Chapter 299 Leading People Back to Lingwu Village
She's counting on those mice to find treasure; that's not a job these dogs and cats can do.
The big black cat stood up and shook its body: "I won't eat and drink for free."
Dongfang Jin laughed: "Who said you were eating and drinking for free? Didn't you say you were going to protect this city?"
My son will be studying at Anyang School in the future. If anything unusual happens in the city, you can protect them.
You all did a great job today and deserve praise.
If it weren't for you, these children would probably have already been sent out of the city.
What do you think will happen to these children once they are taken out of the city?
It will harm so many families; it might even destroy one family.
She witnessed the tragic situation of one family firsthand. The daughter-in-law of that family was shopping with her child when the child was kidnapped by human traffickers while trying on clothes.
Afterwards, the woman was not only beaten by her husband, but also divorced. She committed suicide by jumping off a building because she couldn't find her child and felt guilty.
The man not only lost his job while searching for his child, but also died in a car accident due to exhaustion during his search.
Because both he and his wife were only children, and both sets of parents were unable to withstand the heavy blows, they passed away one after another.
Hearing her praise, the big black cat stretched its neck proudly, its smug little face was incredibly cute.
"That's right, I want to be the guardian of this place from now on."
Ruyi watched all this from her spatial dimension. "Jin-jie, let's take them in from now on! Don't underestimate them; we have enough food to feed them."
[Okay, now who else are you going to support?]
I thought to myself, "Just don't turn her house into a zoo."
As one wishes……
Who can it support?
These animals lack intelligence and cannot enter the Realm of Wishes.
The beggars here already know about the Ci'an Hall in Ling'an County. Several beggars on that street said that people are already heading towards Ling'an.
[Understood. I'll tell Lu Yunqing when I get back.]
As you wish, [this way, Lu Yunqing won't have to worry about finding workers for his factory in the future.]
Dongfang Jin nodded. "That's true. It seems the factories need to speed up their progress, and there's also the issue of renovating old houses in the county. Hopefully, it can be completed before the rainy season."
Don't worry about that, Lu Yunqing is more anxious than you are.
【really. 】
When Dongfang Jin and Gu Chenglin returned home, the children were already asleep.
Looking at Aunt Hui sitting in the hall waiting for them, with her slightly red and swollen eyes, Dongfang Jin knew that she was overthinking things again.
Over the years, she has treated the three of them as her own family.
The things given to Xian'er were not much in her eyes.
Moreover, the three of them genuinely cared for their family and treated the two children like their own grandchildren.
As the saying goes, "Treat others as you would like to be treated," and "A little kindness will be exchanged for a little kindness."
Besides, Xian'er will still be my sister-in-law in the future, and we're all family, so let's not be formal.
Moreover, she genuinely wanted to keep Jun Qirui by Gu Chenglin's side, as Long Jiu and Eleven would eventually return to the Emperor's side.
Unbeknownst to Dongfang Jin, Lu Yunqing was currently waiting for their return at their home in Ling'an County.
Because the people sent by the Emperor and Empress arrived, along with Cang Lingxuan's entourage and an imperial edict bestowing marriage upon Cang Lingxuan and Jun Qixian.
The next day
After finishing breakfast and making arrangements, Dongfang Jin and Gu Chenglin, along with the farmhands and the dozen or so dogs brought by the big black dog, set off for their home in Lingwu Village.
They took a very short route, bypassing the official road to enter Ling'an County, and went directly back to Lingwu Village in their village clothes.
Along the way, Dongfang Jin witnessed firsthand what it meant to have a visually stunning experience.
Starting from the south gate of Anyang Prefecture, we traveled south along the river, passing through seven or eight villages of varying sizes along the way.
The roads in these villages are not only uneven and full of potholes, but also incredibly dirty and chaotic.
She could count the low mud-brick houses and thatched huts, and the brick and tile houses that she could afford to live in among seven or eight villages on her fingers.
This is not just about being backward; there is another serious problem: poverty!
As they passed through each village, a group of children would follow behind their convoy, standing at the village entrance until they left the village.
The children's clothes were patched upon patched, too short, too big, or tattered with holes, revealing yellowed and blackened cotton underneath.
This shock caused Dongfang Jin to nestle in Gu Chenglin's arms and silently shed tears; that feeling of helplessness overwhelmed her heart.
Gu Chenglin didn't say anything, he just held her tightly, comforting her silently.
What he was thinking about was how to appease his wife so that she would make more trips to his cousin the emperor.
Now, only he can change everything, even if it's a bit slow, but this is something that must be done by him.
My wife is right. He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world; he who loses the hearts of the people will find it hard to move an inch. The hearts of the people are like water; they can carry a boat, but they can also capsize it.
They must not touch it.
After arriving home, Gu Chenglin settled the people in, and Dongfang Jin put the dogs in the backyard.
Little Jin happened to be staying in the sycamore tree at home, where Long Jiu had carved out a small hole for it.
When Xiao Jin saw Dongfang Jin return, she excitedly jumped onto her shoulder.
He said cheerfully, "You're finally back! These past few days, there's been this old woman and this silly fat man wandering around your house."
I secretly followed them and discovered they were from the village down the mountain.
Dongfang Jin took out a bottle of water and handed it to Xiao Jin: "Want some, sir?"
Honestly, that family is really persistent and can't be ignored.
Ruyi, [How about we drug them?]
I can't be bothered with that; dealing with them is a complete waste of time.
[Ugh, a toad slapping your foot doesn't bite, but it's still annoying!]
You should watch less of those talk shows.
[Pshaw, don't you think they're hilarious? They're all just stating the obvious.]
【what ever!】
Xiao Jin took a sip of water: "Hmm, after Da Bai scared that old woman away last time, she hasn't come for a while."
Then that fat, silly man came, and then they all came together.
Sometimes that fat idiot would even throw stones into the yard. Can you believe how stupid he is?
Hey, he was over there yesterday, kicking the door and cursing all the while. I wanted to go out and beat him up.
Dongfang Jin looked at Xiao Jin pointing towards the back door and snorted coldly: "They're here today too?"
"They haven't come yet. They were here yesterday. They'll probably come tomorrow."
After saying that, he looked at the group of dogs around Dongfang Jin and asked curiously, "Jin-jie, why did you get so many silly dogs?"
Dongfang Jin looked down and saw that Dahei and the others were all looking at her and Xiao Jin.
“I brought them back from the capital city; I want them to watch over my orchard.”
Xiao Jin looked at the dogs, puzzled: "Why don't you go find those guys from Beishan instead of them?"
Dongfang Jin smiled and reached out to tap its little head: "They are relatively safe with me, and it's easy for humans to get acquainted with them."
Furthermore, as our family grows larger, they will be more easily accepted by humans, and we won't be afraid of them.
Those guys in Beishan are different; once they make a sound, they'll give themselves away and easily cause panic among humans.
You should know that people's perception of them is that they are extremely ferocious and terrifying animals that can eat people.
There's an invisible hatred between humans and those guys.
I don't want a tragedy to happen.
"From now on, they'll be in the open, and you and Big White will be in the shadows. Then I'll be safe here."
Xiao Jin said proudly, "You're right. These dogs may look a bit silly, but they're definitely safer and easier to manage than those guys in Beishan."
However, if you train them properly, you can use them to replace these silly dogs.
Those guys are way more capable than these stupid dogs!
"Hehe, we'll talk about that later. From now on, you'll be in charge of them. You can train them a bit."
