Chapter 388: Recruiting Workers
Chapter 388: Recruiting Workers
Ji Xingle didn't know what the queen was thinking. If she knew, she would definitely ask her if she was too idle. She wouldn't mind finding something for her to do...
Speaking of finding things to do, Ji Xingle has run into trouble again...
The villagers of this unknown village all gathered on the main road. Ji Xingle got off his horse out of curiosity and blended into the crowd.
Qin Jiu and his companions smiled helplessly when they saw this. Who could have thought that such a capable person actually liked to read gossip...
Ji Xingle looked at the woman next to him who was about the same age as her and asked;
"Sisters, what are they doing?"
The woman was also very familiar with him, especially when she saw that Ji Xingle was so handsome, she was in a good mood and told him everything...
"It's like this, Village Chief Shi's family gave birth to more than 20 children, all of them boys.
Village Chief Shi did not give up and looked for someone to give him a daughter, but it was all in vain.
Just now, the younger brother of Village Chief Shi married into our village and found out that the man who had had an affair with his sister before had a daughter who looked exactly like his sister.
As soon as he found out, he immediately went back to the village and called his sister, Village Chief Shi.
But in that family, the husband had died long ago after giving birth, and now no one knows what the truth is.
Langjun's family also had sons, and they also wanted a daughter, so the two families started arguing..."
Hearing this, Ji Xingle's eyes widened in disbelief;
"So Village Chief Shi thinks the child is hers just because they look the same?"
"Of course not. My husband's family doesn't allow blood test, so they can only use appearance to prove their relationship."
Ji Xingle found it very funny to see them holding sticks and hoes and refusing to give in to each other.
Regardless of whether they favor boys over girls or girls over boys, these people are truly toxic. If this is true, can't they just discuss it and raise the child together?
Two families, two loves, how good is it? Why make it like enemies?
I have never thought about the feelings of the child, nor have I sympathized with the person who went through the hardship of pregnancy and birth.
This village chief Shi is really shameless. He did something to someone but didn't take responsibility. Now he wants to sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor. He is quite thoughtful...
Just when Ji Xingle was still wondering how they would solve the problem in the end, the child came running over, panting;
"Grandma, grandpa, uncles..."
Hearing this, the child's family members stepped forward vigilantly to support the child, and said distressedly;
"Baoer, why are you here? Didn't I tell you not to come out? Go back quickly, we are here..."
"Grandma, Grandpa, don't worry, I'm fine..."
After the child finished speaking, he looked at the village chief Shi in front of him with unfamiliar eyes and said seriously;
"I don't know you. My father never told me about you before he died. Moreover, my father was pregnant with me for ten months.
Since I was 10 years old, my grandparents have been taking care of me. When I was short of food, my uncles helped me out.
There was no trace of you during this period. If I was really your child, you should not have come to snatch me from my grandmother at this time.
My grandparents need me to take care of them, they can't live without me.
If you really want to find me and recognize me, then you should first give me 100 taels to compensate my grandmother, grandfather, uncles, etc...."
"hiss..."
The crowd gasped. One hundred taels! Their whole family worked all their lives and didn't even know if they had one hundred taels. This girl was so bold.
Village chief Shi and her family members cursed loudly;
"What? One hundred taels? Why don't you just go and rob?"
The child took a few steps back in fear, but then he thought of this irresponsible person and said that he couldn't let her succeed, so he pretended to be calm.
"Aren't you also robbing?"
"Me? When did I rob it? Don't talk nonsense..."
"Aren't you trying to snatch me from my grandmother? You know the price of 100 taels, but have you ever thought about how much effort my grandmother put into raising me?"
Upon hearing this, Village Chief Shi's family was furious. They believed that their daughter was their own child.
Since she was their offspring, she should stand on the same side with them. I didn't expect her to be so ungrateful. A group of people pointed at her viciously and said;
"You ungrateful bastard..."
When these words came out, the child's grandmother and the others were unhappy;
"Your father's bullshit, you are the ungrateful one, your whole family is the ungrateful one, you are a lowly person who claims to be your relative.
Our Baoer has never used a single cent from your family, so what right do you have to scold her?"
"Just scold me. Whose daughter have you ever seen renting a house outside? If she is not an ungrateful person, what else can she be?"
Hearing this, the child was so angry that he trembled all over, his eyes were red, and he clenched his fists and shouted;
"You're talking nonsense. There are so many people who look like you, why don't you see anyone else randomly claiming to be their relative?
I've told you I'm not your child, no, no, why won't you let us go?
What do you want to do? Do you believe that if you dare to force me to go to your house, I will burn it down..."
"Baoer, don't talk nonsense. With us here, they can't take you away..."
Several elderly people hugged her and comforted her with concern.
The Shi family was stunned. They didn't understand. Wasn't it normal to recognize one's ancestors? Why was she so resistant?
Seeing that the little girl had no intention of returning, the other villagers also advised Village Chief Shi not to force them.
Don't scare the child. Both families have sons. It's not easy to have a baby. You should love her well.
No matter where she lives, she should be respected.
Some villagers also pointed fingers at the little sister, saying that she was an ungrateful person who only recognized her father and didn't recognize her mother...
When the little girl heard these insults, she felt so wronged that she cried and gasped for breath. She hated herself for not being able to deal with these people.
I hate these gossipers so much. Half of the reason why her father died was because he was hurt by these gossipers.
Her father was gone, but these executioners were still alive and well. She hated them so much! She wanted to take her grandmother and the others away from this cold and heartless place...
The child could no longer bear the annoying noises that kept coming into her ears and said loudly;
"Shut up, all of you. You don't need to meddle in my family affairs. You have so many problems of your own, and you still have the time to talk about others. Do you have any shame?"
Everyone was startled, and when they came to their senses they cursed;
"Hey, how do you speak like that, kid? No wonder your father died early, he has no upbringing..."
"I'm trying to get you to recognize your ancestry, but you're still showing off. Do you really think you're a gold nugget?"
......
Ji Xingle frowned as he listened to these words. This was too much. He looked at the little sister again and could no longer hide the stabbing look in his eyes.
If her grandmother and her people hadn't stopped her, those gossipers would have been beaten up.
"Just shut up..."
"Oh! I'm so scared! Come and hit me if you dare?"
"If you don't learn well when you are young, what will happen when you grow up?"
"Village Chief Shi, I think you should not recognize this child! This child is obviously ungrateful.
Food is scarce nowadays, so it is better to fill your own stomach and avoid wasting food..."
Village Chief Shi ignored them and lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
The little sister whispered to her grandmother;
"Grandma, please let me go. I'm going to tear apart those who cursed my father..."
Hearing them scolding their sons, the elderly also had red eyes, but their families were poor, if they let their children do it,
Not only can they not afford to pay, but even their children will be criticized, so they can only swallow the bitter fruit.
"Child, don't go. Be obedient. Let's go back and not bother with them..."
The little girl obviously thought of this and could only endure the humiliation. Just because she couldn't do anything to them now didn't mean she couldn't do anything to them secretly. After she figured it out, she took the old man's hand and prepared to leave.
As a result, the group of gossipy uncles behind them did not let them go and continued to verbally humiliate the dead.
Ji Xingle watched the little sister almost lose control of her emotions several times, but was persuaded by the old man. She was a good child.
She liked the child very much, and Lingfan Kingdom happened to need manpower for farming.
Thinking of this, Ji Xingle said;
"Child..."
