Yun Da and his group saw Yun Shenghua and Yun Ruoxia moving things into the Lu family's trading company. If this was Yun Shenghua's job in the city, why would Yun Ruoxia be there? So they must have brought something to the trading company to sell.
Yun Da and the others couldn't suppress their gossipy nature, and as soon as Yun Shenghua and the others left, they immediately ran into the trading company.
Uncle Cao sensed something was off about this group of people, and when they asked him why Yun Shenghua had come in and what he was doing there, he felt annoyed.
Thinking about it more carefully, wasn't Yun Shenghua's sister harmed by her uncle and aunt? Wasn't that aunt the blessed woman who had given birth to several sons? Doesn't this person in front of you match up?
His annoyance reached its peak, and he didn't want to talk to them anymore. He ordered his thugs to drive them away and wouldn't let them even come near the door.
Yun Da felt extremely embarrassed, but this only made him more convinced that Yun Shenghua and his group had found a way to make money. More importantly, they didn't tell him about this method!
“Master, I told you long ago that they were up to something. Xia Jie’er and Ling Jie’er used to drive donkey carts into town all the time. I guess they were already making money secretly back then. I just don’t know what they were doing. Oh right, the shed. They built a shed before.”
"Mother, can you see what's inside?"
Liu said angrily, "If I had seen it, I would have shouted it out earlier. At the time, Chu-jie was so startled that I thought that little bitch Pan had put some kind of spell on her, so I didn't dare to open it. Now that I think about it, something really is wrong."
Thinking of Old Madam Yun's ruthlessness, and knowing how they always fled in terror whenever they encountered members of the third branch of the family, why provoke them again? It would be better to stay home and earn money by embroidering handkerchiefs, rather than risk losing her temper and having to serve her. So she said:
"Didn't my father-in-law say that we should never have anything to do with them again, and that whatever they do is none of our business, right?"
“That was before!” Yun Da roared. “If people have no value to us, we should naturally not associate with them. But now that they have a way to make money, how can we not stick to them?”
“That’s right, that’s right.” Madam Liu quickly chimed in, “You all need to keep a close eye on people. The sooner we find a way, the sooner we can pay off our debts and live a happier life.”
What Liu said made sense. They really didn't want to live like this anymore, struggling to pay back the money they could never repay, so they naturally focused their efforts on keeping an eye on the person in charge.

As the weather got warmer, Yunling went up the mountain to look for termite mushrooms. She searched all the way up the hillside for most of the day but didn't find a single one. So she changed her search and looked for termite nests. With the help of her supernatural abilities, she quickly found many nests, and even their old nests.
Yunling marked each spot and then went down the mountain. The two little tails that followed her watched her come down empty-handed from a distance. They went back to the spot where she had marked it and looked left and right, even digging with their hands, but they didn't find anything good. So they thought Yunling was just making a fuss and followed her down the mountain without thinking too much about it.
Before the New Year, Yunling had told Zhang that she wanted to learn how to swim, so naturally she asked Yun Ruochun and Yun Ruoxia to teach her.
After learning that Yunling wanted to learn to swim, Zhang took time every day to sew swimming clothes. If she wore ordinary clothes to go into the water, they would be sticky and see-through, and the long sleeves would be very restrictive and make it difficult to move freely. So Zhang made a small jacket and shorts, both with two layers of fabric, so that they would not be see-through even if they absorbed water.
Actually, Yun Ruochun and Yun Ruoxia's outfits could be slightly modified, but Zhang wanted everyone to have a set. This was not only a swimming outfit, but also a unique memory for each person, and their family didn't lack the money.
Yunling also tried to persuade Yun Chu to learn, but Yun Chu was afraid and kept shaking her head, gripping the halberd in her hand tightly.
"You guys go ahead, the water's too dangerous, it'll swallow me whole."
This remark drew a burst of laughter. Yunling immediately grabbed her hand and said, "What if you accidentally fall into the water, sister? Do you want to be rescued by a stranger and then forced to marry him?"
"I don't want to!" Yun Chu still hesitated. "Then I'll just be more careful. If I watch my step, I won't fall into the water, and naturally I won't be rescued by a strange man, nor will I be forced to marry him. Yes, that's it."
Seeing that Yun Chu was unmoved by either soft or hard tactics, Yun Ling couldn't help but resort to a ruthless method, "What if a young lady fell into the water, would you save her?"
These words struck a chord with Yun Chu. If she didn't have the heart to save lives, she naturally wouldn't want to study medicine. So she gritted her teeth and nodded in agreement.
Grandma Yun and Madam Zhang took them to the Xia family, while Grandpa Yun and Xiaobai stayed home to guard the gate.
After greeting the head of the Xia family, they headed straight for the pond. The grass around the pond grew very tall, which was intentionally left by the head of the Xia family to prevent outsiders from seeing it.
The water in the pond wasn't as blue and clear as the swimming pool water Yunling had seen in the videotape, but it wasn't murky or dirty either. After all, every spring, Xia Dangjia would have people clear away the withered branches and fallen leaves, and remove the weeds from the pond, and change the water twice. The environment was quite good.
Yun Ruochun and Yun Ruoxia took off their outer garments, revealing their worn-out swimming clothes. They were already unbearably hot and wished they could transform into water buffaloes. They quickly dived into the pond, sometimes darting through the water like fish, and sometimes floating on the water like duckweed.
Seeing this, Yunling was extremely eager to learn. She wished she could learn it immediately and move freely in the water like a mermaid. She took off her outer clothes and strode into the water. Because of her wood-type ability, she got along very well with the water.
However, because she was not tall enough, she almost drowned, but luckily Yun Ruochun caught her.
A little water got into Yunling's mouth, and she said happily, "Auntie, teach me quickly."
"Imagine me as a wall, support yourself with your hands, relax your body, lift your legs, take a breath into the water, exhale underwater, and inhale when you surface. Try it once."
This is Yunling's weakness. Once she starts exercising, she keeps trying to inhale, which results in a very short time to exhale. She was caught off guard and choked on water, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
But she dared not show too much distress, for fear of discouraging Yun Chu, who had finally mustered the courage to go into the water.
Yun Chu was so terrified that she memorized the mantra of exhaling underwater and inhaling upon surfacing, and thus she was unharmed.
After practicing dozens of times, just as the two were about to move on to the next step, Yunling noticed more than a dozen bees gathering above her head...
