chin and analyzed, "I don't think it's the village chief who caused the trouble. That little girl didn't even cry when she saw Old Han."

"Besides, the Han family's wife didn't make a fuss. If Old Han got into trouble outside, his tiger wife would definitely make a big fuss."

"Listen, is there any movement in this yard?"

Everyone thought it was true. With the fierceness of the Han family's wife, if she knew that Village Chief Han was having an affair outside, she would definitely cause a death.

When everyone saw Xu Miao coming out of the yard holding a box, they hurriedly stopped talking and stretched their necks to look towards the gate.

There haven't been any outsiders in the village for a long time, let alone bringing up anything new.

Once there is something new, everyone gets very excited.

Especially since this new thing concerns Village Chief Han. Old Han always walks around the village with a stern face when he has nothing to do. If something happens to him, the whole village will be happy for half a year.

After a while, the villagers saw Village Chief Han leading his sons out of the yard.

Some of the sons were holding brooms, some were holding dustpans, and some were holding wood for burning in their arms.

As soon as Village Chief Han walked out of his courtyard, villagers greeted him from afar: "Old Han, what happened to your family? Why are there so many soldiers guarding your door?"

The villager didn't have the courage to ask Village Chief Han why a woman followed him into the yard.

Village Chief Han didn't answer the villagers' questions. Instead, he shouted at the top of his voice, "Everyone go to the big house and help clean it. The master from the capital has arrived."

"Go home and bring some firewood. The house is big and it takes a lot of firewood. Don't let the host get too cold."

"Go!"

When the villagers heard this, they suddenly realized that it was the host who came from the capital.

Since they moved into Hanjia Village, they signed a contract to sell themselves with Village Chief Han. They knew that Hanjia Village belonged to the main family in the capital, but they had never seen what the main family that Village Chief Han mentioned looked like over the years.

It turns out that the hostess is a beautiful young lady. No wonder this old man Han never knows anything about anything.
