Chi Sanhe truthfully replied, "We can't guarantee that!"

We are relying on Xiaoyu's future husband's connections, which allow him to have some influence with the government.

After Xiaoyu gets married in a few days, I'll find an opportunity to ask her husband if he can resolve this issue between you two.

But as you all know, it won't be easy for you to resolve your household registration issues and settle down here.

If we help resolve this, we'll definitely need to provide a guarantee. Please don't do anything unforgivable that could implicate us.

"Of course! I'll have those who decide to settle here find a way to pay some money."

After all, even if Chi Yu's husband is helping, he still has to do favors and sometimes has to smooth things over.

Therefore, it is only right that we contribute some money!

"You can't expect him to pay for everyone's meal out of his own pocket, can you?"

This is what makes Chi Dongyi satisfied with Song Chongjin; he thinks Song Chongjin is perceptive and knows how to handle things.

Hearing this, he felt extremely relieved and therefore made a promise:

“If you are all law-abiding people, and one day you really can’t make ends meet, we will help you out of our in-law relationship.”

Song Chongjin stood up, bowed to them, and said, "On behalf of everyone, I thank you all."

If we can settle down here, then we will call our village Xiechi'ao.

"Thank you so much, Chijia'ao! Without your help, our village wouldn't exist!"

Thinking of the hardships Song Chongjin and his group had endured, and recalling Wang Yunjuan's words about building a large house here, Chi Dong felt a surge of emotion.

In addition, everyone in Chijia'ao is very busy these days, and the other party is in a hurry, hoping to complete the task in about twenty days.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Right now, we are building workshops in Chijia'ao, and every household is busy."

The Zhong family, a wealthy family in the county town, is building a house here, and they are in a hurry.

If you have any surplus labor on your side, you can wait until tomorrow. After you finish your discussions, confirm our marriage, and officially settle down here, let me know.

This time, we only need fifteen people. Find fifteen people for us, and the Zhong family will pay them one and a half jin of coarse rice per day.

In the past, brown rice cost less than five coins per pound. If you offered that price, no one would be willing to do it.

But times have changed!

Putting aside how expensive brown rice is, even if you have money, you might not be able to buy grain in the county town if you don't have connections.

Therefore, this wage is quite good, whether for the people of Chijia'ao or for the people of Wuning Prefecture who have nothing.

Sure enough, not to mention others, even Song Chongjin himself was somewhat tempted after hearing it.

One and a half pounds of coarse noodles, with some wild vegetables added, would last his family of four for two or three days.

If I could work for them for ten or twenty days, I wouldn't have to worry about making a living for the next month or two.

Thinking this, Song Chongjin bowed to the group again.

"I know there are many strong laborers in Chijia'ao, so it's definitely no problem for them to do these things themselves."

The reason they were able to offer fifteen spots was out of a willingness to help us. I appreciate their kindness and thank you all.

"Rest assured, I, Song, swear on my life that as long as I live, I will never allow any of us from Wuning Prefecture to commit any crimes!"

"Okay, we believe you! With your words, we'll do our best to help. It's getting late, you go ahead with your work, we should head back too!"

Song Chongjin, who had originally planned to talk to Chi Dongyi and the others before going to tell everyone about this, thought about it and ultimately decided against it.

He escorted the people across the river, and after watching them walk away, he walked downstream along the river.
