He just swallowed a lot of pain himself.
No matter how hard life is, it is not as painful as separation from loved ones.
Fortunately, fortunately the elder sister is back. She has found my younger brother. How far can she be?
But their mother will never come back, they just hope that their mother is just as their second sister said.
Mother turned into a star, watching them getting better and better in the sky. Mother would be relieved and happy.
"Actually, sister, in the past few years since I came to the county town, my fourth uncle would visit me every few days and teach me some words.
Over the years, I have memorized almost all of the Thousand Character Classic, and the Four Books and Five Classics."
Chaoge was about to pick up the pen again, but when she heard Yun Chaoyi's words, she was surprised and delighted and quickly retracted her hand, looking at her brother in disbelief.
"Really? You, you're really good!
Being an apprentice is hard enough, how do you still have time to memorize the Thousand Character Classic and the Four Books and Five Classics?"
Chaoge's surprised face was filled with excitement and joy that could not be concealed.
Yun Chaoyi smiled awkwardly and said, "Originally, my fourth uncle was going to recommend me to Shopkeeper Liang as an apprentice or a servant, but Shopkeeper Liang said that I can't read a single word and I can't help with many things.
He also said that since we were a child from a poor family, it would be better for us to learn a real skill, so he let me go to the kitchen to learn how to cook.
After hearing this, my fourth uncle decided to come and teach me every few days.
My fourth uncle also had a hard time. At that time, he had to go to the grocery store to help after school, and we would be busy until the beginning of the evening.
My fourth uncle held a torch and taught me how to draw strokes on the ground with burnt charcoal in the alley behind the restaurant..."
Chaoge listened quietly as Yun Chaoyi talked about the past with a smile on his face. Even though his words were full of sadness and hardship, his tone was full of happiness and yearning for the future.
Unconsciously, Chaoge's eyes became red again.
Three years ago, the boy in front of him was probably only eleven years old and at most about 1.4 meters tall.
He was so small, dark and thin, and not only did he have to work six or seven hours every day, but his fourth uncle, a weak scholar, had to do the physical work and then drag his tired body to teach him.
He did not disappoint his fourth uncle's high expectations, and both the uncle and nephew worked so hard.
This is why ordinary people, ordinary poor people, have to work harder than ordinary people to escape poverty.
"Sister, why are you crying?
Don't feel sorry for me. Although those years were hard and my fourth uncle had a hard time too, you came back and you let us eat white rice every day and we are no longer looked down upon by others.
I also learned to read and know the Four Books and Five Classics. I felt that all those hardships were no longer painful at all.
Those are my precious memories and what I can rely on in the future.”
The two brothers standing outside the house listened to the conversation between the siblings inside, and as they laughed, tears began to flow down their faces.
Everyone in the Yun family works so hard. Apart from their humble origins, what's wrong with them?
One day, all members of the Yun family will live a good life.
It was also God's will that Chaoge went through countless hardships, but he finally came back with a lot of skills.
Her return made the Yun family more motivated about the future than ever before.
Chaoge handed the drawn shelves and counter sketches to Yunxuan so that Yunxuan could have them customized in advance.
On the third day after Tang Mihe was caught cheating in bed, the manager of the pawnbroker came to her door in person.
"Miss Yun, you really are a prophet!
Tang Mihe came to my shop today and said she wanted to sell all the yards and shops she bought.
And the sooner the better.”
When Chaoge saw the manager of the dental clinic coming, he knew that this was the good news.
"So was it the price you quoted that nearly pissed them off to death?"
The pawnbroker's manager grinned and said, "Of course, I will follow your instructions, Miss Yun, and give them the price.
You didn’t see it at the scene, the old woman’s face turned green!”
“That’s good, if you are more resolute, I won’t ask for more from you if you take those yards back.
I want the five-yard house I liked before, and the two shops. You can take the rest and make a lot of money secretly."
"Okay, we are so close, I will definitely pay you the original price, Miss Yun. Even for the transfer of the property deed, I won't charge you a single penny.
Miss Yun, you are my God of Wealth. If there are such good things in the future, don’t forget me.
By the way, I have worked with you for several shows, but Miss Yun, you still don’t know my name, right?
Let me introduce myself. My surname is Zhu and my given name is Da.
Miss Yun, just call me Zhu Da from now on."
Chaoge nodded and served Zhu Daming a cup of tea: "After so many interactions, we can be considered friends.
Don't worry, if you have good things in the future, think of me, and if I have good things, I will not forget you either."
In the yard, Yunchang, who was brushing Dahong's fur, looked over the horse's back at Zhu Da, who was sitting in the main room with his daughter, with an unpleasant expression on his face.
No matter how you look at this scene, it looks like the two of them are discussing something bad, as if they are in cahoots with each other.
Two days later, Tang Mihe, unable to bear the pressure any longer, sold all the houses she had purchased for more than 20,000 taels of silver, and only got back more than 7,000 taels of silver.
Chaoge got the five-courtyard house as she wished, for only 1,800 taels, which was 200 taels less than the price she offered when she first bargained.
The two shops cost a total of one thousand taels, which was lower than the original selling price of the landlord.
Chaoge didn't even spend half of the money he earned indirectly from Tang Mihe, but he got what he wanted, which shocked Yunchang.
"How, how did you do this?"
"It's called psychological warfare. I figured she would sell those houses quickly in the end, so I took advantage of her misfortune."
Yunchang and his companions had no idea that they almost died in a sea of fire that night.
He had no idea that the so-called psychological tactics mentioned by Chaoge was actually Chaoge's counterattack against Tang Mihe.
“Bang, bang, bang.”
Just as the family was sitting around the table, watching Chaoge show off the three house deeds he had obtained, someone suddenly knocked on the gate of Yunxuan's house.
Yunxuan frowned, thinking that Zhu Da had come back again.
But when he opened the door, the person who came almost surprised him.
"Yunxuan, it turns out it's really you?
How can you be so mean?
I was also under pressure and had to fire you!
In order to take revenge on me, you actually brought two leopards and went to the gate of my private school early in the morning to scare the students?
If I hadn’t been following the leopard today, I wouldn’t have known that the leopard was yours!
Now that the private school has been messed up by those two leopards, the students are all silent and no students in the county dare to go to the private school.
You, you are not worthy of being a scholar. You are simply bringing shame to scholars!
You are really despicable!"
