【Quick Wear】My Years as a Mother-in-law

Hit someone?

"Were the injuries on them caused by the Uncle Lu you mentioned? The father of the children?"

Tao Yao sneered, "Oh, aren't you most happy for Uncle Lu to educate the children? Why are you pretending?"

"Tell me about what happened before. I can't remember much since I had the fever."

"Mom? Don't you remember me?"

At this time, the little girl who had been lying on the ground without saying a word suddenly spoke. Her voice was small and fragile, like a kitten that was about to die at any time.

"Xiao Wu, don't be afraid. Sister Tao is here. Come, have some cakes."

Taoyao took out a paper bag from her bosom and opened it carefully. There were a few broken snacks inside. She pinched a small piece and fed it to Xiaowu. Xiaowu opened his mouth and ate the snack in small bites.

Yun Xi said seriously: "Tell me everything, I will take care of them, otherwise I will have no choice but to leave."

"Leave? Where to go? Huilinfang has been surrounded by soldiers. You can only leave after the imperial physician has confirmed that there is nothing wrong with your body." Tao Yao snorted.

Yun Xi was not annoyed. "Where are the people here? Have they all been released?"

"No, I went on a business trip with Uncle Lu. I guess I don't know what happened here."

Although Tao Yao was annoyed that she had joined Uncle Lu in abusing the child, after the analysis just now, she also had some doubts.

"A merchant? He probably ran away. What merchant would want to tear the house clean? There is definitely something wrong here, maybe even a conspiracy. You know, it is difficult for ordinary people to give birth to children with peerless beauty. Look at these five people." Based on her many years of experience in reading novels, Yun Xi always felt that things here were not that simple.

It is true that the original owner never had children, but where did these children come from?

"What should I do?"

Taoyao was anxious.

Yun Xi looked at her seriously, "Do you live in Huilinfang too?"

Tao Yao shook her head, "No, my home is in Taolifang next door."

"How did you get in?" Yun Xi was curious. The place was closed, but he was still able to get in. What true love!

Tao Yao bit her lip and said, "There's a small path. What are you going to do?"

"Of course we have to leave. We can't stay here. The children just have a common cold, not the plague. They will recover soon." Yun Xi wiped her face. "Besides, there is nothing here. If we don't leave, we will starve to death."

Taoyao was very worried, "But they haven't woken up yet."

Yun Xi made a prompt decision, "Take the medicine again and wake them up to follow us."

He took out some cold medicine from his pocket and fed it to a few people. The awake Xiaowu chewed it up and swallowed it stupidly.

"Xiaowu, is it bitter?"

"Sister Tao, it's so hard."

Xiaowu grinned, but his facial features were wrinkled, it was really painful.

Taoyao quickly stuffed snacks into his mouth, and Xiaowu felt much better after eating the snacks.

Yun Xi woke up the three sleeping boys and one girl, "Get up, we need to leave here as soon as possible."

Lu Daluer, Lu San and Lu Simei woke up in a daze and didn't understand the situation for a while.

"Taoyao, you hold Xiaowu, and I'll hold Xiaosi. The three of you put on your down jackets, wrap yourself in your duvets, and get ready to leave."

Yun Xi put out the fire with water, picked up the confused fourth girl, and still held the bucket in her hand. There was nothing she could do, as this was the family's last possession.

Tao Yao nodded, and seeing the confused looks on Lu Da and the other two's faces, she hurried to help study the down jacket. Yun Xi had no choice but to help put on the down jacket and tie the down quilt on Lu Da's shoulders and waist.

"Okay, let's go."

Tao Yao led the way. According to her, Huilinfang was originally a small village. When the capital was expanded several decades ago, this village was included. There were a total of thirty households, and they usually made a living by farming and hunting outside the city.

Twenty years ago, Lu Zheng fled here and settled down in Huilinfang. He later married the only daughter Yun Xi.

"...My home is in Taolifang next door. There are only 200 households in the neighborhood, which is far superior to Huilinfang."

Tao Yao led her people south to the houses at the junction of the two blocks, and took everyone into the innermost dilapidated house. They went down from the cellar of the house and walked through the tunnel for a few minutes before arriving at Tao Yao's house.

"That's amazing! They even dug a tunnel."

"Don't worry about it for now. While my family is away, go to the empty room next door. At least that house has a roof."

Tao Yao peeked out into the street and observed for a while, then took them to the house next door. The house was a brick and tile house that had not been lived in for many years. She quickly pried open the iron lock and asked them to go in as soon as possible.

"Don't make too much noise. I'll go get you some food. Wait until the storm has died down, then you can come out."

Yun Xi waved her hand to reassure her, having her own plans in mind.

Taoyao turned around and went out to lock the door. After returning to her own yard, she took out an old clay pot, filled it with some food and passed it over the courtyard wall.

After Yun Xi took it, she opened the woodshed and said, "Lu Da, are you guys awake? I'll clean the room first before you go in."

Lu Da stared at her, as if trying to make a flower bloom, and asked tentatively: "You won't hit us anymore?"

"No more beatings. I was deceived by your so-called father before. I won't beat you anymore. Live your life without worries."

Yun Xi acted quickly. After cleaning the empty woodshed, Tao Yao threw a lot of straw from next door. Lu Da and his younger brothers and sisters struggled to spread the straw on the ground.

Yun Xi spread two down quilts on the ground, leaving one for covering herself. Paired with her down jacket, it could barely keep out the cold.

"I'm going out for a while to see if I can buy this house. I'll also buy some food and daily necessities. Lu Da, you take good care of my brothers and sisters."

The five people from Lu University were very wary of her, but Yun Xi didn't care. Her first task at the moment was to survive, and her second task was to find out the situation of her original body.

"Mom, do you have money?"

Four-year-old Xiaowu asked in a soft voice while curling his head in his duvet.

"I saved some secretly, don't worry."

After saying that, he asked Taoyao to open the door and left.

Taolifang is located in the north city. According to experience, the capital should have a structure where the east is rich and the west is noble, while the south is poor and the north is humble. Of course, it may not be the case, which has nothing to do with Yunxi.

After leaving Taolifang, Yun Xi asked for directions along the way and found the government office.

The wind behind him was blowing non-stop, making him feel cold from head to toe. Looking at the majestic yamen, Yun Xi hesitated. All yamen face south, so if you don't have money, don't come in.

Otherwise, let's find the gold first.

Yun Xi looked for a while and turned to leave, then found a money shop with two taels of gold in her pocket and went in.

It was too cold, and the bank clerks were all warming themselves by the fire at the counter, so no one paid any attention to her.

"Hey, man, let me change some money."

Yun Xi had no choice but to take the initiative to say hello.

The man lazily said, "Change money? What do you want?"

"this."

Yun Xi suppressed her temper and opened her hands.

Seeing that it was gold, the guy raised his eyebrows in surprise, moved his body and stood up.

"One ounce of gold for twelve ounces of silver. How much gold do you have?"
