When Yun Da learned that Liu Shi had a limp, he cursed her under his breath as an idiot. He then began to assess the distance between the two beehives, and stood in the middle, solemnly instructing Yun Xiao San and Yun Xiao Si, "You two better watch out. If this beehive falls down, you two quickly cover it with the blankets, understand?"
Yun Xiaosan and Yun Xiaosi immediately threw off their blankets and prepared themselves, saying in unison, "Grandpa, we understand."
Yun Da was very satisfied with the two little ones. He quickly raised the bamboo pole and hit the beehive on the left with all his might. The beehive immediately fell in an arc. Yun Xiao Si reacted quickly, staring at the beehive and running. Just as it landed, he covered it with a blanket. Mission accomplished.
But Yun Xiaosan wasn't so lucky. A beehive almost hit him on the head. He dodged in fear, missing the chance. By the time he came to his senses, the bees had already flown out and were relentlessly chasing and stinging them.
Yun Da cursed "idiot" again, but he was unwilling to leave like this. So, despite the pain, he was determined to pick up the blanket and cover himself with it, then carried it home.
When Liu saw the three people whose faces had been stung so badly they looked like pigs, her eyes reddened. How much pain would it have hurt if they had been stung on her face?
"Honey, the second son's wife said that we need to fumigate this beehive with mugwort. Once it's fumigated, the bees inside will fly out, and then no one will be watching over the honey."
Yun Da nodded and waved for Liu Shi to do it. It wasn't that he didn't want to talk, but that his mouth had been stung by a bee and was in a lot of pain.
Liu quickly instructed her second son's wife to help. After the mugwort had been used to fumigate the honeycomb, they pried it open, and the honey flowed out.
The quick-witted Yun Xiaosi immediately caught it with his hand and put it in his mouth without saying a word. The others followed suit. They had been living a miserable life for the past two years, sometimes not having enough to eat, and their mouths were as bland as plain water.
Seeing this, Yun Da, who was sitting to the side, was furious. He had risked his life to get this back, and now it had been eaten without him any. How could he not be angry? He picked up the bowl next to him and smashed it on the ground.
Startled, Liu shrank back and immediately covered the honey with her hands, coldly shouting, "Go away, what are you eating? This is for making a fortune! You all have no sense of propriety!"
She then put all the honey into large round buckets, thus starting their beekeeping business in the main house.
The eldest son's actions were unknown to the third son's family, and Yunling was also unaware that the beehives on the mountain had been harmed; she was only focused on arranging for the bees at home to survive the summer.
At the same time, the man woke up.
Yunling and Yun Ruochun peeked inside from outside, while Yun's parents stood in front of the wooden plank with concerned expressions. "How are you feeling? Is there anything else that's bothering you? Should we call a doctor to come and take a look?"
Qin Yu looked around and saw the kind faces of the two people in front of him. He knew that he had been saved by kind people and expressed his gratitude in a shallow way.
For some reason, Old Lady Yun felt that this person looked familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before, so she was exceptionally warm and friendly, "Do you remember your name and where you live?"
"Remember."
"That's good," Old Lady Yun carefully examined the man, becoming more and more satisfied with him, especially his nose, which looked so auspicious for wealth, and his thick eyebrows and big eyes, making him handsome. "Have you come of age yet? Are you married?"
"He has reached adulthood but is not yet married."
Yunling was completely confused. What was going on? Now that the person was better, she should just let him go. Why was she asking such questions? But why did this person look a bit familiar?
Old Lady Yun was overjoyed to hear this. She was not yet of marriageable age, but looked to be seventeen or eighteen, a perfect match for Chun Jie. She was a bit cold, but that was understandable since they were not familiar with each other.
"The doctor said you're still a bit weak and shouldn't move around too much. I bought two chickens yesterday, which will help you recover. Why don't you stay here for a couple more days?"
Thank you.
Seeing that nothing was wrong, Grandma Yun and Grandpa Yun didn't bother them. Yun Ling and Yun Ruochun, seeing that he didn't mention the stolen clothes, also pretended that nothing had happened and went about their own business.
Qin Yu didn't stay in the cramped woodshed. He got up and left the room, realizing that his ordeal was even more dangerous than a mouse licking a cat's nose.
After traveling to the south of the Yangtze River, he made a few friends. During their conversation, they went to the Lean Horse Camp to broaden their horizons, but accidentally entered a study and discovered that it involved many officials in the court.
However, his entry into the study was quickly discovered. In a panic, he tore off a piece of evidence of the transaction and fled. He hid and fled along the way, enduring wind and rain. After finally escaping from Jiangnan, he hurriedly sent a message to his father via post station, asking for help.
But those people even dared to set fire to the post station in their pursuit of him, so he had no choice but to continue fleeing. He ran back to the border region and all the way up the mountain, but he was so hungry that he couldn't hold on any longer. He tried to take off his clothes to hide the evidence, but he was too weak and fainted.
When he woke up, he found that he had been rescued, but he was only wearing a white shirt and black pants and no shoes. It was probably because those people had taken away the evidence. Well, it was good that he had escaped with his life.
The sound of Yun Ruochun chopping wood pulled Qin Yu back to reality. Yun Ruochun was chopping wood fiercely. Just now, she had heard Old Lady Yun praising this person of unknown origin, and she seemed to be trying to bring them together.
She disagreed, so she deliberately put on a fierce look in front of Qin Yu to make him give up the idea. "You, come and chop wood."
Qin Yu looked around, then pointed to himself in confusion and asked, "Me?"
"Who else could it be but you? You've eaten so much of our chicken soup, and you still won't do any chores for us?"
Qin Yu said "Oh," and walked up to Yun Ruochun, saying with a serious expression, "I don't know how."
"You can't? You can't even chop wood?"
Qin Yu had indeed never chopped firewood. He had been born into a life of luxury and had never done any manual labor.
But Yun Ruochun wasn't about to let him off so easily. She gave him most of the firewood, saying, "If you don't finish chopping this today, don't even think about eating."
Qin Yu's lips twitched. "I really don't know how. Teach me."
Yun Ruochun picked up the axe, and with one strike, the firewood split in two.
"Oh, so how do you chop this piece of firewood?"
"That's simple, isn't it the same principle? Just cut straight down."
"Yes, this piece of firewood is growing a bit crooked."
Yun Ruochun didn't know why this person was so stupid, not even knowing how to chop something simple, so she took the round firewood he handed her and chopped it.
"And another thing, after splitting it in half, how do you split it again?"
"Just leave this half upright, then swing the axe down. See, it's that simple."
"Slow down, I couldn't see it clearly."
"..."
Yunling poked her little head out of the window, her eyes darting back and forth between the two people. She had a feeling that her aunt had been deceived.
