Oh no! Seven kids at the start, all yellow and skinny.

Chapter 168 is a stranger

Yunyi sighed. Everyone was busy, and she, as the head of the household, couldn't just sit idle. So she went to the kitchen to help cook, since she was the one who designed and taught many of the dishes in the restaurant.

With their help, everyone finally felt much more relaxed. They were busy until about three o'clock in the afternoon before they finally had some free time.

Everyone was so tired that they plopped down and didn't want to move.

"How come business has suddenly become so much better?" Yunyi wiped her sweat and looked at He Wei. "I saw that another store opened across the street. Logically, it should have diverted customers from the business."

"Sister Yun." He Wei perked up immediately upon hearing this and sat up straight. "Third Master is amazing."

"Hmm?" Yun Yi raised an eyebrow slightly. "Tell me quickly, what did the old man do to make the business so booming?"

“That Wenxiang Pavilion is also ours,” He Wei said in a low voice.

Yunyi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed. She knew she hadn't misjudged him.

If she were a pure ancient person, she might not understand, but she has experienced too much, and after a little thought, she understood the reason. It should be Wenxiang Pavilion that is competing.

It's like that story that used to circulate in the business world: a man opened a shop, but everyone complained that it was too expensive. So he opened another shop across the street and set the prices a little higher. After that, the people from the first shop came over every day to argue with him, saying that he had driven the prices down so low, how could he make a profit? How could he let others survive?

When the customers saw that everything was the same, they realized that this store was indeed cheap, so they all flocked over. The owner across the street started cursing even more, and the more the owner cursed, the more he earned. In reality, the owner across the street was his employee.

The current Wenxiang Pavilion and Fengyun Pavilion should be in a similar situation.

Peter Hessler's account confirms this.

"Everyone has worked hard." Yunyi stood up. "Remember to give everyone bonuses."

"The Third Master said that everyone's monthly allowance will be doubled this month," He Wei nodded.

"Then I'm relieved." Yunyi simply stopped worrying about it and just waited to receive the money.

After dinner, we returned to the Yun residence, and it was already dark.

Dinner can be skipped.

After taking a relaxing bath, Yunyi had just entered the bedroom when her expression darkened slightly, and a flash of silver light appeared at her fingertips.

"Master!" someone inside the room called out hurriedly.

"Don't come into my room so casually in the future." Yunyi put the silver needles into her spatial storage as she waved her hand. "Otherwise, it wouldn't be good if you accidentally hurt someone."

"I knew you were in Longxi, so I was waiting for you to come see me, but you didn't show up, so I had to come here myself." Jing Han picked up a cloth from the side and walked over. "I'll help you wring your hair."

Yunyi was taken aback, but did not refuse. At this time, there was no hair dryer, and her hair was long. It would take a long time to dry after each wash. Therefore, people who could afford it would use many cotton cloths to wring their hair until all the water was absorbed before combing it and letting it air dry naturally.

Yunyi couldn't let He Miao and Xiao Jinxiu serve her, so she had to do it herself. But it wasn't very convenient, so it was good that someone was willing to help. She simply sat down on the chair.

With Huo Qingyuan's face on his back, Jing Han carefully picked up her hair with a cloth and slowly wrung it out until the cloth was soaked through before replacing it with a dry one.

Yunyi closed her eyes slightly. The other person's technique was very gentle and wouldn't hurt her. Before she knew it, she had fallen asleep. Although it was only for a short time, it surprised her.

You see, whether in her past life or in the mission world, she has always been vigilant, especially when she is not 100% sure of the other party's identity. She never lets herself expose any weaknesses. But just now, she actually had a feeling of peace and tranquility, and then she actually fell asleep comfortably.

Such behavior is actually dangerous.

"That's fine." Yunyi immediately stood up. "Thank you."

"Chief," Jing Han couldn't help but sigh, "Am I really that much of a worry for you?"

Yunyi glanced at him and said, "You're overthinking it. You just pulled out two strands of my hair." As she spoke, she reached up and touched her head, finding two strands of hair in her hand.

Jing Han couldn't help but touch his nose upon seeing this: "I'm sorry, this is my first time, I'm not familiar with it, I won't do it again."

Yunyi nodded: "How are you doing as commander?"

"Although it has been a short time, I have already figured out the situation in Longxi City and gathered some people. Give me some more time, and Longxi City will be ours."

Yunyi nodded; she was confident in Jinghan's abilities.

"Also, something happened to Du Renyi." Jing Han's expression suddenly turned somewhat strange.

"What happened?" Yunyi perked up, eager to know what tricks Du Ziming would use.

"He... he had an accident when he was messing around with his sister." Jing Han said hesitantly, his eyes darting away, clearly embarrassed.

"Hehe." Yun Yi paused for a moment, then laughed. "What about Du Rumei?"

“She was frightened and had some mental problems. Sun Qingming took her back. As for the outcome…” Jing Han didn’t say, because he didn’t know what would happen, but it certainly wouldn’t be good.

"This should be the best outcome," Yunyi nodded.

"Is this your work?" Jing Han suddenly leaned closer.

Yunyi subconsciously leaned back slightly: "Why are you so close to me? If you don't want to live, just say so."

"I'm sorry, I was just curious." Jing Han quickly sat back down. "You still haven't said whether it was your doing."

“I didn’t lay a hand on them.” Yun Yi glanced at Jing Han. “After all, I like things to be done cleanly, but people like Du Renyi and Du Rumei would be too easy to just die. It was Du Zimo.”

Jing Han nodded: "I guessed pretty much right."

"Alright, that's all. You should go now. I need to rest." Yunyi got up and walked towards the bed.

"Yunyi," Jing Han suddenly called out to her.

"Ok?"

"What if your man comes back?"

"My man?" Yunyi was taken aback, then laughed, "So what if he's back?"

"then you……"

"Are you curious?" Yunyi raised an eyebrow slightly.

"He just left like that, leaving you with a mess. Don't you hate him?" Jing Han's voice was slightly low.

"Do you want to hear the truth?" Yunyi was unusually patient.

Jing Han nodded.

"To be honest, I don't even remember what he looks like." Yunyi shrugged. "So he's practically a stranger. Besides, I was sold here; they gave me a place to stay. Why should I hate them?"
