Chapter 297 Give Me a Reason
"Xiao Zhu, wake up!" Da Zhu immediately stepped forward to wake him up, "Where are the others?"
Xiao Zhu was so cold that he kept sneezing. After he woke up, he looked around with a confused look on his face.
"Didn't we agree to wait here?"
Dazhu was anxious: "Wait for me, don't go anywhere!"
After saying that, he ran out to find someone.
But half an hour later, he came back with a depressed look on his face.
Xiao Zhu quickly asked, "Brother, have you found Uncle Qi and the others?"
Dazhu shook his head: "I heard that they ran away in the middle of the night!"
Xiao Zhu was amazed: "We clearly agreed to travel together today, how could he just leave without saying a word?"
Dazhu didn't understand either. He had found a chance for the villagers to survive, but those people abandoned them and ran away.
"Brother, let's chase him quickly!" Xiao Zhu was afraid of Hantian's movement. If he had no companions and no food, he would have no chance to collect the bodies!
Dazhu shook his head: "Let's not chase them anymore, let's stay in Guancheng!"
Then he told everything he had just asked without missing a single detail.
The Ming family was recruiting workers, paying 30 cents a day. As long as they worked every day, they could have enough food and clothes, and they could also save money. It was such a good opportunity, but those people left.
What a pity!
Xiao Zhu didn't believe it at first, until he followed his elder brother to stand in line to sign up, and then followed the manager to a large farm, where he saw people working, and then he gradually began to believe it.
Some villagers who were already on their way were reluctant to leave. They said, "Uncle Qi, Dazhu and Xiaozhu are just two children. Are we just going to abandon them and go away like this?"
Although he didn't say it, his expression already revealed the word "immoral".
The middle-aged man called Uncle Qi said coldly: "If you miss them, just go back!"
After these words were spoken, some villagers who still missed the two brothers did not dare to speak.
The food they brought with them was limited, and the city was also hit by a disaster this time. Going back would mean death!
The group of people continued on their journey, while the two brothers Dazhu and Xiaozhu, who they thought would not live long, had already started eating their hot meals after a day's work.
Finally, he burped.
"Brother, the Ming family is such a good family!" Xiao Zhu couldn't help but sigh.
Dazhu nodded. He also thought that many people would die in Guancheng this time. He didn't expect that although some houses collapsed and the people were homeless, the government arranged accommodation for them, and the Ming family also paid some money.
Now the Ming family is a well-known philanthropist in Guancheng!
"Let's work hard here. I heard that if we want to stay in Guancheng, the Ming family will hire us for a long time!" Dazhu told the news he had heard.
Xiao Zhu was moved: "Then we stay!"
Anyway, the village was blown away, the hometown was hit by the disaster, and no one cared. The two brothers had no relatives or friends, and as long as they were together, there would be hope for the future.
Dazhu was confused: "I'm just worried about those villagers. What if they can't survive in the capital city?"
If you run away during the New Year, I guess no town will welcome you.
Xiao Zhu said angrily: "Brother, you are still thinking about them. They have abandoned us and run away. Why do you care about what they do!"
If his eldest brother had not returned safely, he would definitely not have survived this winter alone.
The two brothers lived on the farm like this, and there were many people like them.
After a month, the population of Guancheng increased rapidly, approaching the 4,000 mark.
Population is also an important part of the assessment of officials. Prefect Wang has been very happy these days because he got an excellent grade when he presented the memorial about the year's Guancheng to Prince Huai's Palace.
"Are you happy now?" Mrs. Wang couldn't help but tease, "Who doesn't want to give those refugees a place to stay?"
Magistrate Wang smiled on his chubby face. "Well, let me be honest, I just don't have the foresight that Madam Zhu has!"
Mrs. Wang laughed and scolded a few times, "Let's get back to business. Do you have any plans for Qin'er and Le Xuan's marriage?"
Magistrate Wang felt guilty for a moment: "Madam, you also know that there are many things to do in Guancheng. I..."
"Alright, stop giving me those polite words!" Madam Wang waved her hand, then raised the corner of her mouth: "What do you think about marrying into the Luo family?"
"No!" Magistrate Wang replied immediately. Seeing his wife about to lose her temper, he quickly explained, "Of course, the Luo family and I are on the same page, but if we openly side with each other, and the court finds out, do you know what the consequences will be?"
"At the very least, I will be transferred away from the city, and at the worst..." He did not say the rest of the words, but his serious and decisive attitude made Mrs. Wang realize that her proposal was indeed inappropriate.
"I just think that Sister Zhu's second son is very outstanding, it's just a pity..." Mrs. Wang said indignantly, "I just think that General Luo must have been framed and wronged!"
"Shut up!" Magistrate Wang's face changed. "Are you trying to kill yourself?!"
Mrs. Wang: "Alright, I know the seriousness of the matter. I'll just say a few words in front of you. Perhaps the emperor's health is not good, because he has done too many evil things!"
"You still have something to say?" Magistrate Wang was almost mad at his careless wife.
While they were worrying about their children, Luo Tingshan was also thinking about his children.
Luo Huai was not worried at all. He was very opinionated about marriage and had already said that he would not get married in the next few years.
Luo Xiao is focused on his business and has no intention of getting married.
My only daughter was a little worried.
Ever since she knew that she was not a daughter of the Luo family, she has become a little cautious. It is said that she has not left the house for some time.
The Wang family had also been suppressed, and Wang Yaozhi didn't dare to disturb Xiaofu again.
But if he continued to hold it in like this, he was afraid that the child would be harmed.
Thinking of the young man he met some time ago, Luo Tingshan really loved talents, so he immediately asked Luo Huai to bring the young man over again when he had time.
Luo Huai had no doubt about his father's intentions, and took Han Jing to his father's house the next day.
Han Jing has also learned a lot of military knowledge from Luo Huai these days, and even received guidance from Luo Tingshan three times.
And the day before yesterday, when the two of them were simulating a war on the sand table, he defeated Luo Huai once!
This was a huge blow to Luo Huai. He had studied military tactics for so many years, but he was still not as good as a young man who had just learned the art for half a year!
Han Jing was reading a military book next door, and Luo Tingshan told Luo Huai about his plan.
"no!"
Luo Huai immediately objected!
His expression was intense, as if he was saying, "If you dare to promote this, I will break it up."
Luo Tingshan narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Reason"
"I just think they..." Luo Huai paused, "They're not a match!"
Luo Tingshan tapped his fingers, glancing at the table. "The Luo family is just an ordinary family now. To put it nicely, they've made some money. Han Jing may be an orphan, but he's a young talent. He might be successful in the future. How can they not be a good match?"
Luo Huai pursed his lips and said helplessly: "I just think Xiao Fu...is not worthy of Han Jing!"
Luo Tingshan: ???
