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

"When I was three, you locked me in the woodshed that winter and I nearly froze to death. When I was seven, you and Lu Zheng beat me with a stick and my leg was broken. When I was twelve, I just eavesdropped on a private school class, and you watched me indifferently as Lu Zheng nearly beat me to death. And there were so many other times of abuse and beatings..."

Lu Da's words seemed to have a tearful tone.

Yun Xi listened quietly, feeling a little uncomfortable. However, it wasn't her fault. After he finished speaking, she began her own performance, aggrieved, "I did it, I admit it, but I also raised you, who have no blood relationship with me. Lu Zheng never took a penny from us. The house we live in is mine, and the food we eat is mine. Is there any problem with writing it off?"

"I've hit you and hurt you, and I can apologize, but I never intended to hurt you from the beginning. Even if it was my own son, I would beat him if he didn't obey. This is how poor people educate their children."

"Imagine you worked hard all day to earn money, and then came home to find your child was disobedient and mischievous. What would you do? I didn't know the truth then, and I had no mother-child bond with you. Did you expect me to come home from a hard day's work and patiently teach you?"

"We are all victims. I was deceived by Lu Zheng, and you were abducted by him. Over the years, I have worked hard to raise other people's children. I think it's because I am kind-hearted. If you ask people on the street, who would be willing to raise someone else's child for free?"

Yun Xi was also filled with resentment. She felt the original owner was a fool. She felt she was being taken advantage of by someone else raising a child for nothing, and she was desperate. And yet, the original owner had raised five children for someone else! All of them had been raised from infancy.

During the busy farming season, she worked for the landlord to earn money. In her spare time, she did odd jobs to earn money. Every day, she would find time to embroider to earn money. In the winter, she would take on high-paying laundry jobs to supplement the family income. In short, she went wherever there was work. Sometimes she had to work several jobs in a day to support the family. When she returned home, she would be provoked by her "husband" to sow discord and beat the children...

After all the calculations, I got nothing and the children hated me.

This is what it means to be a sucker.

In this conspiracy, the original owner and the children are all losers.

After Yun Xi traveled through time, she tried her best to control her temper. Facing the disgust and hatred from others, she did not make excuses or resist. She used her actions to show that she was also a victim, but in fact, she felt very aggrieved in her heart.

Lu Da lowered his head and remained silent for a long time, until he controlled his emotions and became calm as water, then he nodded in agreement.

"Write the receipt."

Yun Xi knew that the other party wanted to kill her very much, and so did Lu Er. As for the three younger ones, they might have the protection of the older one, and the original owner had not been at home for long, so she didn't hate the original owner that much, but she definitely hated Lu Zheng.

After writing the document, signing and fingerprinting it, Yun Xi threw it into the space and went out with the ghost story "The Bell".

After she left home, Zhao Taoyao came running and shouted, "Huilinfang has been unsealed. They said it was a false alarm and there is no epidemic."

Lu Er's face was gloomy, and a strange smile appeared on his face, "Sister Tao, is there any news about Lu Zheng?"

Zhao Taoyao glanced away and said, "Not yet, but everyone who had escaped from Huilinfang has already returned after hearing the news. It will probably take a long time for them to start trading. Let's wait a little longer."

Lu Er is so scary, woo woo~

Lu Er's face was filled with anger. "Haha, Lu Zheng took some people away to trade, and the rest got the news and hid away. But the five of us were beaten by Lu Zheng and almost died there. I suspect this is Lu Zheng's conspiracy. He lied that there was a plague in Huilinfang, so that people would not dare to approach, and he wanted to starve us to death."

"If the government burns down Huilinfang to prevent the spread of the plague, we won't be left with anything but ashes."

Lu Da has been particularly silent these two days. He hopes that he was abducted, but he doesn't want to say goodbye to his brothers who have shared hardships with him.

It's hard to have both in life.

Hearing this, his eyes turned bloodshot. Lu Zheng, Lu Zheng, Lu Zheng, he would not let him go, absolutely not!

……

"Xiao Zhengzi, whose card did His Majesty turn over today?"

"Reporting to Her Majesty, Wanronghua's sign has been turned over."

"It's that vixen Wanronghua again. I can't wait to see her die."

"My Lady, please wait a little longer. The time will come soon."

"Have you dealt with all those little brats?"

"Don't worry, I guarantee not even a bone will be left behind. Everything will go smoothly."

"That's good."

In the majestic and solemn palace, a little mouse climbed up the lampstand stealthily and licked the lamp oil again and again. It tilted its head and didn't pay much attention to the conspiracy in the inner room. After eating the lamp oil, it ran away with a smack of its lips.

"Shopkeeper, is my book any good?"

"what!"

Yun Xi suddenly spoke, startling Manager Shi.

The ghost story was both obscure and straightforward, which made him feel very emotional. At the crucial moment when he saw the Taoist priest opening the coffin and someone calling him, how could he not be scared?

"Madam Yun, are you sure you want to publish this book? Excuse me, it's a bit scary."

The shopkeeper is called Shi Shu. He is the owner of Canglan Bookstore, the largest bookstore in Beijing. As his name suggests, he is well-read. This is the first time he has seen such a scary ghost story. He is scared and curious, and can't stop reading.

"Manager Shi, I believe you have seen the reminder on the first page. If anyone is afraid, they can choose not to read it."

On the first page, Yun Xi wrote the precautions: This book is a fictional horror story. People with weak psychological abilities should read it with caution.

As for the pen name, it is Xi Nian Liu.

To be honest, the ghost stories written by Yun Xi are not even one-tenth as scary as those written in modern times. She just slightly enhanced the horror atmosphere based on the horror level of "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio".

I didn't expect that Manager Shi would say this was too horrible.

Manager Shi had not finished reading it yet. Because it was to be published as a book, if too little was written, it would not be worth publishing. Therefore, Yun Xi wrote on fifteen pages. If the font was made bigger when printing, there would be twenty pages.

"Is it the love between women?"

Yun Xi nodded, "You discovered it."

Shi didn't react much. There are many novels about mirror polishing and gay couples on the market, and the scale of the stories is so large that modern people are surprised. Yun Xi didn't want to write about love, but it seemed that any novel would not be attractive enough without writing about love, so she wrote about the love between a pair of girls in a very obscure way.

"It's well written, very loving, very sad, and quite regretful."

Shi Shu was satisfied, but Yun Xi was embarrassed. It was actually a melodrama, right? It was a pity that Shopkeeper Shi didn't know the word "melodrama."

Shi Shu had made a decision, "How does Madam Yun plan to cooperate?"

Yun Xi thought for a moment and asked, "What's the buyout price? What's the profit sharing price?"

"The buyout price is based on quality and quantity. A short film like yours costs twenty taels of silver, and the profit margin is 20:80, you get 20 and I get 80." Shi Shu kept his eyes on the manuscript.

"Shopkeeper Shi, I have many good ideas. If you can raise the price to three times the amount, you can buy out my books."

Yun Xi recognized the strength of Canglan Bookstore. It was one thing for her to hope to cooperate with the other party, but she had to fight for her own interests.
