【Quick Wear】My Years as a Mother-in-law
Chapter 2: The Cowardly Mother-in-law Who Raised Her Head in Ancient Times 1
Yun Xi slowly opened her eyes, confused for a moment, then thought of the system task and couldn't help but frowned. Why was there no hint at all?
"System, system, are you there?"
"I'm here. You deal with these filial sons and grandsons first. We can deal with the rest when no one is around."
After saying this, he disappeared.
Yun Xi calmed down and said, "Got it."
"Mom, you finally woke up."
"It's so scary that mom suddenly fainted."
"Woo woo, it's good that mom wakes up. Grandma just passed away, we can't lose her."
"Mom, you have to be well. Your beloved granddaughter Yi'er is clamoring for her grandma."
……
Her ears were filled with the cries of several people, making her head buzz. Yun Xi couldn't help but rub her temples with her hands, lowered her eyebrows and looked at the group of people crying in front of her, and said weakly:
"Ahem, be quiet first!"
It suddenly became quiet.
"Mom? How are you feeling? Where's the doctor?" Seeing a handsome man staring at her eagerly, Yun Xi quickly got into character, "I'm fine. Let's go back first and send the doctor away."
"what?"
Qi Xian left with his family in confusion.
After sending the maids away, Yun Xi summoned the system in her mind, "System, is there any hint? I, your host, am completely confused right now."
The system said in a frivolous tone: "Host, I just read the story development. This mission is very exciting~"
"Exciting?" Yun Xi's nostrils flared slightly, and she leaned forward. "I love excitement the most. Tell me quickly."
"Host, don't be anxious. This mission is very difficult. Let me tell you, your deceased mother-in-law and your husband played a lot of tricks."
After the system retelling, Yun Xi clenched her fists.
The Qi family is now the largest silk merchant in South City. In the past, the Qi family was not so prosperous. The original owner fell in love with Qi Ming, the eldest son of the Qi family, because of her silkworm breeding skills. She married into the Qi family and achieved a class leap. However, the original owner's cowardly character made her husband more and more tired of her. After getting the original owner's silkworm breeding skills, he was unwilling to pretend for a moment, and he took concubines and kept mistresses, causing a lot of trouble.
The most outrageous thing is that for the sake of a son with a concubine, Qi Ming secretly exchanged his own daughter for his concubine, and exchanged his concubine's son for the original owner to become his own son.
If it weren't for the imperial court's extremely strict regulations prohibiting marriage between nobles and commoners, the original owner might really have been replaced by that concubine.
The original owner's excellent mother-in-law, Qi Cao, was no less despicable than Qi Ming. The Qi family jumped from obscurity to become a wealthy business, which made Qi Cao, who came from a poor background, quickly become arrogant. She was dissatisfied with everything all day long, and she was always complaining about everything. She took control of the Qi family's housekeeper power and took advantage of her seniority. She was extremely mean and loved to bully the original owner. She even found an old lover.
The original owner's eldest daughter-in-law was the mother-in-law's younger daughter, and Qing was waiting for Qi Cao's death to take over the housekeeping power. The younger daughter-in-law was a distant relative of the mother-in-law's natal family, and she and the heroine were not on the same page at all...
Yun Xi: (?????????)
Very good, a sky-falling start.
The original owner was easy to bully, but I am not. I have been feeling aggrieved for so many years, and now I am going to make some trouble.
System: "As for the original owner, ever since he was no longer oppressed by his mother-in-law, he has become very proud and uninhibited, acting as if nothing had happened. He has driven the Qi family half to death, and even relegated them to the ranks of second-rate merchants in South City."
"The dragon slayer eventually becomes the dragon himself." Yun Xi shook her head and sighed, but was puzzled. "So my mission is to change the fate of the Qi family and make them prosperous? Why? Is there anything special about the Qi family?"
The system said seriously, "Host, I don't know about that. This is what the mission says. I will do my best to help you."
Yun Xi had doubts in her heart, but she put them aside for the moment and asked about the reward. "Okay, I understand. Tell me about the mission reward."
The system scrolled through the screen and spoke to Yun Xi's mind, "After this mission is successful, the host will be rewarded with ten years of life, ten space disks, and five kilograms of gold. If the mission is completed perfectly, an additional ordinary teleportation talisman will be awarded."
Yun Xi became interested, "What is the use of a normal teleportation talisman?"
"Ordinary teleportation talismans can be used to teleport anywhere within a certain time and space, but cannot be used to teleport across time and space." The system explained after looking at the talisman description.
"Oh! So that's how it is. Not bad, not bad. There is gold in the reward. Could it be that gold is the universal currency in all time and space?" Yun Xi lowered his brows and thought, muttering.
"That's not the case. For example, in the world of immortal cultivation, the world of beasts, and the end of the world, gold is not a universal currency. If you can go to these three realms to complete tasks in the future, you will be rewarded with corresponding currency. You don't have to worry." The system believed that it was very knowledgeable and spoke eloquently.
Yun Xi silently took note, "System, where's your reward? What reward will you get if we complete the task together?"
The system didn't hide it, "I can get points by completing tasks, and the points can help me level up."
"So that's how it is." Yun Xi understood and invited people in first before talking about other things. She was so hungry. She didn't know how long the original owner hadn't eaten. In the world, eating is the most important thing.
"Winter Bamboo."
Shouting outside the door, Yun Xi felt sorry for the original owner's misfortune and was angry at him for not fighting back. The original owner's behavior of letting himself go was a release of long-suppressed emotions, but unfortunately it was too much of a release.
Just as I was thinking about it, Dongzhu lifted the curtain and walked in.
The original owner had four maids, but only Dongzhu could be trusted. Dongzhu was sent by the Yun family to take care of her, and also to help the Yun family. The most important thing was that Dongzhu did not have a body contract, was not a slave, and was not controlled by the Qi Cao family.
The indentures of the other three maids, Chuntao, Xiahua and Qiuye, are all in the hands of Qi Cao. They have little respect for the original owner and should be thinking about how to escape at this time. After all, who can believe that this cowardly old lady can hold the power of housekeeper?
Dong Zhu, who was standing outside the door, glared at the other three maids, then pushed the door open with a slight smile and said softly, "Madam, Dong Zhu is here, watching over you the whole time. You haven't eaten since you fainted last night. Do you want food?"
"Well, help me up and bring the mung bean cake. I want to fill my stomach first." Yun Xi smacked her lips. Her mouth was dry and her stomach was empty. She was so hungry that she felt anxious and short of breath.
This body is already 39 years old, not young anymore. It should have hypoglycemia. I feel so panicked at this moment.
"Hey!" Dong Zhu helped Yun Xi lean against the bed and poured her a glass of warm water before bringing her the mung bean cake. Finally, he shouted outside, "Serve the meal~"
Chuntao curled her lips and reluctantly went to the courtyard gate to ask the maids to go to the kitchen to serve the meal.
"Dongzhu, are those three people outside being lazy?"
Yun Xi wolfed down two pieces of dessert and finally felt much better. The three maids hadn't come in to serve her for such a long time, which showed how lazy they were.
"That's right, old lady, you have to pay attention to the three of them. I heard them plotting to work for the eldest lady last night. I don't believe you can get the power of housekeeper." Dong Zhu, the clever little guy, took the opportunity to complain.
Yun Xi nodded, "Don't worry, the housekeeper power is absolutely mine. If you work hard, I will give you a raise when the time comes. Don't worry about them, I will take care of it myself."
Dong Zhu found that the old lady seemed to have become a little strong, but she was happy to see it happen. She could not continue to be bullied in the past. She had to stand up. She came to the Qi family with a mission, and the most important thing was to protect the old lady.
