"Our hard-working and optimistic spirit has proven successful.
In the future, our children and grandchildren should also remember the spirit of our ancestors. So from now on, our village will use long tables."
Everyone was amazed when they heard this. They thought that they could escape from famine and inherit something, which was unique to this group of people.
"Oh, what about inheritance? You call a long table a legacy? You're indeed a refugee."
As everyone was sighing, this inappropriate remark stunned everyone who heard it.
The housekeeper also stared at Wei Hong, wanting to say something, but finally kept his mouth shut.
What's wrong with you today, Master? You're asking for trouble by denying someone like that in front of them.
The villager who was pulled over was Sanhua's father. This honest man was also angry when he heard others deny him in such a face.
However, on the way to escape the famine, this group of people had already been taught various stories told by the Wen family.
So it is clear that classes have always existed.
There is a difference between civilians and people of different classes, not to mention this group of refugees who have come here to escape famine.
Being accused like this, he was not only angry, but also more of a backbone.
Trying his best to suppress his anger, Sanhua's father smiled slightly and looked at the other person indifferently.
"Yes, a long table is not a respectable inheritance. We are not from a scholarly family, nor are we from a high social status.
All we have is diligence and hard work, and such a heritage may not be considered noble in your eyes.
But in the eyes of us farmers, this spirit is worth inheriting and teaching to our children and grandchildren.
No one from a noble family or class is born a noble. I believe they also worked hard to achieve their status step by step.
You are all lucky to be born in such a family. I envy you but I am not jealous.
Because we firmly believe that as long as our children and grandchildren can always keep our heritage in mind, they will one day be able to achieve success.
We are all born as human beings for the first time. If other people's ancestors were able to strive and succeed, why can't we and our descendants succeed too? "
Everyone stared with wide eyes, unable to believe that a person who had come here to escape famine could actually say such simple yet profound words.
Among them were several people from official families who came to seek medical consultation. After listening to the speech, they applauded and praised loudly.
"Great, great. I didn't expect such a critical village to have such profound words. We are shortsighted.
As a human being, no one is born noble. The reason we appear to have higher status than ordinary people is only because of the blessings of our ancestors.
Inheritance, some things really need to be passed down. I firmly believe that sooner or later, Linji Village will have its day. "
"We also firmly believe it."
"Great kindness."
…
For a moment, everyone clapped and cheered because of Sanhua's father's answer.
This makes Wei Hong appear to be a mean person and has no shame.
His expression changed several times, and finally he left with a wave of his sleeves. The expressions of the people who followed him changed slightly, and they all looked at the butler.
The latter made a calming gesture and followed quietly.
"How can this be possible? How can this be possible."
Although he was extremely angry, the butler did not get impatient. He followed Wei Hong with a look of panic on his face.
"Then, sir, should we still eat at their table? This bunch of ignorant and self-righteous refugees, their food must not be good. How about we?"
"No, I gave you several taels of silver, how can I not eat? I have to eat, and after eating, I have to act like this..."
Wei Hong couldn't bear this.
His status and position have risen since his daughter was sent to the palace.
After his daughter gave birth to the little prince, his status reached an unparalleled level. In this area, it is no exaggeration to say that even the highest officials would give him seven points of respect when they saw him...
But today, in such a critical village full of refugees, he was actually slapped in the face by a villager.
How could he bear this?
How could I possibly endure this!
Almost instantly, Wei Hong came up with the most direct and most lethal plan.
The steward looked at the master like this and sighed inwardly.
What can he do? He takes the master's money and eats the master's food. As a small manager, he can only obey his orders and not resist!
With a bitter face, the manager turned around and gave someone a look.
Everyone in Linji Village is very happy today, whether they are from the Women's Village, the Luo people, or the Houshan Village.
From today on, they will have only one unified title, the people of Linji Village!
"My new home isn't quite up to par yet, but it's barely habitable."
"From now on, we're neighbors, so we need to support each other. Also, we need to be vigilant and keep an eye on the outside. If anyone dares to invade us, we need to sound the alarm immediately."
"Yes, and the household items must also be cleaned and put away at all times. The traps in front of and behind the house must also be kept under constant watch."
"Yes, yes, we have to keep an eye on these."
"I heard that someone in our village has found their relatives?"
"Yes, we found him. It was all thanks to the newly released portrait of the missing family that we managed to find him. That portrait is truly amazing. My child is an average student, but he's actually quite good at drawing."
"Not really. I've only been learning for a few days, and he's already drawn several portraits of me. It really does feel a bit like that."
A group of women gathered together, all chattering about the recent family events.
The family they mentioned who had found their relatives was none other than the family of Wang Guiying who was rescued from the village.
"That's Wang Guiying's family. I heard that the whole family fled the famine, and now only Yingzi, her mother, and a younger brother are left.
It is said that other families have died or dispersed, which is also very miserable."
However, Wang Guiying, who was discussed by everyone, was not as happy as expected when she saw her relatives.
At this time, the Queen Mother's eyes were full of envy, and she looked very kind when she saw her daughter.
"Yingzi, have you told your master when we will move to this village?"
Wang Guiying was extremely conflicted, as she missed her family. However, the first thing her mother said when she saw her was, "My daughter, I'm hungry. Please give us something to eat."
The second sentence is: You have made it big, but you must remember to help your brother. Mother and Haizi are counting on you from now on.
As for any concern for her, there wasn't a single word. No one asked how she'd been doing since they'd separated, nor how she'd gotten there.
From her words and deeds, she was telling them that she wanted to take care of them. From now on, the responsibility for both her and her daughter would be hers...
