After her fate was taken away, she was favored by her five brothers.

It was already noon when the two returned to the Yun family.

As soon as Yun Fu entered the courtyard, he stood in the yard and shouted, "Mom, is the meal ready? I'm hungry."

But no one responded to her.

She went to the kitchen first and saw that the stove was still empty.

Yun Fu was puzzled and said to Yun Zhiqian, "Is mother not at home? Where did she go?"

The two walked into the main room and found Liu and Yun Zhengqing were both at home. They both had sad faces, as if something had happened.

"Dad, you're back too."

Yun Fu was still very happy to see Yun Zhengqing at home.

Normally, Yun Zhengqing always leaves at dawn and comes back at dark, and has never had a day's rest. If he continues like this, his body will definitely not be able to bear it. It's always good to take a break today.

When Yun Zhengqing saw Yun Fu and Yun Zhiqian enter the house, his sad face immediately changed into a smile: "Well, I'll rest at home for a day today."

Liu immediately wiped away the tears on her face and put on a smiling face: "You are back. Where did you go to play? You must be hungry. I will go cook dinner."

As Liu said this, she stood up and went to the kitchen.

It was all their fault because they were so focused on talking in the house that they didn’t hear the two children come in.

Fortunately, they stopped talking as soon as the children entered the house, so the children probably didn’t hear their conversation just now.

Liu lowered her head for fear that the child would see her red eyes, but Yun Zhiqian grabbed Liu's arm. Liu looked up, and Yun Zhiqian saw that there were still tears on his mother's face.

"Dad, Mom, what happened at home?"

Liu and Yun Zhengqing looked at each other.

Yun Zhengqing looked at Liu: "Qian'er has grown up, don't hide it from the child, just tell Qian'er directly."

Liu calmed down and said, "Your father was kicked out of the blacksmith shop two days ago. The shopkeeper told him to think about which important person in Shiqiao Town he had offended. Later, your father decided to quit. With this skill, he can make a living wherever he goes.

Your father doesn't know how to do anything else, so we asked two other blacksmith shops. They originally agreed to let your father go to work there, but when we went there today, they said they didn't need him anymore.

The embroidery shop also refused to accept the embroidery work I did. The shop assistant pulled me aside and reminded me to think about who I had offended recently.

I gave the young man twenty coins, and he reminded me that he was the local tyrant in Shiqiao Town.

Yun Zhiqian pounded his fist on the table and gritted his teeth, "It's the Xie family again! They want to force mother to serve in the Xie Mansion. They are bullying me. Too bullying."

Liu said, "I have discussed it with your father. We will move out of Shiqiao Town in the next few days."

Yun Zhiqian's eyes deepened: "No, moving will be a bargain for them."

It seemed that it was a right decision to rent the shop today. He was going to open the shop opposite Xuan Ji to compete with the Lin family. He wanted everyone in Shiqiao Town to use their Yun family's ice, and he wanted to close down the Lin family's shop.

The Lin family is related to the Xie family by marriage, so this can be considered as indirectly giving the Xie family a taste of their own medicine.

"Qian'er, don't do anything stupid."

Liu and Yun Zhengqing looked at each other and saw worry in each other's eyes.

Qian'er didn't know Xiaowu's background. If Xiaowu's background was exposed because of this, they would be committing a serious sin.

"Dad, Mom, don't worry, I won't do anything inappropriate."

Yun Fu couldn't bear to see Liu crying, so she walked over and hugged Liu, using her small body to give her strength.

Since she came to the Yun family, her mother has loved her like her own daughter, allowing her to finally experience the feeling of having a mother.

Similarly, she also regarded Liu as her own mother.

Putting aside the bond between mother and daughter, apart from Yun Zhengqing and his wife, only Yun Fu in the Yun family knew what troubled them at the moment.

At this time, Liu made up her mind and said, "Otherwise I will agree to them and go to Xie's house to take care of the old lady."

"no!"

Yun Zhiqian and Yun Fu said in unison!

Yun Zhiqian said, "Mother, I won't let you go into the wolf's den again. If you go back now, they will definitely bully you even more."

It is possible that he would even force my mother to sell herself.

Yun Fu also said, "Mother, Xie Mansion is not a good place. I won't let you suffer there again. Have you forgotten that someone died in Xie Mansion some time ago?"

Liu is in a dilemma!

Yun Zhengqing sighed. If he was not afraid of Xiaowu's identity being exposed, he would not have to be afraid of the Xie Mansion and suffer in this small mountain village in Shiqiao Town.

"Dad, Mom, you have worked hard to raise us all these years. You two should just stay at home and take a rest for a while. As for making money, leave it to Qian'er."

"Don't worry, I will never let my parents and my brothers and sisters go hungry."

Seeing his eldest son's determined face, Yun Zhengqing said, "Qian'er, tell your father the truth. Have you been hiding something from your parents recently?"

Yun Zhiqian didn't want to tell his parents, but he really couldn't bear to see them worry about their livelihood anymore.

But if I tell my parents about opening a shop, I’m afraid it will be difficult to explain where the money came from.

He couldn't betray his sister.

Yun Fu looked at Yun Zhiqian who was in a dilemma and said, "Brother, why don't you talk to our parents?"

Yun Zhiqian thought for a while and said, "Dad, Mom, my sister and I are going to town today to buy a shop."

As soon as Yun Zhiqian finished speaking, Yun Zhengqing and Liu both looked at him in disbelief.

Liu asked hurriedly, "Opening a shop? Where did you get the money?"

"Yes, I borrowed it from a classmate."

Yun Zhengqing's face was ugly. He finally couldn't help but vent out the anger he had been holding back for the past two days: "Nonsense!"

He stood up and paced up and down the room.

I thought Qian'er was a well-behaved child, so I never asked about anything he did.

I didn't expect Qian'er would dare to hide this from them and cause such a disaster!

How could he open a shop without thirty taels of silver? Besides, he had never done business before.

If they lose money, where will they get the money to fill Qian'er's hole?

He had high hopes for his eldest son, but he didn't expect Qian'er to disappoint him so much.

Seeing that his father was really angry, Yun Zhiqian lowered his head and dared not say anything.

Yun Fu glanced at Yun Zhengqing cautiously. Dad seemed a little scary today.

Liu advised: "It's not too late to ask the child what he thinks before scolding him."

"Qian'er, tell me why you suddenly want to open a store?"

Yun Fu said, "Mom, I was the one who pestered my eldest brother to open a shop."

She was the one who caused the trouble, how could she bear to watch her elder brother get scolded.

Yun Zhengqing didn't believe it. His daughter was only six years old and didn't know how to open a shop. She must be too kind and was covering up for her elder brother.

Just as he was about to scold Yun Zhiqian again, he heard his daughter say:

"It was me who pestered my eldest brother to open an ice drink shop because we made ice and ice drinks."

"Ice making?"

Yun Zhengqing's eyebrows moved slightly.

Shouldn't ice be stored in the winter and used in the summer? How can ice still be made?

Seeing that his father didn't believe him, Yun Fu ran out and brought two basins of water. He used the same method to make a basin of ice right under the noses of Yun Zhengqing and Liu.

Yun Zhengqing was so shocked that he opened his eyes wide and looked over.

Liu's heart beat even faster and she was so frightened that she couldn't close her mouth.
