However, in Yun Xi’s eyes, the invitation came because Chen Li’s biological father wanted her to return as a free laborer. He might even get some gifts if Chen Li returned.
Chen Xin’s age was about the same as her own. However, based on the hierarchy, he was still her half-uncle.
If this Chen Xin turned out to be a decent human and respect his half-sister as he should, then everything would be fine.
However, this trip back to Chen Li’s parents’ house was bound to be an eventful one. What the Chen Family wanted was not just free labor on the day of the wedding and small gifts from a daughter.
They wanted even more.
“Sure, Yun Yang wants to go.” Yun Yang was the happiest when he heard about the wedding. It had been a long time since he had eaten a proper meal. When he thought about the possibility that there could be meatballs and braised fish, saliva began to trickle down the corners of his mouth.
Yun Yang answered Chen Li’s question first.
Chen Li then turned her head to look at Yun Xi.
“I’ll go with you. If there’s anything I can do to help, I’m sure I can help a little.” Yun Xi looked at Chen Li and nodded.
Yun Xi had a feeling that something bad would happen this time. With Chen Li’s personality, it was inevitable that she would suffer a loss. Yun Yang was still too young. Although his personality was a little similar to hers, most adults would not take a child’s actions to heart. She was also afraid that her younger brother would suffer.
“Xi Xi, if you leave, then I…” Yun Shan felt that his daughter had become a little different, especially after the advice she gave him today.
In Yun Shan’s entire life, he had never schemed against anyone, let alone his own family. Hence, he was afraid that something would happen. Once his daughter left, he felt that his support would be gone.
“Father, don’t worry. As long as you do as I say, there won’t be any major problems. I believe that you will definitely be able to complete this matter.”
Yun Xi exhorted Yun Shan. She knew that as long as Yun Shan was involved in matters related to his family, his rationality would be gone. However, compared to losing a job, the unknown trip to her mother’s house was something that Yun Xi was more worried about.
Therefore, she could only desperately encourage her father and choose to return to Chen Li’s parents’ house with her.
“Father, I believe in you too!” Yun Yang would always agree with his older sister. No matter what his sister said or did, he would always stand on Yun Xi’s side.
When Yun Shan heard what Yun Yang and Yun Xi said, he immediately nodded his head gratefully.
“Xi Xi, don’t worry about it. Dad will definitely do a good job!”
“Yes, Dad, I believe in You!” Yun Xi smiled and nodded, her eyes filled with trust.
Coincidentally, today was also a market day. The ox-cart stopped by the village entrance and it was heading to the market. On the way to the market, it would have to pass by Chen Li’s biological father’s house. Therefore, the three of them took the ox-cart.
The journey was a little bumpy, and Chen Li felt a mix of emotions. There was some nervousness, some joy, and some fear. Ever since she got married, she had never returned to her biological father’s house during the New Year. Now that she thought about her half-brother, he should have grown out of being a little radish head, and he should be bigger than Yun Xi by now, right?
What would he look like now? Would he be like her father? After he got engaged, would he be an irresponsible man? Or would he be like his mother, who only cared about her own interests?
No matter what, she had already embarked on this journey. She would get an answer to all her questions in half an hour.
Ever since she had the blessing of the space, no matter where Yun Xin went, she would carry a large black canvas bag on her back. This way, it would be convenient for her to use this canvas bag as an excuse to take out some things that she needed from her space at any time and place.
This time, she was going to attend Chen Li’s half-brother’s engagement ceremony, so she could not appear too shabby. Yun Xi began to use her space ability to dig out some packaged gifts. There were some candies and nuts inside.
In that era, people from every household only sent a bag of white sugar, which was already considered very sincere.
