Rebirth: From being expelled from the imperial court to becoming a high-ranking official

After the two children were taken home, they slept for a long time. It was not until the evening when someone from the Li family came to pick them up that Qin Yunhe woke Yuger up.

Although both children were fine, after this incident, Yu Ru no longer dared to let them run around, and decided to send the two children to Qin Chong's house when she was busy.

But after just one visit, Yuger raised objections.

"Master's wife, I will definitely let you know if I go out to play again. I will never run around randomly again. We don't want to go to Master's uncle's house anymore. It's not fun at all." Yu Ge'er said with a bitter face.

Ruyi also nodded seriously with a stern face, "Mom, I don't want to go either."

Yu Ru laughed at Yu Ge'er and Ru Yi's bitter and resentful expressions, and suspected that they were in collusion.

If I didn't know Qin Chong well, I would almost think that the big brother bullied the two kids.

"Why don't you want to go? Isn't it good for you to have your aunt and several brothers to play with you?"

"They are too old, they don't play with us, and they always ask me to recite to them."

Ruyi also nodded seriously to show her agreement.

Qin Yunhe heard this from the side and tapped Yu Ge'er's head gently with his fingers: "You are only thinking about playing. Your homework has been a mess recently and your teacher has not scolded you. You are just indulging yourself because your teacher is too busy to supervise you."

When Yu Ru saw how Qin Yun taught Yu Ge'er, she stopped talking.

Yuger was stunned by what he said, and was obviously feeling a little guilty.

Recently, Qin Yunhe has been giving him lessons in the morning and giving him some homework in the afternoon. After he finishes it, he can go out and play with Ruyi.

Yuger is still a child after all. He found that the teacher has not been checking strictly recently. Also, because he has relaxed for a few days and is in high spirits to play, he has become a little slack in doing his homework.

"What did the gentleman tell you?"

Yu Ge'er said with some regret: "Studying is not a one-day job. It requires daily diligence to make gradual progress and eventually achieve success."

As he said this, Yu Ge'er lowered his head and said, "Sir, I was wrong. I will never play around again."

Qin Yunhe touched his head and said gently, "It's not that you can't play. You can play as much as you want when you want to play. The teacher is not a strict person. But you have to study seriously when you study. You can't be perfunctory."

"Sir, I understand."

Ruyi, who was sitting obediently on the side, also felt that the atmosphere was a bit "heavy". Seeing Brother Yu lower his head, he suddenly sighed deeply: "Alas——"

It seems like Ti Yuge'er is sighing.

Qin Yunhe burst out laughing at his daughter's little adult-like voice, and tapped his daughter's forehead: "Why are you sighing, little girl?"

Ruyi's voice was soft and gentle, and she solemnly assured Yu Ge'er: "Brother Yu will never play around again, Daddy, please don't talk about him anymore."

Yuger and Qin Yunhe were amused by Ruyi again.

In the end, Yuger and Ruyi pestered Qin Yunhe for a long time, and finally Qin Yunhe agreed that Yuger could go to the backyard, which had not yet been repaired, to do homework and play after class, but he must not disturb Qin Si.

Although there were two older brothers, Qin An and Qin Shi, they were not very good at teasing Yuger to recite to them, so Yuger Ruyi readily agreed.

When Qin Yunhe and Qin Si's rooms were almost renovated, there were indeed a lot of materials left.

Chen Er felt sorry for Qin Yunhe as he saw so many leftover adobe bricks and rafters.

"Where can I put so many? I can only ask around to see if there's anyone who needs them and I can give them some. I don't know how much discount I can get."

Qin Yunhe said, "No need to put it down or turn it. The existing bricklayers, adobes and rafters are just right for repairing your house."

"What?" Chen Er thought he had heard wrongly: "How can I afford to build a house now?"

"We don't want any money from you. It's a lot anyway, so just use it. You led the people to make these adobes, so isn't it just right for you to use them?"

"Don't ask, my house is fine now. It doesn't leak anymore after the last repair."

"You only built one and a half rooms, right? You can't always leave half of it collapsed."

Chen Er's house originally should have had three rooms, but when Chen Er and his family arrived, half of it had collapsed, and the remaining two rooms often leaked.

His family had been planning to repair it when they had more money, but they never did. If the leak was severe, they would repair the roof of the sleeping room.

Later, Chen Er was the only one left in the family. He finally saved some money, but he used it to buy land.

"These adobe bricks and rafters will be eaten by bugs if they have nowhere to store them for a long time. Isn't it just right to build a house for you?"

"Ah Wen, it's really not necessary. If you don't find someone to transfer it, it won't be wasted."

This is not just a few vegetable dumplings or a meal. How much does so much cost for so many ingredients?

"I'll fix it if you ask me to." Qin Yunhe leaned over and said with a smile, "I heard Aunt Xu has arranged a marriage for you. How can you get married if you don't fix the house?"

Chen Er's face suddenly turned red, he scratched his head and smiled, but his mood was a little low: "I did say it, but I didn't agree. What hope do I have in my life? Why should I let the young lady suffer with me?"

Perhaps Chen Er had the same opinion in his previous life, so he never got married again.

"So, fix up the house first. Now that you have the land and the house, it's just right for you to marry a relative so that you can live a better life."

"Ah Wen, you have helped me a lot. You registered my land in your name and didn't ask for rent. I don't know how much I have borrowed from your family for food and other necessities over the years. Although you didn't say it, I still remember it in my heart. But I can't do anything for you. I can't keep taking advantage of you like this..."

Qin Yunhe really wanted to say that he had done a lot for himself.

In his previous life, if Chen Er had not often come to accompany him and comfort him, he really would not have been able to survive the days after his family was broken up.

Although the eldest brother and his friends would bring him some food from time to time, they probably couldn't bear to see him looking so hopeless and self-destructive, so apart from comforting him a few times at the beginning, they ignored him afterwards.

It’s just because of family ties that I can’t bear to see him starve to death at home.

As for whether he ate or not, no matter how depressed he felt, he didn't seem to care much.

Chen Er, on the other hand, often came to see him, sometimes bringing him wild fruits, sometimes telling him new things.

I never tire of comforting him, persuading him to look at things in a positive light, and persuading him to eat.

In fact, Qin Yunhe had gradually come to terms with it. If the accident hadn't happened, he would probably have slowly started to live a normal life.

It’s a pity that Qin Yunhe couldn’t tell Chen Er these words.

"Why can't you do anything for me? I went to the county to study and to take the provincial examination. Didn't you help with farm work at home? Didn't you make the adobe bricks for the house renovation this time? You work every day, but you earn less money every day. When did you ever ask me for your wages?"

"This is nothing..."

"You think these are nothing, and I also think those meals and a few vegetable dumplings are nothing. As for the land being registered under my name, I didn't do anything, so it can't be counted as anything."

Qin Yunhe ignored his refusal and directed the bricklayer to go to Chen Er's house.

"No, Awen, don't go yet..." Chen Er continued to try to stop Qin Yunhe.

"Okay, don't refuse. You made all these adobe bricks, and there aren't many rafters. Just use these materials to repair as much as you can and don't buy more materials, okay?"
