"Those who are still lying here peacefully must not want to die, otherwise they would have hanged themselves long ago."
"In this case, everyone, listen to my advice!"
"We're all on the same page right now! Regardless of any grudges we had before, we're all the same now."
"In the past, we could still distinguish between the rich and the poor, the good and the bad. But now that we've arrived in Liangzhou, who's stronger? We all have to start all over again!"
"Since ancient times, it's been difficult for a single person to support the country. Once you arrive in Liangzhou, you're all outsiders. So what if they bully you? Just go and sue them! Without someone to guide you, you wouldn't even know which way the county government gate faces!"
"Let's not talk about the distant past. Let's say our child is being bullied. When they yell, a bunch of people with the same surname stand up. Look around and see no one who's ours. Should we just cower in fear?"
"I'm not afraid to tell you an inside story. The price of grain in that county town has gone up a lot in the past few days. Do you think it's because of the location?"
"Wrong!"
"It's said that it's because of the heavy rain a while ago. There was a flood somewhere, and all the food was washed away! The price went up because of the disaster!"
"Now that we're out of the house, no matter what, we're all members of the Ji family. No matter how close or distant we are, we're all family members. We all share the same ancestors, and we're all one family."
"We're a family, so naturally we need to take care of each other to survive. In a strange place, we can only stay together and keep each other warm. Don't you agree?"
"Think about it carefully!"
As the old patriarch spoke, he glanced at some families in the capital.
It’s already this time, and you’re still fighting!
As if life isn't hard enough now!
Before, he couldn't control it and didn't want to control it, but now it's different.
If everyone doesn't work together, we will all die sooner or later!
After hearing the old patriarch's words, the crowd immediately started buzzing and discussing.
"Is this news true or false?"
"No way! I thought the grain production here was low, which is why the prices were inflated. Now, something must have gone wrong!"
"Could this old man be talking nonsense? This can't be nonsense!"
···
Some believed it and some doubted it, but without exception, everyone started to think about it.
Ji Chenyan, who had been depressed and playing badly, slowly sat up after hearing this.
Those families in the capital who felt resentful also had different expressions on their faces.
The old patriarch's words were rough but his point was true.
Ji Changying pulled Ji Changchuan and applauded enthusiastically: "Well said!"
The patriarch gave them a satisfied look.
This kid has good eyesight!
"Chief, you've eaten more salt than we've eaten rice. I do whatever you say without hesitation. We all obey you!"
"I'm convinced too!"
The people of Lotus Village quickly expressed their stance.
The old patriarch has been the patriarch for decades since he was young, which is longer than Lord Ji's time in office. The people of Lotus Village are convinced of his loyalty.
"I admit defeat too!" Ji Chenyan shook his robe, stood up and bowed.
"I've heard my father praise you before, but seeing is believing."
Ji Changying was amazed. This was the first time she saw Ji Chenyan not being rude and speaking seriously.
"I didn't expect that Lord Ji still remembered me, an old man. I don't deserve it." The patriarch said with a smile.
He had seen Ji Chenyan several times before, and he could tear people's skin off their faces and stomp them on the ground. He also spoke without any scruples, which made him dare not talk to him easily.
I didn't expect that he could speak so properly when he was serious.
With this topic in mind, the two of them naturally started chatting.
Seeing that Ji Chenyan was not arrogant, many people in Lotus Village came over to listen to them talk.
Ji Chenyan's knowledge and experience are much higher than those of the people in Lianhua Village as a whole. Ji Fengyi and others also highly recognize Ji Chenyan's knowledge and deliberately approached him to start a conversation.
Lin held the food she had exchanged from the yamen runners in her arms and handed it to Ji Ruolin and Ji Ruofeng.
Ji Ruofeng reached out to take it and stuffed it into his mouth greedily.
Ji Ruolin waved her hand away: "Dirty!"
These words shattered Lin's heart. With a pale face and expressionless face, she placed the food in front of Ji Ruolin: "If you have the guts, starve to death!"
Ji Ruolin's eyes were red, and she looked at her viciously: "It's all you who killed my father! And you still have the nerve to eat!"
After saying that, he looked at Ji Ruofeng who was stuffing food into his hand and slapped the food out of his hand: "Eat, eat, eat, you only know how to eat! Are you a pig?"
Ji Ruofeng was stunned for two seconds, then he stood up angrily, looking at the food on the ground, and pointed at Ji Ruolin and cursed: "If you dare to throw my things, I will beat you to death!"
"Hit me and try!"
"Just give it a try! Who's afraid of who?"
As they were talking, they started to fight.
Lin looked at this scene and said with a sullen face: "Stop!"
Her words fell on deaf ears and no one listened.
Lin couldn't hold back her anger any longer, so she pulled the two men apart and slapped each of them: "Is that enough?"
Ji Ruofeng looked at Lin in disbelief: "You dare to hit me?"
"I'm your mother! What's wrong with hitting you?!"
Ji Ruolin covered her face with disgust and hatred: "You fickle woman, you are not worthy of being my mother!"
"Whether you are worthy or not, you are my daughter!" Lin also became ruthless and looked at Ji Ruolin without giving in.
"You are not my mother!" Ji Ruolin yelled at her hysterically.
Ji Ruofeng also sat on the ground and threw a tantrum: "If my father were alive, you would definitely not dare to hit me! What right do you have to hit me! Shameless bitch! Smelly whore! You don't want your own son anymore now that you have a stepfather!!"
Looking at their eyes, Lin's heart grew colder.
She slapped Ji Ruofeng on the other side of his face again and shouted angrily, "I've raised you for so many years, what's wrong with hitting you? You've learned so much and nothing at all! You even insulted your own mother?!"
Ji Ruolin sneered: "With a mother like you, how can he be a good person?"
Lin's face was covered in tears: "You really are Ji Luyuan's offspring! You are just as heartless as him!"
She lay on the ground in despair, looking at the sky and crying bitterly.
Ji Ruolin turned away and sat on the ground.
Seeing the group of people across from me chatting and laughing, I felt even more jealous:
"Why are they still in the mood to joke around? Why are they still living so comfortably?"
"If you have the guts, go kill them!" Ji Ruofeng retorted to her and lowered his head to pick up the food on the ground.
Ji Ruolin glanced at the useless Ji Ruofeng with disgust, and her eyes flashed as she looked at Lin who was lying on the side.
He suppressed his emotions and went to please Lin: "Mom... I was wrong just now..."
Ji Changying didn't see the dispute here. Ji Hu had just returned with his men after digging some traps.
She was taking a group of sisters-in-law and aunts to the woods to pick wild vegetables.
