Divorce her scumbag husband, marry the war king, and the hot wife gets rich through her spatial abil
Chapter 21 They're Not Worth It
The village chief, trembling, pointed at the household registration and sternly questioned Xiao Nan.
"Who arranged this for you?"
Xiao Nan smiled, looking at him mockingly, and said:
"I'm lucky. A while ago, I went to town and rescued an old lady. I heard she was from the Qiao family compound in the county. She not only gave me a lot of money, but also helped me get my household registration. If you don't believe me, you can go to her house and ask."
The village chief was stunned. He often went to the county town to do things for the villagers, so he naturally knew about Old Madam Qiao.
The fact that this girl could name him means she must have saved him; if he's that person's benefactor, then handling these small matters would be a piece of cake for her.
Xiao Nan was certain that the village chief in front of him would never ask, because he was not qualified and was just showing off his power in the village.
"Any thing else?"
The village chief, Ding Qing, looked closely and was relieved when he saw that Xiao Nan was the only name on the household registration.
His eyes darted around, and then he asked, "Then it's not legal for you to live with Granny Wang either."
Xiao Nan was almost laughing in anger: "This is Grandma's house. She can let whoever she wants stay here. Even the government can't interfere. What's wrong with you? Are you more powerful than the government? Do you think the village chief can change the law?"
The village chief's face turned pale. He pointed at Xiao Nan and said through gritted teeth.
"I never expected you to be so sharp-tongued, girl. I really underestimated you."
Just as he was about to turn and leave, Xiao Nan called out to him: "Don't come looking for trouble in the village all the time. People who know you will think you're taking advantage of us because we're old and vulnerable. People who don't know you will think you're after us."
The village chief stumbled and almost fell headfirst to the ground.
The girl's first words directly accused him of bullying widows and orphans, while her last words warned him that if he kept coming back, it would sound bad and he might not be able to live a good old age.
Xiao Nan spat at him as he fled in a disheveled state.
Regardless of this life or the next, the weak fear the strong, and the strong fear the reckless. If you risk your life to deal with these people, they can only cower like turtles.
However, even though the village chief fled, he still discovered some suspicious things about Wang Po's house when he arrived.
For example, both of them have the same adobe walls, so why did theirs get wet and collapse, but Wang Po's walls are perfectly fine and not wet at all?
He wouldn't believe it if there wasn't something fishy going on.
So, the village chief, who had just arrived at his doorstep, turned around and went to the Zhang family's house.
Xiao Nan didn't go back inside either, but stood at the gate of the courtyard watching. When he saw him go to the Zhang family, he frowned.
"Want to team up and mess with me? Sure," Xiao Nan called out softly.
"Longlong?"
"I'm here, Master!"
"Go, first set up the village chief's house, then listen to what he's discussing with that family, and then set up the Zhang family's house."
"Yes, Master."
Longlong went to the kitchen, took a wisp of fire from the stove, and flew directly to the village chief's house.
Xiao Nan went back to the courtyard and brought a stool. He sat at the courtyard gate, munching on a piece of fruit. At that moment, the old woman also came out from the main house.
She knew about the commotion, but she disliked the village chief and didn't want to see him. It would be best if the girl could get away with it.
The old woman came to the courtyard gate and asked, "Girl, what happened?"
Xiao Nan grinned: "The village chief tried to put me in a difficult position about the household registration issue, but I shut him down."
“What a shameless old man! When you were with the Zhang family, he didn’t dare to mess with you and never bothered with your household registration. But now that you’ve come here, he actually wants to bully us. If I’m angry, I’ll fight him to the death.”
"Hey, you should just live your life, they're not worth it."
At this moment, the village chief was on the upper floor of the Zhang family's house, talking to Zhang Dashan about Xiao Nan. The two of them were cursing and swearing, not saying a single nice word, and were about to discuss how to deal with Xiao Nan.
The village chief's gong rang, and upon hearing the noise, the village chief quickly got up and ran towards his house.
When he arrived, he was dumbfounded. His roof was engulfed in flames. It had just rained, and although the roof was thatched, there was still mud on it, and it wasn't completely dry. How could it be so big?
He held his head, squatted down, and felt like crying.
Just as Zhang Dashan and his family were standing at the gate of their yard watching the commotion, a burnt smell wafted over, and they turned around to look.
My goodness, our house is on fire too.
Their first reaction was to look towards Wang Po's house.
To her surprise, she saw Xiao Nan and Granny Wang sitting on a bench, chatting and laughing, and even eating. She was so angry that she almost fainted.
Without thinking too much, putting out the fire was the priority. Fortunately, only these two houses were on fire, and with the help of others, the fire was quickly extinguished. The walls were intact, but the roofs were gone.
They had to climb back up. Xiao Nan looked at all this and burst into laughter.
Although the old woman was happy to see this, she was still a little worried, so she asked Xiao Nan:
"Girl, if we just watch the show here, they won't hold a grudge against us, will they?"
Xiao Nan rolled his eyes: "Don't you hold grudges enough? One more won't make a difference."
When the fire was extinguished, Xiao Nan and his grandmother took their meal to the front of the courtyard and ate it.
Snow-white soy milk, paired with a thin pancake, filled with egg, vegetables, and some meat, rolled up together, is delicious and nutritious.
The villagers could only see them eating, but they couldn't see what they were eating, and they all spat in this direction.
Some even shouted, "If you don't help when your house is on fire, we won't come to help when your house catches fire either."
The old woman glared back at them: "You talk as if you came here when my house caught fire last time. Besides, I'm a widow and she's an orphan. How dare you say such things? Aren't you afraid of your tongues getting twisted in the wind?"
A shameless person will not feel ashamed no matter what you say; on the contrary, they will feel even more justified.
"Pah, back then our houses were all on fire, and everyone was just looking after themselves, but now only two houses are on fire."
Before the old woman could speak, Xiao Nan said, "Maybe you've done too many bad things, and even God can't stand it anymore. You put out the fire and angered God. Be careful, he might get angry."
After Xiao Nan finished speaking, the villagers turned green and ran home as fast as they could, as if they were afraid their houses would catch fire again.
She spat fiercely at the ground outside: "Pah, a bunch of cowards, what are they? They only have this much ability, yet they want to bully people."
From afar, the Zhang family members stood at their doorstep, their faces covered in dust and grime. They looked at Xiao Nan as if they had seen a ghost, a chill running down their spines.
Once again, they witnessed will-o'-the-wisps, unman-made, falling from the sky.
Zhang Dashan had a gut feeling that the two fires were definitely related to that bitch, but they had no evidence against her since she was standing at their own gate and there was no possibility that she had committed the crime.
Unless she is a ghost, or she used underhanded methods.
If I told anyone about these two things, no one would believe me. After all, if she had such methods, why would she have let her family struggle for so many years? Sigh!
Thinking of this, Zhang Dashan asked Qian Shi, "How is the matter with the Taoist priest?"
"I just finished working on this, and now there's a fire. You'll have to wait until I have some free time."
"You don't need to worry about the house. Just resolve this matter first, otherwise the house will catch fire again, and our village will never have peace."
"Then I'll go to the Taoist temple tomorrow, but I need the money."
"Let's ask first, and if it's too much, then forget it."
"All right"
The Zhang family wasn't particularly wealthy; they only owned ten mu of land. If it weren't for their eldest son's pension, they wouldn't be able to act so arrogantly in the village.
Just as the family was sitting in the courtyard, sighing and lamenting, Zhang Tingyu, the second son of the Zhang family, returned home.
He returned by oxcart. Xiao Nan, sitting at the courtyard gate, spotted him immediately.
This is the hatred that was ingrained in the original owner's bones. Don't be fooled by Zhang Tingyu's respectable appearance; despite his refined and elegant demeanor, he has done a lot of despicable things behind the scenes.
He had an affair with his sister-in-law, and he was also a womanizer. He was not overtly lustful, and everyone thought he was a virtuous gentleman. In reality, he would go for any woman he thought would not harm him.
He plans to discuss this with his parents when he goes home. He has taken a liking to the daughter of a wealthy family in town and wants to ask for her hand in marriage.
