Commentary for Kiddushin 41:11
איתיביה (ויקרא כה, כד) בכל גאולה תתנו לרבות בתים ועבד עברי מאי לאו בתי ערי חומה לא בתי חצרים
Surely that means houses in a walled city? - No. It means houses in villages. But of houses in villages it is explicitly stated, they shall be reckoned with the fields of the country?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Ibid. 31; i.e., the same law applies to them as to 'a field of possession.');"><sup>16</sup></span>
Daf Shevui to Kiddushin
The Torah seems to explicitly say that houses in open villages are not classed as houses in walled cities, and thus can be redeemed by relatives. So why would need a midrash to teach this.
