Traveling through life as a widow: six sons to support her in her old age

The roast chicken almost went into Yu Xiu and Old Lady Yu’s stomachs.

Lan Qiyan had no appetite. She was thinking about how to communicate and make money from selling arms.

The three brothers had even less appetite. How much did their mother know and what did she want to do?

At night, the even breathing sounds of Old Lady Yu and Yu Xiu could be heard from both rooms at the same time.

A big one and three small ones walked towards the kitchen stealthily.

Yuqi sat in front of the stove with ease, and Yumian added water to the pot.

Yulin took a few sweet potatoes and put them in there. He drank plain water all day and his mouth had no taste.

Lan Qiyan took a stool and sat at the door, leaving it ajar. "Okay, let's talk."

The three children looked at each other. Yulin said, "Mom, let me tell you first. We are completely ordinary children now."

"They won't play with you anymore."

"Yes!"

"Is that so? Do they need weapons?"

Yulin was a little confused, "Mom, what do you mean? Possessing weapons is illegal."

"Pretend, keep pretending, you little brat, do you think I'm really stupid?"

Yulin scratched his head, "Mom, if you have anything to say, just tell me."

Lan Qiyan whispered, "If they need weapons, they can come to me. I have a way to get them, but you can't ask me where I came from, because I won't tell you. This is related to my life and death."

Yulin smiled and said, "Mom, you can only say this to us. Don't tell anyone else, otherwise your life will be in danger."

Lan Qiyan waved his hands, "I don't know you guys yet, don't worry, your grudge won't be resolved in a short time.

That thing has been planned for more than 20 years. Your main task now is to grow up well.

Enrich your knowledge, exercise your body, be well-read, and have the upper hand in both civil and military strategies.

Wait until you have sufficient self-defense capabilities before launching a general attack.

Your actions now are like hitting a rock with an egg. Moreover, the capital is in turmoil and everyone wants to be the one sitting on the dragon throne.

Instead of charging into battle, you might as well be the oriole. "

"Mom, this will make life miserable for the people..."

Lan Qiyan sneered, "If you go to seek revenge, won't the people suffer?

Lao Wu, what is the reason why people are living in poverty? One reason is too many heavy taxes and levies.

Why are there so many exorbitant taxes? Because there is no money in the treasury. The country’s army needs money, officials need salaries, and the country’s infrastructure needs money.

But what about the silver? The silver is not in the hands of the common people, but in the hands of the dignitaries in the capital.

You are taking over this mess now, how are you going to clean it up?

Another reason is the barrenness of the land. Although composting methods have become popular, crops are monotonous, natural disasters and man-made disasters occur frequently, and the population is booming.

Food production cannot keep up with people's appetite. How do you solve this problem?"

Yulin felt that it made sense but there was no solution to it.

"Mom, how can we solve these problems you mentioned? Will they solve them?"

Lan Qiyan shook his head. "They can't solve it, and you can't solve it either."

"What should I do?"

"I have a solution."

"What can I do, mother?"

"Don't go out and seek revenge just yet. Instead, gather your people together and set up a few organizations to collect money from the corrupt officials in the capital.

Have you heard of tomb raiders? In ancient times, those in power set up an army to rob tombs and raise money for the army.

Don't rob tombs, just go and steal the money of corrupt officials, and all the money comes from illegal sources, so they won't report it to the authorities.

Move some out every once in a while until they are all gone. Then I'll get you some poison, colorless, odorless and slow-acting.

By the time you grow up, they will be done with their work.

At the same time, the money collected was used to recruit soldiers and buy advanced weapons. When the team gradually grew stronger, the time would be ripe.

When the time comes, you can charge into the capital, avenge your great vengeance, and complete my mission, and then you can roam the world."

For the first time, Yulin felt that his mother was not that stupid to be able to say such words.

"What's that look in your eyes, Lao Liu? What's that expression? Do you think I'm stupid?"

Yulin shook his head. "Mom, I know you are doing this for my own good, but they have cut off contact with me, so I can't spread these words."

"Forget it if we can't spread it. We will do it ourselves. The first thing is to make money. After making money, I will send you to school. Then you study and I will continue to make money."

Seeing their mother's firm determination, the three brothers couldn't bear to break her dream.

Making money is not that easy.

All of their silver was robbed, sometimes after a lot of trouble, or they had no place to hide the robbed silver.

"Mom, the pot is boiling. Would you like a bowl of sweet potato water?"

"Give me a bowl." She thought the children didn't listen to what she said tonight.

You see, when people are weak, everything they say is bullshit, but after they succeed, all the bullshit they say is true.

Yulin felt really wronged. They listened to him, but the key point was that the development of events was now beyond his control.

"Mom, be careful, it's hot." Yu Qisheng handed over a bowl and said, "Mom, we sincerely call you mom, and you treat us brothers as your own sons.

Your sons listened to what you said tonight, but the current situation is beyond our control.

As for why we want to act now, it is because ever since my father was eliminated, the enemy country has been ready to make a move and has been harassing people living on the border for the past year.

Those sent out from the capital are all incompetent rats. Only those who get to the top by flattery can have any real ability.

The four kings who assisted him in ascending the throne also had their own agendas. "

"So they think this is a good time?"

"Yes."

"Stupid." Lan Qiyan blurted out. She knew why General Xie and the former prince were so stupid.

"Mother, do you think the situation is not right?"

"No, is it really stupid for someone who has been dormant for more than 20 years, watching his elder brother become the emperor, establish a crown prince, and give birth to a grandson before killing his brother and nephew and forcing the emperor to the throne?

Doesn't he know about the actions of the four kings of different surnames? Doesn't he know about the border issues?"

"Mom, do you mean he wants to take down the whole gang?"

"What else? What do you think he's going to do?"

"I see. Then I'll try to contact them," Yulin said.

Yumian stared at Lan Qiyan. Mother seemed different today. Was she possessed by something?

Yu Qi put out the fire in the stove and said, "Mom, can we start living a good life now?"

Lan Qiyan gulped down a bowl of sweet potato juice, stood up and stretched, "What you get, what you don't get, are not as good as having peace of mind; what you want, what you don't want, are not as good as being willing.

My sons, just wait and see, the sun is destined to set, but you will rise.

Mother is the one who holds up the sun, blinding their dog eyes."

The three brothers applauded in unison, saying that what mother said was so good and so right.

"I'm sleepy, let's go to sleep." Lan Qiyan said again.

The three brothers staggered, this was the mother they were so familiar with.
