Oh no! Seven kids at the start, all yellow and skinny.

Chapter 112 Return to the Village

Guo Yining and Cuiqin's expressions changed. They hadn't expected this person to recognize them at a glance. However, they couldn't back down now, so they followed him to the backyard.

"Miss Guo, what are you doing here?"

"Sister Yun, do you know me?"

The two spoke almost in unison.

"Hehe." Yunyi laughed, "You were able to escape because I delivered the letter to you."

"What?" Guo Yining's eyes widened in surprise.

"I overheard that the Huo family was looking for a woman with all Yin elements in her birth chart to be used as a medicinal ingredient, and you have all Yin elements. In order to prevent you from being harmed, I had no choice but to send the message to your grandmother. However, whether you can escape depends on your family's attitude. It seems that your family loves you very much."

"Thank you." Guo Yining knelt down immediately.

"Alright, it's good that you're alright." Yunyi helped him up. "What are your plans now?"

Guo Yining sniffed, suppressing the stinging in her eyes: "I'm going to Jinan, but I ran into that Taoist priest before, and then Lord Huo came after me. My three guards lured them away. I just sent another guard to deliver a message. I'll leave once I've hired a carriage here, but..."

After Zhang Huyuan left, Guo Yining realized with a start that Jinan was a thousand miles away. Even with a carriage and then a waterway, it would probably take more than a month to get there safely. She and Cuiqin, two women who were not strong enough to even kill a chicken, had no chance of getting there safely.

“But you can’t guarantee you’ll arrive in Jinan safely.” Yun Yi sighed. “However, since you’ve come to me, it’s fate. Write me a letter or give me an item, and I’ll have someone go find your parents and have them send someone to escort you away again.”

"Okay." Guo Yining nodded hurriedly, revealing a bright smile, "From now on, you'll be my Sister Yun too."

"Whatever." Yunyi was too lazy to correct her. "But this is a workshop, and it's not convenient for you and Cuiqin to stay here. So, come with me to the village."

"it is good."

"However, conditions in the village are much harsher than here..."

"I'm not afraid, really." Guo Yining quickly shook her head. "When I'm at home, I do a lot of things myself. Although I don't know kung fu, I'm not a delicate little thing who can't do anything. I can embroider, I can cook, and my specialty is growing flowers..."

Yunyi chuckled: "Alright, I have seven children at home... now there are nine, plus a few from the village, all of them are in school. My mother, husband, and wife all live there, so you can just help them out."

"Okay." Guo Yining nodded hurriedly. "Then you can just call me Ning'er, and I won't mention my surname, okay?"

"can."

……

Old Zhou drove over in his carriage, and when he saw Yunyi, he was overjoyed: "Girl, everyone missed you so much, it's so good to have you back."

Yunyi nodded: "Is everything alright at home?"

"It's great, the children are studying very hard, especially Da Bao. The teacher said that this child is extremely talented and will definitely be a top scholar in the future." Old Zhou started talking as soon as he saw Yun Yi. "Oh, and there's that Li Lai's mother from before. She came again, but she got beaten up by the monkeys again, haha..."

"The monkey hit people?" Cuiqin couldn't help but ask.

“Of course!” Old Zhou perked up even more immediately. “We don’t know about monkeys in other places, but the monkeys of Qinglong Mountain are all our pets…”

Cuiqin and Guo Yining couldn't help but gleam with interest. Keeping a mountain of monkeys as pets? That's... a bit much, isn't it?

However, when the carriage entered the village and stopped in front of the large tiled house, the master and servant finally believed it when they saw colorful monkeys all around them.

Yunyi's lips twitched as she watched. She had thought Jia Liu was joking, but she hadn't expected that she would actually make a little outfit for each monkey.

When the monkeys saw Yunyi arrive, they seemed to be showing off, and quickly lined up and walked the runway twice.

The former Monkey King with the square face even struck a pose and winked at Yunyi.

Yunyi shuddered instinctively.

Sixteen rushed over and slapped the former Monkey King. How dare he flirt with the boss? He's got some nerve!

The former monkey king turned and ran away, feeling wronged.

"Boss, you're finally back! Waaah..." Sixteen turned and rushed towards Yunyi. "I've kept a close watch on the house."

"Is everything alright at home?" Yunyi grabbed it and threw it away. "Don't come near me, you shed."

sixteen:……

Why am I always the one who's hurt?

Just then, a white ball of fluff rushed over.

Yunyi grabbed Shiba by the back of the neck. Although the fluffy fur was cute, it shed a lot, and she hated it when her clothes were covered in animal hair.

Eighteen also groaned twice, clearly hurt.

Sixteen was happy, as long as it wasn't the only one who got hurt.

Guo Yining and Cuiqin were dumbfounded. Not only were there monkeys, but there were also foxes, all white and fluffy, they really wanted to touch them.

Yunyi knew that girls were basically unable to resist furry things, so she simply stuffed Eighteen into Guo Yining's arms: "That monkey king is called Sixteen, this fox is called Eighteen, and the one flying in the sky is called Nineteen. As long as you don't attack them, they will treat you as friends."

"Eighteen." Guo Yining and Cuiqin were immediately overjoyed, their eyes practically popping out of their sockets.

"Yunyi, you're back." Xia Songshi ran out with a spatula in her hand, her eyes red.

"Mother, I'm back." Yunyi nodded.

"It's good that they're back. They still have fifteen minutes before get out of class ends, which is just in time for lunch."

Yunyi nodded, introduced Guo Yining and the other person, and then went to the classroom. All the desks and chairs for the class had been delivered, so the children no longer had to study around the dining table, making the room much brighter.

Although they knew she had returned and that she was watching from outside the window, apart from Xiao Qibao who kept glancing at her, the rest of them were still listening attentively to the teacher's lesson.

However, Jia Xiucai seemed to realize that if he continued, everyone might lose focus, so he quickly ended the class.

"Mom!" Little Qibao was the first to run out and pounce on her.

Yunyi picked him up in one go: "Little Bao isn't paying attention in class."

"I saw my mother, I miss my mother." Qibao kept rubbing her little face against Yunyi's.

Yunyi's heart melted completely, and she gave Xiaobao a quick kiss on the cheek: "Mommy missed Xiaobao too."

Xiao Bao giggled.

At this moment, the other kids also gathered around.

Yunyi then put Qibao down, squatted down and opened her arms: "Whoever misses their mother can come over for a hug and a kiss."
