“We have to be careful. Disasters are happening everywhere, and the mountain isn’t particularly peaceful. Otherwise, there wouldn’t 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 wasn’t impossible for something to happen.

“Does anyone else have any more objections? If not, go back and discuss it. We’ll 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, what’s 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? He’s in the manor with Manager Liu and the others to protect the white potatoes. I’ll go and call him over now.”

“I’ll go with you.”

“I’ll 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 Erjiang’s house was also empty. If someone in their clan could borrow it, he could settle one or two households in the village.

“Let’s 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?”

“There’s something we want to discuss with you two.

“I didn’t expect you guys to work so hard. How is it? Have you saved enough money to marry?

“If you have enough, we’ll 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 let’s 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, I’m here to rent your house for your Aunt Lan’s 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 it’s still livable after some simple repairs. I just wonder if you’ll suddenly return to the village.”

Qian Zhuang went silent for a moment. “If Aunt Lan is staying, then I won’t go back for the time being,” he said. “I’ll return when the house can be renovated in the spring.”

“Are you sure?”

“I’m sure. Staying in the manor is a better life for a single man like me.

“At least there’s someone to talk to at night, and there are always ready-made meals to eat.”

“Then it’s settled. How about I rent the house for one tael of silver every six months?”

“No need. You’ve been taking care of me all these years. You can always help me when I’m renovating my house next year.”

“Alright, then leave the house repairs to me. I’ll find you a beautiful wife in the future.” With a smile, the village chief said.

“I’ll be waiting.” Qian Zhuang smiled and nodded.

After hearing what they said, Gu Erjiang looked at the patriarch and asked, “Uncle, you’re also here for the house?”

“Yes,” the patriarch nodded and told him about the situation in the village, “Don’t worry. We’ll vet those who rent your house. We won’t let anyone with bad character stay in the village.”

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