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

Chapter 60 Apology

Jiang's face darkened further, and she awkwardly didn't know what to say.

Zhao Dazhuang's eyes were red.

"Dali's family, apologize to Dazhuang, or I'll have to have a word with Wu Laowu." Old Zhao put on his eye bags and smacked his lips twice.

Originally, everyone in Zhao Family Village was surnamed Zhao. Later, people with the surname Wu fled here and were taken in by the people with the surname Zhao, which gave them a place to settle down. Later, the two surnames even intermarried, which made their relationship even closer.

The entire Zhao Family Village has a village chief, who is also the patriarch of the Zhao clan. However, the Wu clan also has its own patriarch, Wu Laowu.

The Wu clan has never had its own ancestral hall. The ancestral tablets have always been enshrined in the side room of the Zhao clan's ancestral hall, making it seem as if the Wu clan were servants of the Zhao clan. Therefore, the Wu clan has always wanted to rebuild its own ancestral hall, but this requires the Zhao clan's approval.

We are currently negotiating this matter.

If Old Man Zhao were to go looking for Jiang at this moment because of her affair, the elders of the Wu clan would surely kill her.

"Uncle Zhao, I can't keep my mouth shut." Madam Jiang raised her hand and slapped herself. "Nonsense, don't be angry, I was just talking nonsense."

Yunyi's eyes flashed, and she couldn't help but admire that this Jiang family member was quite adaptable.

"Why are you apologizing to me?" Old Zhao glared at her. "Have you wronged me?"

The people around him burst into laughter.

“Dazhuang, your aunt is just talking nonsense.” Jiang hurriedly looked at Zhao Dazhuang, “For the sake of... your many years with Cuicui, please don’t hold it against her.”

Zhao Dazhuang breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay."

Jiang laughed: "Uncle Zhao, look..."

"Since that's the case, hurry up and take your precious daughter and leave." Old Zhao was too lazy to argue with her anymore, and simply waved his hand, "From now on, your two families have nothing to do with each other."

Only then did Mrs. Jiang take her daughter and leave.

"Alright, you can all leave now. It's noon, time to cook. Aren't you going to work in the fields this afternoon?" Old Zhao glanced at the people around him.

Everyone laughed and turned to leave, but when they went to work in the fields that afternoon, they found something to talk about.

"Third Brother, thank you." Da Zhuang's mother looked at Old Man Zhao gratefully.

"Let's not talk about this." Old Zhao waved his hand and glanced at Zhao Dazhuang. "It's good for people to be single-minded, but they can distinguish between good and bad. Some people aren't worth it."

Dazhuang's mother nodded in agreement.

"I understand, Third Uncle." Zhao Dazhuang nodded dejectedly.

"Alright, this young lady is here to see you." Old Zhao then waved to Yun Yi, who was still standing at the door. "Young lady, come in."

Yunyi then walked in.

"It's you?" Zhao Dazhuang naturally recognized Yun Yi and quickly stood up straight. Recalling the farce just now, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"I've come to ask you for some work, but I don't know if you'll still take it." Yunyi had no intention of meddling in other people's private affairs, so she got straight to the point.

"You two keep chatting, I'll head back now." Old Zhao turned and walked out. "If the young lady wants to go back to town, she can find me in the back room."

"Okay," Yunyi replied.

After seeing Old Man Zhao off, Zhao Dazhuang returned and handed a stool to Yunyi, saying, "Thank you for remembering me, young lady, but my shop is already closed."

"Can't I do side jobs?"

“This…” Zhao Dazhuang paused for a moment, “It’s not impossible.”

"That's fine." Yunyi smiled. "Once you finish this for me, it will be enough for the dowry to marry Wu Cuicui."

"Even if there's money, we don't want it." Before Zhao Dazhuang could even speak, Dazhuang's mother's face darkened. "I thought that girl was quite hardworking before, but now... Dazhuang, if you want your mother to live a few more years, then we'll pass, cough cough..."

“I already said it’s okay from now on.” Zhao Dazhuang hurriedly went over and patted his mother’s back a few times, then scooped up a ladle of well water, “Have some water to calm your nerves.”

"Wait a minute," Yunyi quickly stopped her. "Your mother isn't feeling well, and you're still giving her cold water?"

"Huh?" Zhao Dazhuang was taken aback. "Then what kind of water should we drink?"

"Well water is cold and can easily make you sick if you drink it. It's best to boil the water and then let it cool down or become warm before drinking it."

"Oh, I see." Zhao Dazhuang scratched his head. "Then I'll boil some water now."

“You sit down and talk to that girl.” Da Zhuang’s mother pulled her son back. “I just coughed a couple of times, it’s nothing. I’ll go boil water and cook. Girl, if you don’t mind, you can have a bite at home later.”

Yunyi smiled, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

"Then what are you going to do?" Zhao Dazhuang had no choice but to sit down again.

Yunyi pulled a piece of paper from her bosom: "Can you do that?"

Zhao Dazhuang took it and gasped in shock: "You..."

"Moreover, I have some materials here." Yunyi said, lifting her basket over and taking out a sword from it.

After she rescued the man on the mountain, she didn't take the long weapons of the men in black because she thought they were too conspicuous, and only took the short weapons. However, when she went up the mountain again later, she found that the bodies of the men in black had been eaten by wild animals, but the weapons were still there, so she took them all.

These weapons are made of the best materials.

At this point, she planned to melt down all the daggers and other weapons and reforge them, since the original daggers and darts had markings on them, and it wouldn't be good if they were discovered.

"Girl!" Zhao Dazhuang exclaimed, hurriedly putting the sword back into his basket. "You...do you know that having these things is a capital offense?"

“But someone has to know first, and right now no one knows,” Yunyi laughed. “Just tell me if you can do it.”

"Girl, you're putting me in a difficult position." Zhao Dazhuang swallowed hard.

"Because I trust your skills." Yunyi originally just wanted him to forge a dagger that she had modified, but after listening to what Old Man Zhao, who was driving the cart, said, she decided to take a risk and melt down all those things to forge something that suited her.

Zhao Dazhuang fell silent.

Yunyi didn't urge them, but just sat there quietly and waited.

"Okay, I promise you." Zhao Dazhuang finally nodded.

Yunyi smiled: "Where do you plan to forge it? Do you need me to provide you with a place?" You know, blacksmithing is very noisy, and it wouldn't be good if someone came to investigate out of curiosity and found out.

“No need, I have a cellar at home,” Zhao Dazhuang shook his head.

Yunyi's eyes lit up: "In that case, it's settled then." She took out ten taels of silver and handed it over, "This is a deposit. There will be more when it's finished."

"That's enough." Zhao Dazhuang wiped his hands on his pants and then took it.

"I only brought two items today, I'll bring you more tomorrow." Yunyi stood up. "By the way, if anything happens in the future, go to town and find Shen Hu and the others, they will let me know."
