As he spoke, Yun Dazheng paused slightly, then threatened, "What? You even want to force yourself to learn the skills that the nobleman had taught us? Do you really think your bones are made of steel? Aren't you afraid that if the nobleman finds out and gets angry, you'll have to spit out everything, bones and all, and your whole family will be exhausted and suffer for no reason?"
It has to be said that the words "benefactor" still carry a lot of weight. After all, even now, that county magistrate is still protecting the old house.
Therefore, upon hearing Yun Dazheng's words, Wang Shufen's face paled, and she said awkwardly, "Dad, look at you, am I really going to force myself to learn your skills? I was just curious and wanted to ask."
As she spoke, she pursed her lips and muttered under her breath, "Besides, we can't write the same character 'Yun' with the same stroke. Even if we've separated, aren't we still family at heart? You tell me, apart from me and Xiangwen's mother, who in this house, big or small, isn't your blood relative..."
"Do you really need to use your connections to intimidate us?"
"You still know that everyone in this house, big and small, is my Yun Dazheng's bloodline? I asked my own grandson to help me with something, and you, as his daughter-in-law, are making excuses and refusing to let him help me. What kind of logic is that?"
Wang Shufen immediately protested, looking aggrieved, and said, "Dad...you've wronged me. When did I say I wouldn't let Fusheng help you?"
"As I just said, you are Fusheng Wansheng's grandfather, so it is only right that you ask Fusheng Wansheng and his brothers to help you."
Yun Dazheng, his face dark, said bluntly, "Then what was the meaning of all that rambling on at the end? Who do you think is a fool? Do you think this old man can't understand you?"
Wang Shufen's 'grievance' became even more obvious: "No, Dad, you've misunderstood again, haven't you? I was just telling you about the difficulties at home... Isn't it normal for a daughter-in-law to tell her father-in-law about the family's difficulties?"
“We have separated our households, but aren’t you still our elder, the children’s grandfather, and my father-in-law?”
Yun Dazheng sneered and said, "Who doesn't have their own difficulties? Who isn't living the same life as you? Is it not enough that I raised your husband and helped raise your grandson for many years? Now, this old man has to support all of you, big and small?"
“Dad…” Yun Youtian, who had been silent like a saw-through gourd, finally spoke up: “My wife didn’t mean that, and we didn’t mean for you to support us anymore. It’s just that spring is coming soon, and Fusheng is a strong laborer. If he really goes to help you repair the house, it will definitely affect the family’s livelihood.”
“We country folk don’t build houses right before spring. You told me that the year’s plan starts in spring, how come you’ve forgotten that?”
"You said before that our Yun family has been making a living from the land for generations. If we want to make a living, we have to be honest and work hard in farming."
"We're just following your teachings, aren't we? How did it become our fault, and that we need you to support us?"
"Dad, I did something terrible last year, but wasn't that because we were poor? We couldn't even feed ourselves, how could we afford to support someone else's child?"
