"The village chief will explain everything to all of you later. For now, drive your carriages over there and park them. I'll measure out the land for you based on your household registrations."
As they spoke, they entered the village. The people who had been busy working in the fields now gathered around in curiosity. They knew what the village chief had gone to do, but he had brought back far too many people. With so many newcomers here to divide their land and snatch their rations, disgust filled the villagers' eyes. However, with the Lord present and the newcomers outnumbering them, they could only swallow their complaints.
As soon as Bai Suihe stepped out of the carriage, she noticed many people staring at her. She simply stared back openly. To her surprise, everyone looked away the moment she met their gazes.
