In her previous life, Zhao Qingyan grew up in an orphanage. She unexpectedly activated a pocket dimension and began hoarding supplies. After spending all her savings, an accident transported her to...
The women got along very well, and so did the children.
I've always known I have many brothers and sisters in my family, but I've never met them before. Now that we're all together, we feel incredibly close.
When the children get together, they almost always end up climbing on the roof or tearing off the tiles.
Including the Zhao family children, who started practicing horse stance at the age of three, their martial arts skills are not worth mentioning, but they are all quite skilled in light footwork.
When they got into play, the rooftops of the mansion weren't big enough for the children to fly on.
This was the third time the Zhao family had sent people to repair and rebuild their house.
Huang stood in the courtyard, hands on her hips, looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle.
"You little brats, get down here right now. I see you're all itching for a beating, so full of energy. Tomorrow you'll all go to the farm and feed the cows for me."
After Huang shouted these words, the little brats stopped fighting on the roof.
One by one, they jumped off the roof and quickly lined up in front of their elders.
"Great-grandmother, besides cattle, are there any pigs or sheep on the estate? I haven't had roasted mutton for several days, and I'm really craving it."
The speaker was Wang Yansheng, the second son of Zhao Qingyi. The reason he was named that was because the child was too lazy to come out when he was due and stayed in his mother's belly for eight more days.
My favorite food is roasted lamb leg.
However, Zhao Qingyi was worried that the child's stomach was weak and he wouldn't be able to digest too much meat, so she kept controlling how often the little one ate roasted meat.
Therefore, this kid was always thinking about roasted lamb leg.
Whenever he can order a dish, roasted lamb leg is his first choice.
Huang laughed when she heard this, but her smile looked somewhat sinister.
"Not only do we have roasted lamb legs, but also roasted pork, beef ribs, stewed goose, and roasted duck."
Whatever dish you want to eat, there's nothing our family can't make.
Want to eat well? It's very easy. First, look back at how many tiles you've broken. The tiles in our mansion were specially made, unlike those sold outside.
The price wasn't high; a single tile was only worth about 200 coins. The first time you broke 35 tiles, the second time 46. How many did you break today?
The head maidservant, who had already asked the servant who went up to check, quickly whispered, "Reporting to the old lady, the young masters broke 23 tiles today."
Madam Huang nodded, "Yes, you broke another 23 tiles today. These three times add up to a total of 104 tiles. At 200 cash per tile, that's 20 taels and 8 qian of silver."
"Considering you are all my great-grandchildren, I'll round it down; you can all pay the remaining 20 taels of silver to the household."
The children were dumbfounded. More than a dozen children looked at each other, wondering why they had to pay for the damage to their own roof tiles.
It's not that the kids don't have money, it's just that they're all spoiled and greedy, like those mythical creatures that eat meat.
Once the money is in their pockets, they treat it like a life-or-death situation to take it out.
Wang Yansheng was the first to take a step back, his small hand covering his purse.
"Great-grandmother, what kind of work do you have on the estate? Can your grandson pay off his debts by doing odd jobs?"
Upon hearing her son's words, Zhao Qingyi couldn't help but rub her forehead. Her eldest son seemed calm and composed, while her second son looked shrewd, but he just couldn't keep a secret.
He has to say what's on his mind immediately, as if delaying even a moment would be a waste of his long tongue.
The other children, upon hearing Wang Yansheng's words, also took a step back. Even children need to know how to assess the situation.
So the children were given a unified arrangement: starting tomorrow, they would be sent to the village to work for a month.
Of course, whether they can return at that time depends on their behavior on the estate.
If they continue to ignore it, then they can stay on the estate.
If they go to the manor, they can go to the manor. There, the brothers can practice their skills more freely. The house is just too small for them to practice.
It's a real shame that I haven't been shopping in Beijing yet.
The children asked if they could visit the capital city before going to the manor.
