Chapter 101 102. Fu County

"How is this good?" Liu Liu pressed her red eyes. "They say people are worthless when they leave their hometown. It's absolutely true. We are all refugees. Why do they treat us so badly?"

Jin Qianqian, "In fact, let's change our thinking. This way, we don't have to integrate into other villages, and we don't have to worry about others' exclusion. Although that place is a bit unlucky, it is still a complete village.

With two years of tax exemption, we can finally make ends meet.”

"Aren't you afraid?" Liu Liu was weighing the options in his mind, but he still remained stubborn.

"As long as I don't do anything wrong, I won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on my door. What do I have to be afraid of?"

"Don't say that word," Liu Liu suddenly screamed, scaring Jin Qianqian so much that she quickly covered her ears.

Then he laughed again, "Fourth sister-in-law, I always thought you were fearless, but it turns out you are afraid of that thing. It's broad daylight, it's safe."

Seeing Jin Qianqian's smirk, Hong Daya couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth. It turned out that such a strong person could also be afraid.

Amid so many people's opposition, Gu Sanbu actually went over and wanted to be transferred to another place, but he was coldly stopped by the officers, who said that they could go if they wanted to, but would be sent back if they didn't want to.

Gu Wenheng saw that everyone was not motivated and didn't know what to do, so he could only find Gu Sanbu again.

“Alas, I also know that if it weren’t for this incident, such a good village would not have fallen into our hands.

But these people are holding a grudge and always want to take the opportunity to cause trouble.

Look, the choices are here anyway. If you really don't want to, I don't want to force you. At least if someone goes back, they can still look after our village and offer incense to their ancestors."

Gu Wenheng: "..." The psychology of these ancient people is really hard to predict. It turns out that the patriarch has such an idea. This is not something I can interfere with.

Soon, some people changed their minds and prepared to follow the pacification envoy back home.

However, the brothers of the Gu family still stayed together.

The quota was just passed up here, and soon some scattered families were arranged to join in.

After each household received ten taels of silver for settling down, they were led by the officers at the city gate to Fu County.

Fortunately, all the people in Baini'ao were assigned to this county town. Even if they were not in the same village, they were not far apart.

"Rest in this county town today. If you need to purchase anything, do it today. It will take another day to go there. It will not be so convenient to go back and forth in the future."

After walking for two days, the leading Constable Li stopped at the gate of the county town and pointed to the street ahead and said.

"You can move freely within this area today, but you must wait at the city gate early at dawn tomorrow. No one will be allowed after the time is up.

And the temporary village heads of your villages, follow me to the county government to finalize your household registration..."

Jin Qianqian rubbed her palms together. "It feels like the temperature has dropped a lot in the past two days. Can we settle the house before winter comes?"

Gu Wenheng, "I guess there will be a lot of people who want to build houses now, and no one has the spare time to help others, so we can only find a way ourselves."

"But neither of us knows how to build a house, and it's not safe to live in a house that has been empty for decades." Jin Qianqian's eyes suddenly lit up, "Aren't we in the county town? We can find some people to go over there and transport the materials as well."

Now that they have arrived at a stable place, Jin Qianqian doesn't want to put herself in a difficult position anymore.

Gu Wenheng also had the same idea. Given the conditions, who would be willing to suffer this?

The two hit it off immediately, carrying their few bags, and followed the crowd into the county town.

"This place is much more lively than the county town we passed by. There are a lot more shops here." Jin Qianqian looked around curiously. Although this place is not as good as the provincial capital, it seems that all the shops that should be there are there.

Gu Wenheng pointed at the words "Inn" in front of him and said, "Let's go check in first, otherwise we won't be able to set up a tent tonight and we'll have to endure the cold."

"By the way, you can ask around to see if there are any good construction teams here."

"Stay in a hotel?"

Gu Wenheng, "Boss, give us two rooms."

"Is it a superior room or an inferior room?"

"Superior room."

"How many days?"

"One night."

"Chenghui, the total is three hundred copper coins."

Gu Wenheng handed over the silver coins and said, "Boss, can I ask you if there is a team building houses nearby?"

The shopkeeper, who had been concentrating on writing, looked up at them and asked, "You want to build a house?"

Gu Wenheng did not hide it. "That's right. Our village has just settled in Gaoling Village. We are new here and are unfamiliar with the place. We want to find someone to help rebuild a house. As long as the price is fair and the quality is up to standard, everything will be fine."

"So you are the refugees who migrated here. You don't look like it!" Bai Heping put down the pen in his hand. He knew the news. "But the houses there do need to be rebuilt. After so many years, most of them have rotted away.

I do have an acquaintance who specializes in this business, but I don't know if he has any work at the moment. I'll ask the waiter to call him later, and you can discuss the details with him yourself."

"Thank you, boss. We still need to purchase some things. Can we arrange it for a later time?"

Bai Heping, "It doesn't matter. Anyway, that guy doesn't live far from here. He has work to do, so we can just let him wait."

Having said that, Gu Wenheng still politely made an appointment with him, and then followed the waiter to put the things back to the room.

Jin Qianqian turned around and wanted to enter the next room, but was pulled in by Gu Wenheng. "That room is for parents to live in. Let's put our things down quickly. We still have a lot of things to do."

Jin Qianqian suddenly remembered a sentence: time is tight, the task is heavy, and we must race against time.

"Don't just stand there like an idiot. You need to prepare food, oil, salt, and firewood in advance. You also need some daily necessities."

Jin Qianqian quickly took out a notebook and said, "Let me take note of what you said. We can buy more when the time comes. We don't know what the place is like. It will be inconvenient if we are short of something."

Gu Wenheng mentioned some common things in daily life and added some farm tools. "I guess we have to be farmers for a while, so these things are really indispensable."

Jin Qianqian, "Then we need to add some seeds, but I did collect some before, but unfortunately we can't protect some things now, so we can't take them out."

Gu Wenheng also knew this truth, "It's okay, when the time comes, we'll just follow what others plant."

At this point, Jin Qianqian couldn't help but cover her forehead, "I guess the sisters-in-law must be jealous again. Why couldn't they live separately at that time? I have the illusion that I am a shrew when I follow them bickering all day long.

But I feel unwilling to accept the loss, life is really too difficult. "
