Ouyang Yuqing led the people to the threshing ground.
On the threshing ground, the villagers of Gejia Village were listening to the old village chief talk about finding lodging.
At first, when the old village chief said that the exiled criminals needed to stay overnight, the villagers were unwilling.
But the old village chief said that each exile would pay half a tael of silver for lodging.
When the villagers heard that each person was worth half a tael, they wished they could stuff ten or eight of them into their own homes.
The old village chief had just finished speaking when he saw Ouyang Yuqing leading the exiled group to their village's threshing ground.
Without saying anything more to the villagers, he quickly stepped down from a stone platform to greet Ouyang Yuqing.
The old village chief walked up to Ouyang Yuqing with a smile and began to ask, "King of the Northern Desert, have you brought everyone?"
When Ouyang Yuqing heard the old village chief's question, he nodded and said, "Yes, everyone is here."
I see that all the villagers are here, so why don't we let them choose their own families?
When the old village chief heard Ouyang Yuqing's words, he nodded and said, "That's perfect, it's much easier for us now that they can choose for themselves. I'll tell the villagers right away."
Upon hearing the old village chief's words, Ouyang Yuqing replied, "Alright, then I'll also inform the exiled group."
After they finished speaking, they went their separate ways.
Ouyang Yuqing turned to the exile group and said, "I just discussed with the village chief here, and you can choose each other with the villagers."
Once you've chosen a family, you can go home with the villagers.
However, I can warn you in advance that everyone who enters a villager's home must follow the rules.
If I find anyone breaking the rules, I'll make sure they never see the sun rise again, understand?
Most of the convicts were still grateful to Ouyang Yuqing.
They felt that although Ouyang Yuqing appeared cold on the outside, she had a soft heart.
But some people think differently, such as Su Degui's mother, who has been dead for many days.
At this moment, Su Degui's mother was muttering under her breath: "That damned Ouyang Yuqing, not only did you kill my son, you also refuse to pay compensation."
Why doesn't God take someone like you away?
The second wife was standing next to the old lady, so she naturally heard what the old lady said.
She rolled her eyes at the old lady and said, "Alright, what's the point of all that nonsense you're spouting?"
If you're so capable, why don't you go and ask for compensation...
Upon hearing her daughter-in-law's sarcastic remarks, the old lady angrily retorted, "You're becoming more and more ill-mannered. You're openly talking back to your mother-in-law."
The second wife heard that the old lady was about to start lecturing again.
She said bluntly, "Heh, what rules are you talking about when you can't even afford to eat?"
If you can ensure everyone has enough to eat, I will definitely stand before you and set clear rules for you...
When the old lady heard the second wife belittling her like that, she was so angry that she said, "You..."
The second wife felt no remorse whatsoever when she saw the old lady's face flushed with anger.
Instead of feeling guilty, she arrogantly said to the old lady, "Stop with the 'you, you, you'! Your whole family is surnamed Su, not mine. Don't try to pin everything on me."
Whether it's good or bad, you are the mistress of the Su family, so this matter should be your responsibility. Shouldn't you be the one to think of a solution?
The old lady was speechless after being told off by her daughter-in-law.
She thought to herself: I'm an old woman, and I don't even have a son to rely on. What kind of matriarch am I?
Besides, what use is it to be the matriarch of this exile group?
This family of bloodsuckers will rape you if you eat too slowly while eating your pancakes.
She doesn't want to be the matriarch of this bunch of bloodsuckers.
