Chapter 15 You Live with Me

The village chief actually has a headache because not everyone in the village gets along well with each other.

For example, my third uncle is a single man, although there are many others who only have one person.

For example, Ji Qingshan and Ji Qifang.

But my third uncle is old and has no hope of advancing, so he no longer has the desire to build a foundation.

Whenever I see young people all day long, I have to give them a lecture.

I'm afraid no one in the village would be willing to live with him.

It was difficult for him to make arrangements, and others didn't know how to express their ideas.

Ji Qingling pulled Susu aside and whispered something to her.

Su Su nodded her little head after being fooled by her, "Mmmmmmm..."

"Mom, can we live with Susu's family?"

Mo Sanniang didn't expect that her daughter had her own ideas on this matter. Thinking of her good relationship with Su Suniang, she agreed.

Susu has also talked to her parents about it.

Ji Qingling moved on to the next target.

"Aunt Fang, would you like to live with me and Susu's family?"

Ji Qingling tried hard to put on a cute expression, hoping that Aunt Fang would agree to her.

When Ji Qifang saw the little girl in front of him, her eyes and eyebrows curved into a smile.

In fact, she was just thinking that if she was assigned to live with someone like her Third Uncle, she would rather go out and find a place to live alone.

Now someone has invited her, and the adults from Ji Qingling and Susu's families have always had a good reputation.

"Okay, but you have to ask the village chief about it. Do you dare?"

"Why not?" Ji Qingling wished she would say this earlier.

Otherwise a little girl would be the first to come forward and say who she wants to live with.

I’m afraid the adults will still say that she is unruly.

Now that she has made an appointment, she just said loudly, "Why don't you dare?"

Everyone heard it, so they just thought she was being provoked.

"Village Chief, is it okay for my family, Susu's family, and Aunt Fang's family to live together? We have already made an appointment."

What appointment? It was obviously you, little girl, who just arranged it.

However, Ji Qingling's move also made the village chief change his mind.

There is no point in dividing it. Wouldn’t it be better if the parties with good relations could discuss it among themselves?

So that he doesn't always offend people.

For example, if you always look at someone you dislike or feel annoyed about, you should also look at your own popularity.

"Okay, it would be best if you all made an appointment."

Then he turned to the others and said, "Why not use Ling girl's method? Those who want to live together can discuss it among themselves."

Everyone thought this was a good idea, and those who had a good relationship with him also gathered together to discuss it.

"You three families were the first to be selected, so this first courtyard facing south is given to you."

Ji Linhai and the others did not refuse, and they went straight into their new home.

Ji Qingling came in and looked around. The outside looked a bit old and shabby, but he didn't expect it to be quite big inside.

The entire yard is paved with bluestone slabs and is clean and tidy.

Several families were casual, each choosing a house and then leaving.

As I was cleaning up, I heard the village chief calling people in the yard.

"Shangwu, Linhai, Qifang, one of your family members should come out."

Ji Linhai left the house and came back after a while.

The expression on his face is hard to describe.

"Dad, what does the village chief want to talk to you about?" Ji Qingling had a bad feeling.

"The village chief said that we need to arrange for another family to live in our courtyard, and that we want to move Ji Mingying and her daughter in."

"Ah! Crybaby?"

Ji Qingyuan felt a headache when he heard the five words "Ji Mingying and her daughter".

Mo Sanniang glared at him, "Don't shout."

Ji Mingying and his wife were originally from the same tribe who had lived in Xiaowang Mountain for generations.

But her husband died a few years ago, leaving her and a daughter, Ji Yuxiu.

Ji Yuxiu is one year older than Ji Qingling, and you couldn't tell anything when she was young.

But now she is getting more and more spoiled as she grows up, and she always cries and complains that other children bully her.

Her mother regarded her as her life and would go to other people's homes to argue without any reason.

Since they are all from the same tribe, it is not easy for the other party to attack Ji Mingying, but he is really annoyed by her noise.

He had no choice but to give his own child a good beating before he gave up.

Ji Linhai also knew the personalities of the mother and daughter, and they were indeed a bit difficult to deal with.

"Why did we get assigned here? Is there no one else willing to come?"

"Everyone has already divided it up, and in the end, only Third Uncle and her family are left and no one is willing to keep it."

Well, Third Uncle is also quite scary. He really spares no effort and talks endlessly when he scolds people.

"So the village chief asked us to choose, and the three of us chose Mingying and her daughter."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Ji Qingling was very curious about where his third uncle lived.

"Uncle San lives in the same yard with the village chief and Qingshan."

Well, it is only through comparison that we discover the beauty of life.

They felt that the crybaby mother and daughter were not that bad.

In this way, Ji Qingling's family's days in Tongcheng began.

Ji family meeting hall.

This time the atmosphere in the room was no longer as gloomy and depressing as before.

The clan leader also had a look of joy on his face.

This is the result of everyone's discussion just now.

All the members of the Ji family who came from Xiaowangshan were arranged to work in the family’s other industry, the black crystal mine, to mine.

Recently, the Ji family discovered more black crystal ore in the bottom layer deep in the mine.

This gave new hope to the elders who had thought that the Ji family would go downhill due to the destruction of the red pearl tree.

But this matter must be kept secret, otherwise it will attract the covetousness of other families.

But it requires monks to enter the mine.

So the patriarch finally remembered the group of people in Xiaowangshan.

The second elder looked at the patriarch with a happy face and began to feel unhappy.

“I’m afraid this arrangement by the tribe leader is not appropriate. The tribe members who are mining now have to work for a month and come back to rest for a month.

Why do the tribesmen from Xiaowang Mountain have to work in the mine for three months before they can come back to rest for one month?

If the clan leader treats things unfairly, it will probably lead to dissatisfaction among the clan members."

"Who are the tribesmen that the Second Elder is talking about?"

…

Naturally, no tribesman was dissatisfied. Except for the people from Xiaowangshan, everyone else was a beneficiary. How could they have any objection?

The second elder actually didn’t care much about the people from Xiaowangshan. He just wanted to contradict the head of the Ji family.

The head of the Ji family continued, "Second Elder, you also know how many people are needed now. I'm afraid that replacing them in one month is not enough. Do you really want the younger generations of the elders to mine together?"

The second elder kept silent. As his own interests were involved, he was certainly not foolish enough to send his descendants out to mine.

"Why can't the elders' descendants go mining?"

A loud voice came from outside the door.

Everyone was delighted when they heard this, "Great Elder!"

"The Great Elder has come out of seclusion?" The head of the Ji family has stood up to greet him.

Seeing the arrival of the people, everyone saluted, Yuanying cultivator! "Great elder, you have finally broken through to the Yuanying stage!"

The eldest elder of the Ji family has arrived in the meeting hall.

"Fortunately, I came out of retreat today. Clan leader, do you still remember the Ji family's ancestral precepts?"

When the head of the Ji family saw that the eldest elder's tone was not right, he quickly put away the smile on his face.

"All of my people are of the same origin, and all of my bloodlines have the same source. We all have one ancestor. Disharmony among the clan is disrespectful to our ancestors. All of my people must not harm or deceive each other, which would damage our vitality. All of my people must treat each other with sincerity, help them in need, and sympathize with them in their difficulties. We must not bully others by relying on our strength."

The ancestral precepts in the article are one of my favorites that I saw online. Thank you, Mr. Li who lived here more than 700 years ago.
