The peasant girl has a private space, and her husband is handsome.

While everyone in the old house was arguing, Su Qianqian quietly went to the village chief's house.

Before you even push the door open, you can hear the village chief's wife scolding her son.

"Dog Egg, can't you do something serious? I heard you're always following Qian Yatou around. Today, when the siblings went to town, you went too, risking your life to protect them."

"Your older brother insists on joining the army. You're my only son now. If something happens to you, how will I live?"

She then began to sob.

"Mom, you don't know, today at the market, it wasn't me protecting Qianqian, it was Qianqian protecting me. Little sister Qianqian is so amazing."

Just then, someone knocked on the wooden door. The village chief's wife opened the door and saw that it was Qianqian. She looked a little embarrassed and quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Qian girl, what brings you here? I heard the Green Bamboo Gang came to cause trouble for your family. Were you hurt?"

"No, Auntie, don't worry, the Green Bamboo Gang members have already left."

The village chief's wife breathed a sigh of relief. As the village chief's wife, she also didn't want anything to happen to the villagers, and she would help if she could.

Besides, the third branch of the Su family is truly pitiful. Look how thin the child in front of you is! It's pathetic.

"Qian girl, I heard that the Green Bamboo Gang has come to collect a debt. I only have five taels of silver here, which I'm saving for Gou Dan's wedding. I can lend it to you to tide you over. Remember, nothing is more important than your life."

He then opened the brass lock on the willow wood cabinet, intending to take the money, but Su Qianqian stopped him.

"Auntie, no need, I can handle the Green Bamboo Gang's affairs myself."

She's not stupid; she wouldn't give money to a bunch of thugs.

The whole village is dirt poor now, and five taels of silver is probably all the village chief has. She remembered this favor because he was willing to lend her all of it.

Upon hearing that the Green Bamboo Gang members had left, Gou Dan quickly placed a bamboo stool in front of Su Qianqian. "Qianqian, sit down and rest for a while. I'll make you some sweet soup."

Su Qianqian had come to ask the village chief for help, and planned to keep it brief: "No need to sit down, I'm in a hurry, standing is just as good."

"Auntie Village Chief, Brother Gou Dan used to say he wanted to be a constable and rid the people of evil. I know Constable Lin in the county, and he promised to give Brother Gou Dan a spot."

Dog Egg jumped up excitedly, "Wow, I'm really going to be a constable!"

Dog Egg's lifelong dream was to become a constable. When he was a child, he often played catch-the-thief games with a wooden sword. Unfortunately, his dream never came true, and his village chief father spent a lot of money but still couldn't get it done.

So the village chief's wife couldn't believe that Qian Yatou had such ability to fulfill her youngest son's dream of becoming a constable.

"Qian, is everything you're saying true?"

Li Gou Dan: "Of course it's true. Sister Qianqian never lies, unlike Fang Yingxue, who never tells the truth."

Su Qianqian nodded, "Brother Gou Dan can go to the county government to report tomorrow. Just give my name. I've already spoken to Constable Lin. However, Brother Gou Dan must report there within three days."

The village chief's wife was overjoyed; this was an incredibly happy occasion, and she didn't know how to express her gratitude.

"Qian, I'm so sorry, I haven't had time to go to the market lately, and I don't have any snacks to offer you. I'll go and make you some brown sugar eggs right now."

Brown sugar and eggs are the highest level of hospitality in Lotus Village, and the village chief's wife decided that they had to make it, because Qian Yatou was a very important guest in her family.

"Auntie, no need to trouble yourself. Is Uncle Village Chief home? I need his help with something."

"Yes, yes, in the backyard. I'll call your uncle over right now."

The village chief's wife quickly ran to the backyard.

Seeing his wife stumbling and falling as she ran, the old village chief joked, "You're already in your forties, why are you still so reckless?"

"My dear husband, you have no idea, our son's job as a constable has been secured."

The old village chief didn't believe it. "Old woman, are you dreaming?"

He reached out and touched his wife's forehead. Her temperature was normal. Why was she talking nonsense?

The position of constable is highly sought after, and it's not easy to get one.

He had asked countless people and spent a fortune before, but he still couldn't get things done. This old woman must be daydreaming in broad daylight.

"It's true. It's all thanks to your son's intelligence. He follows Qianya around eagerly every day. Our son has such good taste. He knows that Qianya is a benefactor. I heard that Qianya provided some valuable clues to the county government and made a great contribution. As a result, she got a position as a constable."

The village chief took a deep drag on his old pipe, coughing for quite some time afterward.

"Cough cough cough—Qian girl actually has such abilities. No wonder when Qian girl was born, the wandering Taoist priest said that Qian girl was destined for great fortune. It seems that it is indeed true."

It's a great joy that his youngest son became a constable. When he has meetings with village chiefs from other villages, he'll definitely feel proud and be the envy of everyone.

The village chief's wife urged, "Old man, don't waste any more time. Qian'er seems to need your help. If you can help, you must help. Sigh, it's all the fault of the Su family for being so irresponsible. Otherwise, this constable spot wouldn't have gone to our Gou Dan. Both the eldest and second sons of the Su family have sons."

The old village chief moved with incredible speed, running towards the house.

The village chief's wife, seeing this, laughed and said, "You say I'm reckless, but aren't you the same?"

Upon seeing the old village chief, Su Qianqian immediately gave a brief description of the Su family's ongoing discussions about dividing the family property.

"Grandpa Village Chief, could you please go to the Su family and persuade my grandparents? I hope that this time our three branches of the family can successfully divide the property."

The old village chief nodded, understanding perfectly well that the third branch of the family was being bullied in the Su family. Look, they've even starved this lucky girl, Qian, into a stick-like figure.

If they don't separate the family soon, the old lady will drive all the honest people in the three households crazy.

It's good that they're separated; it will be easier to help them later. After all, Qian Yatou helped her youngest son realize his dream of becoming a constable, which is an immense favor.

As the village chief, he has seen more than most people have, so he can definitely help Qianya handle the Su family's division of property.

Every household in the village had to ask him, the village chief, for help when dividing their property; his words carried considerable weight.

"Don't worry, Qian girl, your uncle will definitely help you sort out the family division."

The old village chief, carrying his old pipe, followed Su Qianqian to the Su family home.

As they traveled, they pondered strategies, intending to secure more benefits for the third branch of the Su family.

Not long after the old village chief entered the main room of the Su family, Er Ya came to the woodshed to call Gu Shi, "Third Aunt, Grandpa and Grandma want you to come to the main room to discuss dividing the family property." She even smiled and winked at Qianqian to give a signal.

Er Ya was actually quite envious of the third branch of the family for being able to separate and move out.

Su Qianqian and Madam Gu exchanged a smile; it seemed the division of the family property was indeed about to be finalized.

The old lady's house was bustling with activity; more than a dozen people were crammed in, discussing the topic of dividing the family property, arguing until dark.

Grandpa Su looked at the tiny oil lamp, its light so dim that it cast indistinct shadows, making it impossible to see anything clearly.

"Old woman, tell the eldest son to light another oil lamp."

The old lady strongly objected, "That won't do. Two oil lamps are too expensive. Our family is so poor."

Grandpa Su frowned: This silly old woman, dressed in gold and silver, all rich and luxurious, yet she complains of being poor in front of the village chief, saying she's worried about the cost of oil lamps. Does she think the village chief is stupid? A fool can't be a village chief.

The old man could only personally instruct, "Eldest daughter-in-law, quickly light another lamp."

After adding an oil lamp, the room became brighter, illuminating Su Bing's stubborn face.

The old village chief felt somewhat comforted after seeing Su Bing's stubborn face.

Hopefully, Su Bing can truly stand up for himself in the future so he can protect Qian Yatou. Qian Yatou is such a lucky and good child.

It's not something an ordinary person can do to help Gou Dan get a constable position; even the village head can't do it.

Grandpa Su glanced at Su Bing's stubborn face several times, thinking that since the third son was now out of control, there was no need to keep him around any longer. It would be better to get rid of him sooner rather than later, so that he wouldn't have to see him anymore.

However, the third-family members shouldn't expect to get anything good.

The village chief was now leaning towards Qianqian's family, urging, "Brother, we've been discussing this for so long, it's time to settle things. How do you want to divide this family's property?"

Grandpa Su didn't want to give anything to the third branch of the family, but he didn't want to be the bad guy in public, so he gave Grandma Su a look and asked her to speak.

The old lady had worked with the old man for many years and naturally understood his intentions. She quickly said, "Just let the third branch move out directly. As for the land and house, they shouldn't expect to get anything. The third branch offended the Green Bamboo Gang and smashed everything in their house. It's good enough if they don't have to pay compensation."
