Chapter 13 Calculating the Family Property
into the night.
There was still a dim oil lamp on in the Yun family's main hall.
Except for the youngest Yun Yi who had gone to bed early and fallen asleep, the others were gathered around a square table in the main room.
Yun Huaiyuan and Xi sat next to each other on one side of the table, holding a copy of the Three Character Classic and learning to read the characters together.
It’s hard to recognize the difficulties.
Yun Xi would come over from time to time to give some pointers.
The brothers Yun Yan and Yun Qi were each flipping through an account book with one hand and clacking on an abacus with the other.
Amid the crackling noise, Yun Huaiyuan and the Xi couple could no longer concentrate on learning to read.
Xi couldn't help but yawn, and the yawn was soon passed on to Yun Huaiyuan.
Yun Huaiyuan stretched and yawned loudly, while asking his two sons,
"When will you two be able to settle the accounts?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Qi and Yun Yan stopped what they were doing.
"Okay." The two brothers said in unison.
One voice is slow and the other is light and brisk.
"Brother, how are you?" Yun Xi asked with a smile.
"The accounts are correct. The restaurant's business is getting better day by day. We have already made two silver coins in the past six months."
Yun Huaiyuan and Xi suddenly lost all their sleepiness and opened their mouths wide enough to fit walnuts.
"So many?" Yun Huaiyuan exclaimed.
Xi quickly covered his mouth and patted his arm, "I'm dying, why are you so loud? What if you wake Xiaoyi up?"
Yun Huaiyuan also knew that he was in the wrong, so he uttered two soft "heys" and then lowered his voice to confirm with his two sons.
Yun Qi nodded, "Yes, that's it. Our restaurant is a big hit, with a profit of over a thousand taels every month. Now it's almost two thousand taels a month."
"My goodness, how much silver does our family have now?" Xi's face was smiling like a chrysanthemum, but she still remembered to keep her voice low.
Several people turned their eyes to Yun Xi, and Yun Xi picked up a small booklet on the table. This was her account book.
After their family started doing business, they gave everyone in the family (except Xiaoyi) some pocket money every time they made money, and asked her to keep the rest, including Xiaoyi's share. She kept a notebook to record it all.
He flipped through a few pages and gave a number directly, "Two in total."
Xi covered her mouth with her hands, extremely excited.
The others were also grinning, obviously very happy.
Two years ago, their family was still living in a tight situation. Although they could earn some money by occasionally going up the mountain to hunt and selling the prey, all the money was lent to Zhao Junyi. They had to eat coarse food and no different from other villagers.
But after my daughter (younger sister) fell off a cliff and was injured, everything at home changed.
At first, my daughter (younger sister) behaved as usual and there was nothing abnormal. But after she had recovered from her injuries at home, she said that after falling off the cliff, she seemed to have met a god, who taught her a lot of skills.
Their family believed it without a doubt. Not long after Yun Yan and Yun Xi were born, an old man who looked like a god passed by their house and said that Yun Xi was destined to have a life and death tribulation, and as long as he could survive it, he would have a precious life.
Yun Huaiyuan and Xi even suspected that the fortune-teller was the immortal who taught Yun Xi the skills. It was most likely that he had predicted Yun Xi's fate, and then waited at the bottom of the cliff to save her and teach her various skills.
What they didn't know was that the reason why Yun Xi made up this excuse of being taught by gods was that when she was recuperating from her injuries, she often heard them say that it was the gods who blessed her and saved her from falling to her death.
At first, after she woke up from the bottom of the cliff, she wanted to travel the world alone. But after she received the original owner's memory, she found that the original owner's family was really good to her, so she decided to go home first.
She was thinking about staying at home and growing up quietly, but her family gave her white rice porridge with eggs instead of wild vegetable steamed buns every day, which made her a little touched.
The injuries were not serious, just scratches, but they looked a little shocking.
Her family members forced her to stay at home for a whole month, not allowing her to do anything with her daily life, and they almost had to change her pee and poop.
She saw it all and remembered it all, which made her heart break again and again.
Later, she heard Xi talk about the gods' blessing several times, and she began to have some ideas.
The ancients believed in Buddha and gods very much. Whenever she made some changes and improved her family's living conditions, she would attribute it to the gods.
After thinking about it for a few days, and when her injuries were completely healed, she made an excuse, saying that she fell off a cliff and was rescued by a fairy, who also taught her many skills.
When Xi heard this, she slapped her thigh and said, "Oh my God, mother said it was the gods who saved you, and it's true."
Next, she slowly revealed what she knew, and taught her family members to read and write, and also taught them martial arts. Anyway, she pushed all the blame on the gods and Taoist priests.
The family knew that she had got a great opportunity, and while they were happy, they did not dare to let outsiders know.
Even Yun Yi was kept secret from him.
When the family members learned to read and write, they said that they had secretly learned a few words from Zhao Junyi, and asked him not to tell anyone, for fear that the Zhao family would find out and not return the money.
Unexpectedly, these words really scared Yun Yi, and he really didn't talk nonsense in public.
When the family members were practicing martial arts, they said it was Yun Huaiyuan’s hunting skills, and Yun Yi took it seriously.
Later, Yun Xi asked her family to go to the city. They first set up a stall to sell snacks, then rented a shop to open a restaurant and then a hotel. Yun Xi made all the plans, and the brothers Yun Qi and Yun Yan executed them. Sometimes Yun Huaiyuan would also help.
When the two brothers were not at home, they always gave the excuse that they had gone to the city to work and earn money, and no one in the village noticed anything unusual.
To date, the restaurant has only been open for half a year, but it has made a profit of over ten thousand, which makes Yun Xi very happy.
She took out several small pieces of silver from a purse, about twenty taels in total, and gave them to Yun Huaiyuan and Xi.
"Mom and Dad, this is your pocket money for this month. I've already given my eldest and second brothers theirs."
On the way back, Yun Yan asked for pocket money, so Yun Xi divided it between them.
Yun Yan turned around and gave it to himself and asked him to keep it.
Yun Huaiyuan and Xi happily accepted it, and then took out the two hundred taels that the Zhao family had returned today and gave it to Yun Xi.
"My daughter, keep this money."
Yun Xi took it and was about to pick up the pen to write down the account. Xi Shi hurriedly spoke to stop him.
"No need to keep accounts, this is your private property, you can keep it in your own private vault."
"Yes, this money is returned by the Zhao family. Consider it as compensation to you. You can just keep it." Yun Huaiyuan added.
Yunqi and Yunyan also nodded in agreement. This is how it should be.
Yunxi felt the favor of her family members, and her dimples were filled with a happy smile.
