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

Chapter 56 The Injured 6

Yunyi felt a little helpless, but she had no choice but to put down her chopsticks, pick up Xiaobao, and pat him: "Alright, your dad will come back."

Having been here for so many days, she hadn't thought much about the original owner's cheap husband. Now that the children were mentioning him, she couldn't even remember what he looked like for a moment.

Xia Songshi's eyes also reddened, but she quickly held back her tears: "If your father knew that we live in such a nice house, wear new clothes and eat meat, he would be very pleased."

Da Bao nodded, swallowing back the tears welling up in his eyes.

The other kids nodded in agreement.

After wailing twice, Xiao Bao stopped crying.

After giving him a couple of sips of water, Yunyi put him back in his chair and said, "Eat."

After the meal, Xia Songshi led the children to clean up the dishes, then boiled water and had everyone take a bath in the bathroom.

The house was built exactly like the ancient ones, except that the toilet and bathroom were modernized. Although there is no flush toilet, there is a pit that leads to the outside so that it can be flushed at any time, ensuring cleanliness and no odor.

Although there is no shower in the bathroom, there is a drain, so you can pour out the dirty water directly in the room after you finish showering, without having to carry it out to empty it.

The kids used to bathe in the river outside, how could they get clean?

At this time, they not only took a bath, but also had soapberry balm.

Everyone looked as if a layer of skin had been rubbed off, finally revealing their true colors.

Especially these days, because they've been eating so well, they've all gained weight and look adorable.

Yunyi was fortunate that Xia Songshi was a diligent person. Even when they lived in a thatched hut, she would make everyone wash their hands, feet, and hair, so no one got lice.

"Mom, I smell so good..." After Xiao Qibao was exposed, he kept rubbing his little face against Yun Yi's face.

Yunyi gave the little one a big kiss: "Mmm, smells so good." The little guy has gained weight and become much fairer and more tender, looking just like a little glutinous rice ball, which is especially endearing.

"Ah ah..." Qibao cried out loudly, "Mama, darling." Then his little mouth pressed against Yunyi's face, but instead of a smacking kiss, he blew on her cheeks.

As a result, he blew spittle all over Yunyi's face.

Yunyi: ...

Little Qibao was laughing happily.

Yunyi could only pinch his little bottom once before tossing him onto the soft mattress.

The little guy rolled around on the bed, having a wonderful time, and his clear laughter could be heard all over the yard.

Sanya tugged at Erya's arm: "Second sister, I like my current stepmother."

Er Ya glanced at Yun Yi, and although she didn't say anything, she didn't refute either.

After putting the children to sleep, Xia Songshi came out and saw Yunyi hanging her hair in the yard. She walked over and said, "Yunyi."

"Is something wrong?"

"Thank you."

"Ok?"

"Thank you for making them...happy."

"Mm." Yunyi nodded. "I guess this is my compensation for what I did before. I'm just glad you don't blame me."

"No, no, it's no wonder." Xia Songshi quickly waved her hand. "I'm glad you're like this."

Yunyi wanted to ask if she could give her the original owner's indenture if she was happy, but after thinking about it, she decided against it and instead asked another question: "Is Xia... Tianyin really gone?"

Xia Songshi was taken aback, clearly not expecting Yunyi to ask this.

"Is he dead or alive?" Yunyi asked again.

A complex emotion flickered across Xia Songshi's face as she lowered her eyes, avoiding Yunyi's gaze. "I don't know either." She paused, then continued, "He said he was going to the mountains to hunt more game, to finish building the houses before winter, and to buy winter clothes for everyone, but..."

“I have been to Qinglong Mountain many times and explored many places, but I have not found any traces. Logically speaking, he would not have gone too deep. Even if he really met with misfortune, he would have left some traces. However, I have not found any traces.”

“I don’t know.” Xia Songshi shook her head. “I also hope he’s alright.”

"I was just asking casually. You should go wash up." Yunyi didn't press the matter further. She had been here for over two months and went up the mountain almost every day, not only to hunt for game to exchange for money, but also to look for any clues about Xia Tianyin, but to no avail.

Xia Songshi seemed relieved and hurriedly turned around and went into the bathroom.

Yunyi watched Xia Songshi's back and narrowed her eyes slightly. These children were definitely not Xia Tianyin's, after all, he was only eighteen or nineteen years old and could not have given birth to seven or eight-year-old children. But were they really Xia Songshi's biological mother and children?

Oh well, if I can't figure it out, I won't think about it. If we get along well in the future, we'll stay together; if not, we'll break up.

He then got up and went into the room.

Finally, I have my own room. I don't have to sleep on the same kang (heated brick bed) with so many people anymore.

"Boss." Sixteen jumped down. "Am I pretty?"

Yunyi's lips twitched when she saw it; this guy had plucked a flower from somewhere and tucked it behind his ear.

Boss, what's with that expression? You're insulting me.

Yunyi rolled her eyes, too lazy to pay attention to it, and went straight to bed. She was too lazy to even bother with it anymore.

Sixteen left sadly. Sibao was so adorable; I loved it so much…

But Sixteen, who had just left, suddenly returned and jumped onto the headboard: "Boss, I've noticed, you're paying less and less attention to me."

Now, she doesn't even summon herself anymore unless it appears.

"Aren't you annoying?" Yunyi rolled over. "Why should I care about you? You're just a monkey."

sixteen:……

"When you regain your powers and return my things, I'll be able to value you again." Yun Yi waved her hand. "Otherwise, the only thing I can think of when I see you right now is a dish of boiled monkey brains."

sixteen:……

Finally, she went out crying, and then she lay on Shiba's back and started crying.

Shiba was stunned at first, then he was so frightened that he darted away, thinking to himself, "Has this monkey gone mad?"

Sixteen was caught off guard and fell to the ground with a thud. It took her a while to react. When she finally came to her senses, she felt a sharp pain in her body. "Waaah, why am I always the one who gets hurt?"

At this moment, Nineteen, who was originally squatting on the roof, also heard the noise and flew down. He tilted his head and looked for a long time, not understanding why the monkey was lying on the ground. Finally, he simply flew back onto the roof. The monkey wasn't as pretty as the stars.

Sixteen finally managed to get up and limped to Sibao's room. Sibao, you are my only love.
