But now that we've already moved, there's not much we can say.
With a new home and Zheng Mulan helping to look after the children, Liu Yun and Yu Qian can now focus on making money.
Zheng Mulan didn't say anything, because she knew that their family was under a lot of pressure, with three children!
A few years later, Liu Yun found out she was pregnant again. When she confirmed the news, it was like a bolt from the blue.
Zheng Mulan and Yu Jiefang's first reaction upon hearing the news was joy, as having many children is a blessing not everyone has. However, their next reaction was worry.
After all, having another child means more pressure and more expenses.
The couple's worries became even more apparent when Liu Yun was four months pregnant with twins, meaning that Yu Qian and Liu Yun would have five children to raise.
From now on, there will be five jobs, plus five dowries and betrothal gifts.
In Tuan Tuan Yuan Yuan's generation, the dowries for his brothers' weddings, including the Qian family's gifts, amounted to nearly a thousand yuan. The same goes for their jobs; Yu Qian and Yu Qian each received five portions.
Therefore, Yu Qian and Liu Yun need to save 10,000 yuan within seventeen or eighteen years.
This meant that the two of them had to save more than 500 yuan a year. With such high household expenses, Zheng Mulan became increasingly anxious as she calculated, and a few strands of her hair turned white.
Upon discovering this, Yu Qian quickly comforted Zheng Mulan, explaining that their family had enough money. He earned about a hundred yuan a month, and Liu Yun earned a little over thirty, so saving a hundred yuan a month was no problem at all.
Yu Qian had to persuade Zheng Mulan to calm down, but he secretly started saving money for the two of them. Since the second and third sons had each found a job, he would give money to the eldest and fourth sons.
When Liu Yun was seven months pregnant, the situation had calmed down, so Zheng Mulan invited Liu Lamei to come and take care of Liu Yun again, since there were three other children in the family and she couldn't manage on her own.
On the sixteenth day of the first month of the following year, Liu Yun gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, and Zheng Mulan couldn't stop smiling.
The twins, a boy and a girl, are named Dangdang and Maomao. It's common for boys here to have Maomao as their nickname, and they're usually the youngest children. They were both married by Yu Qianhe, which shows that Yu Qianhe didn't want to have any more children.
Yu Qian and Liu Yun never planned to have any more children. Liu Yun's triplets really scared him, so this was a real accident.
This time, Liu Lamei didn't stay as long as before, but she still took care of Dangdang and Maomao until they were over a year old. Liu Yun originally planned to keep her for a few more years, but unexpectedly, there were some problems in her hometown, so she couldn't stay.
However, Tuantuan, Yuanyuan, and Beibei are already in school and don't need much care, so Zheng Mulan can manage on her own.
Liu Yun and Yu Qian originally wanted to find someone to help them out, but Zheng Mulan was unwilling, as she was not comfortable with it.
In recent years, Yu Qian has discussed with Yu Jiefang and Zheng Mulan several times the idea of Yu Jiefang retiring, since he is already so old.
But Yu Jiefang was unwilling, firstly because he genuinely loved the job, and secondly because he wanted to save more money.
But now that it seems Zheng Mulan is struggling to raise the child alone, Yu Jiefang has decided to retire.
Gao Lan was furious when she heard that Yu Jiefang had retired.
After all, Gao Lan had her eye on Yu Jiefang's job. Although she knew it was impossible, she still wanted Yu Jiefang to get Yu Ke into the job.
Although both families had strained relations with the old house, Yu Ke and his family were still Yu Jiefang's grandsons after all.
So she thought Yu Jiefang would at least lend a hand, but to her surprise, Yu Jiefang not only didn't help, but also scolded their whole family.
Now that she heard that Yu Jiefang had retired, she knew that the matter was completely hopeless and there was no hope left. How could she not be angry? Not only was she angry, but Yu Qianyou and Yu Ke were also angry.
Under Gao Lan's daily brainwashing, Yu Ke was also looking forward to working under Yu Jiefang, but now that dream has completely fallen through.
Yu Jiefang and Zheng Mulan didn't care at all about what their family thought.
In recent years, apart from Yu Jiefang and Zheng Mulan's birthdays and the Lunar New Year, Yu Qianyou and Yu Qianwen's family have never visited the old house. However, even if they did visit, Zheng Mulan would not accept their gifts and would simply pretend not to see them.
Zheng Mulan and Yu Jiefang both knew that the reason the two families would still shamelessly come to their door after all they had done was because they knew there was still profit to be made from the old house. However, Zheng Mulan simply ignored them and wouldn't let them get a share of it.
Liu Yun and Yu Qianhe did not treat Dangdang and Maomao differently; after they turned two, Liu Yun sent them to a daycare center.
Since the nursery and the primary school where the triplets attended were both close to the old house, Yu Jiefang and Zheng Mulan moved back to the old house.
Liu Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing her empty home.
Her mother-in-law was good in every way, except she loved to nag, always worried that they would waste money. Liu Yun understood this, since Zheng Mulan didn't know she had a spatial ability and that the things she brought home were free.
Their household expenses are very high, both now and in the future.
But she still couldn't stand people talking in her ear, so she breathed a sigh of relief when Zheng Mulan and Yu Jiefang went back to the old house.
Yu Qianhe didn't say anything when he saw Liu Yun like this. He knew that she didn't dislike his parents, she was just not used to it.
To be honest, he wasn't used to it either, since he didn't know how to tell his parents that they had a lot of money.
His parents only knew that he had income outside, but they didn't know how much, and he couldn't tell them exactly how much he earned or what he was doing with it.
After all, although his father was relatively open-minded, he was still a policeman who caught up in speculation and profiteering, and he used to be a soldier.
If he knew that his highest income outside was only a hundred yuan a day, he wasn't sure if his father would be willing to turn against him and kill him, because the possibility was really high.
