We have to be careful. Disasters are happening everywhere, and the mountain isnt particularly peaceful. Otherwise, there wouldnt be such a large pack of wolves coming down the mountain. Tian Jingzhong agreed.

When everyone heard this, they immediately wilted. If they really thought about it, it wasnt impossible for something to happen.

Does anyone else have any more objections? If not, go back and discuss it. Well decide on the arrangement. You have to give me a reply in the afternoon. The village chief said.

After the crowd discussed a little more, they all turned around and went home.

Just as Zhou Ying was about to leave, the village chief shouted, Zhou Ying, wait a moment.

He politely said a few words to Tian Jingzhong, sent him away, and walked to Zhou Ying.

Grandpa Qian, whats the matter? Zhou Ying went straight to the point.

I remember that Qian Zhuang was working for you. Do you know where he is now? I have something to discuss with him.

Qian Zhuang? Hes in the manor with Manager Liu and the others to protect the white potatoes. Ill go and call him over now.

Ill go with you.

Ill go too. The patriarch said.

He knew very well that the village chief would ask Qian Zhuang to lend his daughter a house to live in.

It just so happened that Gu Erjiangs house was also empty. If someone in their clan could borrow it, he could settle one or two households in the village.

Lets go and come back early. The weather should be getting hot soon. Zhou Ying responded, and then the three rushed directly to the manor.

Finally, in the white potato field, they found Qian Zhuang and the others, who were rummaging through the white potato vines. Zhou Ying called them over and said, The village chief and the patriarch are looking for you two.

After speaking, she bade the village chief and the patriarch farewell, walking toward the white potato field.

The two of them wiped the sweat off their foreheads and asked, Third Grandpa (village chief), Uncle Gu (First Uncle), what are you looking for us for?

Theres something we want to discuss with you two.

I didnt expect you guys to work so hard. How is it? Have you saved enough money to marry?

If you have enough, well be your matchmaker. With a smile, the village chief said.

The two of them immediately blushed and scratched their heads. We have saved enough, but lets wait until the drought is over and we renovate our house.

It looks like you two are quite ambitious, the village chief paused for a moment before saying with a smile.

To be honest, Im here to rent your house for your Aunt Lans family, he said to Qian Zhuang.

My house?

My house is in such ruins that you can see the sky at night. Qian Zhuang was stunned by his request.

I know, but its still livable after some simple repairs. I just wonder if youll suddenly return to the village.

Qian Zhuang went silent for a moment. If Aunt Lan is staying, then I wont go back for the time being, he said. Ill return when the house can be renovated in the spring.

Are you sure?

Im sure. Staying in the manor is a better life for a single man like me.

At least theres someone to talk to at night, and there are always ready-made meals to eat.

Then its settled. How about I rent the house for one tael of silver every six months?

No need. Youve been taking care of me all these years. You can always help me when Im renovating my house next year.

Alright, then leave the house repairs to me. Ill find you a beautiful wife in the future. With a smile, the village chief said.

Ill be waiting. Qian Zhuang smiled and nodded.

After hearing what they said, Gu Erjiang looked at the patriarch and asked, Uncle, youre also here for the house?

Yes, the patriarch nodded and told him about the situation in the village, Dont worry. Well vet those who rent your house. We wont let anyone with bad character stay in the village.

The patriarch paused for a moment before continuing, Of course, its also possible that no one would rent it..
