The Legend of the Farm Girl

After leaving Linglong Embroidery Workshop, the two began to buy things needed for the family in the city, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea. Except for tea, it can be said that the Yun family urgently needs everything.

Fortunately, the locations of the various stores that the cunning broker told them on the road were correct. The two of them spent the whole morning and bought these things.

The rented house is becoming more and more like home with the addition of these things.

After lunch, the Yun family finally had the energy to discuss in detail how to plan their next journey.

Yunfang's mother said to Yunfeng, "Your sister and I still want you to continue your studies, so we will send you to the Tingfeng Academy."

After hearing this, Yunfeng said anxiously: "Mom, the tuition there is too expensive. How much will my elder sister have to embroider? I don't want my elder sister to work so hard. I can learn it at home. I don't want to go."

When Yunfang's mother saw Yunfeng's intense reaction, she looked at Yunfang.

Yunfang received her mother's gaze and said to Yunfeng gently, "Feng'er, I still have 17 taels of silver. Tingfeng Academy requires a quarterly tuition fee, which is 15 taels. Together with the student uniform, these 17 taels should be enough. You will have to pay the rest of the tuition by yourself."

Yun Feng was puzzled: "I pay for it myself? I don't have any money!"

Yunfang explained: "You have to study hard and get into the top five. Yunfeng, I'm telling you seriously that your goal should be to pass the exam and gain a good reputation. This way, our family won't be bullied by anyone. We will provide you with a good learning environment, and you will protect us in the future."

After listening to Yunfang's words, Yunfeng realized for the first time that his sister had such high expectations of him. He made up his mind that since his sister had such high expectations of him, he must reach her goals.

However, Yunfeng felt it was not good to spend all the remaining money at home on himself, and he was still a little hesitant.

"But, sister, this is all the money left at home. If I use it all for my studies, how will I live in the future?"

Seeing that Yunfeng had taken her words to heart, Yunfang said to Yunfeng, "Don't worry, I am confident that I will be able to pass the recruitment of Linglong Embroidery Workshop on the eighth day of the first lunar month. With your sister's embroidery skills, it will be easy for us to support our family."

Yun Feng nodded firmly: "Sister, you can definitely do it. You are great at everything you do!"

Yunfang patted Yunfeng and said with a smile, "Well, whether you can enter Tingfeng Academy depends on whether you can pass the assessment. You haven't touched a book for more than half a month, I'm afraid you have forgotten a lot of things. Go and review it quickly, or you won't be able to meet the admission standards, which would be a joke."

Yun Feng had not read any books since the suspension of classes at Master Feng's school. Thinking of this, he blushed and said, "Okay, I'll start reviewing in the afternoon."

Yunfeng’s foundation was mainly built by Yunfang and is very solid. Yunfang has great confidence in Yunfeng.

Yunfeng's problem was solved, and Yunfang said to her mother, "Mom, we have finally settled down. Let's go tell Grandma Li and the others tomorrow!"

Yunfang's mother had obviously thought of this and said, "Okay, you and I will go out tomorrow morning, and Yunfeng will stay at home to review while taking care of Yunying."

The next morning, Yunfang, who had studied in the system all night, got up early and prepared breakfast. Yunfang practiced embroidering a handkerchief and reading and writing in the system.

The mother and daughter had just finished breakfast and were about to go out when someone knocked on the door. The Yun family was stunned when they heard the knock. Who was it?

Yun Fangniang came to the door and asked the person outside, "Who is it?"

A middle-aged woman's voice came from outside the door: "I live next door. I saw someone moved in here, so I came to ask if you need any help?"

Yun Fangniang opened the door doubtfully.

A woman in her thirties was standing at the door. She looked at Yun Fangniang who was alert and said to her with a smile, "Don't worry. This street is inhabited by scholars. It can be said to be the safest street in the city. No bad people dare to come here. My last name is Zhao and my husband's last name is Shi. I heard some noise yesterday and knew that someone had moved in here. I came here specially today to see if there is anything I can help you with."

Yun Fangniang still didn't let down her guard, and said to the woman in front of her: "Thank you for your concern, Madam Shi. I don't have much at home, so I've taken care of everything."

Shi Niangzi had a look on her face that said, "Why are you so ungrateful?" But suddenly she changed her expression and said, "I still have to go in and take a look. Mr. Yan was in a hurry to go to the funeral. Before he left, he asked my family to help take care of him. I have to see if you have damaged anything in Mr. Yan's house."

Yun Fangniang said firmly, "I'm so sorry. When my family rented the house, the government didn't say that anyone would be looking after us. We can certainly guarantee to take good care of the rented house, but we won't accept any supervision."

After hearing what Yun Fangniang said, Shi Niangzi knew that the woman in front of her was not someone who could be easily bullied. She just wanted to take advantage of her new neighbor, but she didn't dare to do it because the other person was too tough.

After hearing what Yun Fang's mother said, she said embarrassedly: "A dog bites Lu Dongbin, who doesn't know the kindness of a good person, huh!" She turned around and went back to her home.

Yun Fang's mother was speechless. This woman had ulterior motives, yet she was so confident about it.

Yunfang's mother ignored her and turned to tell Yunfeng to close the door of the house and not open it to anyone except herself.

Yunfang's mother took Yunfang to the address written by the Li family. The address given by the Li family was in the wealthy area in the east of the city. All the people living here were wealthy businessmen. Yunfang's mother found the Zou Mansion written by the Li family and saw the servant coming out of the corner gate. She hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, did a relative named Li come to your mansion a few days ago?"

The servant looked at Yunfang and her daughter and replied, "There are indeed relatives who have fled here. What does it have to do with you?"

"We fled here with them and wanted to let them know we were safe."

"Then you don't have to wait here. The master has sent this relative to the house in the north of the city. Go look for him there!"

"Excuse me, little brother, where is the house in the north of the city? We need to know the exact location so that we can go and look for it!"

"Go away, go away! I don't know where to go. The master has so many houses, who knows where to place this begging relative!"

Yun Fangniang felt the servant's impatient attitude and knew that the Li family was not treated preferentially. There was no need for them to wait here, so the mother and daughter hurriedly walked towards the north of the city.

The mother and daughter went to the north of the city and wanted to inquire about the whereabouts of the Li family, but there were so many people living in the north of the city that they couldn't find them at all. They had no choice but to return home.

What the two who returned home didn't know was that the Li family had also tried to find them. Although Mr. Zou only arranged a courtyard with four rooms for the Li family, he still allowed the entire Li family to live there.

After settling down, the Li family was worried that the orphans and widows of the Yun family would be bullied, so they went to the pawnbroker at the city gate. The pawnbroker who knew their whereabouts did not tell them the Yun family's address because he had a quarrel with Yun Fang's mother, and the two families lost contact from then on.
