"Mother, that's too much." When Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Yao heard this, they retorted at the same time. 50 taels for one family; two families would be 100 taels, equivalent to two years' output of 100 acres of land.
"You guys shut up." Mrs. Qiao's sharp eyes glared.
"Sister-in-law, if you've made up your mind, then we'll call the person to discuss it." The village chief said.
"Alright, go ahead." Mrs. Qiao nodded.
When the patriarch saw this, he immediately got up and went out. He called in two men who were in charge of the two families.
After they sat down, the village chief said a few polite words before talking about the compensation.
Of course, the other side couldn't agree at the beginning. However, under the tearful complaints of Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Yao, and the other women, it was finally set at sixty taels of silver for each family.
