Quick wear: a good pregnancy, the treasure in the palm of an emperor's hand

Chapter 722 The sickly prince's beloved pet - rude and unreasonable 12

The scorching sun was baking the earth mercilessly. All the people in the big house who were working in the fields, as well as Liu Yin and Liu Lin, seemed to have their energy drained away. They were listless, like fish out of water, gasping for air weakly.

These people are lazy by nature and are not willing to work at all.

Yun Youran set strict rules: the tasks that needed to be completed would be clearly specified every day, and if they failed to achieve the goals on time, they would not be able to eat a single bite of food at night.

At first, everyone was still hoping for luck and tried to resist this rule.

As a result, after two consecutive nights of hunger, the pain brought by hunger finally overcame their inner resistance, and they had no choice but to compromise.

As the saying goes, more people means more work.

In the past, it would take the second and third rooms together more than a month to complete the work. Now, everyone in the first room, plus Liu Lin and Liu Yin, finished it in just one month.

Seeing that the farm work in the fields had come to an end, everyone thought they could relax and take a break, but Yun Youran immediately issued new instructions.

——They were required to go up the mountain to chop wood every day! They were not given any free time at all.

Because Old Lady Liu had treated the second wife in the same way before.

But in comparison, Yun Youran was much more merciful than Old Lady Liu. At least she didn't let them suffer from hunger.

Early that morning, the sun shone through the mottled leaves into the courtyard. After Yun Youran had breakfast, she looked at everyone in the family gathered together. She coughed lightly to attract everyone's attention, then turned to look at Liu Yang and Liu Lin who were sitting beside her, and said slowly:

"Uncle, Third Uncle, after all the firewood we have accumulated over the past few days, we now have enough to last until the end of the year.

Today, the two of you should go to the town to find some work to do! Earn some money to support your family."

As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Lin suddenly jumped up from the stool like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and shouted:

"Liu Ran! You are really talking without any pain in your waist! Do you think you can find a job easily?"

Yun Youran narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes, and her voice became gloomy:

"Uncle San, it seems like you have forgotten the pain now that your wound has healed! I haven't dealt with you for just a few days, and you want to tear the roof off again?

I don't care whether it's easy to find a job or not. Anyway, from today on, you must give me five copper coins every day.

If you can't pay it back, then you won't have to step into this house again!"

Although Liu Yang, who remained silent, was afraid, he still spoke:

"Ran girl, it's not that we don't want to find work, it's just that the economy has been bad in recent years, and there are very few jobs available in town. It's really not easy to find a suitable job."

Yun Youran was not shaken by Liu Yang's words. She resolutely shifted her gaze to Liu Yang and said coldly:

"Uncle, I am not discussing with you today, but giving orders directly.

You are also aware of our family’s current situation. If we don’t earn some money to supplement our family’s income, we might not even have enough food to eat.

Anyway, I don’t care whether you are stealing or looking for work, you must hand over five copper coins to me every day, otherwise there is no need to discuss anything.”

Listening to her tough words, there was no room for negotiation. No matter how angry Liu Lin and Liu Yang were, it was of no use.

In fact, the Liu family’s work had been allocated before.

Liu Yang worked in a restaurant in the town, so his wife did the housework at home.

The second and third roommates are responsible for the farm work at home.

But because Liu Xiang was too lazy and her husband was the only one who earned money in the family, she cheated and left all the housework to the second and third wives.

Not only do the two families have to do farm work, but they also have to do housework when they have free time.

As for Liu Lin, he only had the reputation of doing farm work. When he got to the fields, the work was basically done by Zhao Lisi and her daughter, while he just hid from the sun under the tree and spent his days idling.

Seeing that Liu Lin and Liu Yang looked like they were about to cry, Yun Youran ignored them and continued, "Big brother and second brother, continue to go up the mountain to chop firewood.

Today, my eldest aunt, eldest sister and eldest aunt are responsible for washing all the clothes in the house.

The third aunt and the second sister clean the house and cook, the fourth sister and the sixth sister collect grass for the pigs, and the third brother is responsible for carrying the grass back home to feed the pigs.

As for my mother and second sister, they went up the mountain with me to pick wild vegetables.”

All the family members were arranged clearly, except for the three of them who had the easiest work.

Even so, no one dared to refute. If anyone expressed dissatisfaction, she would slap them.

After nearly two months, the Liu family members were so scared by her that they dared not have any other thoughts. Whatever she said was the truth.

The Liu family also thought about going to the town to report to the police, but as soon as they had this thought, they would immediately have a splitting headache and faint.

After trying several times, they no longer dared to do it, for fear of angering her and causing them to fall into a coma and never wake up again.

Yun Youran just watched them jumping around coldly. Anyway, his mental power was hitting their brains, so they couldn't make any waves.

As for his fourth uncle, he came back to have a meal, took five taels of silver from Old Lady Liu, and ran away. He has never come back since.

After arranging everything, Yun Youran took Gu Jiuyue and Liu Qingyin up the mountain.

Gu Jiuyue was carrying a backpack, while Yun Youran and Liu Qingyin were each carrying a basket.

The reason why Yun Youran wanted to go up the mountain was to see if he could find one or two ginsengs, sell them for some silver, and then use some of the silver in the space.

Even if she told Gu Jiuyue and the others that she had obtained some opportunities, she couldn't turn stones into gold!

So, first get some money, then sever ties with the Liu family, and then take Gu Jiuyue and the others straight to the capital.
