After lunch, the family went there again.

She stayed in the shop for a while before returning home.

His eldest brother’s shop had opened up, but he wasn’t in a hurry to start his business. He just needed to take his time.

When the carriage arrived at the village entrance, it happened to bump into the village chief getting off the ox cart.

“Village chief, you just came back from town too?” Xue Dafu greeted.

“Yes, I went to town to buy some things.” Village Chief Lu smiled. “Dafu!” Village Chief Lu suddenly called out.

“What’s wrong?” Xue Dafu, whose carriage was about to pass, quickly turned around and asked.

Village Chief Lu also smiled. “It’s fine. You guys should go back quickly. I have to go back too. It’s getting dark.”

“Of course, hahaha!” Xue Dafu continued to drive the carriage back.

Xue Yifu and the others followed behind in their carriages. They also greeted Village Chief Lu one after another and went back.

Xue Shi and Xue Bai were in the same carriage as Jiang Yue and Xue Yan. Xue Bai was still very obedient. Only Xue Shi was very noisy, causing Jiang Yue and Xue Yan to have a headache. However, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan still noticed Village Chief Lu’s strange behavior. They did not know what Village Chief Lu wanted to say just now, but he chose not to say it. They did not ask anything, but they still greeted Village Chief Lu.

Village Chief Lu only turned around and went home after the carriage had passed.

However, after taking a few steps, he still stopped and looked back. He subconsciously muttered to himself, “Probably not. How was that possible? It’s impossible. That shouldn’t be possible.”

It just so happened that his son, Lu Zhuangniu, was carrying a bucket of water to the well in the village. Seeing him like this, he asked in puzzlement, “Dad, what should be impossible? What are you talking about?”

Seeing that the sky was really getting dark, Village Chief Lu said, “Hurry up and get more water. I’ll tell you later. Anyway, I don’t think it’s possible. It’s definitely impossible. So it’s probably nothing.”

Lu Zhuangniu was even more curious. He quickly went to the well to fetch water. When he came back, he poured the water into the jar and began to ask his father what was wrong and what was impossible.

Village Chief Lu’s wife and daughter-in-law were also curious. They began to cook dinner while eavesdropping.

His grandchildren were still playing in the yard.

Village Chief Lu then said, “I went to town to buy some things today. Your mother asked me to buy some seeds. So I went to buy them. The seed shop has been bought by the imperial court. I heard that all the seed shops in Da Ling have been bought by the imperial court at a high price. In the future, the imperial court will choose seeds for us commoners. I was worried that the imperial court would be the only one selling seeds, and the price of the seeds would increase. Who knew that the price would be even lower than before? They are all especially good seeds too.”

Lu Zhuangniu immediately smiled and said, “Isn’t that a good thing? Previously, everyone thought that the seeds sold in that shop were a little expensive. Now, it’s great to have it cheaper. No matter how poor a family is, they can go to that shop to buy seeds and plant them.”

“It’s a good thing, but before I entered the seed shop, I heard something else.” Village Chief Lu said. “I don’t believe it anyway. How is that possible?” At the end of his sentence, he started to talk to himself again.

Lu Zhuangniu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Father, can’t you just tell me what’s going on? You’ve been talking for a long time, but I still don’t know what’s going on.”

Village Chief Lu’s wife, who was busy in front of the stove, echoed. “That’s right.Tell me what’s wrong. It makes me feel uncomfortable just listening to it.”

Village Chief Lu was not angry. He only muttered to himself a few more times before saying, “I heard someone say that our new Emperor who ascended the throne at the beginning of this year was once wandering outside. He was adopted by a family with the surname Xue. That family with the surname Xue is in Xinyuan County. I thought of the surname Xue… Also, at the beginning of this year… Didn’t Xue Yan go out at the beginning of this year? He only came back half a month later. I thought it might be him, but how is that possible?”
