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

Chapter 25: No Further Investigation

Guan Guihua fell silent. She was actually biased towards her daughter, after all, Fang Yunyi's reputation was really bad. Even though she had behaved very well these past few days, it is said that it is easier to change mountains and rivers than to change one's nature. Maybe the other party really wanted to sell the child herself, but now it was her own daughter who was suffering because of her.

"Mother..." Xia Xiaoyue cried out one last time, "If I can't get out today, then tomorrow... This is the last time I'll call you Mother, sob sob."

Guan Guihua's emotions finally overcame her reason: "Xiaoyue, you wait." Then she got up, went to the side, found a stone, and smashed the lock hanging on the door.

To be honest, at that time, because minerals were all government-controlled, copper and iron products were very precious. This brass lock was only used because this was an ancestral hall, and now it has been smashed.

"Mom, thank you, I'm leaving now." Xia Xiaoyue was about to run away as soon as she stepped out the door.

"Xiaoyue," Guan Guihua grabbed her daughter's arm, "you..."

"Mom, thank you." Xia Xiaoyue felt a little guilty for a moment, so she simply hugged Guan Guihua. "I'll come back to see you when I have time." Once she's successful, she'll come back and slap these people in the face.

Guan Guihua's tears fell.

"Mother, this was all forced by Fang Yunyi." Xia Xiaoyue didn't forget to smear Yunyi. "You better behave yourself and don't confront her head-on in the future. I'm leaving now." After saying that, she pushed Guan Guihua away and ran away.

Guan Guihua wiped away her tears, glanced at the ancestral hall's gate, thought for a moment, then closed it. She then hung the broken copper lock on it. At first glance, it looked fine, but it would fall down if touched. Only then did she hurriedly return home.

She glanced at her husband, who was still sleeping, and hurriedly took off her clothes and got onto the kang (a heated brick bed).

Xia Fugui actually knew that his wife had gone out in the middle of the night and guessed what she was going to do, but he hesitated for a moment and then pretended not to know. After all, she was his own daughter, whom he had pampered since she was a child, and he couldn't just watch something happen to her now.

Yunyi had a good sleep. When her biological clock woke her up, Er Ya and the others were still fast asleep. However, Xia Songshi was no longer in the room. The old lady got up at four o'clock every day and should be busy in the kitchen now.

Sure enough, when they came out, Xia Songshi was already cooking, and Doctor Wang was also exercising in the yard. It was clear that the old man was practicing the Five Animal Frolics.

Wang Tianshun glanced at Yun Yi and, noticing her interest, said, "This is good for strengthening the body. If you want to learn, I can teach you."

"I will." Yunyi withdrew her gaze and turned to fetch water to wash her face.

"You can?" Wang Tianshun stopped what he was doing.

"Yes." Yunyi nodded, "I not only know the Five Animal Frolics, but I also know the Eight Pieces of Brocade and Tai Chi..."

"Wait, you...you really can?"

Yunyi stopped talking, put down the water ladle, and first did a few movements of the Five Animal Frolics, then a few movements of the Eight Pieces of Brocade, and finally Tai Chi...

Wang Tianshun was a little dumbfounded. Although the opponent did not perform the full routine, just by looking at these movements, he knew that the opponent was a master, because both the moves and the strength were just right. Even he might not be able to do it so perfectly.

After Yunyi finished, she didn't even look at the old man. She went straight to scoop up some water to wash her face and then went to the construction site.

May is almost here, which is also the harvest season. Although the crop yield here is not high, it is the staple food for the people for most of the year. After the wheat is harvested, soybeans, corn and other crops will be planted.

Therefore, the busy farming season begins in late April.

But people didn't forget to build houses, since that's where money can be made.

Summer days are early, but it was only a little past five o'clock, yet the construction site was already bustling with activity.

Yunyi didn't offer any suggestions on how the house should be built, nor did she attempt to build a modern house. After all, she wouldn't be living here for long, and if the house was too modern when she left, it might attract the covetous eyes of others, and the old and young might not be able to protect it.

To put it bluntly, she hasn't truly integrated herself into this family yet; she's just a passerby. Once she's paid off the original owner's debts, she can pack up and leave, then go to the capital to avenge the original owner, and then go about her business.

In the morning, everyone would work for about an hour, go home for lunch, and then go back to work in the fields. So, when Yunyi returned to the Wang family, she saw the village chief.

"Yunyi, the village chief is looking for you." Xia Songshi looked at Yunyi with some trepidation.

Yunyi nodded, having a general idea of ​​what was going on. It must be something wrong with Xia Xiaoyue. Sure enough, before she could even ask, the village chief said that Xiaoyue had run away last night.

"We sent people to Lishu Village to inquire, and they should be back soon." The village chief looked at Yunyi somewhat embarrassedly.

Yunyi knew that going there would be pointless; Xia Xiaoyue wouldn't return to the village. If nothing unexpected happened, she probably wasn't even in Liyu Town anymore. As for where she went... she should have gone to the county town.

"Uncle Village Chief, who let them go?"

"This……"

Yunyi had a better understanding of the situation, but she didn't intend to investigate further. After all, she still had to live here, and if she really ruined things over something without any real evidence, her own family would be the one to suffer.

"Tianyin's family, can we let this matter drop?" The village chief took a deep breath and asked somewhat nervously.

"it is good."

"what?"

"I said okay, I won't pursue it any further," Yunyi repeated.

"Well... okay... okay..." The village chief nodded somewhat guiltily. "Um... if you need anything in the future, just tell your uncle. If it's something I can do, I will definitely not refuse."

"Then thank you in advance, Uncle." Yunyi smiled, "But there's something I still need to say."

"You said."

"I won't hold it against her this time, but if she doesn't give up and comes to provoke me again, then I won't be polite." Yun Yi looked at the village chief with a half-smile. Although she hadn't known Xia Xiaoyue for long, she remembered that the original owner of this body had had quite a bit of contact with her. That person was definitely greedy, so after escaping safely this time, she would definitely come back for revenge.

"Alright." The village chief nodded, thinking to himself that Xiaoyue wasn't stupid. How could she possibly come back to cause trouble after leaving this time? Of course, his idea was soon proven wrong, but that's another story.

After the village chief left, breakfast was ready, and the children got up one after another.

After breakfast, Yunyi said goodbye to everyone and continued up the mountain. When she was about to leave, she glanced at Dabao, who quickly lowered his head. He dared not follow her again.
