General, the lady escaped again

Chapter 1349: For the Child’s Future (1)

"Madam, don't pay attention to him. He just lost money and is trying to make a comeback!" Old Ling said with a smile, telling Ji Xiaomu to ignore Old Hu.

"Madam, is there anything important that requires us old guys?" Old Bai also smiled. Normally, little mother Ji would not ask these old guys to come out unless it was something important.

If they are invited, there must be something important.

"Madam, please feel free to speak." Mr. Zhang also nodded.

Ji Xiaomu smiled at them and was about to speak when she saw Qu Jing following her.

Seeing Ji Xiaowu's puzzled look, Qu Jing explained, "I'm just learning to play mahjong from them..."

Now that Heyang City's affairs don't require his involvement, Qu Jing enjoys his free time every day and hangs out with a few old men. Recently, they have become addicted to mahjong, and he has also become fascinated with it, but he is not qualified to sit at the table yet, so he has to learn from the side first.

"Then let's listen to it together!" Ji Xiaomu smiled at everyone and told the old men about the orphan plan she had just mentioned.

The reactions of the old men were completely opposite to Bai Yichen's. They stood up excitedly.

"Madam, you are really sleepy so you bring us pillows!" Old Zhang was the most excited. This time, their Zhang family lost a lot of disciples, and he was heartbroken!

In addition, the children of this generation have not yet married, and the Zhang family doesn’t even have a few younger generations. How can we ensure the continuation of the Zhang family’s inheritance?

Mr. Hu even took the baby in his arms and said, "Don't take it from me, it's mine!"

"Old Hu, you're going too far!" Old Ling rolled his eyes at Old Hu. "What if this kid isn't cut out for martial arts? Let go!"

"What do you care! Even if it's not him, I'm willing to raise him!" Old Hu said immediately gritting his teeth.

"There are only a few people in my Hu family, and there are so many of you. Don't fight with me for these. These are all mine! Mine!" Old Hu said excitedly.

Are there not many men from the Hu family who died on the battlefield?

"I am not happy with what you said. Did I ask for half of my Zhang family's disciples to be gone? These children should belong to our Zhang family." Zhang Jia became anxious and picked up the other child, holding him in his arms.

Elder Ling and Elder Bai looked at each other, and they both silently recruited the remaining two children to their side.

Each of the four children should have one and no one should snatch it from them.

"Well, there are more than just these few children." Ji Xiaowu looked at their actions and reminded helplessly. "I'm asking someone to count the number of children."

"Madam!" The four elders immediately rushed to Ji Xiaou and looked at her with eager eyes.

“Madam, please have pity on my Zhang family disciples. Half of them were killed in the ambush... Please give us priority in selection..." Old Zhang begged.

"Madam, my Hu family has even fewer disciples than the Zhang family..." Old Hu also choked up, shedding tears of sadness.

"Madam, we can contribute money to raise these children together..." Elder Bai and Elder Ling looked at each other and said in tacit understanding.

Mother Ji looked at the four old men and thought.

"Madam, the statistics are ready. There are a total of 312 children." Bai Yang came to Ji Xiaomu with the records and handed the paper in his hand to Ji Xiaomu.

Ji Xiaowu took a look. "Are they all orphans?"

"Not all." Bai Yang shook his head.

"Then what else?" Ji Xiaomu was stunned.

"Some of them reported their children's names on their own initiative after hearing that the lady wanted to adopt a child." Bai Yang looked at Ji Xiaomu. When they asked him why he wanted to count the children, he accidentally let it slip.

As a result, those who had children reported their children to the government.
