Su Muqing’s thoughts were that, although she had heavily scolded the old woman this time and vented her anger, in the eyes of the villagers from now on, she would be thoroughly regarded as an unfilial and ungrateful person. It would likely be difficult to salvage this bad impression.
However, she did not regret it. That old dried-up prune was always leaning on her age and putting on airs! If it weren't for the fact that she was an elder, Su Muqing would have wanted to slap her across the face!
“Congratulations to the host. You have gained 47 points of admiration, converted into 235 contribution points. You have gained 46 points of appreciation, converted into 46 contribution points. Please continue to work hard!”
… ?
Su Muqing: What? What is going on? An immediate addition of 281 contribution points? This is too unexpected!
She immediately focused her gaze on the space data analysis panel in her mind. A cluster of red and blue lines was floating there.
The red lines represented admiration points, almost entirely given by those who were wives themselves or young girls who had already understood things.
The exception was the oddball, Third Brother, who was the only man present who also gave admiration points!
What surprised Su Muqing was that the remaining appreciation points were mostly given by the men present. There was also a small portion given by the older villagers.
One must know that men in ancient times almost all respected their elders. She hadn’t expected that they would actually approve of Su Muqing’s recent actions.
The funniest part of the whole scene was probably the three daughters-in-law who were supporting Chen Shi towards the main hall. They had actually contributed a wave of admiration points. Currently, on the analysis panel, there were three red data lines constantly moving!
With this influx of contribution points, Su Muqing felt very reassured. There were only about a hundred people present. If 83% of them supported her in their hearts, what did she have to fear?
Su Minghui was also very pleased. However, as the village chief, he naturally could not offer praise in this situation. No matter what, Chen Shi was an elder, and superficial courtesy had to be maintained!
He cleared his throat, looked at Su Muqing, and said sternly, “Cough! Where is Muqing girl? She must have been too angry. But you are not allowed to do this next time! Do you understand?”
Su Muqing knew that Su Minghui was giving her a way to back down. So, she nodded obediently and returned to her previous state, becoming the gentle, beautiful, and demure eldest daughter of the Su family. Where was there any trace of her previous fierceness?
Tsk tsk! Are these all graduates of TVB training classes? Each of them has multiple faces!
Su Minghui nodded with satisfaction, then continued to address the villagers, “Alright! Let’s not talk about those miscellaneous people and matters… Oh, right! I have another piece of good news to tell everyone. Elder Xu has agreed to Muqing girl’s request. They will travel with us from now on. They will also send people to search for supplies and water sources with us. Of course! This quota will naturally be counted towards Muqing girl’s family. Do you all have any objections to this?”
“No objections! Absolutely no objections. With people as skilled as them traveling with us, how could we have any objections?”
“Yes! Wherever they want to count it, we have no objections.”
…
The villagers expressed their delight one after another. With people of such great ability, only fools would object. No matter whose family it was counted towards, wouldn’t the supplies found eventually be shared by everyone? What was there to argue about?
“That’s right. In the end, it’s all thanks to Muqing girl. We are all benefiting from her,” Su Mingyong said with a smile, and then reminded everyone appropriately.
“Yes, yes, yes. Muqing girl is capable!”
“Thanks to the girl’s kind heart for saving Elder Xu’s family. Well done, girl!”
…
“Congratulations to the host. You have gained 503 points of gratitude, converted into 50 contribution points. Please continue to work hard!”
Unexpectedly gaining another small wave of contribution points, she had to thank Su San Shu for leading the momentum!
Su Minghui was also quite satisfied with everyone’s reaction. Today’s objective should have been met quite perfectly, right? “Alright! That’s all for today’s matters. Each household, send one person over to receive 5 taels of silver from Sister Qing. After receiving the silver, those families who have added new members should come to me to receive grain.”
Having Su Muqing distribute the silver was also a deliberate arrangement by Su Minghui. Only in this way could everyone be more deeply grateful to Qing girl.
This was indeed the case. Now that the silver had been distributed to the villagers in tangible form, everyone was completely at ease and genuinely grateful to Su Muqing.
Especially after receiving the silver and returning to their families, as they gathered together to examine the silver ingots, their gratitude towards Su Muqing surged!
This was reflected in the constant reminders of gratitude point changes in Su Muqing’s mind. Coupled with the previous 354, she had gained a total of 3869 gratitude points today, which converted to 370 contribution points.
Just today, she had gained a total of 281 + 50 + 370 = 701 contribution points! Yes! Sometimes, surprises really come out of nowhere!
