Started as an exile and became a mother, kicked the scumbag and spoiled the whole family

Xiao Yunfei watched Magistrate Zheng leave, then turned around and asked the armored man.

"Sir, let's get in the car and go now, shall we?"

In a place like Ningguta, the armored men are the soldiers who directly supervise and manage these prisoners. It is best not to offend them, otherwise it will be very troublesome.

But don't act too humble, as making people feel that you are easy to bully is also a problem.

So just do your job impartially.

The armored man looked up at Xiao Yunfei. He had never seen a prisoner coming here by car.

He had just seen the county magistrate riding in a van and was very envious, so now he also had the chance to ride in one.

He didn't shirk and asked directly.

"Where do I sit?"

"Adults sit in the front. There are more of us. Let the children squeeze in at the back."

Soon, Xiao Yunfei drove away from the county government office with his family and the armored man.

The armored man sat in the passenger seat, and everything in the car seemed new to him.

This was the first time he had taken a car to assign accommodation to prisoners, and it felt really good.

Xiao Yunfei was responsible for driving, and the armored man was responsible for giving directions.

The farther away from the county government office, the more desolate the scenery becomes, with weeds and big trees everywhere.

We drove for a long time before we saw people. There was a group of people using very primitive tools to cultivate the land.

All of them were hunched over and skinny.

Said the armored man.

"Starting tomorrow, you will have to cultivate the land every day like them. Women and children don't have to. Someone will watch you work. Don't even think about being lazy. Everyone has a fixed amount of work to do. If you don't finish it, you won't get any food for the next quarter. If you work harder, you'll get more food."

Su Miaomiao grasped the key point instantly and asked quickly.

“What does it mean that the workload is fixed?”

"We have different jobs for you to do in spring, summer, autumn and winter. This summer, the rule is that an adult male must reclaim three acres of land. You came late, so this summer you only need to reclaim two acres of land."

Su Miaomiao's eyes lit up.

A fixed amount of work is much better than a fixed amount of time required to work every day.

This way they can use modern agricultural machinery to complete the work faster and don't have to spend every day in the fields.

she asked again.

"Sir, if we finish all the work ahead of time, we won't have to work in the fields anymore?"

"Yes, as long as you complete the tasks assigned to you, before autumn comes and new tasks are assigned, you don't have to go to the fields to work, and no one will bother you. But most people will continue to work even if they have finished their work, after all, everyone wants to get more food."

The armored man paused for a moment, but couldn't help but remind him.

"But few people can finish the work ahead of time. Your children are still so young. Even if your whole family works together, you may not be able to finish the work even if you get up early and work late."

Su Miaomiao couldn't help but frown and asked.

"Then according to what you said, if we don't finish the work, we won't get any food for the autumn. How are we going to survive in the autumn?"

"Then you have to figure out a way on your own. If you have good relationships with others, you can ask others to help you with the work. In short, you have to understand that this is not a place for you to enjoy yourself."

The armored man sighed and continued.

"In Ningguta, the winter is so cold that you can freeze to death, and the mosquitoes in the summer can eat you. If you want to survive, you have to work hard."

"Every morning you have to get up at the crowing of the cock and go to work in the fields with everyone else. Before you complete the task, someone will be watching you. Even a minute less will not do."

"If there is not enough food at home, you have to find another way. After working with everyone during the day, you can cultivate some land at night. Next year, you can grow some food yourself. If you really have nothing to eat, you can go dig wild vegetables, pick mushrooms, or go hunting in the mountains."

"Also, don't even think about running away. There are deep mountains and old forests all around here. Running away will lead to death. Oh, and I guess you won't run away now even for the sake of your relatives in the Nine Clans."

As the armored man was talking, they passed by a village.

There are two rows of low thatched houses on each side of the road.

Said the armored man.

"This village is where the group of people you saw just now live. If you don't want to live here, you have to keep going forward. After passing two more villages, you will reach where you live."

Speaking of the house, the armored man spoke to himself.

"You are lucky to have met me. You should know that, right? I have the final say on allocating houses. I will give you whatever I want. Even if I give you a cave, you can't do anything about it."

"But I'm not a bad person. I don't want to make things difficult for you. I see there are a lot of you, so I'm going to give you a big house to live in."

This was obviously an attempt to get them to do him a favor.

After hearing this, Su Miaomiao immediately held it up and said.

"Thank you for your help, sir. We will remember your kindness to us and repay you double when we are established here. In addition, we are new here and do not understand the rules here. Sometimes we are not thoughtful. We hope you can give us a few more pointers."

The armored man felt that Su Miaomiao was quite sensible. He was very satisfied and said with a smile on his face.

"Ningguta is a small society. We are different from other places. When you come to Ningguta, you must abide by the rules here. As long as you are obedient, we will not use force on you. Also, get along well with everyone. Especially since you have just arrived, it is best not to offend anyone."

After driving for a while, they finally arrived at the village that the armored man had mentioned.

"We're here. This is the village. Drive forward and remember to turn right at the intersection."

"You think this village I assigned to you is pretty good? There's a river in front of the village, which is convenient for fishing, and there's a mountain in the back, which is convenient for hunting and picking wild vegetables and mushrooms. This village is also relatively large, and the prisoners get along better than in other villages. Most importantly, the head of your village is my younger brother, Cui Fangzheng, and I'm Cui Fangyuan. I've arranged for you to be here so my brother can take care of you a little bit."

Li Zheng has the same meaning as the modern village head, but although the Li Zhengs in Ningguta are called Li Zhengs, they are still different from those in other places.

They are also men in armor. When the prisoners are obedient, they are no different from ordinary village heads. They only need to supervise the prisoners normally and lead them to work. But if the prisoners are disobedient, they can use more severe or even brutal means to make the prisoners obey their orders.

Cui Fangyuan's words sound nice, but he actually has his own little plans in mind.

There is also competition and comparison among the villages. The village that is better governed will be proud when it goes to the higher-level meetings.

He saw that Xiao Yunfei's family was obviously different from other prisoners. Great generals like Xiao Yunfei and some people with special skills or extensive knowledge were popular among all the villages. Such popular people should naturally be placed under the care of their own family.

I don’t know if there are any other benefits, but it would be good if I could ride in the van a few more times.

"Okay, okay, here we are. This is the house. It's yours!"

Su Miaomiao looked in the direction Cui Fangyuan pointed, and her heart finally settled down.
