Chapter 2069 Complaint
"You better be polite when you speak. If you are rude to the general, I don't care if you are from the same hometown as me. If you go too far, I will inform your county magistrate to arrest you!"
The Ding family was startled and then they calmed down a little.
Ding Jinshan's grandfather was still unhappy, and said to Xiaoqi: "I know you are very capable, Xiaoqi, but Jinshan is from the same hometown as you, why can't you help him? You are a general, so at least let him be a small general! We are from the same village, why don't you get close to him at all..."
Ding Jinshan's family members were all angry and aggrieved.
"That's right! These fellow villagers should be considered as our own people, right? They don't even take care of their own people!"
"You promised to take care of our family when we went into the mountains."
"You are a general now, why can't you bring him back? It's just a matter of words."
"...In the final analysis, it's because they've become so developed that they don't consider us fellow villagers as their own anymore."
Xiao Qi frowned and said coldly, "There are rules for military affairs. It's not as simple as you think. Ding Jinshan is not under my jurisdiction. Besides, he is an ordinary soldier and it is impossible for him to go back to his hometown to visit his relatives. For the sake of our fellow villagers, I can only explain this to you. Don't worry, Ding Jinshan will be able to come back safely in a few years."
Qin Yuanshan threatened and scolded again. Although the Ding family was still not convinced, they were frightened.
The people should not fight against the officials. They may not be afraid of Xiaoqi, whom they have watched grow up, but they will still be afraid if Qin Yuanshan frowns and scolds them.
Ding Jinshan's mother asked again, what kind of official can Ding Jinshan be when he comes back in a few years?
She felt that Xiaoqi and Ding Jinshan applied for the job together. Since Xiaoqi could become an official, her son could certainly become one too. Otherwise, it would be too unfair, right?
Xiao Qi was speechless. Yuan Mi sneered, "It depends on how capable he is! How much merit he has made! You really think the military camp is too simple! Who told you that you can definitely become an official?"
Yuan Mi became impatient and started to retort and threaten them. The Ding family then left angrily without saying anything more.
Fang was also very angry. She pulled Xiao Qi to comfort him, "Ignore those people. They know nothing and are just talking nonsense! The more ignorant they are, the more angry they are with their words! You finally came back. Ignore them..."
This was also because Fang was happy to see her son return, and she was generous and didn't bother to argue with them, otherwise she would not have let them go so easily.
The Ding family is ridiculous, what are they talking about!
Xiaoqi and Ding Jinshan applied for the recruitment together. Xiaoqi is younger than him, so why should Xiaoqi take care of him?
Xiaoqi has no such obligation.
How well he does depends entirely on his own abilities!
Xiao Qi never thought of asking him to take care of her.
Qin Yuanshan and Yuan Mi thought to themselves, no wonder after General Feng and his men found out that Xiao Qi was General Zhao's disciple, they immediately investigated Ding Jinshan. After finding out what kind of person he was, they decisively transferred him far away to another military camp to prevent Xiao Qi from having any contact with him again.
If such a person gets involved with Xiaoqi, it will only bring trouble to Xiaoqi!
Xiao Qi stayed at home for several days. The elders of the Shao family and the head of the village were very happy. They even opened the ancestral hall and took Xiao Qi to offer sacrifices to the ancestors.
Ding Jinshan's family was also severely reprimanded by the patriarch.
How outrageous!
