However, the figure flashed too quickly and disappeared before she could confirm.
Gu Yundong put down the curtains and asked the coachman to follow the child to the village chief’s house.
Yongfu Village was a village with a variety of surnas. Many of the families’ ancestors had fled here. After taking root here for a long ti, they slowly developed to their current scale.
The village chief’s family na was Chen, and he lived in the center of the village. His family background was not bad, and the house he lived in was the only green brick house in the village.
When the carriage stopped in front of his house, there were already many people following behind it.
Gu Yundong was shocked when he ca down, especially the children. They looked at her eagerly with an expression that said, “Do you have any more questions for ?” It was as if they would be able to earn sweets the mont she opened her mouth.
The corners of Gu Yundong’s mouth twitched. After Madam Yang ca down with a bag, he turned around and carried Gu Yunshu and Gu Yunke down.
She asked the coachman to wait for her outside for the ti being before knocking on the village chief’s door.
The commotion outside the door was naturally heard by the people inside. Hence, just as Gu Yundong raised his hand, a young woman dressed like a married lady walked out. “Who are you looking for?”
As she spoke, she looked at the large carriage behind them.
Before Gu Yundong could reply, a child behind him said loudly, “They’re looking for the village chief.”
As soon as she finished speaking, a tall male voice ca from the house. “Let soone in first.”
The woman moved aside and smiled as she let Gu Yundong in. The mont the door closed, the villagers outside could not see what was going on inside.
The village chief’s na was Chen Liang. He was about 40 to 50 years old and was very thin. He did not put on any airs and looked quite easy to talk to.
Gu Yundong handed over the household registration docunt. Chen Liang narrowed his eyes and stared at it for a long ti before nodding and saying, “The Junior Officer told before that three families want to settle down here in our village. The other two families ca over a few days ago. I thought you should be here soon.”
He looked up at Gu Yundong and Madam Yang, who were standing behind her. He found it strange that the person in charge was such a thirteen-year-old girl. However, he lowered his head to look at the docunt and could not help but frown. “The house owner is Gu Dajiang?”
“Yes, the owner is my father. It’s just that he got separated from us when we were escaping from the wilderness.”
“If he went missing, the governnt usually thinks that he has already…” Chen Liang stopped mid-sentence. Most people who went missing on the way to escape were dead. There were rules in the governnt for these things, but the docunt still wrote Gu Dajiang, which ant that this girl had already talked about the matter in the governnt.
Since that was the case, he would just follow the docunts.
“Alright, I understand.” Chen Liang closed the docunt and began to talk about serious matters. “Since you’ve settled in our village, you’ll be people in the village from now on. Because you were sent by the imperial court, you don’t have to buy a hostead. You can get a mu of land according to the number in your family. If you think it’s too small, you can buy more.”
It was because the new emperor was benevolent and gave special treatnt to the refugees who were affected this ti.
“However, you can’t choose the location of the hostead. There are only three in total. Moreover, you ca the latest and the other two have already chosen. You can go and take a look later. If you feel that the location is not good and want to buy another place, you can tell . If you’re satisfied, then find soone to build the house as soon as possible. It’s almost winter. If you don’t hurry, it’ll be difficult to do. Also, before the house is built, you can stay in the villagers’ houses. You have to give them so rent.”
“Of course.” Gu Yundong had also considered it..
