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

"Well, you hide in my house first, and when Lord Renyuan comes back, you can go and talk to him about it." Yun Xi thought about it and realized that officials in ancient times seemed to have to return to the capital to report on their work every once in a while.

"Yes! Uncle will be back this year, and he's almost here. I'll wait for him." As he spoke, he took off the silver hairpin on his head and handed it to Yun Xi, "This is for accommodation and food expenses."

She doesn't dare go back now.

Yun Xi didn't act pretentiously. After taking it, she weighed it in her hand. It was less than two taels. Including the workmanship, it should be worth three taels of silver, which was enough.

"Okay, don't worry."

Just like that, there was an old woman in the east wing of the house, spying on the Lu family's life from the window. Yun Xi didn't let Lu Da get close to the old woman, but wanted to see the reaction of that so-called Uncle Yuan Ren first.

The Zhao family next door has very good craftsmanship and they finished the work and delivered it to us in less than two days.

The sheets were spread on the beds, two quilts were used to cover each bedroom, and the two extra beds were covered with quilt covers for the old woman.

Yun Xi didn't use a quilt, so she gave it to the two girls. They were small and one bed was enough for them. Yun Xi washed the three down quilts and used them herself, putting one on the bed and using the other two as covers at night. She washed the three down jackets and secretly put them away, and she also wore the sweater secretly.

Life is finally not so difficult anymore.

The woodcutters delivered firewood for a few days, and the two back rooms were filled with firewood until there was no more space. Yun Xi called a halt, not knowing what to do during the long winter ahead.

After thinking it over again and again, Yun Xi spent a lot of money to buy a set of pens, ink, paper and inkstone. She wanted to write ghost stories. The previous two tasks were also in ancient times. She had read many storybooks and had already seen experience. Generally speaking, there were more love stories or travel notes, and fewer ghost stories.

I have watched many horror and suspense movies and read many novels in modern times, so I should be able to sell any one I copy for money.

Zhao Taoyao hasn't received any embroidery work these past two days, so she's been running to the Lu family frequently.

"Auntie Lu, what are you buying the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone for?"

Seeing Yun Xi spreading out her skills on the table in the main hall, she asked curiously.

"As for me, I want to write something and sell it. I can't just sit there and live off my savings." Yun Xi was calm and composed, and a simple ghost story had already been conceived in her mind.

"Auntie Lu, you can actually read and write? Why haven't I heard you say that before?" Zhao Taoyao exclaimed.

The five people from Lu turned their heads and stared at Yun Xi closely.

Yun Xi felt very uncomfortable and scolded her, "Why are you so jumpy? Is writing difficult? My parents made me learn it for a few years when I was a child."

"Learning to read isn't that hard? Do you know how expensive it is to study in a private school? The most ordinary private school charges twenty taels of silver a year." Zhao Taoyao was very disappointed. "If you have such ability, why did you do hard labor before? You can just open a school and teach children and make more money."

Yun Xi was shocked and said, "Twenty taels of silver a year for the tuition, are you robbing me?"

Zhao Taoyao's eyes sparkled, and she drooled with envy. "Robbery? It's even easier to make money than robbing. There's a private school on the sixth street north. The teacher is an old scholar. He enrolls seven or eight students a year. He receives a lot of money in tuition, apprenticeship gifts, and festival gifts! He's been teaching for twenty years and has bought hundreds of acres of land."

"Alright, seeing how red your eyes are, it's just studying, it's enlightenment, just follow me and learn."

Yun Xi waved her hand indifferently, put pen to paper, and wrote the word "bell".

Zhao Taoyao, who couldn't read, was overjoyed. "Really? Then can my two younger brothers come and learn?"

"Whatever. One sheep or two sheep is fine. Let me make it clear first. I'm only free at night. I need to sleep in during the day. Also, if I go out, you have to help me look after the children.

Having said that, he glanced at Lu Da and the others, then lowered his head and continued writing.

"No problem!" Zhao Taoyao winked at Lu Da. Lu Da lowered his head, clenched his fists, and did not respond.

Lu Xiaowu stood on tiptoe at the table, peering at the words on the paper, and said crisply, "Mom, what are you writing?"

"Well, I'm writing a ghost story. Am I scared?"

"Don't be afraid! Ghosts are not as scary as parents."

Yun Xi:......

Smiling face, what is she arguing with the child, haha, haha...

After collecting her thoughts and finishing her ideation, she began to write. Her ideas flowed like a flood and she quickly filled a page of paper, which she put aside to dry. When she had inspiration, she did not dare to slack off, fearing that the inspiration would suddenly disappear. She wrote continuously until late at night and almost finished a story.

The main room was empty. Yun Xi put out the fire and went to bed quickly. She woke up at noon the next day and was found by Wei.

"I asked someone to find out. Uncle Yuanren will be back this afternoon. I'm ready to leave."

After struggling for more than half a month, Wei could no longer wait.

Yun Xi frowned, "Are you sure it's safe?"

"Why is it unsafe? My uncle is fair and strict, he will definitely get to the bottom of it." Wei was convinced.

"Okay, if you really want to investigate, hire a beggar to come to me and I'll give you the information."

"Okay, if, if there is any emergency, I will also send you a message."

Yun Xi got up, dressed, and after eating, she helped Wei Shi leave North City...

After seeing Wei off, Yun Xi waited for news at home, staring at Lu Da in a daze from time to time.

Lu Er stared at Yun Xi warily, looking as ferocious as a wolf cub, but he had a gentle appearance and no aura at all.

Yun Xi ignored him and waved to Lu Dazhao, saying, "Lu Da, come with me. I have something to tell you."

Lu Da was puzzled and didn't stand up. "What's the matter?"

"It's about your background."

Yun Xi said this and walked towards the yard.

The axe that Lu Da was using to chop wood almost hit his foot. His heart was pounding, and he lowered his head and went to the east wing with Yun Xi.

Yun Xi looked out the window and said calmly, "Master Lu, when the female doctor was checking on you, I also asked her to check my pulse. I didn't give birth, and you are not my children."

Lu Da took a big step back in shock and cried out, "Impossible! If you're not my mother, then who am I?"

"I don't know. Recently, I've mobilized the beggars in North City to help find out information, but it hasn't been that fast. And the old woman at home might also have some news." Yun Xi put her hands behind her back. "I support looking for your relatives. I also want to find out why all this happened, but there are conditions."

Lu Da raised his head and stared at her closely. "What are the conditions?"

Yun Xi raised her finger. "First, I will write off all my previous beatings against you. Lu Zheng was the worst offender, so I won't stop you from seeking revenge on him. Second, if your relatives are wealthy, you must reimburse me for the expenses of searching for them. Third, once you find them, I will reward you with one hundred taels of silver."

Yun Xi didn't want to work for nothing, and what would she do if she was retaliated against? So she had to make it clear in advance and sign the agreement. If she was really retaliated against, she wouldn't be afraid.

Lu Da clenched his fists, tightly controlling his emotions, his eyes red.

If it's all written off, what does the suffering he's endured in the past mean? Is it just bad luck?
