Dumbfounded that she could still recognize him, he quickly and enthusiastically responded to her.
"Hello, village chief, it's me, I'm back."
The village chief patted him on the shoulder excitedly and quickly pulled him into the house.
"That's good, it's good to be back! Are you cold? Come inside and warm up. Where's the blacksmith? Why didn't he come back with you?"
Daidai didn't know how to answer; he didn't want the villagers to...
The news of the blacksmith's death was especially known to the village chief.
She was kind-hearted to begin with, and if she knew the child she had watched grow up...
He died outside, and his body was never found.
She was sure she would be too upset to sleep, Qin Luo noticed his distress.
He stepped forward and grabbed the village chief's hand
"Hello, village chief. I am Xiao Ji's adopted sister. The blacksmith is doing very well now. He has gone to another country to do business and I heard he's about to become a father!"
This wasn't the first time Daidai had heard her make up lies, but each time it truly shocked him to this extent.
"Oh, good, good, I'm relieved that these children are doing well. You have no idea, back then, their two families were victims of bullies..."
The village chief recounted the hardships of the Daidai and the blacksmith's families to Qin Luo from beginning to end.
Qin Luo, unperturbed, handed the gift to the village chief.
He sat quietly to the side, listening intently, and occasionally even played the straight man in a joke.
The village chief liked her so much that he wished he could adopt her as his goddaughter on the spot.
But after seeing the four little brats running in from outside, looking for Qin Luo...
He changed his mind instantly.
"These are all your little sisters? Come, come to Grandma, Grandma has some candy, I'll go get it for you right away!"
Saying that, she turned and ran into the bedroom. Qin Luo looked at the four little ones speechlessly.
"Didn't I tell you to wait in the car? Why did you all run down? Where's Qin Jia? What's wrong with him?"
Wu Hua lowered his head guiltily; Qin Luo knew this was a sign he had done something wrong.
He then pointed to the pineapple
"Good children don't lie, or their noses will grow long."
Pineapple quickly covered her little nose and glanced at Wu Hua with a guilty look in her eyes.
Then they readily sold him.
"My uncle said the water here is sweet, and we wanted to come down and try it, but Qin Jia wouldn't let us. So my uncle had my aunt tie him up..."
Qin Luo hadn't expected that vines were involved, and she immediately turned her gaze to the vine.
She was hanging her head, her head lower than Wu Hua's.
Looking at their cuddly little faces, Qin Luo couldn't bear to punish them.
It was just a verbal criticism.
“You guys should be nicer to Xiao Jia. He wasn’t exactly a good guy before, but now he’s even sent his girlfriend back to the demon realm as an inside agent for us. We can’t keep bullying him, you know?”
The four little ones raised their hands high and made promises to her.
From now on, I will treat Qin Jia as family and will never bully him again.
Then she happily drank the sugar water and ate the candy.
No one thought of letting Qin Jia go.
Qin Jia: Children's words are indeed unreliable!
Just when the village chief was planning to adopt the four little ones as his granddaughters
Qin Luo interrupted her at the opportune moment.
"Village chief, we actually have another important matter to discuss with you. We need your help."
The village chief was a straightforward person; he agreed without even asking what it was about.
"Hey, we're all family, why be so polite? What can I do to help? Just tell me."
Qin Luo then told him about the plan to rebuild the ancestral home of the Daidai family.
He also said that his family's ancestral graves would be repaired at the same time.
The village chief was delighted to hear this; the village children were returning!
Everyone needs a place to settle down, and his ancestral home was located in an area surrounded by mountains and rivers.
If the blacksmith hadn't offended the bully, that piece of land might have become a geomantically auspicious site.
Furthermore, repairing ancestral graves is something that filial sons and virtuous grandsons should do.
Who knows, maybe this child's brain is healthy; it's all thanks to his family's blessings from heaven.
"You can rest assured that I will handle this matter perfectly. Should we repair it as it was originally, or do you need to provide me with new blueprints?"
After thinking about it for a while, he decided to repair it as it was originally.
"Just keep it the same as before. I wonder how much it would cost to repair it?"
Upon hearing this, the village chief immediately took out his abacus and began to calculate.
"Rebuilding your original house will cost about fifty taels, and repairing the ancestral graves will cost about seven or eight taels."
After she finished calculating, Qin Luo took out four fifty-tael silver ingots from her cloth bag.
"Village chief, repair the houses a little better. As for the ancestral graves, repair the blacksmith's graves as well. He's still far away and probably won't be able to come back..."
The village chief, seeing the silver, quickly pushed two ingots back.
"Girl, you don't need that much. Everyone in the village is a fellow villager. They'll come and help without asking for money."
Before Qin Luo could speak, Dai Dai stuffed the silver into the village chief's arms.
“Grandma Village Chief, I’ve earned money now and even got a good job in the city. We can’t let the aunties and grandmas help us for nothing. We can’t let them pay us a penny less!”
The village chief returned the silver ingot.
“Even if it’s just for wages, this hundred taels is enough. I know you have money now, but you can’t squander it. You have to save it for your future wife and children.”
On the issue of money, Daidai was absolutely unyielding.
"If there's any left over, please save it for me. And from time to time, ask an aunt to clean my house. I won't be back for long, and the house can't be left unattended."
The village chief said there was no need to hire any aunties; she could take care of it herself in no time.
