Ji Mingxuan suppressed his laughter and said, "Okay, stop messing around! Let's get back to work! Fix the house soon so we can rest early."

After hearing what the eldest brother said, several people stopped making trouble and began to work seriously with Master Zheng's son.

Soon Zhou came running back in a hurry: "A Ying!"

Ji Changying agreed loudly, and Zhou ran up to him like the wind: "Are you going to fight today? Why didn't you take me with you?"

Ji Changying was stunned by this question: "When did I go to fight?"

Seeing that she didn't admit it, Zhou became anxious: "I heard it all. You even demolished the gate of the village chief's house!"

All the brothers stopped what they were doing.

Ji Mingxuan frowned: "What happened? I believe you wouldn't be like this for no reason."

"That's right, did they bully you?" Ji Mingxue shook off the dirt on his hands and prepared to roll up his sleeves to fight.

"Nothing, just when I came back today..."

Ji Changying recounted what had happened before and after she met Aunt Yang in the village. Zhou immediately became furious: "How wicked! Isn't this bullying? Can I chop them to pieces with a knife?"

She looked at her son seriously and asked.

As long as Ji Changchuan dared to answer yes, she would pick up the knife and leave.

Ji Changchuan looked at his old mother with a look of satisfaction: "Mom is really great now! She actually knew to ask me in advance, so great!"

Zhou felt a little embarrassed by the compliment, and she covered her face with her hands and twisted her body.

Ji Changying: "...is your focus off?"

Ji Mingxuan said calmly: "Let's not worry about it. Wait for Dad and uncle to come back and ask them to go find the village chief."

Ji Changying also felt that it was a small matter and not worth taking seriously, so she pulled the angry Zhou aside to comfort her.

"My mother is such a powerful person, so of course she would only help when something big happens to the family. It would be a waste of her talent to do such a small thing!"

"You have to know that important people always appear at critical moments. We are of no use to such a small matter."

Zhou pondered: "Am I a big shot then?"

"Of course! Powerful people are all important people. If we want to take care of things in the future, we have to take care of big things. Small things are not worthy of our intervention."

"So what is a big deal and what is a small deal?"

"Family and country are the most important things, everything else is trivial!"

Zhou didn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence, but she still kept it in mind.

As soon as Ji Fengyi and Ji Fengshou returned home in the evening, Ji Changchuan couldn't wait to tell them about this.

Ji Fengyi frowned and said, "I understand."

Ji Fengshou burned charcoal in the mountains for a whole day, and his entire body was black from hair to nostrils.

After hearing what his son said, he bit the steamed bun with fingerprints on it fiercely and said, "Bah! You still want to bully us? Don't you even see how many eyes the Horse King has!"

Ji Mingxuan glanced at his father and said, "We want to go and see it too."

With just one sentence, he brought all three younger brothers with him.

Ji Fengyi glanced at his son, who stood there as tall as a pine tree, and nodded: "You are also the pillars of the family, so it is natural that you should be together."

After receiving his father's affirmation, Ji Mingxuan suppressed his joy and lowered his head to eat his meal.

After a quick meal, Ji Fengyi rushed to the village chief's house with his son, nephew and younger brother.

Those who were waiting to see what happened next didn't expect that before the village chief's family took action, the Ji family's people came first.

So I followed along with a little excitement and gossip.

Before the village chief's gate was even repaired, a group of curious people rushed into the yard and shouted, "Hurry up and get some help!"

"The elders of the girl who tore down your door are here!"

The village chief had just scolded the whole family, and when he heard this, his face tightened and he came out with a stern face: "What are you yelling about! I'm not deaf!"

While he was speaking, Ji Fengyi had already walked in.

Seeing the village chief, he bowed politely and asked, "May I come in and discuss this?"

The village chief watched his every move with an indescribably complicated expression.

This is probably not an ordinary family!

Finally, he threw down a word and turned into the house: "Come in!"

The people in the yard were unhappy: "It's so boring to talk inside. If you have anything to say, just say it openly and let everyone judge it. Maybe we can even give you a judgment!"

Ji Fengyi turned a deaf ear and walked into the house.

Ji Fengshou stayed behind and shouted at everyone: "Don't you all have the time to go home and lie down on the kang to keep warm? We are all from the same village and there is no lawsuit. We just came here to discuss something. Let's go!"

The people around were clamoring to come in, but were pushed out of the yard by Li Fengshou.

As soon as the village chief entered the house, he yelled at Aunt Yang, "Go serve tea! You're using this pestle as a stick!"

Aunt Yang curled her lips and said, "Look at how powerful you are. Can't you just say it nicely? What are you yelling for?"

She rolled her eyes and walked out, and her two daughters-in-law quickly pulled their son and daughter and followed them out, holding their breath.

"What are you looking at? Get out of here too!"

The village chief became angry when he saw his two sons and waved his hand to drive them out.

Niu Xiong was unconvinced: "There are so many of them, what if they hurt Dad? I won't go out!"

"This is our home, why should we go out or not?" Niu Hu was also dissatisfied.

The two men stood there with their necks stiffened, and the village chief felt his blood rushing up.

"It's okay! If you two brothers are worried, just stay here." Ji Fengyi spoke up to help.

He didn't even wait for the village chief to invite him, but found a seat and sat down.

Ji Mingxuan and his younger brothers stood behind their father, silently supporting Ji Fengyi.

He stared at the village chief straight to the point and said, "I hope what happened today won't happen again, otherwise I don't know if there will be more serious consequences next time."

The village chief sneered: "Just you guys?"

Ji Fengyi also laughed: "It depends on us."

The village chief was unhappy about being treated this way and threatened Ji Fengyi: "Your farmland hasn't been approved yet. It's more or less in my hands as the village chief."

Ji Fengyi calmly took out a stack of deeds and said, "The deeds for the farmland of the 32 households of the Ji family are all here."

The village chief's eyes widened.

"Although the entire Ji family was exiled here, they are all scholars."

"I was lucky enough to catch up with the county government's need for a clerk to register, and with the cordial invitation from the Minister of Revenue, I had no choice but to take the job."

Ji Fengyi's expression was indifferent, as if he was stating a fact, but the village chief felt as if he had received a huge blow.

How many days have you been here?

Just blame him?

"Being able to read is so great! How can you stand in front of a barbarian and recite to him? If you can cut him down with a knife without peeing your pants, you're a man!"

Niu Xiong said with some disdain that he just couldn't stand the way scholars were.

Ji Mingxuan raised his eyebrows: "Whether studying is good or not is not up to you or me to say. It was the emperor who once said: reading can enlighten one's reason, wisdom and heart. Do you have any objection to what the emperor said?"
