Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After Du Shanqiang and the others left Locust Village, Xue Sihu went to Xue Da, “Grandpa, don’t worry. You’ve lived for so long and must have seen people like Du Shanqiangs parents.
“They won’t just stand idly by and watch her do absolutely nothing. Right now, it’ll be a little difficult for her to leave that house with Hongguo, but if they can’t stand it, they’ll eventually be kicked out anyway.
“They didn’t like Hongguo being a girl, and it’s not good for Hongguo to stay either. Otherwise, they wouldn’t offhandedly say that they might sell Hongguo to a terrible family.”
“Actually,you make a good point.” Xue Da slowly pieces the information together, but he still couldn’t be happy about the current decision his daughter made.
In order to brighten up the old man’s mood, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan tried to come up with something to distract his sadness. Then, Xue Yan said, “Grandpa, when I said that I was going home with Jiang Yue, I wasn’t actually going home. Someone at the village entrance came to find us and told us that Sanfu and Wufu were doing well in the military camp.”
Xue Sihu immediately looked at his two precious children and smiled.
“A Commander? How?” Liu Guixia asked urgently,
Although Xue Dafu didn’t know who told them, he was still very happy. Who cared? His son had made a contribution to the army! He was even promoted to a Commander!
Xue Da, Xue Xiaoxi, Xue Dagui, and the others also looked at Xue Yan in confusion.
Xue Yan said, “A Commander is an official military officer. With this title, he will have a thousand people under him.”
“Sanfu is an official now?!!!” Not only did Xue Da stand up excitedly, but Xue Dafu and others stood up as well. Someone in the Xue family had become an official!
Xue Sihu was also shocked. It wasn’t that they were shocked by the new title, but the fact that he now had 1000 thousand working under him. He had rendered meritorious service and was now a Commander.
Not bad Sanfu, not bad at all!
Then, Xue Sihu laughed again.
Only Jiang Yue remained calm.
“Yes.” Xue Yan smiled and nodded. “Sanfu is an official now.”
“There are a thousand people under him. That should be a big position, right?” Xue Dafu rubbed his hands together in excitement.
Liu Guixia was also very excited. She stared at her youngest son with a look that said, “Tell me quickly. What does that mean?”
“Quite big, it’s like a fourth grade title.”
“A genuine fourth-grade title?! ! ! ” Xue Dafu’s eyes immediately widened. He knew that the County Magistrate was a grade nine.
“That’s amazing!” Xue Da clapped his hands in glee.
“Sanfu, our pride and joy of the Xue family!” Xue Dagui laughed alongside everyone. He can now say he has a nephew who became a high-ranking official in the future!
“I’m happy for you!” Xue Xiaoxi congratulated.
Xue Gouzi was proud that someone from the Xue family was able to become an official!
Xue Sihu first joined everyone in rejoicing for a while before saying with a smile, “It’s better to keep this matter a secret so that Du Shanqiangs parents won’t cling to Daxi even more.
“When Xue Shi was one month old, Xue Daxi didn’t want to come back. Du Shanqiangs parents knew that we were living a good life, so they insisted that Xue Daxi come back to visit us. In the past, when Xue Daxi went back to her parents ‘home, they always made her angry.
“As a result, Xue Daxi didn’t go back often. At most, she would visit them once during the New Year..”
