Chapter 158 The Exiled Team Feeling Disheartened

However, if we leave and build a house in a larger place, this blueprint is obviously suitable.

Therefore, the brother and sister quickly finalized the drawings.

Not only that, the two of them were inspired and enthusiastically drew a lot of furniture drawings.

Zhou Jinran looked closely and found that most of these were placed in their previous home.

She hadn't checked the original owner's memory for a long time and after careful consideration, she realized that what they drew were all designed by their father himself.

Zhou Jinran didn't expect that although she didn't remember it just now, she and her brother subconsciously restored all of these by coincidence.

Now she didn't know whether it was the original owner's memory that affected her, or whether she had completely merged with this body.

Before she could think clearly, excited voices were heard outside.

"We're here, we're here, Hujiao Village is just ahead."

The voices belonged to the yamen runners. They must have had enough of the journey and now that their mission was almost completed, they had no time to get excited.

Zhou Jinran and the others did not stay in the carriage any longer and came out directly.

Seeing this, the drivers Zhou Peng and Zhou Kun pulled the reins and the carriage slowly stopped.

Seeing this, the convoy behind also stopped, and every household sent someone forward to negotiate with Xiao Jiang and his team.

As for Wang Yaoming, their carriages and caravan did not join the exile team. After all, they were not exiled people.

So they arrived at Hujiao Village early and have probably entered the village by now.

Zhou Jinran wanted to see the results of her previous studies in the virtual space, so she followed her brother forward.

The village chief of Hujiao Village obviously can speak Mandarin and is now talking to Xiao Jiang.

Zhou Jinran, whose attention was not on this, listened to the voices of the villagers around him.

Not only her, but even the people who came before noticed it, so now their faces turned black.

Again, no one told them that the people here have their own language.

Otherwise, they would definitely go to great lengths to find someone who can say this to teach them.

I have to say that people who have served as officials think a lot.

But it’s no use thinking more now. After all, they are already at the entrance of the village. What else can they do?

And Zhou Jinran, because of the cheat, heard everything those people said without missing a word.

For example, at this moment, a man wearing a dark blue cotton jacket kept glancing at the convoy and kept talking to the people next to him,

"My goodness, these exiles are really capable. People who came here in the past always got less and less stuff, why are they different?"

The person next to him nodded repeatedly and twirled his fingers rapidly.

"Oh, they are dressed warmly and look energetic. There are so many bags piled on the cart. Doesn't that mean they don't need to buy anything from us?"

Compared to the touching words of the person just now, what this person said now is obviously more agitating.

Didn’t you see that several people who were well-dressed and had plump figures looked unhappy when they heard this?

But compared to their bad expressions, the expression of the village chief who was talking to Xiao Jiang could be described as ugly.

The village chief did not expect that there was not even a single criminal in the exile team this time.

Although there are not many criminals coming here, they can still be suppressed.

But now these people no longer have the status of criminals. If they rely on their previous status to do whatever they want in Hujiao Village.

Wouldn't their comfortable life be disrupted?

Even though they are a bit greedy, they get their money in a proper way.

After all, who doesn't love money? He doesn't have the same idea as his fellow villagers that he won't get any bargain this time.

Now he only hopes that these people can behave themselves and have a good new year in peace.

No one knew what the village chief was thinking. Everyone only saw his expression and began to feel nervous.

After all, if the village chief and the villagers don’t get along well, life will not be peaceful in the future.

Zhou Jinran felt that there was something wrong with the village chief's attitude.

Logically speaking, exiles like them who are not sinners should be very welcome.

After all, different identities mean different things they can do, and after all the training along the way, it can be said that most of them are excellent laborers.

Not to mention that they are the ones who remain after layers of screening, and those who should be eliminated have already been left on the road.

But looking at the village chief's face now, is it really as the villagers said, that he can no longer make extra money from them?

Soon, Zhou Jinran denied this idea.

After all, they had already changed their place of exile since the day the emperor asked Wu Hao to convey the message.

It is said that this place not only has beautiful scenery and abundant land, but also has simple villagers. Of course, there are also difficult people. After all, there are always a few top-notch people in every place, so it's not surprising.

But looking at the current situation, it feels like it doesn’t match what I heard.

Zhou Jinran took this matter to heart and decided to check it through the sign-in system when he had free time.

Now, they are about to start entering the village.

Yes, even though the village chief looked unhappy, he still let them into the village.

What else could he do? This was equivalent to the government's order. How could they disobey it?

The exile team entering the village looked at the people who were looking at them, their bodies became a little stiff. They really hadn't interacted with other people for a long time, and now being stared at by so many people, they felt a little awkward.

Soon, Zhou Jinran and his friends were taken to an area where there were few houses. Even if there were houses, they looked shaky and obviously uninhabitable.

"This is where you will live in the future. You need to build the house yourself. We will give you the tools to use, and you don't need to pay for them. But you need to find the materials for building the house yourself."

As soon as the village chief finished speaking, the expressions of many people in the team changed.

It's almost dark now, and the wind is strong in winter.

Although they often slept outdoors along the way, they have now reached their destination.

I had originally thought that I would be able to eat hot meals and sleep on a warm kang in the future, but who would have thought that now that I'm here, there isn't even a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

The people who were originally so excited felt as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water on their heads, and they felt very cold.

Seeing that they just changed their expressions and didn't say anything, the village chief suddenly felt that he had discovered something and became calm.

"Also, although you don't have to pay to buy the foundation for building a house, there are regulations. The amount of land one person can get is fixed. If you want to build a larger foundation, you will have to pay for the excess."

The village chief, who was thought to be the one who would immediately start making outrageous remarks and threatening remarks after hearing this, was actually stunned this time.

How is this different from what I expected? Weren’t they officials and their wives before?

Since he said so, shouldn't they just make some harsh words first, then find out it's useless and then accept the reality dejectedly?
