Chapter 119: Changing the Village Chief of Liujia Village
Everyone shook their heads again, saying that the Lord had committed a great sin, so what was there to be proud of?
Su Nuan smiled and said, "The main culprit cannot die, so no matter who I kill, the official will not let the main culprit and his family die."
"After all, the Emperor said that we should be exiled and suffer to atone for our sins, so we can't die!"
The villagers were sweating on their foreheads. Who would dare to mess with this female killer?
Moreover, it was clearly stated that she would not be sentenced to death even if she killed someone, which was equivalent to having a golden ticket to immunity from death.
Everyone looked at each other, and their flickering eyes became dull, probably because their brains couldn't think straight.
Su Nuan said, "Is there anyone you like who has fair character? This family has bad character if they come out to be the village chief."
The villagers were very hesitant, probably not knowing who to choose.
The aunt who had just spoken said, "It's only because their family has a higher generation. We are all younger and don't deserve it."
Su Nuan sneered: "Your virtue is not worthy of the position. Find someone who can. Now your village is a combination of multiple surnames. Whoever has the ability can be the village chief."
"Also, you named the village Liujia Village. Will people with other surnames agree with you?"
"You don't want to expand the village? Or do you want to end your family lineage?"
The aunt didn't understand what the village had to do with future generations, so she asked, "How does this have to do with future generations?"
Su Nuan smiled and said, "Look, there are only two villages here. I'm sure the people from your village don't want to intermarry with ours, right?"
"If you marry within the village in the future, you'll gradually find that you can't find anyone from outside your family. Doesn't that mean your offspring is cut off?"
People with the same surname cannot marry each other. This is a tradition passed down from our ancestors, so they understand this principle.
The aunt slapped her thigh and said, "Oh, you are absolutely right. We can't call it Liujia Village."
Then she looked at Su Nuan again, "What's the name of your village?"
Su Nuan replied, "Our village is called Sifang Village because it is well connected."
The aunt praised: "What a good name! I thought it was called the Exile Village."
Su Nuan shook her head. "How could that be? We haven't been prisoners here forever. We can redeem ourselves after a year and become good citizens after redemption."
“When the population grows, we will develop it into a town and eventually a city.”
The aunt didn't buy into Su Nuan's promise. She felt it was too far away and had nothing to do with her.
"Let's not talk about the village for now. We've only just gotten together and don't know each other very well, so we can't elect a village chief."
Just as Su Nuan was about to speak, Sun Yu came over with his men and shouted, "Get out of the way! What are you all doing here?"
Sun Yu was startled when he saw Su Nuan, "Why are you here?"
Su Nuan smiled awkwardly and explained the whole story.
Sun Yu smiled contemptuously, "You have quite a big appetite. I didn't want to get involved in these trivial matters, but now that I've encountered them, I'll deal with them."
"I remember there's a man named Zhao Dayou in your village. Go and call him over."
Someone responded and ran out of the crowd.
Soon, a burly middle-aged man came over and politely saluted Sun Yu with his fists clasped.
"grown ups."
Su Nuan saw that this man had a dignified appearance and clear eyes, and she felt good about him.
Sun Yu said, "You will take over this place in the future. You can choose the name of the village."
Zhao Dayou was very surprised, "I'm the village chief?"
Sun Yu nodded. "Why? Do you want me to say it again?"
Zhao Dayou kept saying, "I dare not... I dare not..."
He was silent for a moment and then said, "Let's call it Xiangyang Village. I hope all of us can bask in the sunshine."
Sun Yu nodded, "Okay, come with me to register."
Su Nuan said, "Village Chief Zhao, please come back quickly. We have something to discuss."
Zhao Dayou nodded to Su Nuan, "Please wait a moment."
Su Nuan packed up the backpack and said, "You all go home and discuss it. If you are willing to make mud bricks for me, please send someone to register. I will go back and get some more meat."
After saying that, she walked out of the village.
The auntie shouted, "You're not lying, are you?"
Su Nuan waved her hand, "If you lie, your whole family will die."
The aunt shrank her neck. How cruel! How dare he say such a thing? But since he dared to say it, he was not lying.
She immediately ran home to discuss the matter with her family.
Su Nuan went back to say hello to Mrs. Xue and then used a donkey cart to pull the fish and meat to Xiangyang Village.
The villagers gathered at the entrance of the village, waiting and looking forward to it.
They all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Su Nuan, and when they saw the basket on the donkey cart, their eyes became even more eager.
The rabbits and chickens originally kept on the cart were moved to the snow cave next to Ma Peng, which was warmer than the donkey cart.
The donkey cart had been cleaned, so the shed had been removed, leaving only the deck, otherwise they would not have been able to see the baskets on the cart.
The aunt squeezed from the back to the front and shouted enthusiastically: "We are all ready."
Su Nuan nodded. "When the village chief comes back, I don't even remember who you are, nor do I know where your homes are. What if you try to trick me?"
The aunt was afraid that Su Nuan would regret it, so she pointed to the village and said, "My house is the third one over there. I promise I won't fool you."
Su Nuan smiled and said, "Okay."
Then it was time for chatting, and Su Nuan inquired about the structure of the village.
Just as they were chatting enthusiastically, Zhao Dayou came back. He looked at Su Nuan and said, "What's the matter, big sister?"
The auntie spoke quickly and told the story in a flash."
Zhao Dayou cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your care, sister. I'll take notes. If anyone dares to cheat or act dishonestly, I'll help you deal with it."
Su Nuan smiled and said, "That's great, but I suggest you write down the number of every household in the village. For example, the first house you see when you enter the village is Xiangyang Village No. 1."
"You can write down the names first, and then fill in the numbers when you have time, so you can know who lives where at a glance."
Zhao Dayou's eyes lit up, "Thank you, sister. This is a great contribution. You can go and tell the official about it."
Su Nuan waved her hand, "You can do whatever I ask you to do. I'm an exiled prisoner, so it's useless to ask for credit."
Zhao Dayou smiled gratefully and said, "Thank you, sister."
Su Nuan nodded secretly. This was a smart man who knew he was doing a favor. He was not pretentious and was willing to accept the favor.
In fact, he had made contributions, and his position as village chief was confirmed, and no one dared to resist him in the future.
Su Nuan said, "I just said that I would exchange five hundred bricks for a fish and three pounds of meat. If someone cooks a lot this winter, I will charge two hundred yuan per pound of meat."
Zhao Da nodded, "Okay."
He looked at the villagers and shouted, "Everyone line up and register one by one. Tell us how many bricks you can make."
"Don't try to show off. You won't get any extra meat if you count randomly. If you can't complete the count, you won't be able to do any work in the future."
Although Zhao Dayou had just become the village chief, the villagers were surprisingly well-behaved and no one opposed him.
Next, the village chief took notes and Su Nuan distributed fish and meat.
Later, the former village chief, Old Man Liu, pointed at Su Nuan's nose with anger in his eyes and cursed: "Little bitch, just wait, I will kill you sooner or later."
