Chapter 332 Envy Disease
Lin Chang'er closed her eyes briefly and said seriously, "Yuntai County is adjacent to our Ninghai County, and those refugees are heading towards Ninghai Prefecture."
He paused, then continued, "We must inform Lord Wu about this matter so he can prepare a plan as soon as possible. Whether to appease them to register their residency or to forcibly expel them, the government should consider this carefully."
“Especially now that we are often harassed by pirates, if the pirates infiltrate the refugees, we will be even more unable to defend against them.”
Headmaster Chen stroked his beard and nodded, "What Chang girl said is quite right."
Bai Shaoan slapped his forehead. "Look at me, I completely forgot about this. If I had known, I would have gone straight to the county office to tell my third brother about it."
Lin Chang'er pursed her lips. "Even the best-laid plans can have flaws. It's not too late now, Brother Bai, there's no need to be upset."
Bai Shaoan chuckled, "Sister Chang'er is right."
Lin Chang'er added, "In a little while, Brother Bai will explain the situation of those refugees to Brother Liu in detail, so that Lord Wu can make the most accurate judgment."
Bai Shaoan nodded to indicate that he understood.
Headmaster Chen and Master Chen exchanged a glance and said, "Since Brother Liu is going to the county town, let's go back with him and look after each other on the way."
Gu Xiaolu almost instinctively said, "But Grandma is already preparing dinner!"
Lin Chang'er also said, "It's getting late, you should have dinner before you leave."
"In that case, Liu Zi will set off first, and I will have Brother A accompany you to the county town later."
As for A-Da and Liu-Zi, if they return at night, they will have company; if they don't come, Wu Qingfeng will naturally arrange accommodations for them.
Hearing her say that, Headmaster Chen could not insist any further and nodded, saying, "In that case, I will trouble you."
Lin Chang'er waved her hand, "You're welcome! I'll go prepare some food for Brother Liu's journey first. Brother Bai, please entertain him for me."
Bai Shaoan assured him confidently, "Don't worry!"
"Mom, I'll go help you!" Gu Xiaolu's big eyes turned into crescent moons.
Lin Chang'er smiled and replied, "Okay, Mother's little deer will help Mother with the chores!"
The two, one big and one small, entered the kitchen hand in hand. While the little girl wasn't paying attention, Lin Chang'er took out half a braised duck from her spatial storage, pretending that she had taken it from the cupboard.
Immediately, Gu Xiaolu took a cleaver and chopped the meat on the cutting board with a "bang bang bang". Gu Xiaolu had already laid out oil paper and was waiting for Lin Chang'er to place the meat on the oil paper.
The little girl deftly wrapped the meat with her tiny hands; this was all thanks to the experience she had gained helping Aunt Gu at the village market in the early morning.
After wrapping the things up, she looked up at Lin Chang'er and asked, "Mother, is this how it is?"
Her eyes were bright and sparkling.
Lin Chang'er nodded at her, "Our little deer is really amazing."
Then, as if by magic, he produced a duck wing from behind his back, saying, "Here's a duck wing as a reward!"
"Yay! It's Little Deer's favorite duck wings! Thank you, Mommy!"
Yes, the little girl doesn't like eating meaty duck legs; she prefers to gnaw on chicken wings, duck feet, and other things with bones.
"Eat slowly!" Lin Chang'er smiled at the little girl, then turned to Aunt Gu and said, "Mother, Brother Liu is going to the city to inform Lord Wu. Could you get me two steamed buns so I can fill his water bag?"
"Okay!" Aunt Gu said with a soft smile, taking two plump white steamed buns out of the steamer.
Gu Xiaolu hurriedly laid out oil paper on the table.
Aunt Gu placed the steamed bun on top and said gently, "Our little deer is getting more and more capable!"
With a duck wing in her mouth, Gu Xiaolu smiled at Aunt Gu and quickly wrapped up the steamed bun with her little hands!
Lin Chang'er filled the water pouch with water, and the little goldfish returned with Liu Zi.
"Girl!" Liu Zi wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Upon hearing from the little goldfish that the girl was looking for him, he rushed over without hesitation.
Lin Chang'er poured him a bowl of water and handed it to him. While he was drinking the water, she told him about Bai Shaoan's experience.
After saying that, he added, "I'll still have to trouble you to make a trip to the city and tell Lord Wu about this as soon as possible."
I packed the braised duck, steamed buns, and water pouch into a bundle. "I'll have Brother Bai take you to the village entrance. On the way, he can tell you in detail about the situation of those refugees. You won't make it to dinner, so just eat this."
Liu Zi waved his hand, "What are you saying, young lady!" What kind of employer would personally prepare food for the journey after assigning a task?
That's why he said Miss Lin treated them like family!
Lin Chang'er handed him the bundle and instructed him, "If we set off now, it will be dark by the time we reach the county town. The road at night is difficult to travel. Wait for Ah Da. I will have him take Chen Shanzhang and the others back to the county town later."
"If you're going back, you can all go back together then, and you can stay in the county town for another night!"
Liu Zi nodded, "Alright! I'll set off now! Miss, wait for my news!"
Liu Zi slung his bundle over his shoulder and turned around. Lin Chang'er then reminded him, "Be careful on the road!"
"Alright!" Liu Zi turned around and smiled, then walked towards Bai Shaoan. "Young Master Bai, please see me off!"
Bai Shaoan immediately stood up from the stone stool, said something to Chen Shanzhang and the other man, and then immediately put his arm around Liu Zi's shoulder and went out like brothers.
Aunt Gu turned her head and saw the two people's backs, and couldn't help but sigh again.
Hearing this, Lin Chang'er asked with a smile, "Mother, why are you sighing?"
Aunt Gu pursed her lips and said, "Now everyone says that our Linshui Village is doing well, and everyone is extremely envious, as if our good life just fell from the sky."
"Who would have thought that the life we have today is the result of the hard work of so many people?"
Back when they were building their family business, Chang'er naturally had her own cleverness.
But he didn't miss a single one of the real, hard jobs either.
She was the last one to go to bed at home every day, and she was also the one who went to the market early the next morning.
In the beginning, they couldn't even afford to buy an oxcart.
After that, he made some connections and his career path broadened, and he finally managed to save up some money.
Another pirate raid occurred. The Huo family, being righteous people, were fortunate that this child was truly willing to invest heavily. Of course, the support of Lord Wu was also indispensable, which led to the current scale of the coastal defense force.
As life gets better and better, everyone's enthusiasm is rising.
Patrols are conducted in three shifts, working around the clock.
Even so, nowadays, at the slightest sign of trouble, they must act immediately.
Lin Chang'er had no idea that Aunt Gu had thought so much. She just smiled and said, "Mother, you said they are just jealous. Why should we pay attention to them?"
"We've finally achieved this good life, so of course we have to work hard to keep it, right?"
"It's not worth wasting your energy on those people. Let's just ignore them. Anyway, shallow-minded people will never look for the reasons within themselves."
"Let's just live our lives, Mother. Don't worry, as long as we work hard, our good days will definitely get better and better!"
