Chapter 31: Strategy for Warlords in the Age of War 2

The old lady of the Yu family couldn't help but get angry when she heard this. She slammed the table and said angrily, "Is this how you talk to your elders? You are so sharp-tongued and thin-tongued, just like someone from a small family. You are so vulgar and vulgar!"

Cheng Cheng's aunt was unhappy. She stood up and pointed at the old lady of the Yu family and said, "You..."

"Alright! You're arguing so early in the morning without even having breakfast. Let's stop haggling over trivial matters." Old Man Yu stood up and supported Cheng Cheng's mother, lecturing her, "You too, why are you haggling over mother? You're ruining our morning."

He winked at the man and let the matter go for his sake. He would get a reward when he returned.

Chengcheng's aunt snorted and turned her head to the side, shook off Old Man Yu's hand and sat down, ignoring the smug face of Old Lady Yu.

The dinner table fell silent, and the Yu family members all started eating in silence.

After dinner, Father Yu followed Aunt Cheng Cheng back to the side yard.

Aunt Cheng Cheng rolled her eyes at him in complaint and said, "Tell me, what do you think happened at the dinner table just now?"

At the beginning, she saw her family falling into poverty, and she had no choice but to choose the Yu family, which had relatively good conditions. She insisted on becoming a concubine despite her parents' advice, which made her parents so angry that they broke off the relationship with her.

They thought her actions brought disgrace upon the family and brought shame upon the family.

The Yu family has never had any contact with her for so many years, but she has suffered a lot since she married into the family. She used to be the daughter of a county magistrate, but now she is someone else's concubine. Her status has been lowered and she has to be criticized and have to look at other people's faces in the Yu family. What kind of life is this?

"How about I give you all the small yellow croakers I got from selling the livestock? Don't be angry. Mom is just like that. You know it's not just one or two days."

Just a small yellow croaker is enough to get rid of her. Do you really think she is a pet of the Yu family? !

"No, there are too few small yellow croakers. You should add some more weights." Aunt Cheng Cheng rolled her eyes.

"Then I'll give you a gold bracelet with dragon and phoenix patterns and 30 dollars, is that okay?" Old Man Yu said reluctantly. This gold bracelet is a new style, originally a gift for the new concubine, but now he has to use it to appease the burning backyard.

Aunt Cheng Cheng was satisfied now, and sighed slightly, "Okay, forget it, bring the things over."

Old Man Yu signaled the servant to take it out and hand it to Aunt.

Chengcheng walked into the side yard, heard the conversation in the house stop, and went forward and knocked on the door.

"Dad, Aunt, I have something to talk to you about."

Father Yu watched his aunt put away the money and bracelet, and said, "Come in, Cheng'er."

Cheng Cheng walked slowly into the room and heard her cheap aunt saying, "What do you want from us?"

"Dad, aunt, I heard from the teacher that the situation around us has been unstable recently, and our Anjiatun might also fall. I think if we don't leave now for a while, we won't be able to leave, so I came to discuss with you about moving away so that we can hide first." She looked at the two of them with concern.

Old Man Yu stroked his goatee and said nonchalantly, "Don't worry. No matter what, the enemy can't defeat us. Don't listen to the teacher's alarmist words!"

Cheng Cheng pretended to cover her mouth with tears and choked up softly, "Dad, you see, City Cao... just thought they wouldn't be attacked, so they were wiped out. As long as we have money, we can always make a comeback. If we don't leave now, I'm afraid our family... will be wiped out."

"I won't leave. Our family's property and status are all here in Anjiatun. If I leave here, I'll be leaving my roots, and your grandmother won't agree."

Thinking about his elderly mother, who loved to put on airs at home, she would be miserable without them. He didn't want his mother to leave home at such an old age and feel anxious and homesick.

Old Man Yu refused to leave, but Aunt Chengcheng, who had been listening for a long time, was moved and wanted to leave.

She loves money the most, but when the money is there but the person is gone, everything is gone. She wants to live a good life and enjoy life in the next life.

"Cheng'er, Mom wants to leave. If your dad doesn't agree, then let's go."

Father Yu looked at her seriously and said in a commanding tone, "Why are you leaving? Just leave and be a good aunt at home."

Aunt Cheng Cheng's eyes widened as she said angrily, "I've made up my mind. I must leave. If you don't agree, then we can separate."

"Let's break up, don't regret leaving my Yu family." He really spoiled her. She didn't know her position in the family. A concubine dared to contradict him. In comparison, the new concubine was gentler and more considerate.

When Aunt Cheng Cheng heard what Father Yu said, she felt that she had made a mistake and should not have been his concubine for so many years just for his money. He had no sincerity towards her and treated her as he wanted.

Once a woman is completely disappointed, there is no greater sorrow than a dead heart.

"Okay, okay, this is what you said. I can leave, but I have invested so much love in you over the years, you have to compensate me."

Old Man Yu shook his head and laughed. He didn't expect that she would talk about money in the end. Thinking back to the past, it flashed through his mind like a movie.

Since she has been with him for so many years, he is not stingy. Just compensate her. If he loses her, he can still have another concubine.

"I'll give you a breakup fee. After you get it, leave my Yu family." He signaled the servant with his eyes, "Go to the warehouse and get my little rosewood box."

"Yes, sir," the servant nodded and left.

When the box was brought back, Old Man Yu touched the precious box and handed it to Aunt Chengcheng.

"This box contains a box of gold bars. This is my breakup fee to you."

He took the box, opened it and saw that it was indeed full of gold bars. "I'll keep it. We'll pack up and leave today."

Cheng Cheng saw that his adopted parents had separated peacefully and quickly, and he immediately planned to leave. He hurriedly said to Old Man Yu, "Dad, can I take Xiao Xiu with me? She has served me since she was a child, and I can't bear to leave her."

"Take it, and watch your maid yourself."

After saying that, he waved his hand and left.

Aunt Cheng Cheng told them to pack up quickly, take the valuables with them, and keep the worthless things for later purchase in Beijing. Now that they were rich, they didn't have to be stingy and could spend their money as they pleased.

Chengcheng nodded and left with Xiaoxiu, returning to his room.

Just pack your things, take your valuable jewelry, take three or four pieces of clothes you like, and take your own small stash of cash.

Xiaoxiu had also packed her things. She didn't have anything valuable except clothes and the money the young lady had rewarded her with, so she took all of that with her this time.

The three of them packed up and reunited, walking out of the Yu family's door. Aunt Chengcheng looked back at the Yu family's gate.

She has been here for more than ten years and has suffered all kinds of humiliation. If she didn't stick up for herself, she would be criticized by Old Lady Yu and lose her looks.

Old Man Yu would not even look at her, and his love for her would no longer exist.

Now everything is over and it's a new beginning.

Aunt Chengcheng let out a long sigh, turned around, and walked away with the other two at a relaxed pace.

After entering the post station, they spent three dollars to rent a coachman and a Ferghana horse, and then they got on the carriage and waited to go to Peking.

It was not until the evening that the three of them arrived in Beiping City.

The mountain is rugged enough, no wonder few people know that the city of Peking is on the other side of the mountain.

After entering the city, they got off the carriage and the coachman drove the horses back to the post station, and Chengcheng and the others walked into an inn.

After booking a superior room, the three of them finally had a chance to rest.

They were traveling over mountains and hills, and the ride in the back of the carriage was bumpy. They couldn't delay for too long, so they had to keep on going without stopping.

This superior room in Peking is quite big and has two beds. Aunt Chengcheng arranged the beds. She and her daughter slept in the inner bed, and Xiaoxiu slept in the outer bed.

Xiaoxiu was very happy. This bed looked comfortable and soft. She didn't expect that she could sleep here. There were two beds, one for the young lady and one for the aunt. She had already prepared to sleep on the floor.

"Thank you, aunt."
