Chapter 1218: Chapter 1040: Xiao’ai, Dabao, Xiaobei

Aunt Zhao couldn’t help but retort, "If he eats a lot, shouldn’t he work? He only gave me a jade pendant, am I supposed to support him for a lifetime? Besides, he stole money! How despicable is that?"

"Stole money? Aunt Zhao, did you see him steal money?" the village chief asked.

"This... I did not see it, but he admitted it, so that’s why I hit him."

The village chief couldn’t help but shake his head, "Even if he admitted it, could it be that he was forced to confess under duress? Let me ask, Xiaobei, did you steal Aunt Zhao’s money?"

Tian Xiaobei shook his head.

"Then where did his money come from? He was out with Xia Dabao from the Xia Family at the market, flaunting around for a whole day, eating and drinking, thinking I wouldn’t know," Aunt Zhao said indignantly.

Xia Dabao was about to speak up for Tian Xiaobei, but the village chief interrupted, "I know where his money came from, it was actually given by me."

The villagers were all stunned.

Given by the village chief?

Tian Xiaobei also looked at the village chief, wasn’t it agreed to keep it a secret? With him saying this, Tian Xiaobei feared he could no longer return to the Zhao Family.

The village chief looked at everyone, "Aren’t you all curious how my illness was cured? I might as well tell you all, Xiaobei here cured my disease. I originally wanted to give him some money as gratitude, but instead, it led to him being misunderstood as a thief. Xiaobei is definitely not that kind of child. Moreover, from today onwards, Xiaobei doesn’t need to live at the Zhao Family anymore, he will live at my house from now on."

"..." Tian Xiaobei was stunned, as were all the other villagers.

"Xiaobei cured the illness?"

"He can actually heal? That’s unbelievable, especially for a child so quiet and reticent, and to cure an ailment as difficult as the village chief’s, it’s truly incredible."

"If that’s the case, Xiaobei really can’t live at the Zhao Family anymore, you know... cough, you know what I mean!"

"..."

The village chief couldn’t be bothered with the villagers’ gossip anymore and just took Tian Xiaobei’s hand, "Xiaobei, do you have any belongings to pack? If so, I’ll go back with you to pack up, and after that, you’ll come live at my house. Now that Dongdong has gone back to the city, his room is empty anyway, you can stay there."

"This..." Tian Xiaobei was somewhat at a loss.

"Don’t hesitate anymore, come live at my place. I won’t make you work all day long and will let you do what you like," the village chief said.

Tian Xiaobei glanced at Xia Dabao, who nodded in return.

...

Eventually, Tian Xiaobei packed his things and moved into the village chief’s house.

With such circumstances, it was impossible for him not to leave; the Zhao Family, apart from Aunt Zhao Er, probably had no one left who could tolerate him.

After Tian Xiaobei left, Aunt Zhao was practically fuming to death.

"That ungrateful wretch, feeding off our household, living under our roof, and yet he betrays us by helping outsiders. If it weren’t for him, our Zhao Family would be the village chief by now!" Aunt Zhao complained bitterly at the dinner table to her in-laws.

Uncle Zhao appeared unconcerned, "Let it go, it doesn’t matter who becomes village chief. Now that someone else is in charge, I can finally relax a bit."

"You wish, we gave the Lizheng gifts worth over ten taels of silver, now we’ve lost so much, how can we get that back."

Meanwhile, Zhao Datu tried to console his mother, "It’s too early to talk about this now. What if the village chief falls ill again? Better to send gifts early than late."
