The Empress traveled through time and space, and she fought for supremacy in the troubled times

After the New Year, the blacksmith shop's business is getting better and better.

So Yun Youde bought the shop next door and hired a few apprentices.

Now the Yun family blacksmith shop has become quite popular and business is getting better and better.

On this day, the Yun family received a big order.

The dinner table.

Yun Youde described today's events vividly.

"One hundred broadswords, made of good quality material, five taels of silver each, and the deposit has already been paid."

He held up his hand and raised a finger.

"One hundred taels of silver!"

As soon as these words came out, Lin Huixin and Yun Jingxian gasped, "So many!"

One hundred taels of silver, that was almost five years’ income, and it was also a deposit.

Seeing their expressions, Yun Youde felt a sense of satisfaction.

In fact, he had the same expression when he just received the deposit, full of disbelief.

"After this batch is finished and sent over, there will be a balance of four hundred taels."

Yun Jingxian's eyes widened. "One hundred taels, four hundred taels, wow, Dad, that adds up to five hundred taels, that's too much."

"Hahaha, yes, then you can have new clothes to wear and eat meat every day."

When he said this, his honest face was full of smiles.

Isn't this what makes people happy? A harmonious family and a little extra money.

Yun Jingxian's eyes widened, "Wow, meat."

When the shop first opened, we could only eat meat during the Chinese New Year.

Lin Huixin smiled and looked at Yun Youde, "Husband, whose family is this? Why is it so generous?"

"The Liu family in the east of the city."

"The Liu family, aren't they the wealthy businessmen here?"

The Liu family is a well-known merchant family here, doing business in cloth and restaurants.

"Yes, it's their house."

Looking at the person who was eating beside him, Yun Youde smiled clearly, "Miemei, after I get the balance payment, Dad will find you a teacher."

Yun Zhi raised her head and found that the three of them were looking at her. She pursed her lips and said, "Dad, no need. I have learned a lot from my brother. I don't need to hire a teacher."

Yun Jingxian interrupted, "Yes! My sister is very smart. She can memorize an article after just one or two glances. She's even better than the best student in our area. He still needs several days to memorize it."

Unexpectedly, Father Yun's face turned slightly pale when he heard this, and his grip on the wooden chopsticks tightened.

"Mingmei, Dad hopes you grow up peacefully. It's okay if you don't become outstanding."

"If Meimei doesn't want to invite the Master, then don't invite her."

Yun Zhi raised her head and looked at him. Which parent doesn't like their children to be outstanding?

Just like her mother, she would become hysterical if she failed to complete the task.

"Just tell Dad what you want, and I'll buy it for you. I'm rich now."

Yun Zhi nodded gently, "Yeah."

A few days later, Yun Zhi unexpectedly received a safety lock from her father.

"Mingmiao, grow up safely."

It took nearly two months for Yun Youde and the apprentices to work hard and finally forge the one hundred swords.

After receiving the final payment, the family indulged themselves in a rare luxury and went to a nearby restaurant for lunch.

Good things come one after another.

A few days later, the escort agency also came to order one hundred swords and fifty daggers.

The Yun family blacksmith shop is quite famous in the county.

With its decent craftsmanship and exquisite style, it attracted a group of people to buy it.

How could the styles not be exquisite? After all, Yun Zhi had used or seen those styles before.

What bad thing could pass the Empress's eyes?

Just when the Yun family blacksmith shop was at its peak, it was disrupted by a group of people.

One day, early in the morning, as soon as the shop opened for business, a large group of people suddenly crowded in.

"Everyone, please judge for yourself. I am an unfilial son who neglects his parents. This brings misfortune to our family!"

As he said that, he sat down in the store lobby and started crying.

The neighbors who heard the noise gathered around to watch the excitement.

One of the men, who was in his twenties or thirties, looked at Yun Youde angrily and said, "Brother, how could you treat mother like this?"

A woman holding a child nearby grumbled in dissatisfaction, "That's right, big brother, your parents raised you to this age, and you are so unfilial."

The old lady sitting on the ground was still crying, "Now that you have money, you don't care about us old people. I raised you with so much effort, and this is how you treat us."

The old man standing beside him also sighed and said, "Big brother, please don't be so cruel for the sake of your parents raising you."

As they talked one after another, it seemed as if Yun Youde was nailed to the pillar of shame for being unfilial.

The neighbors gathered around and said, "I've been with their family for so long, and I think they're a very nice family."

“Yes, the people are very enthusiastic.”

"You can only judge a person by his appearance, not his heart. I don't think he's that good. I haven't seen him go home once in all these years. He always goes to honor his father-in-law and doesn't care about his own parents."

This was the scene Yun Zhi saw when she came out.

"Dad? Mom? Are you still my family? Have you forgotten what you did?"

"Would a close relative do something like you? You're here to mess up my shop, which has just started to recover. Is there any parent who would treat me like this?"

The old woman got up from the ground and said, "What can we do? We raised you up, and this is how you treat your parents. You are such an unfilial son."

"What kind of parents are you? Besides, we have no relationship anymore. We already signed the document severing our relationship with the village head a long time ago."

When he said this, Yun Youde almost roared, his dark face was full of anger and grievance, and his eyes were slightly bulging.

The drastic changes in emotions made his chest heave rapidly.

The old man was displeased by Yun Youde's shouting, "What are you talking about? You unfilial son, how dare you talk to your parents like that?"

"Yes, big brother, how can you be so heartless? You don't recognize us, and we recognize us, but why do you treat our parents like this?"

Yun Zhi looked at the people in front of him and spoke with a righteous look on his face, but he couldn't hide the greed in his eyes.

I'm afraid he heard that the blacksmith shop is making money now, so he came here to make trouble.

Yun Zhi walked over and tugged at the corner of Yun's father's clothes. "Dad, tell us what happened back then and let the neighbors help judge for you."

Looking at his calm daughter, Yun Youde's mood calmed down a little.

He took a deep breath and told everything that happened that year.

Yun's father was also a foolishly filial man back then. He worked most of the family's fields by himself.

He almost did all the work of sowing, harvesting in autumn, buying livestock, raising livestock, and mowing the grass by himself.

One person did the work of several people just because his parents said that he was the eldest brother and should take care of his younger siblings, which is what the eldest brother should do.

The whole family clung to him like leeches, sucking his blood.

The money earned from odd jobs was also given to my parents for safekeeping.

In this way, when he was twenty-one years old, a new house was built at home, his second brother got married, and his third sister also found a husband of her dreams.

But he has reached this age and has nothing. At an age when most people would get married and have children as young as 17 or 18, he is still single.

When other people are at this age, their children will run away.

At that time, Yun's father never thought of resenting his parents. After all, he was the eldest brother and had to work harder.

Until he fell seriously ill, no one in the Yun family cared about him.

He just threw the man on the bed without looking for a doctor, fearing that he would waste money and never come back.

No one even came to take care of him, leaving him to wait for death in a rotten straw hut.

It was such a shame that while he was sweating profusely, his family was laughing and chatting happily.

It was as if he was not a member of the family. For twenty-one years, he was just an outsider.

Thanks to God's mercy, he actually survived.

After he recovered from his illness, he made up his mind, so he found the village head and signed a letter of severance with his family.

Because he didn't take away the money he had earned over the years, and left penniless.

The Yun family felt that he couldn't make much money with his poor health, and he had alienated his family, so both parties happily signed the document to sever ties.

Moreover, I can receive alimony every month, so it’s not a loss.

After receiving the letter of severance, Yun Youde came to the town alone without taking anything with him and became Lin Xuehai's apprentice.

Due to his outstanding performance, he married Lin Huixin, the daughter of Lin Xuehai, at the age of 23.

After he was released, he would have someone deliver the money that was due to the Yun family every year.

I originally thought that this would be the way my life would be.

Unexpectedly, his business in the town has been booming because of Yun Zhi.

After hearing the news, they came here at the instigation of their second son in Hexi Village, and the current situation has occurred.

Yun Youde told the sad story word by word, and his eyes became slightly red as he spoke.

After hearing the whole story, the people also understood what was going on.

"Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. You're treating your son like an enemy. Your whole family is sucking his blood."

"Anyone who says it's not true will doubt whether the eldest son of the Yun family is their biological son."

"Now they are making trouble because they see they are making money again. How could their parents do such a thing?"

"No wonder I felt they had shifty eyes just now. Turns out they have bad intentions."

"Aunt Cuihua, that's not what you just said."

"I was just deceived by them."

At this moment, the old woman's eyes showed a hint of retreat, but when she thought about the money the old family had earned during this period, she became determined again.

"Boss, how could you frame your parents?"

Hearing his mother's words, the second son quickly took over the conversation, "Yes, big brother, I can testify that these are all lies. It was clearly you who suddenly abandoned our parents and ran away. We have been looking for you for years."

Yun Zhi didn't want to listen to this farce anymore. "Dad, bring out the document and we'll know who's telling the truth. If they're not satisfied, they can go to the county magistrate to have a say."

"You little girl, why are you butting in on us adults when we're talking?"

Seeing his daughter being yelled at, Yun Youde pulled her behind him and glared at his blood brother, "Did my daughter say anything wrong?"

Yun Zhi pulled Yun Youde's clothes and stuck her head out. She took a look around and saw a mess.

"Let's go directly to the county government office and calculate our losses. If we can't pay, we can go to jail."

The most destructive thing for uneducated people is going to jail.

The old lady was already staring at Yun Zhi, "What did you say, little girl?"

"Dad and you guys have nothing to do with each other anymore. Don't you have to pay for breaking our things? There's no such good thing in the world. Go to the county government office."

In fact, they are all made of iron, so it is not easy to break them. They just fall to the ground and fall everywhere.

Moreover, Yun Zhi's words were also meant to scare them. The county magistrate here was in charge of things there. As long as he was given enough money, he could turn white into black.

But it's more than enough to fool those who don't understand.

The old man who had been silent just now spoke up, "I just said I couldn't come, but you insisted on coming. Now it's okay. It wasn't me who did it anyway, so I'll leave first."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

The rest of the people looked at each other and no longer said anything about being unfilial.

Afraid of losing money and even more afraid of going to jail, he ran away in shame without saying a word.

Now we know who is right and who is wrong.

Seeing that there was nothing exciting to watch, everyone gradually dispersed.

"Wow, sister, you are so awesome. You let them go right away. You shouldn't have let them go. Let them all go to jail."

Yun Jingxian clenched his little hands and spoke angrily.

"You really think they can go to jail."

"Huh? Can't you?"

Seeing that Yun Zhi didn't answer him, he squatted down to pick up the weapon on the ground and hurriedly pulled her up.

"Brother, come pick it up."

Lin Huixin looked at them with amusement and pulled them apart, "Your father and I can pick it up."

After a while, he picked up everything on the ground and put it away.

Yun Youde walked over to Yun Zhi and said, "Meimei was really awesome just now. She chased the bad guys away. Thank you, Meimei, for protecting Daddy."

Yun Youde is the kind of nice guy who never quarrels with others. When he does, he tends to get red in the face and stutter.

As a result, the daughter sent the man away after just a few words.

"Yeah, no big deal."

Yun Zhi still couldn't get used to the tone they used to coax a child, and she would be praised for several days for doing even the smallest thing.

But what she didn't notice was that the coldness in her eyes slowly melted away and the tips of her ears turned slightly red.
