Chapter 34 Family Exchange
Xiao Ding's breakthrough did not cause any ripples in the Xiao family.
Because no one knows about this.
Xiao Lin deliberately concealed this matter, and Xiao Ding himself did not want to be in the limelight.
He is not the kind of person who wants to show off.
As the eldest son of the family, he knows the benefits of keeping a low profile after experiencing a series of changes in the family.
And this is the fundamental reason why Xiao Lin values him.
No matter which world they are in, the vast majority of people, at the age of nine to ten, have no idea what stability is.
But Xiao Ding is different.
He is neither a time traveler nor a reborn person, he just has better talent.
Dou Qi Continent has reproduced itself for so many years and has its own set of standards to measure strength and weakness.
In a society where strength is valued, sometimes talents in other aspects are not valued very much.
Xiao Ding's talent is not weak, but compared with those who are truly talented, it seems a bit stretched.
He is only considered average among ordinary people, but he has the ability to form and control forces.
You may not have seen it, but within a few years of leaving home, he and Xiao Li had already formed a fairly small mercenary group in the city next to the Tagor Desert.
But now, Xiao Lin has no intention of letting him go.
A small mercenary group was nothing. Compared to that mercenary group, he hoped Xiao Ding could stay and help him more.
Xiao Ding's talent in managing the family will definitely be better than that of father and son Xiao Lin and Xiao Zhan.
Since there is a suitable candidate and he is one of the most trustworthy people in his family, wouldn't it be a waste not to use him?
And with him here, many things in the Xiao family are no longer the same as before.
Moreover, Xiao Ding also said that he still wanted to practice with his grandfather.
This incident is considered a small episode.
After the Xiao family cleared out the other two families, they also cracked down on the restless big businessmen. With this set of actions, the people in Wutan City lived peacefully for a year.
But soon, the civilians discovered that there seemed to be many new faces in the Xiao family.
Of course, the Xiao family has not been back for a long time, and not everyone has been out.
However, some keen people discovered that the Xiao family seemed to have changed a group of people silently.
For example, fewer and fewer people who were originally in charge of things in Fangshi came here, but new people spent more time here.
Another example is that the Xiao family is shopping outside, and the children who come out to play are acting strangely...
If it weren't for the fact that they often see the elders walking around, the people living around the Xiao family would really think that something big had happened to the Xiao family.
This emotion was quickly dispelled. After all, the Xiao family is the largest in Wutan City now. How can anyone quietly attack them?
Speaking of being quiet, the Xiao family had previously taken care of two other families without making any big noise. Even the old, weak, women and children were not spared, and they were all killed. That was the real ruthless method.
During this period of time, even the idle ladies in the city did not dare to talk about this matter. After all, in Wutan City for so many years, they had basically been exploited by the two big families. Now that they are gone, everyone is happy to hear about it.
At least the Xiao family treats these ordinary people pretty well, right?
Everything in the market is much cheaper!
We are all ordinary people who want to live in this city. Things are cheaper and everyone is happy.
As for the Xiao family's affairs... who can say accurately what happens in this big family?
And it has nothing to do with them.
…
Xiao Zhu bought a pound of chestnuts and two taels of candy cakes outside the house, nodded politely to the vendor, and then walked back to the Xiao family's mansion.
He is a four-year-old child, and there are many such children in the Xiao family.
These children were all brought back from outside or bought from dental shops. They were both boys and girls, and there were probably hundreds of them.
According to Xiao Lin's instructions, these children were brought back by the younger fighting masters and five-star fighting masters or above of the Xiao family from the surrounding cities in person, and were not found from Wutan City.
Every child has been carefully examined, looking specifically for those who are young and do not fit in with the group of little beggars.
The children in Yaxing are even younger, some are even just over a year old. If it weren't for someone specializing in fighting spirit to protect them, they probably wouldn't be able to bring the Xiao family here.
These children have been given names. According to Xiao Lin's wishes, these people will become the descendants of the Xiao family, or the outer sect.
They do not have the blood of the Xiao family, but the Xiao family supports them, teaches them, and gives them skills and fighting spirit resources, so naturally they are also members of the Xiao family.
The reason why they go to the surrounding cities to look for them so hard is, in Xiao Zhan's words: "Children like this are relatively clean and less likely to cause any trouble."
The children are still young and have no father or mother. If they are brought to the family and taught for two years, they will naturally become members of the Xiao family.
Naturally, Xiao Zhan didn't come up with this idea, but Xiao Lin told him.
Just after Xiao Ding's breakthrough.
Xiao Zhan, who had already completed the first major task, complained to his father that the second task was a bit difficult.
After all, Wutan City is just a small city and there are not that many children.
Then Xiao Lin came up with this method.
This method was experimented by Xiao Lin. When he brought the little medical fairy back, he had seen the state of those little beggars.
No one is born to live on the street. If there is a place willing to take them in, even if the place wants to take advantage of their value, these children will be willing.
The reason why children over four years old are excluded is because older children, who have been wandering outside for so many years, tend to be more independent-minded.
Forget it about girls, boys are unreliable, have wild personalities and are difficult to discipline.
As for sending family members to bring these children back and setting targets, it was decided by the great elders.
The Xiao family used to have a lot of properties in the imperial capital. Although many people rebelled against the family after the accident, some people still stayed.
These people are not that strong, and they don't have that many little thoughts. They are all more responsible people.
And it is these responsible people who do the most basic things when they are in the Holy City.
But it is this foundation that has developed their ability to do things, so it is very reliable to leave these things to them.
Xiao Lin had no objection this time.
After bringing these children back, the Xiao family bought another group of maids and slaves, this time there were no such strict requirements.
After all, those children must be placed with the elderly whose families do not want to leave.
Xiao Lin's plan took away all the young adults and children at home. These elderly people would naturally feel lonely without anyone around them.
