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

Chapter 12 How to Forgive

Fortunately, Yunyi had kept all the food in the kitchen, where the food was good, so none of it was wasted.

The only pity is that the bowls and chopsticks used for eating were smashed, and the clothes that were made before were also smashed in the ruins. They were inevitably damaged when they were pulled out, but they can still be used after washing.

In addition, Yunyi's camphor wood chest was intact.

As for the rest of the house, even if it were thrown into the ruins, no one would necessarily pick it up.

Xia Songshi could only gasp for breath, her heart aching, and dared not say anything more.

"Tianyin's mother, what happened?" Just then, village chief Xia Baolai arrived with some people.

"Sigh." Xia Songshi couldn't help but sigh, "Village chief, we... are going to cause trouble for everyone again."

Xia Baolai frowned: "Let's not talk about that now. It's so late, let's find a place to stay first, the child is still young." He glanced at the people who had come with him, "My house can accommodate two people, does any of your houses have room available..."

“Village Chief,” Wang Tianshun hurriedly said, “I have room at my house. The girl can share a room with Qiao’er, and the boy can stay in the side room. My place is nearby, so let’s not bother the others. Let’s make do for now and plan for the rest tomorrow.”

"In that case, let's leave it at that for now and talk about everything tomorrow." Xia Baolai nodded. "Tianyin's mother, hurry up and pack your things and head over."

They made the decision without consulting the Xia family or even glancing at Yun Yi, completely ignoring her.

Yunyi didn't say anything either. After all, it was perfectly normal for the original owner to be disliked because of her previous actions. She still needed to work hard to change people's perception of her.

Moreover, the village chief and Wang Tianshun's decisions were all for their family's good, and she is not someone who cannot distinguish right from wrong.

Because of his medical skills, Wang Tianshun was very popular. People from several surrounding villages would come to him for treatment if they had a headache or fever. He didn't charge much, and people would bring him food and other necessities as a token of their gratitude. So, his family lived a decent life.

At least there are extra mattresses for the Xia family to use.

It's quite hot, so there's no need to cover yourself with a blanket.

“Yunyi, don’t blame the child and…and that monkey, they…” Xia Songshi said cautiously as she lay down, “They didn’t mean it, they…”

"It's alright." Yunyi glanced at Xia Songshi. "The original house wasn't very warm, so we can build a new one." Remembering how the original owner felt last winter, she didn't want to go through it again.

"Build a house?" Er Ya, who had been lying down, suddenly sat up. "Dad had saved enough money to build a house, but you spent it all. You even sold all the cotton clothes and quilts at home. Now... where do you have the money to build a house?" She choked up as she spoke.

Sanya quickly got up, grabbed Erya's hand, and glared at Yunyi: "Don't think that you can make us forgive you just because you cooked two meals."

Xia Songshi wanted to say something more, but in the end she couldn't help but shut her mouth and just hugged Wuya tightly as she got up.

Yunyi couldn't help but sigh: "Then how can you forgive me?"

This question stumped Sanya, who couldn't help but look at Erya and Xia Songshi.

“We will forgive you unless you return Father’s money,” Er Ya said after thinking for a moment.

“That’s right, all the money Uncle Tianyin saved up has been squandered by you, woman,” Qiao’er said, pouting.

"Then what is this?" Yunyi pulled a purse out of her bosom and threw it to Erya.

Er Ya hurriedly took it and opened it, exclaiming, "Silver?" Her eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. She then handed it to Xia Songshi, saying, "Grandma, take a look quickly, is this silver?"

Xia Songshi took it and looked at it: "Yes, it's twenty taels."

“Your father saved up fifteen taels of silver back then. I had some good fortune on the mountain today, so I’ll return twenty taels to you now. Is that alright?”

"Is...is it okay?" Er Ya stammered, and couldn't help but look at San Ya.

"Is it okay?" Sanya hesitated, then looked at Qiao'er.

“Well…” Wang Qiao’er grabbed a handful of hair, “Grandfather said that people should keep their word, and I think… I think since she has returned the money, then…” She couldn’t finish her sentence.

Yunyi, however, did not intend to get caught up in their worries. Instead, she lay down and said, "I'm going to sleep. I'll go find Village Chief Cu first thing tomorrow morning to build a house." Then she closed her eyes.

The maids wanted to say something, but in the end they all shut up. After all, they had just said that they would forgive her as long as she took out the money. Now that she had taken out the money, they were reluctant, but they couldn't break their promise.

Meanwhile, Sixteen was receiving affection from Sibao in the next room. Although the little guy couldn't speak, his actions showed that he really liked Sixteen and was genuinely trying to comfort it, afraid that it would be frightened.

【Waaah, boss, what a wonderful child! How could the original owner bear to hit him? How could she bear to sell him?】Since Sixteen got a body, her emotions have gradually become richer. She often whimpers and is almost becoming a whimpering monster.

After calling for a long time without getting a response, it discovered that it had been blocked by the other party again. It was so angry that it could only squeak for a while. After it regained its energy, it heard Tian Tian nagging in her ear until she begged for mercy.

It startled several boys who were just falling asleep, waking them up.

Sixteen knew he had gotten into trouble, so he simply lay down to the side, stretched out his legs, and went to sleep.

Da Bao glanced at Shi Liu, then patted Si Bao: "Go to sleep."

Silent all night.

The next day, Yunyi got up early. Farmers get up early, especially now, in April, when the summer harvest is just around the corner. Even if the harvest is small, it's still enough to feed the whole family. So, almost everyone is busy tending to the crops in the fields, so they naturally get up early.

She went straight to the village chief's door and blocked Xia Baolai, who was about to leave with a hoe on his back.

"Tianyin's wife, is something the matter?" Xia Baolai didn't particularly like Yunyi, but because she was a man and an elder, he didn't give her a hard time, only speaking in a flat tone.

"Village chief, I'm thinking about the house."

"Hmm? Building a house? That's a good thing, but do you have the money?" Xia Baolai got angry just thinking about it. Xia Tianyin had come to him before, saying he had saved up money to build a house, but before he could even start, he disappeared into the mountains, and his money was squandered by this woman.

"Yes." Yunyi naturally understood what the other party meant and nodded directly. "I wouldn't dare to come to the village chief if I didn't have money."

"Really?"

"Grandpa Village Chief." At this moment, Er Ya ran over, carrying a purse in her hand, followed by San Ya and Qiao Er. "This is... the silver she gave me."

Xia Bao glanced at Yun Yi, took the purse, and looked at it: "Twenty taels?"
