“The name of the village is auspicious. Our future must be very blessed.” Madam He smiled brightly when she saw the name of the village.

The name of the village was secondary. The main thing was that they finally had somewhere to settle.

“Yes, Mother. Our future must be better,” Ning Yue replied with a smile.

The guide led them to the very center of Laifu Village, where the natives lived.

The village chief of Laifu Village was a middle-aged man who looked slightly older than Ning Bai.

“This is the village chief of Laifu Village, Yang Guang. This is the village chief of the Ning Family Village that the magistrate told you about, Ning Bai.”

The magistrate had actually informed him beforehand!

Ning Yue saw the benefits of the bronze token again. At the same time, this person’s identity was even more suspicious.

Thinking of this, Ning Yue looked at Gu Yu again. Gu Yu definitely knew that person’s identity, but he was unwilling to say it.

Forget it. She would ask another time.

Ning Yue came back to her senses and saw that Yang Guang was already checking the official letter.

The more Yang Guang read it, the more surprised he was. This group of people’s accommodation fees were written clearly, and it was the kind that was casually quoted.

It seemed that these people were all respected.

He silently sized up the large group of people. However, these people were dressed in tattered clothes, so he could not see anything different.

They were also fleeing for their lives. It was obvious that they were poorer than the people of Laifu Village.

“I’m very welcome to have a large village like yours set up here. It’s just that I have something to say first. I’m the village chief of Laifu Village. I’ll be the only village chief in the future.”

“If you have any problems or difficulties, you can come to me. The east side of the village is a forbidden area. No one is allowed to approach it. You have to control the children at home. If anyone doesn’t listen and goes to that area, they will be dealt with by the village rules.”

“I’ll mark out the large open space to the south for you to settle in. As for how each family will be given, you can decide for yourselves. Remember to tell me when you’re done.”

“It’s already afternoon. You’re not in a hurry to build a house today. Building a house isn’t something that can be done in a day or two. We have a few families who moved away. You can stay over there until your house is built.”

After Yang Guang finished speaking, he returned the official letter to Ning Bai.

His arrangements were good. What they needed most now was a place to rest.

Just as Yang Guang had said, building a house was not something that could be done in a day or two. They had to find a place to stay first. Otherwise, there would be no shelter.

“Thank you,” Ning Bai said gratefully.

After so long on the road, he finally had somewhere to stay. How could he not be happy?

Yang Guang looked at this group of people and actually felt quite upset. Originally, their village had very few people and had a lot of resources. Now that a group of people had come to split the resources, and the resources each of them could obtain would decrease.

However, this was the government’s intention. The magistrate had personally come here to warn him that he could not treat these people badly.

He really wanted to know who this group of people was.

At first, he was very worried that these people would bully them. After all, these people were the refugees that the magistrate had mentioned.

He did not expect to find out that these people were ordinary people who were fleeing.

“Let’s go. I’ll show you where you’re staying first.”

Yang Guang brought them to the house that they would be living in these days. Although there were only three families, the houses of these three families were still very spacious.

Madam He and the other sisters-in-law snatched the largest house at the first moment. They had the most family members, and Ning Yue had two children with her. Without a big house, they could not live in it.

Apart from Third Aunt, who muttered something about the situation, no one in the village had any objections.

After the Ning family settled their things, they began to cook.

As they had already arrived in Linzhou, they were so happy that they forgot to eat. They only felt hungry after settling down.

After eating, it was night.

After Ning Yue handed the two twins to Old Master Ning and Old Madam Ning, she couldn’t wait to pull Madam He to the river. She found a hidden place and placed the prepared toiletries and change of clothes on a cushion.

As it was night, not only did Madam He not see the mat, but she also could not see what was in the bamboo basket. She thought that it was a change of clothes that Ning Yue had brought.

“Mother, we haven’t showered for many days. Our bodies stink. Let’s shower first,” Ning Yue said to Madam He with a smile.
