Chapter 258 I Learned All of This from You Adults

"My family only gives jobs to those who are on good terms with us. Those who have a mortal enmity with us should know better and not sign up. Even if they do, I won't give them jobs. It would be a waste of everyone's time."

Luo Lingying ran back anxiously. Seeing Ji Jingnan nearby, she tentatively approached and asked, "Ji Lizheng, you said you wanted us to live a good life. Now there's a good job in front of us, but someone is trying to stop us. Can you please say something?"

Ji Jingnan said calmly, "What I meant at the beginning was just to let you live. A good life? What kind of life is a good life? For ordinary people, it is enough to have enough food and clothing. Do you still want me to let you live the same life as His Majesty?"

Luo Lingying choked, "That's not what I meant."

Ji Jingnan said, "The Song family wants someone to work. Not only me, but even the Emperor cannot interfere. Besides, what you did before was indeed excessive. It's normal for others not to want someone from your family to work."

Luo Lingying thought for a moment and continued, "But Song Chuman is still alive after all. They shouldn't hold a grudge like this."

Song Chuman said coldly, "Are you being magnanimous? I heard that the kid next to you only pushed your son. Your son didn't get any skin broken or any bones injured."

"Yet you found your mother's brother and took advantage of him being out in the middle of the night to secretly beat him half to death. When they found you, you refused to admit it."

"For this, you were beaten with a stick and had to lie down for three months before you recovered."

Luo Lingying blushed instantly. It had been so many years since this happened, and Song Chuman actually knew about it.

It must have been her parents who said that. That's too much!

Song Chuman continued, "If we follow your style of doing things, we should also beat you half to death. But if you can jump into the sea, if you can come back alive, maybe I will forgive you."

Luo Lingying frowned and said, "You...how could you say that? This is too vicious."

Song Chuman: "Your man wants me dead, isn't he vicious? I'm just a child, and I learned all this from you adults."

"you!"

Song Chuman: "One last thing, no matter how you guys make trouble, I don't want any of the people who asked me to sacrifice them."

After hearing what she said, those people could only leave in shame.

Luo Lingying muttered a few words and left.

The others wanted to ask about the specific details of their future work, but when they saw the carriage from Tianwailou coming, they had no choice but to leave.

Ji Jingnan didn't leave for the time being, and watched the eldest branch of the Song family sell seafood.

Song Chuman didn't mind either.

Sun Xiaohe got off the carriage and didn't go to look at the seafood for the time being. Instead, he walked towards Song Hexiu with concern: "I saw a lot of people leaving your place just now. Is there any trouble? If there is any trouble, just let me know. Tianwailou can support you."

Although Song Hexiu knew that he probably just didn't want to lose his stable source of seafood, he still looked grateful: "Thank you, but the new village head is different from the previous one. He is a person who can distinguish right from wrong. Those people are not to be feared."

"That's good." Sun Xiaohe said, "If you have anything to say, just ask directly. Don't be polite. Our boss is very capable."

Song Hexiu said politely again: "Thank you."

Just now, the strong men unloaded all the seafood and placed it at the entrance of the cave.

Sun Xiaohe looked over and said in astonishment, "Are you guys out to sea again today? There's so much seafood here."
