A renowned ancient physician transmigrates into the body of an abandoned woman, only to be sold off

Hu Cuicui and the others loaded the remaining items onto the new oxcart.

Then Song Zhili led the children onto the carriage, while the others sat on the two oxcarts, and they set off towards Peach Blossom Village.

Along the way out of the village, some villagers saw Wu Xiu'e sitting on an oxcart with so many things packed up, and they would ask her a few questions out of curiosity.

Wu Xiu'e simply exchanged a few words with them and sent them on their way.

They then continued walking until they reached the county town. There, they ate something simple and then set off again.

He Chengjing and Qingfeng were sitting outside the carriage, driving it at a very slow speed to wait for Song Dashan and Song Zidong.

A day passed in the blink of an eye, and they finally returned to Peach Blossom Village.

When Li returned home, she was quite surprised to see that Hu Cuicui and the others had brought Wu Xiue and the others with them. However, she didn't think much of it and went straight to the door to help them unload the things from the oxcart into the house.

However, when Wu Xiue, Hu Zhengqing, and Hu Zhengxing saw the house where Song Zhili and the others were staying, they were all dumbfounded and stood there for a long time, unable to come back to their senses.

"Cui Cui, is this really your house? How come it's so big? I remember we've been here before, and it didn't seem this big. And it's all brick and tile houses, it must have cost a lot of money!"

Wu Xiue rubbed her eyes hard, and asked Hu Cuicui in disbelief. Hu Zhengxing and Hu Zhengqing were the same, and they all looked at Hu Cuicui in surprise, waiting for her answer.

"Hehe, yes, Mother, these are our eldest brother and second brother. Come in quickly, don't block the doorway."

Hu Cuicui pulled Wu Xiue into the courtyard. There were still a few empty rooms in their house. It might be a bit crowded for Wu Xiue and her family to come over, but at least it wouldn't be as crowded as it was in their thatched hut before.

"Mom, please arrange a room for Grandma and the others. Uncle, come with me, I'll take you to see the village chief."

When Hu Zhengqing heard Song Zhili call him, he snapped out of his daze and followed Song Zhili blankly as they headed towards the village chief's house.

Along the way, Song Zhili encountered many villagers, who would greet her warmly whenever they saw her.

Song Zhili would politely smile and nod in response. Seeing that the villagers were so easy to get along with, Hu Zhengqing felt a little relieved.

On the way here, he kept thinking that if the villagers here were difficult to get along with, they might be ostracized by the villagers in the future.

In retrospect, his previous concerns were completely unnecessary.

"Da Ya, the house your family built is so big, how much silver did it cost? Is land cheap in your village? Can we afford it? But we only have a few taels of silver, is that enough?"

"Uncle, don't worry. If you don't have enough money, I have more. Uncle, it's too late for you to start planting crops now. When you buy the land, you can join us in planting chili peppers and radishes."

"What is a chili pepper? Why grow it?"

Hu Zhengqing had never heard of chili peppers before, and now he looked completely bewildered when Song Zhili mentioned them.

"Uncle, let's not talk about this now. We've arrived at the village chief's house. Wait here for me a moment while I go knock on the door."

Song Zhili and the others arrived at the village chief's house. They stepped forward and gently knocked on the door. Song Feng came out of the yard and, seeing that it was Song Zhili, asked her with surprise.

"Da Ya, you're back? Did you come here to collect the money for the deliveries these past few days? Wait here, I'll go get it for you right now."

Song Zidong has been away for the past few days. When they left earlier, Song Zhili asked Song Feng to help deliver goods to Jixiang Restaurant.

Since Jixiang Restaurant pays its customers in cash every day, he had been helping with the deliveries for the past few days, and the money was with him. When he saw Song Zhili return, he assumed that Song Zhili had come to ask him for the money.

"Brother Song, don't rush that. Is Grandpa Village Chief home? I need to talk to him about something."

Seeing that Song Feng was about to go inside, Song Zhili quickly called out to him.

“My grandpa is over at the fishpond right now. Da Ya, do you need to see him? Come in and sit for a while. I’ll go and call him back right now.”

After Song Feng finished speaking, he ran outside.

"Let's go, Uncle, let's go inside and sit down to wait."

After finishing her speech, Song Zhili was about to walk towards the village chief's courtyard, but before she could take two steps, Hu Zhengqing grabbed her arm.

"Da Ya, the village chief isn't here. Is it alright for us to just go in like this?"

"It's alright, Uncle. I'm quite familiar with the village chief's family. Let's sit and wait in the yard. The village chief won't blame us."

As she spoke, Song Zhili pulled Hu Zhengqing to the village chief's courtyard, where the two of them sat down on a stone bench.

Before long, the village chief and Song Feng returned together.

"Da Ya, I heard from Xiao Feng that you were looking for me. What happened that you're in such a hurry?"

When Song Zhili saw the village chief return, she immediately stood up from her chair and introduced Hu Zhengqing to the village chief, "Village chief, this is my uncle. It's like this, my uncle and his family also want to settle down in our village in the future."

"Grandpa Village Chief, do you see if there are any spare houses in the village? I'd like to buy them, and I'd also like to buy some of this land."

After listening to Song Zhili's words, the village chief thought about it carefully and said, "Da Ya, what a coincidence! There is a family in our village who wants to sell their house. You even know this person. Why don't you buy their house?"

When Song Zhili heard the village chief say that someone was selling a house, she thought, "What a coincidence!"

"Grandpa Village Chief, who wants to sell their house? You think I know them?"

"Oh, it's the Liu family. You know her son passed away recently. Just a few days ago, she came to me saying she wanted to sell her house."

When Song Zhili heard that it was Liu's family, she thought about the size of the house. It was big enough for Wu Xiu'e and the others, but the house was a bit dilapidated. It would be good to renovate it later.

"Grandpa Village Chief, how much silver is she planning to sell it for?"

Upon hearing this, the village chief held up five fingers. "Liu told me before that if anyone in the village wanted to buy it, she would sell it for five taels of silver."

Song Zhili's five taels of silver a day wasn't very expensive. She turned to Hu Zhengqing and asked, "Uncle, what do you think of this house? I went to see that house before. Apart from being a bit dilapidated, it's quite large and big enough for all of you to live in."

When Hu Zhengqing heard Song Zhili say this, he was very tempted, but he hesitated. He didn't have that much silver on him. Buying a house would cost five taels of silver, which would leave him with no money to buy land.

Song Zhili also noticed his embarrassment. Seeing that Hu Zhengqing had not agreed for a long time, she turned to the village chief and said.

“Grandpa Village Chief, why don’t we take my eldest uncle to Liu’s house for a look?”
