Before Old Lady Yun could speak, Liu Shi, Yun Dazhuang, and the others subconsciously took a step back. Yun Ling, who was in the tree, was comparing the two groups of people when she looked down and saw Old Man Yun quietly covering his ears.
"Go on, keep talking."
Yun Sanzhuang didn't hesitate and immediately said, "Auntie, wild..."
"Fuck your mother's bullshit," Old Lady Yun slapped him on the head. "What trash are you talking about? How dare you mention this to me? I could take down all three of you with a stick by myself. And you're talking about hunting wild boars and leading the charge? Bah!"
"Look at these handsome men with buffalo noses, fire-blowing mouths, beady eyes, long upper bodies and short lower bodies, big heads and small feet. They are truly a nuisance to humans and ghosts. Even wild boars would be disgusted by them for three days and three nights."
"you!"
"What do you mean, 'you'? A real man stands tall and upright. You bunch of shorty girls only know how to farm. You think you can do whatever you want just because you have a few ounces of flesh? What's wrong with women? Could no woman have given birth to you?"
"He's weak in the hands, but he can't keep his mouth shut. He keeps chattering away like a shrew cursing in front of someone's door. He should just cut off his ounces and feed them to the pigs to avoid looking like a burden."
Those who were rebuked were both angry and ashamed, but they couldn't find any rebuttal. Going home like that would be too embarrassing and a loss for them, so they could only try to find an opening in what Old Lady Yun was saying to take advantage of the situation, since they had slaughtered a pig and there must be pork in the house.
But Old Lady Ke Yun wasn't about to let them get away with it. Without even taking a breath, she continued, "You said you wanted to settle accounts, right? Fine, I'm just waiting to settle accounts with you."
"Over the past few years, they've taken two bushels of rice, five dried fish, seven sickles, a hoe, a large wooden basin, two pieces of cured meat, a basket of needles and thread, five bags of winter melon strips, four pieces of pork belly, seven bunches of lettuce, two hens... half a wild rabbit, a handful of rock sugar, a handful of star anise. I've done a quick calculation, and I'll pay back five taels of silver. That'll settle the debt."
"Five taels!!" Liu was furious, her face contorted with grief as she shouted into the house, "Third son, are you just going to let her settle accounts with our eldest son's family like this, erasing all kinship between us?"
"Why are you calling your brother-in-law when we're settling accounts? Could it be..." Old Madam Yun narrowed her eyes, "No wonder you always come to my house, so that's what you're up to. Is your uncle failing you? Huh?"
"That's not true. I came because...for..." Liu was so angry that she vomited blood. She never expected Pan to say such a thing. Without any evidence, she was ruining the family's reputation. Did she have no shame?
Moreover, Liu Shi wouldn't care about that lame man. She felt more wronged than Dou E, but she couldn't bring herself to admit to stealing chickens and dogs. So she just stomped her feet and waited for someone to come to her rescue.
Yun Dazhuang, unable to tolerate others insulting his mother, rebuked his mother.
"Aunt, how can you say such a thing?"
"What did I say? If she wasn't guilty, what was she doing? Oh, you all wronged us by accusing us of stealing a wild boar and started cursing, and now she wants to steal my man and won't even let me speak up? What kind of logic is this? Today I'm going to teach this vixen a lesson."
As she spoke, Granny Yun picked up a broom to hit him. When everyone saw that she was serious, they didn't care about wild boar or meat anymore, and hurriedly dragged Liu Shi home.
Yunling was stunned by her mother's actions. Good heavens, this family is full of hidden talents! If this mother were to open a venue, she would pay any amount of money to listen to her curse.
Unaware of Yun Ling's admiration for her, when she returned, she saw Yun Lao Die with his hands behind his back and a serious expression. She immediately threw down the broom and obediently stood beside Yun Lao Die.
"This is a one-time exception; there will be no next time."
"Okay, whatever you say."
After agreeing, Old Lady Yun skipped back to her room. She was truly happy today; she had finally managed to scold that bitch. That kind of joy was something she couldn't compare to even eating several bowls of rice. She felt so relieved and was sure to get a good night's sleep.
Seeing her like this, Old Man Yun couldn't help but smile.
Yunling, who climbed down from the tree and witnessed everything: ...
**
The next day, Yunling took out the shiitake mushrooms from the basket, intending to extract the spawn to cultivate them. However, there was a problem: they didn't have any extra space at home.
After a night of discussion, they decided to buy an area to the right of the house to use as a mushroom house. After placing the order, Old Man Yun carried a piece of pork and a pot of old wine to the village chief's house. The village chief didn't think there was much of a problem, but the land was less than a third of an acre. In the end, considering that Old Man Yun's family was very considerate, he accepted a mere twenty coins and let it go.
After obtaining the village chief's signature and stamp, Old Man Yun hired two cement workers on his way home. They didn't intend to disrupt the original layout of the house; they just wanted to open a small door to connect to the other side. Once that was settled, construction began.
When the neighbors saw this, they all came over to ask if Yun Shenghua had made a lot of money in the city. Old Mrs. Yun just smiled and said that there wasn't enough space, but if Zhang had another child in the future, there would be a place for her to live. She didn't say anything more.
The villagers had no doubts, after all, Yun Shenghua only had two daughters, and if he didn't have a son, their family line would end.
Liu was naturally aware of what was happening here, but after what happened that night, Yun Da scolded her severely, and other villagers secretly laughed at her for having an affair with her brother-in-law, leaving her speechless.
Now, let alone going to the third branch of the family, she would rather take a detour than even see their shadows.
Old Lady Yun was pleased with Liu's sensible attitude. Without being watched, the members of the third branch of the family felt happy. Some built houses, some went into the mountains, and some did embroidery. Everyone was busy with their own things. An autumn wind blew and the wheat ears in the field swayed.
Another autumn harvest has arrived.
Compared to previous years, Yunling's wheat ears were exceptionally plump and the yield was extremely high. Not only was Old Man Yun happy during the harvest, but everyone else in the village was filled with envy and jealousy.
At the same time, Yunling's flower mushrooms also came out. These flower mushrooms were of superior quality, with thick caps and an extremely rich aroma. According to what Yun Ruoxia had inquired about, they were currently selling for ten coins per ounce on the market, but the kind Yunling grew could probably sell for twelve coins per ounce.
Yunling and Yunruoxia picked the black mushrooms and flower mushrooms in the dark and put them into baskets. Taking advantage of the few days when the donkey cart was free, they went to the city.
But upon meeting Manager Zhou, before they could even announce the good news about the shiitake mushrooms, Manager Zhou frowned and began to complain to them.
“Young lady, your black mushrooms are indeed good, and they have attracted many customers to the restaurant. However, these customers only order this one dish, and they sit for a long time and drink too much tea. This cannot continue.”
Yunling realized that they were trying to lower the price.
