"Dad, I'm going to the imperial capital. If I want to expand my business, I have to go to other cities."

Old Man Yun said to Yun Tao earnestly, "Tao'er, Daddy is doing this for your own good. Why don't you listen to Daddy? When you were a child, you listened to Daddy the most. How come now that you've grown up, you're not listening anymore?"

Old Man Yun was very sad.

"Tao'er, can't you think about it again?"

"Dad, I still need to take Erniu to the capital to see a doctor. Erniu hasn't been in good health recently, and the doctors in the capital are much better."

"Tao'er, come with Dad to his room for a moment."

Yuntao followed her cheap father, wondering if he knew something.

Otherwise, why would they always prevent me from going to the imperial capital? That is the imperial capital. If other people in the village knew that their children were going to develop in the imperial capital, they would be so happy that their ancestors would be very grateful.

The two of them walked one after the other in silence.

Finally arrived at Old Man Yun’s room.

It wasn't a long journey, but Yuntao felt like it took a very long time.

"Tao'er, take a seat."

After saying this, Old Man Yun never spoke again. He just kept smoking his pipe with his head down, and no one knew what he was thinking about.

Yun Tao just sat there doing nothing, and couldn't guess what her cheap father was thinking. Yun Tao couldn't stand it anymore and was about to sneak away.

I was stopped by Old Man Yun all of a sudden."

Where are you going? What's the matter? Are you afraid that I will lock you up and not let you leave?"

Yun Tao whispered, “Dad, it’s not like that.

"Dad, just tell me what you want to say. I have things to do. I'm very busy. I can't just sit here with you like this forever, Dad."

Yun Tao looked at Old Man Yun with resentment.

Old Man Yun sighed heavily.

"Tao'er, actually you are not my daughter, even though your mother brought you from your aunt's house. But I know in my heart that you are not your aunt's child either."

After saying these words, Old Man Yun paused again, smoking his pipe and remaining silent as before.

Yuntao was almost going to death with anxiety. Why did this cheap old dad speak so annoyingly? Everything he said made people guess. She felt like a cat was scratching her heart. It was so annoying.

"Dad, can you please explain it clearly at once? Don't be so hesitant."

Yun Tao looked at Old Man Yun with gritted teeth.

Old Man Yun was in a heavy mood to begin with, and he found Yun Tao's current expression very funny. He couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Tao'er, you are indeed the same as before, you are still my Tao'er."

After Yun Laotian finished speaking, he couldn't help crying.

Yun Tao rolled his eyes, and people who didn’t know would think that he was bullying him.

"Dad, if you don't tell me, I will really leave."

Old Man Yun immediately stopped Yun Tao with his pipe.

"You are just impatient. Why are you in such a hurry? Even your father is not in a hurry."

Yun Tao was speechless. "You are not in a hurry because you are a freeloader. But it's different for me. I have many people to support and a family to feed."

"This matter started more than 30 years ago."

Old Man Yun talked to Yun Tao while smoking his pipe.

Old Man Yun was busy for an hour, and Yun Tao also learned about her life experience from Old Man Yun's words, but it was a little different from what her stepmother said in the letter. But overall it was almost the same, but it was unknown whether her mother was innocent or not.

Maybe I need to ask my mother about the truth of this matter to get the real answer.

Yun Tao also told her father the truth, "Dad, I actually knew about this a long time ago. Do you remember the jewelry box you gave me before? There is a letter from my mother in it, which tells me everything about my life."

Now it was Old Man Yun's turn to be surprised, "What? Your mother told you."

"Yes, Dad."

"The reason I didn't tell you was because I thought you didn't know about this matter and I didn't want to involve you. I didn't expect that, Dad, you actually knew about it."

"Hey, this matter is long and complicated. Anyway, Dad doesn't want you to go to the imperial capital. It's too dangerous. And I think the money you earn in the capital is enough to spend. For a family like us, we can't spend it all in a lifetime."

Yun Tao knew that her cheap father was worried about her, but she was the head of the family after all. Even if she didn't go to the capital to do business, she still had to check on Erniu's health.

Yuntao felt overwhelmed when she thought about it.

Old Man Yun also knew that he couldn't change Yun Tao's decision, and there was nothing he could do. He could only accept it. Alas, his children were old now, and he couldn't control them anymore.

Yun Tao listened to Old Man Yun muttering there and just ignored him and walked away.

After a few days, the Wang family had prepared everything they needed to take to the imperial capital.

Yun Tao looked at Yun Yi and asked, "Would you like to go to the imperial capital with us?"

Yun Yi took a breath of cold air.

"Aunt, I lied to you. When I went to the imperial capital, I remembered everything I had forgotten before. But I didn't tell you about this."

Yun Tao was very happy, "Yun Yi, it's a good thing that you remembered, so you can go home. And you don't have to use my last name anymore, how great."

Yun Yi was not happy. "Aunt, there are many things that I cannot tell you. It is not good for me if you know too much. I cannot go to the imperial capital with you. I have enemies in the imperial capital. I don't know if they recognized me the last time they went there."

"It's safer for me not to go, and I can also take care of her at home. A family still needs a man to look after the house, and you won't feel at ease if it's an outsider."

Yun Tao thought about it and realized that this was the truth.

Yun Yi thought about the maid who had seen him in the imperial capital and the young lady next to him. He hoped that they didn’t recognize him, because he was very different from his past self.

"Okay, you can just take care of them at home."

After Ku Ju came to see the lady but failed to get the money, the lady's older sister came to see her today.

"Sister, how could you do this to me?"

"How have I treated you? Have I not treated you well? The clothes you wear and the food and drinks you eat at home are all given by me. Look at what you are wearing. Is there any girl in the village who is dressed as well as you?"

Shu Lan herself said shamelessly, "Sister, these are the fabrics you don't want. If there are fabrics you like, would you be willing to take them home and give them to me?"

The lady was speechless.

This is my own sister, and she actually thinks of me like this.

"Hmph, go away. I know why you came to see me, and I don't have any money to give you."

"Big sister, can you bear to see me get married without a dowry?"

"I can't bear it. Of course I can bear it. I didn't have a dowry when I married your brother-in-law. Why can I have no dowry? Why can't you be like me?"

Shu Lan felt very aggrieved, "But, but sister, today is different from the past. Now I have a brother-in-law who has a lot of money."

"You said it was your brother-in-law who had the money, not your sister. If you have the guts, go find your brother-in-law."

Shulan was too embarrassed to go to Daniu. It was embarrassing to talk about this matter. Her family had received dozens of dollars in betrothal gifts, but her mother didn't want to give her a dowry and wanted her eldest sister to pay for it.

It’s all mom’s fault. She offended my eldest sister. Otherwise, why wouldn’t she be unwilling to give it to me?
