<h4>Chapter 50: Chapter 50: Giving Gifts to the Vige Chief</h4>


    Ever since Xiaoxiao took charge at home, the supply of meat never ran out. Xiaoxiao, a meat eater, would never let her family run out of meat.


    So there was no need to buy anything special for gifts! Just grab two pounds of meat and go!


    Upon arriving at the Vige Chief’s house, she saw an old womaning out, presumably the Vige Chief’s wife whom her mother-inw had mentioned!


    "Hello, Vige Chief’s wife, I am Yang Ming’s wife. I’vee to speak with the Vige Chief about something. Is he at home?" Xiaoxiao greeted her politely and handed the meat to the old woman.


    The old woman, called "Vige Chief’s wife" and seeing the meat, smiled broadly and quickly took the meat, though she said:


    "What Vige Chief’s wife? Just call me auntie. Look at you, bringing things when youee in, quickly!"


    "Oh, hello Auntie!"


    Xiaoxiao followed the Vige Chief’s wife into the house.


    "Old man, hurry, Yang Ming’s wife is looking for you!" After saying this, she went to the kitchen to put away the meat, leaving Xiaoxiao and the Vige Chief to talk.


    "Hello, Vige Chief."


    "Hmm, Yang Ming’s wife, what do you need?"


    It was alreadymon knowledge that Yang Ming’s wife wanted to buy cabbages, so she must havee for this reason!


    "Uncle Vige Chief, I want to buy cabbages from the vigers, and I thought I should let you know first."


    Xiaoxiao could tell from the Vige Chief’s demeanor that he was a shrewd man; how else could he have be the Vige Chief? He probably was just waiting for her!


    "Hmm, I’ve heard about this. Actually, you didn’t need to inform me; just go ahead and buy them."


    "Actually, I am buying these cabbages for Yui Restaurant in the county town. I’m worried some people might try to cause trouble. We can’t afford to offend people from the county town, and you are the highest official here. I hope you can support me when the timees!"


    "Don’t worry, if anyone causes trouble in the vige, I will take care of it."


    "Thank you, Uncle Vige Chief. Actually, this is a good thing. If I handle this well, next year our vige can nt more and help the vigers get richer!"


    The Vige Chief’s eyes lit up when he heard Xiaoxiao’s words. Their vige wasn’t wealthy, and every time he went to the vige head, other chiefs outshone him. If he could improve their vige’s conditions, it would reflect well on him and secure his position.


    "If you can really make our vige rich, that would be great. Go ahead with the cabbage buying, and if anyone causes trouble, I, the Vige Chief, will back you up!"


    The Vige Chief’s attitude improved, and Xiaoxiao felt reassured. With the Vige Chief’s backing, she could now buy his cabbages openly and legitimately.


    "Old man, that Yang Ming’s wife didn’te empty-handed, huh? A full two pounds of meat!" The moment Xiaoxiao left, the Vige Chief’s wife started chattering.


    "Old Yang Family might indeed have married a remarkable wife!" The old Vige Chief stroked his beard, saying meaningfully.


    "What’s so remarkable about her? She’s just a spendthrift and a fool. She pays two and a half cents per pound for cabbages that others sell for two cents. If that’s not foolish, what is? Just listen to what others say about her!"


    "That’s just woman’spassion!"


    "I’m not wrong though!"


    "Just you watch; Old Yang Family might just rely on her, and our vige might too!"


    "How could our vige rely on her?"


    "In any case, get along well with Yang Ming’s wife in the future, help her out more, hear me? And tell the family too!"


    The old Vige Chief instructed. If Yang Ming’s wife really could lead everyone to prosperity, he couldn’t let his own family members spoil it.


    "Got it!"
