Chen asked Jiang Qinyu, "Eldest daughter-in-law, what do you think the village chief should do?"

"They'll probably do as I say," Jiang Qinyu said, not entirely sure.

Village Chief Li was no longer in a hurry. He waited until the murmurs below gradually subsided before speaking again, "Although this portion of grain won't be distributed to everyone right now, we will still reward those who performed exceptionally well last night!"

Upon hearing this, those who had just been opposing it changed their tune.

"Oh, there's a reward too? Does that mean my Big Hammer should be included?"

"Hehe... My Li Tiezhu definitely counts too!"

"And my family too, since our family had the most people, we should count them, right?"

"..."

After they finished talking all at once, Village Chief Li continued, "First, based on the number of people from each family who went up the mountain last night, each person who went will be rewarded with ten catties of grain, two people who went will be rewarded with twenty catties, and so on. The more people who go, the more grain will be rewarded!"

In addition, those who performed bravely last night will receive an extra ten catties of grain if they are injured, and five catties if they are not injured…”

Village Chief Li clearly explained how to reward them, and there wasn't a single dissenting voice heard from below.

Those who only went to make up the numbers last night are now kicking themselves, while those who went to Li Dachui's house with seven or eight people are grinning from ear to ear, they're having a blast.

"The village chief is brilliant! We all agree with this way of dividing the land!" someone shouted, and the others echoed.

But Village Chief Li looked towards Jiang Qinyu, a smile on his face and gratitude in his eyes.
