To get from the old house to the village entrance, taking the main road would inevitably mean passing Yun Youtian's house. Taking a detour would seem contrived, so Yun Duo chose to take the main road directly. When she arrived at Yun Youtian's house, Wang Shufang happened to be in the courtyard.

When Wang Shufen saw Yun Duo, her eyes lit up and she smiled warmly, greeting Yun Duo enthusiastically, "Duo'er, what are you carrying? Is it heavy? Can you carry it? Otherwise, why don't you tell your aunt where you're going and have your brother take you there, okay?"

"Anyway, we're free now, and your brother doesn't have anything to do, so he's just warming himself by the fire inside."

As he spoke, ignoring that Yun Duo didn't respond at all, he called out directly into the house, "Wan Sheng, Wan Sheng, put on a thick coat and come out to help your sister Duo'er carry some things."

As she spoke, she deliberately muttered in a voice that the clouds could hear, "Duo'er is still so young. What if she gets crushed by carrying such a big basket and doesn't grow tall?"

"Okay, Mom, I'm here." Inside the house, a baking rack was baking peanuts. Yun Wansheng, who was lazily eating peanuts, quickly used a stick to pick out a few peanuts buried in the baking rack. Ignoring whether they were hot or not, he patted them twice to make sure there were no more sparks, then stuffed them into his pocket. He then quickly threw away the small stick and walked outside.

They didn't even try to shirk responsibility for a long time.

Of course, this is normal.

If it were anything else, Yun Wansheng would definitely try to avoid it. After all, in this freezing weather, going out in the cold wind is definitely not as comfortable as staying indoors by the fire.

But if it's about the clouds...

Yun Wansheng was extremely envious of the "good life" at the "old house". Regardless of whether it was rice or porridge, the old man and his family ate white rice every day, or white flour pancakes or noodles, and they even had meat every few days.

Every day feels like a holiday.

But his older brother, sister-in-law, nephew, and even his sister who was about to get married all managed to get some benefits from time to time, while he... shamelessly went several times, and each time he was kicked out as soon as he arrived, not even getting a sip of the oily soup...

Yun Wansheng thought about it very seriously, and even discussed it with Wang Shufang for a long time. They felt that the old man and woman had too deep a prejudice against him, and it would not be easy to win them back. However, Duoya was still young, and he had never bullied Duoya before. It should be possible to please her a little.

After all, even outsiders know that the fact that life in the old house is so good now is inseparable from Yun Duo.

If he could win Yun Duo's favor, the old folks might start to treat him differently. Even if they didn't... as long as he could please Yun Duo and get her to do him a small favor, say a few words to Lord Leopard or the county magistrate, who knows, Yun Wansheng's future might be bright!

Although Wang Tiejun's lesson is there for all to see—I heard his leg was broken and he still hasn't fully recovered.

But why is that?

It's all because Wang Tiejun keeps thinking of impractical and crooked ways, while Yun Wansheng is different.

He started by honestly and openly trying to please the clouds.

Yun Duo was unwilling, so he suffered no loss.

If the clouds accept, then the benefits will come.

So, Yun Wansheng was very eager, even forgetting his mother's advice to wear a thick coat, and went straight out. Seeing that Yun Duo had already walked away, he quickened his pace and chased after her.
