Song Zhili and He Chengjing chatted as they walked back. Some villagers passed by and saw them, but they didn't recognize them and only stopped for a while before leaving.

When Song Zhili returned home, she saw that Song Ziming had already come back.

"Sister, hey, Brother He, what are you doing here? And is that carriage over there yours?"

When Song Ziming and Hu Yan returned from the fields, they saw the carriage parked not far away. They ran over to take a look, but when they saw that there was no one inside, they turned back and saw He Chengjing. They immediately made the connection.

"Yes, I just happened to be here to take care of some business, and then I saw you all here too."

The breeze in the nearby tree also heard He Chengjing's words and almost fell to the ground.

Master's lying skills are truly remarkable. He clearly couldn't see Miss Song, but after inquiring about her whereabouts, he came over.

"Oh, what a coincidence! This is my grandma's house. Brother He, would you like to come in and have a glass of water?"

Song Ziming genuinely thought He Chengjing was just passing by and warmly invited him into the courtyard.

"it is good."

He Chengjing followed Song Ziming inside, but Song Zhili did not follow. "Ziming, you stay and talk to He Chengjing for a while. I'm going to the fields."

"Oh well."

Song Ziming responded and led He Chengjing into the courtyard, pouring him a bowl of hot water.

Song Zhili then came to the edge of Hu Cuicui's field and saw them all busy working in the field. She called out loudly to Hu Cuicui, "Mother, come here for a moment, I have something I want to tell you."

Hearing Song Zhili's call, Hu Cuicui walked towards her. "What's wrong, Da Ya? What do you want to tell me?"

"Mom, are you almost done with your work? Why don't you stop for a bit? This isn't the place to talk. Let's go back and talk. You can call Grandma and Uncle."

Hearing Song Zhili's words, Hu Cuicui knew that Song Zhili would not ask them to stop their work without a reason, something must have happened. "Okay, I'll go tell them."

Song Zhili didn't leave either, but waited for Hu Cuicui to inform them. Then they stopped what they were doing and followed Hu Cuicui up from the edge of the field.

When they got home together and saw He Chengjing, Hu Cuicui and Song Dashan were both stunned. "Young man from the He family, what are you doing here?"

When He Chengjing heard Song Dashan's question, he repeated his previous explanation.

Seeing that everyone had returned, Song Zhili went up and closed the door. Then she went to Wu Xiue's side and took out the land deed for the house. "Grandma, I brought back the land deed for your house. You can decide whether to sell the house again or move back. But I suggest you sell the house."

Wu Xiue was illiterate and couldn't understand the contents of the land deed. Since Song Zhili said it was the land deed for their house, then it must be.

"Da Ya, how did you get this land deed back? Did something happen?"

Hu Zhengxing was the first to react, because he knew Qiao's personality. If nothing had happened, it would have been harder than climbing to heaven to get the land deed back from her.

When Song Zhili heard someone asking, she didn't hide anything and told everyone what had just happened. After listening, everyone looked at each other, their faces showing lingering fear.

"Da Ya, are you alright? There are so many of them, are you hurt?"

After listening, Hu Cuicui got up and pulled Song Zhili around to look her over.

"Mother, I'm fine. I just happened to run into He Chengjing, and he helped me chase them away."

When Hu Cuicui heard that Song Zhili had been saved by He Chengjing again, she glanced at He Chengjing gratefully. The more she looked at him, the more pleasing he seemed. If only Da Ya had married He Chengjing instead of Gu Changqing back then.

"Mom, what are you thinking about? Let me tell you, why don't you persuade Grandma to sell the house and buy a piece of land in our village? Then we'll be closer to each other, and you won't have to worry about Grandma and the others' safety."

Song Zhili spoke these words in Hu Cuicui's ear. After listening, Hu Cuicui thought Song Zhili's suggestion was excellent, nodded, and walked over to Wu Xiue to share her idea.

"Grandma, Mom's suggestion is excellent. After we're together, we can see each other more often and won't have to travel so far anymore. And if any bad guys come, I'll protect you. I'm very strong, you know."

Song Ziming also stepped forward and joined Hu Cuicui in persuading them.

At first, Wu Xiu'e hesitated, but even Wu Zhengqing and Wu Zhengxing came out to persuade her, and Wu Xiu'e finally nodded in agreement.

"Grandma, since you've already agreed, why don't I go with you to the village chief now and get this done?"

Song Zhili was afraid that she would change her mind, so she pulled her to go to the village chief to get things done so that they could go back early and Song Zhili wouldn't have to squeeze into a room with so many of them.

Upon hearing that Song Zhili was going to sell the house to the village chief, Wu Xiu'e began to hesitate again. Song Zhili was afraid that she would do this, so she stepped forward, pulled her up without saying a word, and walked together towards the village chief's house.

When they arrived at the village chief's house and explained their purpose, the village chief was quite surprised. He had originally wanted to try to persuade them, but seeing that they had already made up their minds, he didn't say anything more.

“Your house may not be sold anytime soon, and it’s uncertain when it will be sold. Also, Ms. Wu, are you really going to sell all this land? You should think it over carefully.”

“We’ll sell, we’ll all sell. We’ll have to trouble the village chief. You’ve helped my grandma’s family so much, so we won’t wait for the money from selling the house. We’ll just ask the village chief to use the money from the sale to help my grandma repay the families who lent us money before. We’ll let them know when the time comes.”

There's still some grain in that field; could the village chief please help us find someone to harvest it? We can leave that grain with them; we don't want it anymore.

After Song Zhili finished speaking, both the village chief and Wu Xiu'e were extremely surprised. When Wu Xiu'e heard Song Zhili say that she didn't want the grain, her heart was bleeding.

The village chief was the same; the house and land had been sold, and they would have gotten at least seven or eight taels of silver, but they didn't want it.

"Mrs. Wu, do you really intend to do this?"

The village chief asked Wu Xiu'e again, "Well, let's do as my niece said. We also thank the village chief for helping us so much. We plan to move away from here in the future."

Hearing Wu Xiue say this, he realized that they were leaving. He pondered for a while, then sighed, "Fine, since you are leaving, I will help you sell your house and land."

Here's what we'll do: I'll give you the money for this house and land first, to cover your debts. That way, you won't lose too much.

Wu Xiu'e thought for a moment and realized that they owed about one tael of silver in total, so she told the village chief.

"Okay, wait here for me for a while."
