After the house was confiscated, I relied on billions of dollars in supplies to become a group favor

Chapter 188
The aroma of meat buns around is fragrant, especially when Zhang on the side is already holding his own buns and eating them deliciously. Mu Qinghong is already hungry and just casually talks about hunger strike. Standing here now , my stomach started growling again.

Mu Qinghong bit her lip and stood stiffly and hesitantly. The few willful wails just now had gradually softened.

She thought, why does Mu Qingshuang still stay at her grandfather's house and enjoy the good life? She has to live a miserable life here!Why should she seek death? She also wants to live a good life. Grandpa will definitely come to save their mother and daughter!

Mu Qinghong turned around and happened to see an official talking to Mu Yunxiao at the door. He couldn't hear clearly what they said, but the polite attitude of the official was enough to reveal Mu Yunxiao's identity.

Even without the help of her grandfather, her eldest brother had such a good relationship with the officials, there was no telling if they would be able to return to the capital one day!

After soothing himself, Mu Qinghong managed to feel relieved, but the hand covering his face still didn't rest for a moment.

She silently took the piece of fragrant steamed bun, stuffed it into her mouth and started to chew it slowly.

Mu Qinghong just took a few bites, and the hands covering her face did not dare to relax for a moment. She couldn't help but feel sad and stopped for a moment.

Having heard what their mother and daughter said earlier, Mu Zhengbai had eagerly moved over, with a rippling smile on his human-like face.

"Hong'er, don't you want to eat? Come on, be obedient and give it to daddy."

Mu Qinghong ignored him at all, tightly grabbing the bun in her hand and stuffing it into her mouth.

"Give it to me!" Mu Zhengbai could no longer keep the smile on his face, suddenly showed a fierce look, let out a loud roar, and even planned to reach out to grab the steamed buns.

Mu Qinghong dodged away vigilantly, grabbing Mrs. Zhang from behind, staring at Mu Zhengbai angrily, and cursed without any ambiguity: "Mu Zhengbai! You are shameless, and you want to be with me?" My daughter is grabbing food!”

Why does she have such a useless and inappropriate father!Her life is too miserable!
Mu Qinghong's shout was quite loud and immediately attracted the attention of everyone who was eating and drinking.

Perhaps because he felt that his little daughter looked down on him so much and was really embarrassed to this day, Mu Zhengbai got up angrily, raised his hand suddenly, and wanted to deal with her severely!

"I've rebelled against you! Even your father dares to scold you! I'll beat you to death, you white-eyed wolf!"

Seeing that Mu Zhengbai was coming to beat her, Mu Qinghong was so frightened that she hid behind Mrs. Zhang. Just when Mu Zhengbai was about to come over to deal with the mother and daughter, a majestic and steady scolding came from behind.

"Stop! Control your temper!"

Seeing that Mu Zhengbai was about to take action again, Mrs. Mu Tai scolded him coldly.

Under this farce, the official who was resting lazily on the table also cast his gaze over. Only then did Mu Zhengbai retract his hand, shook his sleeves heavily, and walked away with curses in his mouth.

……

After the tattooing, it was the official's turn to allocate homesteads to the new batch of exiled prisoners, allowing them to build their own houses on the allocated homesteads.

This rule had been settled many years ago. It was decided by the then city lord of Yue City after discussions with the imperial court.

Allocating homesteads to prisoners can, on the one hand, allow them to take the initiative to stay in Yuecheng and take root in the city. On the other hand, it can also reduce the chaos caused by too many prisoners and slowly turn them into local residents.

Allocating homesteads is nothing more than allocating a piece of land. For the officials in Yue City, the vast and remote Yue City is remote and barren. The most indispensable thing is land. A piece of land can allow prisoners to stay in Yue City and work honestly. It's a brilliant strategy.When allocating homestead land, the number is chosen by lottery on a family basis. If you are lucky enough to get a higher number, you can choose a better piece of land in advance to build a house.

Since the Mu family was divided long ago, the descendants of Mrs. Mu Tai and Aunt Cui Tai are now one family, and each can be allocated a piece of homestead land.

But there are also disadvantages to the separation of two families. A family of less than five people needs to provide at least one labor force to work in the mine, while a family of five to ten people needs to provide two people, and 20 people means three people.

As for Aunt Cui's house, they don't have much labor available for work, so splitting it into two houses is especially uneconomical for their family.

After a few strange words from the eldest daughter-in-law, Aunt Cuitai made some calculations, and approached Mrs. Mutai eagerly with a shy face.

"Madam, how about we merge into one family and work together?"

Aunt Cui had her own ideas when considering this. He could see that Mu Yunxiao and his wife had a good relationship with the officials. It would be good if they could get some easy work from them through the help of the officials.What's more, if they merge into one family, how can brothers Mu Yunxiao and Mu Yunchao have the nerve to let their two uncles work more?

There are no suitable young adults in their group, so there is no reason for nephews to watch their uncle work! ?

Aunt Cui proudly carried this idea, and after speaking the call straightforwardly, she waited for Mrs. Mutai to agree.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Mutai shook her head without thinking, a slight smile appeared on her calm and kind face, and she simply refused: "No, since the family has been separated, there is no need to reunite. ."

The smile on Aunt Cui's face suddenly froze, and she was stunned. Then she forced a smile and asked in disbelief: "What did you say!?"

"Tui'er, please go back. There is no need to discuss the merger."

Compared to Aunt Cui's stiff smile, Mrs. Mutai still maintained a calm attitude and repeated each word in a calm tone.

She already knew who Cui'er was, not to mention Mu Zhengchuan was useless, so why should she cause trouble to her family?

Being dismissed so simply and neatly, Aunt Cui really lost her temper. She turned her head and walked away angrily, leaving behind a sentence that sounded like a threat.

"Madam, don't regret it!"

As the representative young man of their cell, Mu Yunxiao was called out by the officers to draw lots. He walked out with a normal expression. The whole family was not as nervous as other prisoners.

After all, it all depends on luck. Regardless of whether you are nervous or not, the result will be determined by the result of drawing lots.

Besides... they were not unprepared.

Before Mu Yunxiao left, he looked at Ruan He for a moment. The two smiled at each other and said nothing more in tacit agreement.

In order to be fair and save trouble, the official assignment of homesteads to the new batch of prisoners was done by drawing lots, mainly by sorting them one by one by serial number, so that the person with serial number [-] would be the first to choose the homestead, followed by number [-], and so on. And so on.
