I trade in both worlds

Chapter 377 Going to Foreign Lands

After hearing this, the clan leader sighed deeply. He was silent for a while, then asked, "Has the Yang family come here in the past few days?"

Xu Zhun shook his head, his eyes revealing a bit of vigilance: "No. But we are worried that they are planning a big move."

The clan leader sighed deeply upon hearing this. Xu Jin and Xu Zhun's concerns were not without reason.

It is obvious that the Yang family will not give up when they come back this time.

And how should the Xu family deal with this coming storm?

Upon hearing this, the clan leader's eyes revealed a trace of worry, and his expression became more solemn. He said in a deep voice: "It's not impossible."

Second Mistress looked at Xu Jin and Xu Zhun, her eyes full of heartache, and sighed helplessly: "This Yang family is really a sin, forcing you to be like this."

Xu Jin glanced at Xu Zhun, and the two exchanged glances again.

Then, Xu Jin said dejectedly: "So we contacted Sister Qing, and she can take us to a foreign country to hide for a while."

The clan leader was slightly stunned when he heard this. He obviously did not expect Xu Jin and Xu Zhun to have such a plan.

"Is it Sister Qing who gave the potato seeds?" he asked uncertainly.

Xu Zhun nodded, his eyes starting to turn red: "Yes, that's her. She mentioned to us before that she has friends in Fanbang who can help us settle down."

As Second Grandma listened to their words, her eyes became moist.

She touched Xu Zhun's head reluctantly and said with a choked voice: "Is there no other way for someone who has left his hometown?"

Xu Jin was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, and calmed himself down.

He smiled bitterly and said, "We don't plan to leave until we have no other choice."

The clan leader sighed deeply, feeling sorry for what happened to Xu Jin and Xu Zhun, as they would be able to take part in the autumn examination in a few months.

Because of this terrible thing, I missed such an opportunity.

For the sake of the clan, the clan leader should have dissuaded Xu Jin and Xu Zhun from leaving with Xu Xu. He knew very well that it was impossible to persuade them, and there was no need to do so.

If they were really persuaded, the twins would stay in Xu Village, and Xu Xu would have to take the children away alone. It would be difficult for them to survive in the clan in the future.

After all, if he can just abandon his elder sister who raised him, how much trust can he have in his clan?

After hearing this, the chief was silent for a long time. Leaving this familiar land and starting a new life in an unfamiliar place is not easy. The risks and costs involved...

He slowly said, "Is this the only way to go to a foreign country?"

Xu Jin glanced at Xu Zhun, nodded, and said, "This is the worst option. We want to make more preparations, but if we can't fight back, we can only leave temporarily."

The Second Mistress felt uncomfortable listening to this, and could not hide the worry on her face.

"The Yang family is really committing a sin. A good family has been torn apart by them." The second grandmother said with a sob.

"Will you come back in the future?" There was a hint of expectation in the patriarch's voice.

Xu Jin looked into the clan leader's eyes, his eyes revealing a hint of determination and persistence.

"As long as we have the chance, we will definitely come back. This is our home, our roots. I'm just afraid... I'm afraid that if we go out, many things will not be up to us." His voice was full of worry and helplessness about the future, but also a deep attachment to his hometown.

The clan leader sighed deeply upon hearing this. Xu Jin and Xu Zhun's departure was a forced choice.

He looked at them, his eyes revealing a hint of understanding and support: "I know your decision is difficult, but no matter what, remember that as long as you have a home and roots in your heart, you will be able to find your own destination no matter where you go."

After that, the clan leader stood up and said slowly: "Let's go, I'll take you to the ancestral hall to copy the family tree."

Xu Jin and Xu Zhun followed the clan leader to the ancestral hall.

The ancestral hall was quiet, with only the occasional sound of wind. Xu Jin and Xu Zhun stood in front of the family tree, their hearts filled with awe and emotion.

This genealogy not only records the history and heritage of the Xu family, but also carries their deep attachment and nostalgia for their family.

The clan leader took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone and handed them to Xu Jin and Xu Zhun: "You guys copy it."

Xu Jin and Xu Zhun took the pen, ink, paper and inkstone and began to copy the family tree carefully. Their strokes were light and powerful, and every time they wrote a word, they felt a sense of family inheritance and responsibility.

They know that no matter what the future holds, they will carry this family tree and their deep attachment and nostalgia for their family to meet new challenges and an unknown future.

The twin brothers Xu Jin and Xu Zhun returned home and told Xu Xu the whole process of communicating with the clan leader.

After listening to this, Xu Xu frowned and was silent for a moment, then hesitated: "Tomorrow, I will go to my second uncle's house and tell him about our plan."

She was a little hesitant, wondering whether to tell Xu Jizong the truth.

Over the past ten years, Xu Jizong has always treated them as his own children. No matter big or small matters at home, Xu Jizong is always the first to step forward to help them.

If they left like this, Xu Jizong would definitely think of them and worry about them all the time.

If she didn't tell him the truth and just left like this, she would feel uneasy for the rest of her life.

"What do you think? Should we tell the truth to our second uncle?" Xu Xu suddenly asked.

Xu Zhun looked at Xu Xu in surprise: "What truth are you telling?"

"The grocery room." Xu Xu said softly.

Xu Jin couldn't help but lower his head and think.

Xu Zhun couldn't help but ask, "Sister, do you really want to tell Uncle Er?"

Xu Xu turned to look at Xu Zhun: "Yes, we can't just leave like this and make Second Uncle worry about us."

"Besides, if the day really comes when we have to leave, and we leave just like that, I will feel uneasy for the rest of my life."

Xu Jin also nodded in agreement: "Sister is right, we should tell the truth to Second Uncle. He is our elder and has treated us well over the years."

Xu Jizong's kindness to them is not just due to blood ties, but also due to his heartfelt care.

Over the years, whenever they encountered difficulties, Xu Jizong always supported them silently and never complained.

Now, they are leaving the place where they have lived for ten years, how can they not tell him the truth?

"Then tell me." Xu Zhun felt that what they said made sense, and he also believed that Xu Jizong would not harm them.

The next morning, at Xu Jizong's house, Aunt Xu was washing clothes in the yard in the sun. Her hands were rubbing the clothes in the cold water, and beads of sweat were appearing on her forehead.

Seeing Xu Xu, she greeted him with a smile: "Xu Xu, why are you here? Come in and sit down."

Xu Xu smiled, moved a chair and sat next to Aunt Xu, and asked, "Aunt, I'm here to see Uncle. Is he home?"

"He went to the fields." Aunt Xu replied without stopping her movements. "What do you want to see him for?"

"It's okay, Second Aunt. I just came to see you." Xu Xu shook his head.
