Chapter 3 Two Options
Aclay listened to Jenny's words, a little distracted, he said with a wry smile: "I fought with them before, even our father died at their hands, and now I have to fight for them and defend their territory, all this is really ironic. ”
Jenny looked at him quietly, and Aclair said for a while, bowing his head and saying, "I'm sorry, Jenny, for making you laugh." It's not that I don't understand, but I personally participated in that battle, my father fell next to me, I also participated in that trial, and my brother died in front of me, and then I also heard that my eldest brother was also killed by them in an operation, these are all hatred, aren't they?"
"Do you still want revenge?" asked Jenny.
"No, I'm not going to do that kind of meaningless thing, I was thinking that when I was released, I would go and find a job that needed to open up the land. You have to know that there is a lot of fertile land in the Black Mountain region, the Arias family has not been able to develop it properly for various reasons, and in addition, there are also a lot of real wild terra nullius, I think those places to open up new farmland, these new land in the Tower of China will not be privately owned, but the developer can choose to get 5 years of tax exemption and 50 years of free use, or resell it to the government for a sum of cash. I don't want to sell the land, but I want to settle down there so you can have a home in the future. ”
"Brother...... Do you really just want to be a farmer? I mean, we were born there, we were their enemies, and their kindness kept us alive, but if we don't become their own people, we and our descendants will only wander on the margins of this group. When something bad happens, we are the first to bear the brunt. Have you forgotten how your father got his position, fight for the duke!
I'm already a low-level mage, and I won't hesitate to set foot on their battlefield whenever I have the chance. Jenny leaned her head over, looked into Akle's eyes and asked, "I don't know what you're resisting? What are you afraid of?"
"Jenny, you've really grown up to say such things, I can't imagine you're only fourteen years old. Aclay said with a sigh.
"It turns out that under the protection of my father and you, I can think about nothing and listen to your arrangements. But there are a lot of things that I have to figure out on my own. Jenny sat there, looking a little bit like an adult, "Do you remember, General Johnson in the early days of the Black Dragon Empire?"
"You mean, the one who served the opposing family when the family was weak, and finally because of the famous generals of the empire?"
"Yes, if General Johnson didn't have that kind of strength at that time, I'm afraid he would have died at the hands of the other family when he was young, right? Jenny said seriously, "When I came, an officer told me that the vocation of a nobleman is to fight, but I feel that the vocation of a nobleman is to keep the family alive. What about standing with your former enemies for this goal?"
Aclay held his head and thought for a while, then finally raised his head and said, "I didn't expect that the person in the family who understands best is you." I've been living a simple life with my fellow inmates since I came here, and sometimes I feel more comfortable than fighting with a sword, but you're right, it's the sword, not the hoe, that supports our family. I figured it out, I'll apply for it as soon as you're gone. ”
"Brother, it's great to think like that. There is always a feeling that since the Chinese do not like to divide the land among everyone, it means that farming is not the best choice here. I've heard before that there aren't too many people like you who want to cultivate land on their own, and most of the time they do it on a farm-by-farm basis.
Compared to them, your resources are good, and your manpower is too bad.
When I came, I came in a crystal car, and where did this amazing thing come from? It's the factory in Hewan New Town. These things are not available anywhere else, and if you are rewarded for your exploits, we should also invest our money in such things. Jenny said.
"Naturally, did you come up with it yourself?"
Jenny chuckled, "How is this possible, there are many things, I heard the teacher and the mayor of the town say.
As a person who lacks support, I must open my eyes wide, open my ears, and listen to what they say, and I will naturally figure out some truths. Mayor Chen always encouraged the people of Arano to invest their surplus money in industry, and he also set up a thing called the Arano Industrial Development Fund to fund people to open factories in Arano Town. I don't know the specifics, but since we've made a decision, we have to do things according to their interests, don't we?"
"Jenny, you are a more qualified nobleman than I am. Aclair concluded.

After convincing his brother Aclair, Jenny visits her sister Ruth.
Compared to Akle's state, Ruth's mental state looked much worse. Obviously only a few years older than Jenny, but at this time, he looks like a middle-aged woman. There were a lot more silver threads on his hair, and wrinkles were crawling on his face.
Jenny felt very sad when she saw her blank expression and cloudy eyes. She knew that her sister was not freed from the death of her husband and father, but was trapped in it.
"Sister, you've suffered!" said Jenny, with tears in her eyes.
Ruth glanced at her and said, "It seems that you are doing well, and they don't embarrass you too much, do they?"
"Yes, sister. In fact, you have experienced enough, and you don't need to punish yourself for others anymore. I believe that neither your father nor your husband want you to be depressed like this forever. ”
"The Chinese have come up with cooperation. Ruth sighed, "As long as I cooperate with them to take over the town that belongs to me and my husband, I will be pardoned." But ......"
"But you still can't forgive them for killing the most important person in your life?"
Ruth nodded, "Please forgive your sister's stubbornness, I know it doesn't make much sense." But it's my choice. You can persuade Akle, because his heart has long been let go, and he only needs someone to push him, and he can move forward naturally. But I'm different, I haven't let go of my heart at all, so let me stay here quietly. ”
Jenny didn't say anything more, just hugged her sister and hugged her for a long, long time.
