Chapter 258: Like bacon waiting to dry
They look almost the same...
Thinking about the fact that his grandfather was illiterate, Ji Changying felt as if he could understand.
"Dad, come and see!" Ji Changying pointed to the words on the jade pendant and showed it to Ji Fengshou.
He squinted his eyes and took a closer look: "So it's this Yue."
He put away the jade pendant and carefully put it in his arms.
Zhou Yidao turned to look at Ji Changying: "No matter what your mother's background is, we have already done it, so say whatever you want to say and don't hide it. We are now grasshoppers on the same rope."
Ji Changying looked around at the expressions on their faces.
Several uncles stared at her closely, waiting for what would happen next. The expressions on grandma and grandpa's faces became much more solemn.
My parents' faces looked overly calm.
Especially Zhou, it was just like listening to gossip, without any feeling at all.
"Then I'm telling you, you'd better sit tight, or you might fall to the ground out of shock."
After Ji Changying finished speaking, his uncles couldn't help swallowing their saliva. They nervously found a place to sit down, and then they held onto something before speaking: "I'm ready, go ahead."
Ji Changying cleared his throat and repeated what he had overheard, turning it into the information he had gotten and inferred from Mr. Huang.
Zhou Yidao and Zhou Liushi were dumbfounded.
No one could believe it.
"In the palace? Impossible! How is this possible? Even if it's my hometown, it's still four or five days away from Kyoto. How can it be so far away!"
Zhou Yidao also frowned. "The family where I found your mother looked just like an ordinary wealthy family. They didn't look like some powerful noble traveling with them. Otherwise, how could they not even have a powerful servant? And it's even more impossible that they were from the palace! Rather than saying that your mother's relatives are in the palace, I believe her family's enemies are in the palace."
"So many people died back then, and after I brought your mother home, I didn't hear a single sound around me. If I hadn't seen your mother, I would have thought it was all a dream!"
If they can destroy the body to this extent, it is more believable that the enemy is from the palace.
Ji Changying shook her head: "This is just a guess, the details are still unclear."
When I have time to see Mr. Huang, I will ask him indirectly what his junior sister does.
Zhou Yidao thought about it and realized that this was the truth. The specific situation was still unclear, but as long as the family was united, there was nothing to be afraid of!
"Are you done? Well, I'm hungry, let's eat!" Zhou touched her stomach and wanted to eat.
A smile spread across Zhou Liu's face. "Just wait, I'll bring you food right away!"
She felt very happy in her heart, thinking that raising this girl was not in vain!
Now that I know my own background, it is still the same as before.
Zhou Yidao looked at his sons with a serious face: "Although Yue Niang is not your mother's and my daughter, she grew up with you. Your mother and I raised her with great difficulty. This is all true. You must treat her as your sister in the future. If anyone dares to talk nonsense, don't blame me for beating him!"
Zhou An quickly brought his brothers to express their opinions: "What are you thinking! We only have this one sister, we can't wait to cherish her!"
"Hmph! Why did you look at me like that when you first came in?" Zhou stood up with her hands on her waist, looking at her brothers with an unhappy face.
"That's not...that's just curiosity. What's the harm in looking a few more times? It won't hurt a bit."
Zhou Ye didn't dare to speak loudly and muttered softly.
Zhou pointed at him and said, "If you look at me like that again, don't blame me for beating you up."
Zhou Ju stepped forward with a playful smile and pulled down Zhou's hand that was pointing at someone: "There are so many people here, please save some face for your brothers when you speak."
Seeing the harmonious atmosphere among his brothers, Zhou Yidao finally felt relieved and his heart lightened up: "Alright, let's eat quickly! After eating, we can do whatever we need to do!"
After saying that, he looked Ji Fengshou up and down again, calmed himself down and turned his head away: "Forget it, this guy can't beat my daughter anyway..."
He originally wanted to say that even if his daughter was not his biological daughter, she could not be bullied by him. However, when he turned his head and looked at Ji Fengshou's small body, he suddenly decided to forget it.
If there really is some conflict between the two, who knows who will bully whom!
Ji Fengshou burst into tears when he saw his father-in-law's disgusted look.
He has no status at all in his father-in-law's house!
"Dad, let's go!" Ji Changying tugged at his sleeve and called him to eat.
Ji Fengshou then retracted his expression and went to the yard to help set up a table for dinner.
Although the Zhou family had robbed people, they also distributed a lot of money to those in the shelter. In addition, there were many people in the family and the expenses were high, so they were not well off.
Even if Zhou brought her husband and children with her, it would just be an extra meat dish, which was now placed in front of the three members of the Ji family.
The rest were some stewed meat scraps, served in pots, and the staple food was two baskets of vegetable dumplings.
"My family hasn't established themselves yet, so I can only make do with this. I'll ask your sister-in-law to make you something better later."
When the food was served, Mrs. Zhou Liu was worried that Mrs. Zhou would dislike it, so she explained.
Ji Fengshou felt very uncomfortable when he watched it.
My father-in-law's family has always been better off than the Ji family. This is the first time I've seen the Zhou family eat so poorly in all the years since we got married.
He had secretly slipped money in before, but his father-in-law and mother-in-law found out and scolded him severely, so he returned the money.
Several nephews were taught not to accept any money, even if it was forced upon them.
"We don't need to buy grain seeds this year. A-Ying has a friend who brought back a lot. I'll take some and plant it later. Once this problem is solved, my family will have time to do other things."
Ji Fengshou told them this while eating.
"Yes, there are still a lot at home. Uncle will go home with us this afternoon to get some."

Grain seeds were everyone's top priority, so after dinner, the uncles couldn't wait to follow them back to Ji's house.
Seeing the grain seeds, they estimated in their minds and only took two bags.
Ji Changying didn't force it. Anyway, the grain had not been transported yet. Once there was more grain, the uncles wouldn't have to be so polite.
At noon, Mrs. Hu had a simple meal at home and then went to the fields again.
Ji Fengshou had been lazy all morning, and now he didn't dare to delay at all and ran to the fields with the grain seeds: "You are a grown woman, so you don't need to do the farm work. Remember to cook dinner at home tonight. Your mother and I will go to the fields!"
Ji Changying watched his parents leave the house, thought of the farmhands, and went to the next yard.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw these twelve people hanging upside down on the beam in the yard.
A whole row of bacon looks like it's waiting to be dried.
Their upper bodies are in a half-bent position.
A large, pitch-black dog was lying on the ground below, its tail patting the ground leisurely from time to time.
The twelve people had dark circles under their eyes, and their brains were so congested that their eyeballs were bloodshot. Several of them had blood oozing from their shoulders, and their clothes were torn and hanging on them.
"Hey, guys, what kind of show is this?"
Ji Changying leaned over to look at them one by one to see if they were still breathing, with an unconcealable look of gloating on his face.
