Chapter 967: Resettling the Old Military Master [4]

"Get up. You don't need to thank my family. There are only two people you should thank." Qin Xiaomi looked at them and said, "One is your late father, because he left you with your armor and household registration. The other is you, because you fought for your current life."

The Luo sisters and their five daughters were stunned when they heard this, and their tears flowed even more violently.

Sister Luo sighed, "Before my father died, he said that for fifteen years after his death, we shouldn't go to the government office to cancel our household registration. We had to continue paying the money to keep our Luo family registered. No matter how poor we were, we had to pay the money... Now I finally understand my father's painstaking efforts."

The Wei government is poor, so if a family has no descendants, the daughter can pay to keep her natal family registered, but she can only keep the household registration. If your daughter does not have the ability, the land and house will be taken away by the clan soon.

Without this household registration from their mother's family, even if the sisters had military medals, they would not be able to escape from their husband's family and settle down elsewhere.

Qin Xiaomi said, "If you remember your father's kindness, after you have established yourself, you can let your daughters change their surnames to Luo and carry on the family line. It will be like you sisters marrying into the family and now you have divorced your husbands."

Ah this?

Master Han, Master Lu's son, and Shen Du were choked when they heard this... Boss Qin, if the husbands of the Luo sisters heard what you said, wouldn't they die on the spot?

Qin Xiaomi said that if this were true, it would be a happy event.

"We have to thank the Qin family too. If they hadn't been willing to take us in, we would have been sent back to our hometown even if we came here." Old Lady Du held her seven-year-old grandson's hand and bowed to the Qin family to express her gratitude. Her heart was finally at ease.

From the way Mrs. Qin treats the Luo sisters, we can tell that she is a person who protects the weak. Even if she dies, the Qin family will help take care of her grandson, so that he can grow up.

Qin Xiaomi glanced at the Du family's grandparents and grandchildren, said nothing, and only looked at Uncle Qin.

Dangdang Dangdang!

Uncle Qin banged the gong and shouted, "Line up and go to the outer kitchen inside the main entrance of the herbal medicine shop to get your meals. They'll only provide you with food for three days. On the fourth day, you'll have to cook your own meals."

"Regarding matters like where to buy daily necessities and interviews for jobs, someone will come to you at the beginning of the Si hour tomorrow and tell you that you will only do two things today: eat and rest."

"After dinner, a doctor will come to check your pulses and give you medicine."

They only had minor ailments like overwork, colds, fevers, and intestinal congestion; they had no serious illnesses or infectious diseases. What kind of person was County Magistrate Kang? He had already sent Doctor Kang to examine them when they were brought into the county. Anyone with an infectious disease was forbidden from entering the county.

"Thank you, Qin family. Thank you, Qin family!" The old soldier didn't know what to say and just kept thanking them.

Grandpa Qin was not happy at all when he saw this, but felt sad... When he was young, even if he was forced to retire due to implicated people, the prosperity of Wei was right in front of him. He and Grandma Qin didn't think at all about what would happen if they lost the position of centurion.

They believed that their lives would get better and better if they returned to the countryside.

But after all, they were too young and had shallow thoughts.

Dangdang Dangdang!

"There are baskets. After you get the food, you can put it in the baskets and carry it back to your temporary residence to eat with your family!" Xu Zhengmao shouted, and together with his wife Tao and son Xu Shanshan, they served food to the old soldiers.

"Oh, that's too much. Just give me a bowl of porridge and a multi-grain steamed bun!"

"Why are there still slices of meat here? No, no, we haven't done any work, how can we eat meat? Quickly put all the meat slices back into the vegetable bowl!"

"Don't take it back. This is for you. The folks who came for the interview yesterday had the same meal." Tao tried to persuade them and brought up the Qin family as an example, so that they didn't take the meat back.

"Why are you giving my family a bowl of steamed egg and rice porridge? These are precious foods, my family can't have them!" said Mr. and Mrs. Lou, the old general of Tianmang Mansion, pushing the special food back.

Mrs. Tao said, "This is for your six-month-old grandson. He's too young and needs to eat delicate food."

General Lou's family used to be a military household. Now only four people are left in the family: the old couple, their twelve-year-old granddaughter, their six-month-old grandson, their son and daughter-in-law.

The daughter-in-law died of complications during childbirth.

His son was an auxiliary soldier of Tianmang Mansion and died in the camp. As a result, General Lou's family was able to leave Tianmang Mansion and move to other places.

If his son were still alive, his family would still be military households, and would have to stay in Tianmang Mansion and fight for the country, and would not be allowed to move.

After their son's death, General Lou and his wife were afraid that the Eastern Desert would attack and they would not be able to keep any seedlings. So they took advantage of the privilege gained by their son's death and moved with the only two seedlings left in their home.

"Thank you so much, thank you so much!" Mr. and Mrs. Lou, as well as their granddaughter, bowed and expressed their gratitude with tears in their eyes, while the little grandson cried loudly due to hunger.

The two elders hurriedly took the boy to their side to comfort him and fed him half a bowl of steamed egg before he stopped crying.

Dangdang Dangdang!

"Firewood, get some here. One load per family. It's good for three days. After that, you have to go find some firewood yourself!"

This is a necessity. If there is no firewood at home, you can’t even have a sip of hot water, let alone eat.

After hearing this, the old soldier hurried to get firewood.

After working for an hour until dark, they finally settled the old soldier and his family.

Master Han and General Gong breathed a sigh of relief. General Gong even performed the Great Wei Army etiquette for Qin Xiaomi, Grandpa Qin, and Grandma Qin: "Thank you, Qin family!"

There is no need to say more. In short, as long as it is not murder or arson, he will do whatever the Qin family asks him to do.

Qin Xiaomi said, "General Gong, there's no need to thank me. My Qin family was able to help the old general because of His Majesty's kindness. He granted my grandfather an official position and a large number of female doctors from the palace to my herbal medicine workshop. If it weren't for these two things, I wouldn't be able to help the old general."

She looked at Master Lu's son and said, "By the way, Master Lu can tell the young masters that any old things they have can be donated to the old military master. It doesn't need to be anything valuable, just a load of firewood, a few pounds of beans and grains, or some fat meat that the young masters find greasy. The old military master is in the process of settling down, and he needs everything."

Master Lu's son: "..."

"No, Master Han is here. Why are you picking on me? I'm just a little servant learning how to do my job. I haven't offended you in the slightest. Is it because my master, the Lu family, is a wealthy and powerful family with abundant resources that you're targeting me?!"

Uncle Qin: "..."

He still has a lot to learn from his niece's tactics of using big banners to get things done!

"Grandma, Second Aunt, it's getting dark. Let's go home quickly. We're hungry." Qin Xiaomi got on the Qin family's carriage and ran away with Grandma Qin and Second Aunt Qin.

Grandpa Qin and Uncle Qin were left behind and after socializing with Master Han and the others, they walked home holding torches.

When they got home, Qin Xiaomi was half full and said, "Grandpa, it was grandma who asked us to eat first."

Grandpa Qin was not angry, but smiled: "Eat when you are hungry. We don't have the rule of eating only after the head of the family arrives."

Grandma Qin: "You are the head of the family? You support this family? My granddaughter supports her. If my granddaughter is hungry, she has to eat!"

Qin Xiaomi: "Grandma, don't use me as a scapegoat when you're angry with Grandpa. I feel so wronged."
