Although he appeared calm and collected on the surface, Yun Dazheng was actually feeling very complicated. He didn't even know what he was feeling at that moment.
I felt a mix of relief, heartache, joy, and disappointment.
The fact that they came in such a grand manner, even if they were sent by His Majesty the King, would attract the attention of those with ulterior motives. Judging from what Du'er had said before, they were definitely prepared to take Du'er home.
Since the granddaughter is someone else's own daughter, it's only right that she goes back to her own home; it was bound to happen sooner or later.
Yun Dazheng had already prepared himself mentally and was aware of the situation.
But... when that day finally came, he found it a little hard to accept.
It's like having your precious treasure snatched away from you.
But at the same time, Yun Dazheng couldn't help but feel relieved. Thank goodness, thank goodness Duo'er's father held a high position; anyone appointed by the king must be a capable person. Capable, powerful, and able to protect his Duo'er.
He had initially thought that as farmers, they had never intended to harm or hurt anyone, had no grudges against anyone, and with the county magistrate and Leopard as their backers, their safety was guaranteed. Moreover, they weren't short of money; while not extremely wealthy, they were certainly well-off. Their lives were, by all accounts, quite comfortable, much better than the situation where someone was waiting to harm Duo'er's family if she went back.
Little did he know that by harvesting just a few hundred extra kilograms of rice, he had even provoked the foreign devils, who tried to coerce and entice him. Although he was a farmer, he could still see that the foreign devils were determined to get what they wanted.
There are so many foreigners in this world, and quite a few of them live in China. They earn money from the hard-earned blood and sweat of the Chinese, yet they look down on the Chinese from the bottom of their hearts. They even try to bring anything of value into their own "home" without any shame.
Right now, only James is here, mostly because Xiao Desheng only went to James's place. Once the news spreads, who knows if others will swarm like flies to the smell of fish?
This old man, who has lived most of his life, is not only incapable of protecting his own grain, but he might not even be able to protect his wife and granddaughter.
While he could hand over the grain to ensure temporary safety, he couldn't bring himself to give his prized possession to foreigners. Even if he could, he could only give it to one of them. After all, judging from James's demeanor, he wanted to have the rice all to himself.
If James does this, wouldn't other people who want to take advantage of their family's grain do the same?
impossible!
So, he gave it to one family, but couldn't give it to the others. Ultimately, he couldn't satisfy those greedy people; who knows if they would vent their frustration on that family?
Now things are much better.
Yunduo's biological father has arrived.
Although in China today, many foreigners do not respect Chinese people, and even Chinese officials do not respect them.
But that depends on what kind of official they are.
Yunduo's father is clearly a high-ranking official, someone close to the king. How could he be lowly?
He will definitely protect his daughter!
Yun Da was thinking this.
Of course, the main reason was to convince myself.
