Chapter 416: Chapter 416: Returning to the City Together Chapter 416: Chapter 416: Returning to the City Together “When Xiao Shan woke up, he had already forgotten everything. It’s likely that the North-South Bridge incident was too much for him, and the possibility of being hit by hard objects at the bottom of the river contributed to his mory loss.”
Old Uncle Qiu’s family listened with their mouths agape, unable to utter a single word for a long ti.
It was quite a while before Qiu Da finally sighed and said, “Having amnesia might be for the best, after all, witnessing one’s own mother falling into the water is not a good thing.”
This kind of heart-wrenching sorrow, it was enough for him to bear alone.
Although his son no longer rembered him, it didn’t matter; he had a lifeti to accompany him, starting from now, it was not too late.
“What are your plans?” Old Uncle Qiu asked again.
“I was just thinking of discussing it with you,” Bai Junjun glanced at the dilapidated courtyard.
In typical rural houses, there’s usually a small garden reserved for growing fruits and vegetables for the family’s own consumption.
In the larger fields, whether the crop is doing well is another matter, but in these small gardens, the vegetables are definitely growing well; after all, they’re closer to the people, making it much easier to water and weed than the ones farther away.
But Old Uncle Qiu’s vegetable garden was very peculiar.
The seedlings in the garden were thin and desiccated, obviously lacking in vitality.
Compared to these vegetables, the chickens in the makeshift coop appeared robust and spirited.
Clearly, the n of the Qiu family were not adept at farming, and if they settled in this village, they would sooner or later starve to death; it would be better to seek a livelihood in the city.
“Why don’t you co back to town with us?” Bai Junjun extended an invitation.
Old Uncle Qiu’s family was sowhat apprehensive; being peasants was rare enough, and they had never considered moving to the city.
Not to ntion how difficult it was to acquire urban household registration, just determining what kind of work they would do once in the city was already a daunting challenge for them.
“There’s a job that suits you well, and right now he’s also in need of manpower, so I’m sure he’ll welco you to join.”
“???” Old Uncle Qiu’s family was baffled.
And so, the Qiu family followed Bai Junjun back to Dai County Town.
The villagers envied them greatly.
After all, to move from the countryside to the town required both silver coins and procedures.
Oftentis, it’s the procedures that are the hardest to navigate.
Otherwise, who wouldn’t want to live in the county town?
Old Uncle Qiu’s family really had good fortune; a young man from the Seven-Person Team had found a good job in the town and hadn’t forgotten to take them with him.
So it goes to show, kindness is rewarded.
The villagers promptly took the opportunity to teach their children to be kind, pointing out how Old Uncle Qiu benefited from his goodness.
At that ti, the children of the village deeply learned this lesson, which would have a profound impact on the rest of their lives.
Before leaving, Old Uncle Qiu distributed the mountain chickens to the villagers who had always taken good care of them, once again stirring feelings of gratitude and emotion among the villagers.
…
At that ti, Dai County Town was also bustling.
In the morning, the County Magistrate had the Strong Class set up a stage near the city gate to publicly announce that Black Spider had been brought to justice.
The common people were thrilled to hear it.
After all, Black Spider had an infamous reputation, and many won and children had co to the city to escape him.
These won, fearing the Bandits’ abduction of young girls, spent every day in fear and even had to seek refuge in the safety of the town, not daring to go back to their hos.
Now that they had heard Black Spider’s hideout had been taken down, they were all happily packing, ready to return ho.
In contrast to the jubilant common people outside, the County Magistrate was faced with a new dilemma at that mont.
