"Also, that is, I asked Wang Daya to buy two silver hairpins for your grandmother two days ago." Zhang whispered.

But she herself didn't quite believe what she said.

Zhao Pingxiu snorted coldly, "Did you offer it?"

Zhang hesitated, "Yes, your grandmother pulled it directly from my head..."

Zhao Pingxiu was so angry, "I told you to go back and ask for money, but you actually gave money away, you spendthrift woman. If it weren't for Jun Yi, I would have divorced you."

Zhao Junyi frowned upon hearing this, and his good mood was ruined. He originally wanted to tell his family that he had money, but now he changed his mind.

It seems that from now on, his mother can no longer manage the family’s money, otherwise all the family assets will be taken to his maternal grandparents’ home.

He said in a cold voice, "Mom, don't go to your grandparents' house if you have nothing to do in the future, otherwise you can just stay there."

The meaning of this statement was obvious. He also agreed with his father's divorce. Generally, only divorced women would stay in their parents' home.

Zhang was shocked. Seeing that Zhao Junyi did not seem to be faking it, she felt nervous and promised again and again, "Okay, I'll listen to you and I won't go there anymore."

Zhao Junyi then relaxed his expression and said, "Okay, Mom, go call my younger sister and brother over. I brought back some food, let them come and try it together."

Hearing him say this, Zhang and Zhao Pingxiu both looked at the big basket he brought back.

Zhao Pingxiu asked curiously, "What did you bring, such a big basket?"

Zhao Junyi smiled and said, "Today, a classmate invited me to the Qixinglou for dinner. They don't allow wasting of food there, so you have to pack up what you don't finish. These are them. It's hot now, so the food will go bad easily. Ask my younger sister and brother to come over and eat together, so that we can all try the food at the Qixinglou."

When Zhang heard this, she immediately smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go call them."

With that said, he walked out.

After she left, Zhao Junyi looked at Zhao Pingxiu and said, "Dad, don't let mom manage the family's money from now on."

Zhao Pingxiu nodded, "That's exactly what I was thinking."

As he spoke, he took out a purse from his bosom and handed it to Zhao Junyi, "This is what I asked the tribesmen for when I returned to the village today. No one is rich, so we only collected a dozen taels."

After saying that, he sighed deeply.

Zhao Junyi didn't answer. "Dad, return all of these. My classmate has already agreed to lend me the money to buy the yard. I will go and transfer the ownership of the yard to you in a few days."

"Really?" Zhao Pingxiu was overjoyed.

Zhao Junyi nodded.

Zhao Pingxiu laughed loudly, and the gloom of the past two days was instantly swept away. "Well, well, my son is still amazing."

Zhang sent someone back to see Zhao Pingxiu so happy, and couldn't help asking, "Boss, what are you so happy about?"

Zhao Pingxiu glanced at Zhang, and the smile on his face faded a little. He snorted coldly and did not respond to her.

Zhao Pingxiu waited until Zhao Ruyun and Zhao Junming came over before he told everyone about this.

Now the others couldn't help but cheer out loud.

When they carefully opened the lid of the bamboo basket in Qixinglou and looked at the delicious meals packed in bamboo tubes, the family felt even better.

Just as the food was placed on the table, the door was pushed open from the outside. Wang Yuyan leaned against the door frame and looked at the Zhao family with a half-smile, "Oh, what's the happy news? Why are you all so happy?"

His eyes fell on the table, and he raised his eyebrows. "Are you eating alone behind my back? Don't forget, I give you one or two taels of silver for food every month. Isn't this unkind of you?"

After saying that, he sat down at the table without caring about anything.

The Zhao family was in a good mood at the moment and no one bothered with her.

In fact, I didn't have time to argue with her. We were all busy working. If I said a few more words, I would have to eat a few less bites. It was not worth it.

The next morning, Zhao Junyi went to the academy and asked for leave from the teacher with the same excuse as before, and then went to the dental clinic.

At the same time, Yun Xi and Yun Yan were sitting in the carriage preparing to return to Gan Tang Village.

I originally wanted to hire a carriage, but the teahouse owner said that the teahouse already had carriages, so I didn't need to hire another one and could use it directly.

Yun Xi thought about it, now that the teahouse was hers, the carriage was naturally hers as well, so there was really no need to spend extra money.

In the carriage, Yun Xi sat in the back carriage, while Yun Yan sat outside the carriage, trying to get close to the coachman.

When he saw the coachman pulling the reins, he felt itchy and wanted to try driving a carriage.

The driver was a middle-aged man in his thirties named Guo Wei. As his name suggests, he looked very strong. He was big and strong, and his physique was very strong.

He has a full beard and speaks in a loud voice.

He asked Yun Yan loudly, "Have you ever driven a carriage before?"

Yun Yan shook his head truthfully.

"But I am a good driver of the ox cart."

Guo Wei laughed, "Being able to drive an ox cart does not necessarily mean you can drive a horse cart. Oxen are gentle and have a strong pace, so you don't need too many skills, you just need to master the direction and rhythm.

But driving a horse-drawn carriage is different. The horses are fast and have fierce temperaments, so the driver needs to be skilled. He needs to know how to control the horses and be familiar with the structure and performance of the carriage. "

Yun Yan listened very carefully, and seeing this, Guo Wei explained even more carefully.

Seeing that Guo Wei seemed to be driving very easily, Yun Yan felt eager to give it a try.

Guo Wei was quite generous. "Okay, I'll let you try, but you have to wait until there's no one around."

"Okay, thank you Uncle Guo." Yun Yan thanked him excitedly.

As they were getting further and further away from the city gate, Guo Wei walked for a while and didn't see any pedestrians on the road, so he threw the reins to Yun Yan.

Yun Xi also lifted the curtain of the carriage, looking like she was there to watch the fun.

As soon as he got the reins, Yun Yan felt that it was different from the ox cart. He was clearly doing what Guo Wei said, but the horse simply did not listen to him.

The horse, which had been trotting steadily just now, was now slowing down, and finally stopped and started eating weeds on the side of the road.

"Go, go, go, go, go..."

Yun Yan pulled the reins several times but it was no use.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Guo Wei laughed so hard that he fell forward and backward, and Yun Xi couldn't help laughing either.

Yun Yan suddenly felt embarrassed, and imitated Guo Wei's previous way of driving the carriage, flicking the whip and pulling the reins hard.

This time the horse did move, but as if in pain, it neighed and rushed forward.

The three people in the carriage leaned back uncontrollably.

Yun Xi quickly grabbed the edge of the carriage to avoid falling into it.

"Uu——"

Yun Yan pulled the reins tightly, trying to stop the horse.

But the horse ran faster and faster, and the carriage was shaking violently. Yun Xi sat in the carriage and supported herself against the inner wall to avoid being thrown out.

"Hurry, give me the reins." Guo Wei shouted.

But Yun Yan and Guo Wei were both shaken to the ground. When Yun Yan threw the reins to him, Guo Wei was shaken and couldn't grab the reins at all.

The horse continued to run forward quickly.

What was even more terrible was that at this moment, they saw a pedestrian walking in the middle of the road ahead. Yun Yan was so anxious that he shouted loudly, "Get out of the way, get out of the way quickly."

The people in front heard the shout and turned around. When they saw the oncoming carriage, they were so frightened that they wanted to move to the side but couldn't move their legs.

Seeing that the carriage was about to hit the horse, Yun Xi in the carriage froze, and was about to jump out of the carriage and onto the horse's back, when she saw Guo Wei leap up and was already on the horse's back.

"Whoa--" Ma Wei pulled the reins hard.

The horse neighed and stopped just one meter away from the passerby in front.
