My reborn husband and son are thinking about how to kill me every day.

Judging from the current situation, the woman does not seem to have any ill intentions towards them.

However, this alone was not enough to put his mind at ease.

Who is she?

She wasn't their mother, yet she still chose to stay by their side. Why?

Of course, he could clearly feel her affection for them, especially for his younger sister. But he dared not let his guard down easily, and was even more afraid of becoming immersed in that tenderness.

His past life experiences made him constantly on his guard. But now he was just a child, and there was very little he could do.

Now that my father has joined the army, it's very likely that the woman is with him. Perhaps the letters they wrote were all read by that woman first…

He had already missed the opportunity to talk to his father.

Lu Yanqi was very worried.

He sighed and decided to put the woman's matter aside for the time being and focus on the problems he could solve at the moment.

He walked up to Gu Chunzhi and said, "Grandmother, I want to go to school. When can I go to school?"

Gu Chunzhi slapped her forehead and said, "Look at my memory, how could I forget such an important matter? Wait a moment, I'll go and inquire for you. I'll see which school is good."

As she spoke, she hurried toward the stable, intending to hitch up the donkey cart.

When Ji Yunshuang left, she took the family's carriage and left Gu Chunzhi some money to buy another one. However, Gu Chunzhi couldn't bear to part with the money and ended up buying a cheaper donkey cart instead.

Lu Yanqi pulled her back and said, "Grandmother, I don't want to go to school."

"Huh?" Gu Chunzhi asked, puzzled. "Didn't you want to study? Why don't you want to go to school?"

Lu Yanqi had already thought of an answer. He said, "I want to be with my sister and study at home. Grandmother, let's invite a tutor to our house! That way, my sister can study with us."

Lu Yuzhu was eating milk tablets when she heard her brother's words. She quickly replied, "Yes, I want to go to school too, so I can write letters to my mother."

Lu Yanqi continued, "I heard from Uncle Fang that things are very chaotic outside. My little sister is so cute, what if she gets targeted by bad people if she goes out? I think she should stay home and study."

Gu Chunzhi thought about it for a moment and felt that her grandson made a lot of sense.

The world is in a bad state these days, and things are very chaotic outside. My grandchildren are all so beautiful; if they go out and get targeted by bad people and kidnapped, that would be terrible.

She nodded and said, "Yes, yes, we can't go outside to study. It's not safe outside. We'll study at home."

But where could she find a tutor while studying at home? She was pondering this when she heard Lu Yanqi ask, "Grandmother, are all the people working in Mother's shop really bought?"

Gu Chunzhi replied subconsciously, "Of course it's true, your mother bought them all from the brothel. Your mother is really something."

The accountant I chose is very capable; he can write and calculate. If it weren't for the bad times, it would be difficult to find an accountant like that.

As she said this, a slight thought crossed her mind.

If a daughter-in-law can find a good accountant at a brokerage firm, she might also find a good husband. The world is in a bad state now, and many families can't make ends meet, so they sell themselves into prostitution.

If we could hire a well-educated tutor to teach our two children at home, wouldn't that be more reassuring than finding one outside?

She said happily, "My little grandson is so smart. You reminded me. I'll go to the city now and see if there are any learned gentlemen in the brokerage."

Lu Yanqi said, "I'll go too."

Lu Yuzhu quickly said, "I want to go too."

Gu Chunzhi laughed and said, "What are you going to do? Didn't you just say it's not safe outside? You two stay at home with Granny Zhao, I'll be back in a bit."

"It's safe with Grandma by our side," Lu Yanqi said. "They're choosing a tutor for us. Let's go and see if he's a good fit."

"At such a young age, you already know what it means to be pleasing to the eye!" Gu Chunzhi couldn't persuade him otherwise, so she finally agreed and took the two children to the city.

However, the brother and sister are really good-looking, and she is genuinely afraid that if she takes them out, bad people will take a liking to them.

After arriving in the city, she didn't go directly to the brokerage firm. Instead, she went to her two sons and asked them to take her with her.

After a long period of hard work, the Lu brothers, Xu Mu and Zi Lin, finally finished their work at the braised food shop.

The shop was one of the ones that Ji Yunshuang bought from Huang Jiayu.

Although this shop is not as large as the other one, the shop that Ji Yunshuang plans to use to sell ready-made clothes, rouge, bags and the like is still quite spacious.

The two felt it was a waste that such a good shop only sold braised food. After thinking it over, they inquired around and found a suitable distillery to buy wine from.

Later, they bought tables, chairs, and benches and turned it into a small tavern.

Guests can order their favorite braised dishes and drink in the pub, or they can buy braised dishes to take home and eat.

However, this means the shop will need more people.

The two had originally planned to ask the Mu family for help.

When their mother mentioned wanting to visit a dentist and buy a tutor to teach their nephews and nieces, the two of them also got the idea.

If you can find a suitable one at a brokerage firm and keep the indenture in your hands, that would be quite good.

The group immediately set off for the brokerage firm.

At the Wei residence, Ma Er said, "Second Young Master, that old woman has taken two children into the city. However, she is very cautious. After entering the city, she went directly to find her two sons and did not leave the two children alone at all."

Wei Yuqi said with a sinister look in his eyes, "So what if you found her two bastard sons? They're just a family of peasants."

"Do you think they all have superhuman strength? Find a suitable place to make your move and bring those two kids to me."

After Dong confessed to her evil deeds and was arrested and imprisoned, the reputations of Wei Yuqi and his sister were also ruined.

At first, the brother and sister blamed Dong Shi, thinking that she was confused and should not have provoked Ji Yunshuang. Even if she did, she should not have revealed the bad things she had done before.

Now they've really messed things up for them...

But besides blaming Dong Shi, the brother and sister hated Ji Yunshuang even more.

Wei Yuqi, in particular, was filled with rage when he learned that he had been crippled and might not be able to have any descendants. He wanted nothing more than to tear Ji Yunshuang to pieces.

Unable to do anything to Ji Yunshuang, she decided to take her hatred for Ji Yunshuang out on her two children.

He had previously sent people to the village, hoping to abduct the two children. However, the two kids were different from other rural children; they didn't run wild in the village at all.

The villagers were also very nosy; they liked to surround any strangers they saw, asking them all sorts of questions, so his men never got a chance to approach them.

Wei Yuqi then arranged for people to secretly watch the Lu family, waiting for the two children to leave the village before finding an opportunity to kidnap them.

Now that the opportunity has finally arrived, he is not about to let it slip away.

He threatened Ma Er fiercely, "You're not plotting something, are you? Are you trying to shirk your responsibilities and not want to do anything for me? If so, you can forget about getting your mother cured."
