My reborn husband and son are thinking about how to kill me every day.

Hongdu is not far from Shuanghe Village, and Ji Yunshuang and her group had rented an oxcart this time. In less than half an hour, they arrived at Shuanghe Village.

Looking at the picturesque village, everyone couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.

This is where they will live from now on.

Ji Yunshuang and her group quickly attracted the attention of the villagers of Shuanghe Village.

Before Ji Yunshuang could even go and ask around, someone came up to them and asked what they were doing in the village.

Ji Yunshuang quickly explained their situation, then took out a packet of pastries from her pocket and gave it to her, saying, "Excuse me, does elder sister know where the village head lives? Could you please show us the way?"

The woman who came to talk to me was a woman in her thirties.

The woman was very enthusiastic and refused to accept the pastries that Ji Yunshuang offered her, saying, "It's just showing you the way, why should you spend money on it?"

"Keep your things. If you need to go to the village head's house, just follow me. His house is at the east end of the village, not far away."

"Thank you so much, elder sister!" Ji Yunshuang insisted on stuffing the pastries into her hands, saying, "I made these myself, so it's not a big deal. I just wanted you to try my cooking."

Gao Lan reluctantly accepted the pastries and praised, "You're such a good talker, young lady. Your husband is truly blessed to have married such a wonderful wife like you."

Ji Yunshuang feigned shyness and modestly said a few words, then subtly inquired about the village's situation.

Gao Lan was a very talkative person, and with Ji Yunshuang's deliberate guidance, by the time they arrived at the village head's house, she had already gained a general understanding of the situation in Shuanghe Village.

Although Shuanghe Village is called Shuanghe Village, it does not mean that there are two rivers in the village.

It is said that the village is named Shuanghe Village because there is a mountain called Heshan in the village, and there is a river in the village. Later, someone named it that and it has been passed down ever since.

Shuanghe Village is actually the end of this official road.

Of all the villages where refugees were resettled, Shuanghe Village is the closest to Hongdu.

In reality, the fertile fields closest to Hongdu belonged to the estates of high-ranking officials and nobles.

Ji Yunshuang speculated that the reason Shuanghe Village appeared among the villages that resettled refugees was actually related to its geographical location.

Although Shuanghe Village is relatively close to Hongdu, the entire village is surrounded by mountains, and most of the arable land is mountainous, with relatively barren soil that is difficult to cultivate.

The entire village has only 98 households, with fewer than 400 people.

At present, Shuanghe Village has a small population. However, given the situation in Shuanghe Village, it is indeed impossible to accommodate more refugees.

After Gao Lan finished explaining the situation in the village, she was puzzled by the calm demeanor of the group of people.

Most people would show some worry after hearing about the situation in the village, so why aren't these families worried at all?

Little did she know that these shortcomings were no problem at all for Ji Yunshuang.

Just looking at the two high mountains in the village, she felt it was a place blessed with good fortune. Not to mention the beautiful little river that flows through the village.

This place has beautiful scenery and is simply a paradise for retirement.

The reason the Zhao family wasn't in a hurry was because they simply didn't know how to farm.

The reason for settling down in Shuanghe Village was simply to have a legitimate identity in Jiangzhou first, so that it would be easier to do things later.

The Mu family had already made plans; once settled, Mu Zhigang would go to the city to find a job as an accountant or something similar.

The Zhou family is small and can't cultivate too much land. Back in Yunshui Village, the family mainly relied on Zhou Dalin's odd jobs to support them.

Gao Lan didn't understand what was going on with this group of people, but at this moment the gate of the village head's courtyard had already been opened, so she quickly introduced them: "Auntie, these are refugees who have been arranged by the government to settle in our village. I met them at the village entrance and brought them here. Is Uncle Village Head home?"

Fang Lizheng's wife was a thin woman. She looked at Ji Yunshuang and the others and replied to Gao Lan, "Your uncle has gone out on business. Judging from the time, he probably won't be back so soon."

Ji Yunshuang wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt that the old lady seemed a little unhappy with the way she looked at them.

Regardless of whether she was happy or not, she decided to try the sweet talk first. She took out the small bundle she had prepared beforehand and greeted her with a smile.

"We're new here and there's a lot we don't know. Please take care of us in the future."

Lu Yuzhu's round eyes darted around, and she imitated her mother, saying, "Grandma, my name is Lu Yuzhu. You can call me Zhuzhu. We'll be neighbors from now on, so let's visit each other often."

The little girl was adorable and spoke in a sweet, childlike voice, which inexplicably dispelled some of Liao's displeasure.

She hadn't expected that not only was the young wife so capable, but the little boy was also so clever.

She had originally planned to just let them stand at the door and wait.

But when faced with Ji Yunshuang's smiling face and Lu Yuzhu's bright, watery eyes, her heart could no longer harden.

In addition, Gao Lan kept speaking well of them, saying that Ji Yunshuang and her family were clearly well-educated and reasonable people. She said that having such a group of well-educated and reasonable people in the village would definitely be better than those unreasonable people, and that everyone would be able to get along well in the future.

She forced a smile and asked, "Do you have any documents?"

"Yes, yes." Ji Yunshuang looked at Lu Yinheng, who then took out the household register and showed it to Liao.

The Zhou and Zhao families also took out their household registration documents and showed them to her.

Although Ms. Liao did not know many characters, her husband was the village head, and her children were all sent to school, so she could still distinguish whether the household registration certificate was genuine or not.

Seeing that it was indeed stamped by the government and assigned to the refugees in their village, she hesitated for a moment before saying, "I see you have a lot of luggage. How about I find you a place to stay first and you can unload all this stuff?"

However, she did not accept the things that Ji Yunshuang sent her.

Ji Yunshuang could tell that the old lady liked her daughter.

She handed the small bundle to her daughter, winked at her, and said, "Thank you, Auntie."

On the way, Lu Yuzhu carried the small bundle her mother had given her and acted quite cutely, which not only got Liao to accept the things, but also made her smile a little when they arrived at the old house she had mentioned.

"This is my old house. You can move your things down first. I'll go find my husband."

Ji Yunshuang quickly thanked her again, asked how much the rent was, and said she would pay the rent to them.

Liao waved her hand, indicating that they would discuss the rest when her husband returned.

Ji Yunshuang then stopped insisting.

They rented an oxcart, and the driver was getting impatient from the delay. As for the house, whether to rent or buy, we can discuss that later.

The group worked together to unload everything from the oxcart.

When they came to Shuanghe Village, Zhao Mu's family members rented an oxcart together.

Only the Lu family rented two oxcarts.

Moreover, because they bought so much stuff, neither of the two oxcarts could hold it all. Ji Yunshuang hung many more items on the cows so they could carry them.

However, since the cow belonged to the Lu family, Ji Yunshuang did not rush to unload its cargo, but instead led the cow directly into the yard.

Liao had previously found it strange that when they rented vehicles, they usually rented those with frames, but instead hired a strange-looking ox to carry their goods.

Seeing Ji Yunshuang's actions, he realized that the cow belonged to her family.

These refugees were not only neatly dressed, but also appeared to have some means of livelihood. And they were even assigned to their village…

This made her unsure of the other party's true identity, and she was preoccupied when she went to see Fang Lizheng.

She almost bumped into Fang Lizheng on the road without even realizing it.

Seeing Liao's preoccupied appearance, Fang Lizheng frowned and asked, "What are you thinking about? Aren't you watching where you're going?"

Upon seeing her husband, Liao hurriedly said, "Several refugee families have arrived."

Fang Lizheng asked with some surprise, "How come it's so fast?"

After learning that Shuanghe Village had been designated as a refugee-receiving village, he began to make his own moves.

Based on the government's past practices, they shouldn't have been able to send refugees to villages like theirs so quickly.

They're usually saved for later, to be used as a favor or something.

Although the farmland in Shuanghe Village isn't the best, it does have its advantages. For example, there are two large mountains in the village.

The government encouraged the people to reclaim wasteland.

If you work hard enough, you can open up more land.

Crucially, it also has the advantage of being relatively close to macros.

His youngest son fell in love with a girl whose family originally ran a business in the city.

It seems I've lost a lot of money in business this year and can't keep it going. So I'm thinking of closing the shop and moving back to the countryside.

But it is said that his whole family has been away from their hometown for many years, and their old house in the countryside has long been dilapidated. Now that they have gone back, they will have to rebuild the house and start from scratch.

After learning that he was the village head of Shuanghe Village, the other party made a condition, saying that she wanted to take advantage of this opportunity of refugee settlement to ask him to pull some strings to move her family to Shuanghe Village.

If it works out, the marriage will proceed; if it doesn't, the marriage will be called off.

Fang Lizheng was very displeased with the conditions proposed by the other party and was unwilling to make any efforts to find a way to achieve them.

Unfortunately, his youngest son had taken a liking to that girl and insisted on marrying her.

His youngest son was sickly from a young age, and it was a difficult time raising him. The couple doted on him even more.

He had no choice but to swallow his pride and go through with the activity.

But now that the government has arranged for refugees to come, it means that the matter can no longer be accomplished.

He sighed and said, "I'll go take a look."

"My youngest son..." Liao said with some worry, "Won't he do something rash?"

Fang Lizheng said angrily, "There's nothing we can do if he can't see the light! His father is just a village head, not an official in the government! How much power can he possibly have?"

If he thinks I'm incompetent, then let him study hard and pass the imperial examinations.

If he fails the exam again next year, he shouldn't continue studying. He should go to the city like his older brothers and find a job to earn money.

Liao was already upset, and then he yelled at her, so she retorted angrily, "Why are you taking it out on me! This isn't my fault."

Fang Lizheng said, "If you hadn't spoiled him, would he be so arrogant and ignorant?"

Liao pouted and glared at him sideways, saying, "You haven't spoiled me! If you hadn't spoiled me, would you have been running around like crazy these past few days?"

Fang Lizheng retorted, "I'm not going to argue with you!" and stormed off to the old house.
