Chapter 208: Surprise and Joy
Dalin nodded. "What a coincidence! At that time, Hengzhou was ravaged by an epidemic. We had planned to avoid it if we passed by, but we ended up being robbed outside Hengzhou City."
The expression on his face was extremely complicated. They were a security company, but they were robbed by a family of ordinary people.
"Every one of them was a big, strong man with a fierce aura. They fought for several rounds with us, who had real kung fu skills. But as soon as we defeated them, I just raised my hand and the leader of the other team knelt on the ground, hugged my thigh and cried bitterly."
"They said they had left their hometown to look for their relatives, but all their money and property had been stolen, so they had no choice but to rob others."
"The head of the family is Zhou Yidao, and the woman is Zhou Liushi. They also have four sons, daughters-in-law, and twelve grandchildren."
Ji Changying was stunned and couldn't believe it for a moment.
Her grandfather’s name is Zhou Yidao!
But why did he suddenly go to Hengzhou? And become a bandit?
"What happened next?" Ji Changying asked anxiously.
"Then I saw that they were being sincere, so after asking about the situation, I discovered that their address was the same as yours, and even their name was the same, so I asked a few more questions."
"Turns out they are the recipients! Isn't that a coincidence?"
Dalin looked at Ji Changying with complicated eyes.
This girl looks small and well-behaved, but I didn't expect that she has such a relative. It really shows that you can't judge a book by its cover.
"That's my grandma's family. How are they now? Did they receive anything? Any messages or letters?"
Ji Changying was really anxious.
No one knew what had happened at my grandmother's house. The ancients had a deep sense of family, and generally, the whole family would not move unless there was a major change.
What's more, they have reached the point of becoming bandits, and no one knows what has happened!
A flicker of embarrassment crossed Dalin's face. He paused and explained, "Well, I don't know the details, but they heard about your situation and saw the letter, and they insisted on following us, saying they were visiting relatives. They were thick-skinned and flexible, so I couldn't drive them away, so I... brought them back with me."
It was quite a coincidence that the young boss had assigned the trip to the south to people from other branches, so we were able to turn around and come back, otherwise it would have been really difficult.
When Ji Changying heard that her grandmother and her family had arrived, a look of joy immediately appeared on her face: "Where are they?!"
Seeing the expression on her face, Dalin finally felt relieved. He was also worried that he would bring trouble back to the guests that would be difficult to deal with.
Hearing this, he quickly said, "They are waiting for news at the escort agency right now."
Ji Changying stood up suddenly: "Wait a moment, I'll go call my dad to pick them up!"
She pushed the kettle to Dalin's side and ran towards the dry land at the foot of the mountain.
Ji Fengshou and Ji Shilin have been turning the land over there these days.
Ji Fengshou was sweating profusely from working. He had just poured a bowl of water to quench his thirst when he saw Ji Changying running towards him like the wind: "Dad! Great news! My grandpa and his family are here, right in our county town!"
"puff--"
Ji Fengshou spat out all the water in his mouth.
His knees went weak and he almost fell to the ground: "What did you say? Your grandpa??!!"
Ji Shilin and the others also had an expression of 'you're crazy' on their faces.
Ji Changying grabbed Ji Fengshou and said, "It's really my grandfather's family. Don't just stand there. Go back and get the carriage to pick them up!"
"No, your grandfather's family is in Qingzhou! It's a million miles away from here, how could they be in the county town? Are you mistaken?"
"That's right! The escort agency I delivered the letter to last time said that the person is waiting at the escort agency now! You'll know if it's there when you go and see it. Let's go!"
Ji Changying pulled Ji Fengshou home without saying a word.
Ji Fengshou's face was filled with shock and disbelief. With trembling hands, he harnessed the carriage and pulled Dalin to the escort agency.
He asked several times about the whole process along the way.
After hearing the description, he felt that it was possible, perhaps, and probably that it was really his father-in-law's family.
When Ji Fengshou thought of his four brothers-in-law and father-in-law, he felt a toothache.
Suddenly, there are five more mountains on my head. Just thinking about it makes me feel like my life is soaked in bitter herbs...
When they arrived at the escort agency, a doorman immediately came forward to lead the horses. The three of them jumped out of the carriage and ran straight into the escort agency.
Zhou Yidao and his men were currently sitting in the backyard of the escort agency, feeling uneasy.
The younger children were playing around with wooden swords and sticks, while the older ones were sitting there quietly listening to their elders.
"It doesn't look much better here than ours. I wonder what life is like for my sister here!"
"Thinking of a good life in exile? That's just dreaming! I don't know if the little belongings we've prepared are enough to smooth things over and help the girls get out and settle down."
"It's no big deal! If it's really not enough, we can just go to the mountains for a few more days, right? I heard that building the city wall is really hard work. I can't stand watching my sister do that. No matter how strong she is, she can't stand being ordered around like that!"
"Then...what should we do then?"
The four sons of the Zhou family sat together to discuss what to do when they met their sister's family.
They had inquired along the way and found out that the exiles were doing the hardest, most tiring and most terrible work.
How can this be possible?!
Several daughters-in-law, each holding their own children, whispered suggestions: "I see there is a lot of land here, why don't we just settle down here? What do we have to do with the people in the mountains?"
Zhou Yidao was filled with sorrow. He squatted on the threshold, took off his shoes, and dumped the stones inside. "There's no rush for our business. Let's wait until your sister and the others are better off."
Zhou Liushi shifted her thoughts and said, "I just don't know when the escort agency will be able to bring the news here."
As he was speaking, he heard footsteps.
"Dad! Mom!"
As soon as Ji Fengshou saw his father-in-law, he immediately became emotional and his eyes were filled with tears. He called out affectionately, and a group of people quickly surrounded him.
"Brother-in-law! Ah Ying! Why are you here? Where's Yue Niang? Where's Xiao Chuan?"
The people of the Zhou family were surprised and happy. They saw the father and daughter looking behind them, but didn't see the figure they wanted to see, and became a little anxious.
Ji Changying glanced at his grandfather and four uncles, and they were indeed more robust than each other.
Especially my grandfather, who is of medium height, strong and sturdy, with a slightly rugged facial skin and a stern look that is very scary.
All my uncles inherited my grandfather's body shape and they are even more prominent.
Their average height is about 1.8 meters, with fierce eyes. They stand there like a small mountain, and a glare from their eyes is enough to scare a child to tears.
After calling everyone one by one, Ji Changying finally started to explain: "My mother is fine! She's in the military camp and won't be out for the time being. You'll be able to see her when you return tonight. How are you guys? Are you tired?"
Hearing about the military camp, several people hurriedly asked what was going on.
Ji Fengshou shouted happily: "Everyone go home! Go home first!"
