Gao Lan was initially furious, but after hearing Ji Yunshuang's words, her eyes lit up, and she slapped her thigh, saying, "How could I be so stupid? How could I not have thought of that? Sister Ji, you are so amazing, thank you so much."

Now, because everyone is focused on getting her son Wang Erniu to serve in the military, the eldest and third sons' families have banded together to deal with them. The old couple are also biased, favoring the eldest and third sons' families.

She wanted to see if the two families could still stick together then.

"You're just confused by anger. You'd think of that if you calmed down."

The Wang family had household affairs to attend to, so Ji Yunshuang didn't stay long. She exchanged a few polite words with Gao Lan and then went back.

After Ji Yunshuang left, Gao Lan went to discuss the matter with Wang Erniu.

After discussing it for more than half an hour, Wang Erniu went to the old Wang family house, found the two elders, and said that it was not impossible for him to go to the army, but he couldn't always be the one to suffer!

Wang Erniu made several requests to the elderly couple.

The first rule is to completely separate his family's household registration from his brothers' after he enlists in the army.

In addition, he used to be the one to perform corvée labor. Since the two brothers don't treat him like family, then the corvée labor that should have been performed by them should be converted into money or land to compensate their family.

Then, they all went their separate ways. Wang Erniu died on the battlefield, and his children were good-for-nothings. Even if they had to beg, they wouldn't knock on their brothers' door to ask for help.

But if one day Wang Erniu gets lucky and becomes rich, they shouldn't pretend to be his brother anymore and shamelessly try to get close to him.

If they agree to these conditions, Wang Erniu will agree to serve in the military this time. If they don't agree, he will bear the crime of being unfilial and make a scene at the government office to separate the household registration.

The elderly couple from the Wang family cursed Wang Erniu and his wife fiercely once again.

But because the family had been arguing for so long about who should serve in the military, they finally agreed to Wang Erniu's request.

Wang Dazhi and Wang Xiaofeng had no objection to Wang Erniu's suggestion that he completely separate his household registration after his military service and sever all ties with his family. They even thought Wang Erniu was foolish.

With his stupidity, what future can he possibly have?

Instead of trying to curry favor with them and build a good relationship so he can help his wife and children in the future, he makes this kind of request. It's like cutting off his own path to survival.

However, the two brothers were very dissatisfied with Wang Erniu's suggestion that the corvée labor he had previously performed for them should be converted into money and paid to him, and they threw a huge tantrum.

Finally, the two managed to agree to use their family's land to compensate Wang Erniu, but then they started arguing over whether it should be Wang Dazhi's family or Wang Xiaofeng who went to serve in the military.

Seeing the two brothers fall out, Gao Lan finally felt relieved.

She picked two baskets of vegetables from the field and happily delivered them to Ji Yunshuang.

However, Ji Yunshuang was not at home today.

She went to Sweet Fragrance Shop and called Zhu Dong'e into a private room, saying, "I came here today to tell you that we have found Lu Jin and Lu Yin."

"They've really been found?" Zhu Dong'e asked excitedly. "Where are they?"

"Actually, we've had it for a while, but it wasn't convenient to rescue it at the time, and we didn't tell you because we were afraid you'd worry."

Ji Yunshuang briefly explained how Huang Jiayu bought a large number of girls, raised them for a period of time, and then sent them to powerful and wealthy people for their amusement.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Dong'e trembled all over and gritted her teeth, saying, "These beasts, I will kill them! They are not even human!"

"Don't get agitated," Ji Yunshuang said. "I'm telling you all this today not so you can go and seek revenge on those beasts. You're just an ordinary person; how could you possibly defeat them?"

She pointed to her head and said, "To deal with them, we need to use this."

I'm telling you this because I want to tell you that we've rescued not only your two daughters, but also other children who were bought by Huang Jiayu.

However, for their safety, they cannot appear in public for the time being, and we have placed them in a safe place.

"Once you've calmed down, I can take you to see them. But you can't go by yourself, otherwise you'll not only harm me, but all the children."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Dong'e repeatedly assured him, "Master, don't worry, I will listen to you. I will never go to see those two sisters without permission, and I will never cause you any trouble or harm you."

Ji Yunshuang nodded in satisfaction, "Then pack your things, arrange things at the shop, come back to the countryside with me tonight, and I'll take you to meet them tomorrow."

Zhu Dong'e used to be scolded at home for being stupid and incompetent, and people said she couldn't do anything right.

But ever since she escaped and followed Ji Yunshuang, Ji Yunshuang has often affirmed her and praised her for doing well. Her abilities and talents have also gradually emerged.

She can now not only precisely control the oven temperature to bake delicious cookies and pastries, but also coordinate interpersonal relationships in the store very well.

After seeing this, Ji Yunshuang gave her a small managerial position, putting her in charge of managing the kitchen staff.

In addition, she receives an extra string of copper coins as a bonus each month.

Zhu Dong'e never dreamed that she could earn so much money through her own abilities, and she was full of energy every day.

After hearing Ji Yunshuang's words, she suppressed her excitement and returned to the kitchen to work hard. Only after confirming that the goods sold the next day would not be affected did she pack her things and return to Shuanghe Village with Ji Yunshuang.

She worked at the Sweet Fragrance Shop, and when she had money, she used it to buy cloth and made several outfits for her two children.

She usually wouldn't use the things Ji Yunshuang gave her as rewards, always wanting to save them for her daughter.

Although she wasn't sure if she could find her child, she always held onto that hope.

Now that the children have been found, Zhu Dong'e has taken all these things with her.

The next morning, he packed his things and went to the cave with Ji Yunshuang.

After Lu Yinheng left, the girl in the cave went through a series of psychological changes and eventually accepted the fact that they would be living in the cave from now on. She began to cheer up and try to live a normal life.

Lu Yinheng left enough rice and grain in the cave so that they wouldn't have to worry about food for the time being, but they didn't have much firewood for cooking.

After the weather cleared up, the older children would lead the younger children to collect firewood.

However, remembering Lu Yinheng's words, they did not go to the mountains outside the cave, but instead went through a small branch in the cave to that large wasteland without wild animals.

When Ji Yunshuang arrived with Zhu Dong'e, most of the children had gone to the wasteland to collect firewood.

Only a few young, sick girls remained in the cave.

Upon seeing the two women who suddenly appeared, the little girl left in the cave showed a look of terror.

However, they quickly remembered what Lu Yinheng had said and looked at Ji Yunshuang, asking, "Are you Lu Jin and Lu Yin's mother?"
