"Ginger-eyed wolf!"
"I've raised him for ten years, and all he needs is a shop. Why hesitate? If it were me, I would have given it to him long ago."
"Yes, and the sons are entitled to inherit the property left by their fathers. If we sue the government, the court will rule accordingly."
"Before Pei Yun saved Ruifeng County, I thought he was a real man, but I didn't expect him to be such an unrighteous and unfilial person."
The discussions among the people around were getting louder and louder. In their opinion, Yang Wanyi's request was reasonable.
Although Pei Yun is the eldest son, he cannot take all the family property alone. His younger brothers, sisters and adoptive mother are so miserable. Isn't it right to give Jinyunfang to them?
Liu Yiyi was extremely anxious as she listened to this. She was the only one who knew where these silks came from. They were not left by Pei Yi at all. But now Yang Wanyi insisted on it and she couldn't explain herself.
Seeing that the people's condemnation was getting more and more intense, Liu Yiyi said: "Brother Pei, since this is a family matter, why not let them come into the shop and talk..."
Pei Yun raised his hand to stop Liu Yiyi from speaking any further. He glanced at the onlookers, especially at the few places in the crowd that had set the pace before, and suddenly laughed.
He squatted down and helped Pei Yujiao up from her kneeling position. He brushed the dust off her clothes and said softly, "You have suffered a lot out there these years. Now that you have found me, I will naturally take care of you."
Hearing this, Yang Wanyi was secretly delighted: As expected, under the pressure of filial piety, he had to bow his head!
But Pei Yun continued, "Since mother and my brothers and sisters are not doing well, then follow me back to Qianhu Suo so that I can fulfill my filial duties."
Yang Wanyi's face changed. She just wanted the shop, but didn't want to go to the Qianhu Suo. If she went there, no one would know if she was killed by Pei Yun.
She said hurriedly: "No need, just give us Jinyunfang."
Pei Yun sighed, his tone sincere.
"Mother wants to open a shop because she is worried about not having enough money, right? Don't worry about that. I will give you money every month and you can spend it as you like. Now that you are old, you don't have to worry about it anymore. Just stay in Qianhu Suo and enjoy your life."
"Besides, since my brother has nothing to do, and the Qianhu Office is still short of manpower, why not let him join the army? He can gain experience and receive military pay. After he has made meritorious service, he may become a Qianhu like me."
"One family has two thousand households, isn't that a beautiful story!"
When Pei Mingde heard that he was going to join the army, he immediately panicked. How could he endure the hardship of being a soldier? Besides, people would die in war, and he didn't want to die.
Yang Wanyi was also anxious. She just wanted to make trouble and take advantage of others, but she didn't want to have anything to do with Pei Yun. Thinking of Pei Yanshu's words, she hurriedly said, "It's okay if you don't want to give Jinyunfang a shop. We just want Yunci Pavilion and support ourselves. We won't bother you."
"How can this be a problem? We are all family, and it is my duty to take care of you. Come on, follow me back to the Qianhu Office, so that I can repay you for your ten years of raising me."
“No…no…I won’t go!”
Yang Wanyi waved her hands hurriedly.
Pei Yun's smile remained unchanged, but his tone was strong and unyielding.
"Why not? Don't you want to reunite with me? Do you have another purpose for coming here today?"
Pei Yun raised his voice for the last sentence so that the people around him could hear it clearly.
Everyone came to their senses immediately.
Yes! If he came to recognize his relatives, why didn't he want to go back with Pei Yun?
Pei Yun said that he would give her money every month so she wouldn't have to worry about making a living. Isn't that a good thing?
Pei Feng was a little confused at this time. The script did not go as his grandfather had imagined. They had never thought that Pei Yun would recognize Yang Wanyi. After all, their relationship was not good.
I just wanted Pei Yun to give the shop to calm things down, but Pei Yun did this, which was not good. Just when I was about to add fuel to the fire, Pei Yun said loudly:
"My fellow villagers, I, Pei Yun, act uprightly. Today, since someone has questioned my unfilial nature, I swear here that from today on, I will take my foster mother and my younger brothers and sisters back to Qianhu to take care of them. My younger brothers and sisters will also be properly settled. If I tell even a single lie, God will strike me with lightning!"
In this era, swearing is also very important.
The people around nodded when they heard this.
"That's right. I said Captain Pei would not be an unfilial person."
"This has been sworn in, so it must be true. I envy this adoptive mother."
"I see this foster mother is hesitant, I'm afraid she has some ulterior motives?"
Yang Wanyi was in a dilemma at this time, her face turned pale and blue. If she continued to make trouble, it would be really unreasonable. Pei Yun already recognized her, and her previous excuses were untenable.
But she felt uneasy about going back with Pei Yun. When she raised Pei Yun, she was very strict with him, and she didn't expect Pei Yun to be filial to her at all.
"Okay, let's all go. The Qianhu Office is recruiting workers recently. Anyone with a skill can go and sign up. Two meals are provided, and the daily salary is 200 wen. I will never default on your payment."
Hearing Pei Yun's words, the eyes of the people lit up. They had also heard that the villagers living at the foot of Qingyan Mountain were living a better life because they went to work for the Qianhu Suo.
They also wanted to go, but the Qianhusuo had not come to the county town to recruit workers. Now that Pei Yun said it himself, they could go too.
The people with skills were immediately tempted. Two meals a day were more appealing to them than giving them money.
In an instant, everyone's image of Pei Yun changed completely. If anyone dared to say that Pei Qianhu was unrighteous and unfilial, they would be the first to disagree.
The onlookers gradually dispersed, and Pei Yun asked Chang Wei and others to forcibly take Yang Wanyi and the other two away.
Although Yang Wanyi was indeed not very nice to her predecessor, Pei Yun had never thought of taking revenge on her. This time she came to cause trouble, and she was probably being used as a gun by the Pei family. He just needed to take her back to the Qianhu Suo and keep her under custody.
