The village chief was wearing a coat, seemingly having just gotten out of bed without time to tidy up, when Jiang Xia and her group came knocking at the door.
It wasn't fully light outside yet, and the group of people were standing in the dark, making it hard to see clearly. The village chief didn't take a close look at the crowd behind Jiang Xia, only lowering his head to recognize Jiang Xia, the clever second daughter of the Jiang family. His tone was like that of someone coaxing a child, "Jiang Xia, why were you knocking on the door so early? Did something happen at home?"
