Chapter Ninety-Nine: Overseer Wei Yilin is punished
Yun didn't expect her husband to recognize her eldest daughter's abilities so much.
But it is true that what Ruo'er has done in recent days has indeed grown a lot of face for the Wei Mansion, and she is also decent outside, and she also has the demeanor of an eldest sister both internally and externally. Much better than she had originally thought.
Yun agreed: "Husband is right, Ruo'er is indeed more suitable to be this eldest daughter. But our grace is not bad, she is gentle and considerate, well-behaved and sensible, every time I see her, I feel happy in my heart. ”
While recognizing the eldest daughter, we can't ignore the excellence of the second daughter, so the Yun family specially mentioned the second daughter.
"Hmm." Wei Mingting can't deny this, and he can only say that the two daughters have their own merits.
"The matter of finding a martial arts master for Yilin is so decided, and the rules I set up today should be strictly followed when I am not in the mansion, and you must not be soft-hearted." Wei Mingting once again told his wife, who was easy to be soft-hearted to her children.
He knew that his wife was easy to be soft-hearted, so he specially advised.
"Don't worry, husband, I will not let my husband down." Yun's Guarantee.
Although she felt sorry for her youngest son and didn't want her youngest son to suffer so much, she must abide by the things set by her husband.

When Wei Mingting and the Yun clan were negotiating, Wei Ruo supervised Wei Yilin's wood-cutting work in the courtyard.
The little arm of the seven-year-old is holding a large woodcutter, which is visible to the naked eye.
With a swing of the knife, the knife only cut in a little, and there was still a long way to go before the firewood was split.
After just a few cuts, I felt that my arm couldn't use my strength, and I wanted to stop, but Wei Ruo's voice came from my ears:
"If you don't cut enough five sheaves of firewood today, continue tomorrow and cut five sheaves again, and tomorrow you don't cut enough, the day after tomorrow; Until one day you can cut five bundles of wood in one day. ”
"Wei Qingruo! You're really excessive! Wei Yilin couldn't hold back any longer, and his round eyes glared at Wei Ruo angrily.
"Excessive? Have it? Wei Ruo chuckled and asked nonchalantly.
"I know you're taking revenge on me for betraying you yesterday, right? I figured it out last night, those things are all too real, it is absolutely impossible for me to dream about them, they are definitely real! Wei Yilin said unusually firmly.
Wei Ruo smiled silently.
Wei Yilin continued: "Wei Qingruo, I admit that it was wrong for me to betray you yesterday, so even if I think about what happened yesterday now, I won't tell others, and I also thought about it later, it would not be good for you to let others know that you were kidnapped." Although I don't like you, you are the daughter of our Wei family, and I will not ruin your reputation. ”
Wei Yilin's face was stiff, his cheeks were bulging, and he was a little angry, but he was very serious.
Wei Ruo still didn't answer.
What about the memory of it? Anyway, if she doesn't answer or admit it, others won't believe what Wei Yilin said.
Then who cares if he remembers it or not.
Wei Ruo didn't speak, so Wei Yilin continued: "And I think you are quite powerful in killing two widows, so don't take revenge on me so carefully, you go and tell your father and ask him to withdraw those orders just now." I can go to learn martial arts, but don't be separated from Sister Wanwan, let alone let you be in charge, I don't like you! ”
"I don't agree." Wei Ruo asked with a smile.
"Wei Qingruo, I've already said that, what else do you want?"
"I don't want to do anything, it's my responsibility to teach my younger brother as the eldest sister, so I'm going to supervise you, even if you don't like it very much."
Wei Ruo's answer was perfect, regardless of whether the partition wall had ears or not, anyway, don't want to hear her say that she will be caught in pigtails.
"Don't pretend, you don't really want to teach me at all, you just deliberately hurt me! And I don't admit that you are my eldest sister, my eldest sister is only Sister Wanwan! ”
"Don't talk so much, chop wood well, it's not advisable to be lazy." Wei Ruo's expression was leisurely.
"Wei Qingruo!" Wei Yilin was deeply angry by Wei Ruo's appearance.
"If you don't know how to call my sister, I'll talk to my father in a while." Wei Ruo was not in a hurry or impatient.
Wei Yilin was so angry with Wei Ruo that he couldn't speak.
His gaze turned back to the firewood in front of him, and the woodcutter picked it up and fell hard, as if he regarded the firewood in front of him as Wei Ruo, and used this way to vent his dissatisfaction with Wei Ruo.
By the time Wei Mingting came out, Wei Yilin had already cut off the small half of the bundle.
Wei Mingting actually knew that the task he assigned to his youngest son was basically impossible for his younger son to complete, and he deliberately did this in the hope that this would sharpen his youngest son's will and make him truly realize his mistakes.
Seeing that Wei Yilin had lost his weakness and squeamishness just now under Wei Ruo's supervision, and insisted on chopping wood, Wei Mingting was more sure that the eldest daughter was more suitable to teach the younger son.
"Ruo'er go back today, in the days when I'm not at home in the future, Yilin will have to bother you to take care of it, if he is not obedient, you can enforce the family law on my behalf." Wei Mingting explained.
Wei Yilin was so angry in his heart that he looked at his father's majestic face, both angry and aggrieved.
"My daughter knows." Wei Ruo agreed.
Then Wei Ruo left Cangyun Garden.
Before leaving, Wei Ruo glanced back at Wei Yilin, who was glaring at him viciously.

In the middle of August of the lunar calendar, the rice in Xingshan County has also reached the harvest period.
The people of Xingshan County do not have the joy of harvest, but more sorrow and depression.
Because of the lack of harvest, the harvest is simply not enough for many families to eat in the coming year.
The situation of the Wei family was similar, and the Yun family looked at the account book handed over by the steward of Zhuangzi and frowned.
The steward said that the best growth in Zhuangzi now is the replanted seedlings brought by Wei Ruo later.
The harvest of other rice harvests is only about one-third of last year's harvest and one-fifth of that of five years ago.
Although the part of rice that was replanted later was not yet ripe, judging from the situation of hanging ears, it was much more than the other rice.
However, Wei Ruo's seedlings only accounted for a small part, and the grain output of Wei's Zhuangzi was still much less than in previous years.
In addition to Wei Mingting's official Yu Lu, Zhuangzi is a great source of income.
Zhuangzi's lack of income means that the Wei family has no extra revenue, and the expenses in the coming year will become a problem.
Wei Qingwan came to Cangyun Yuan to help the Yun family deal with family affairs after getting out of class from the county magistrate's mansion, and when she saw that the Yun family was so worried about the food, she comforted: "Mother, don't worry, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, didn't my father win the battle and be promoted to the official and get the court award?" ”
Yun shook his head: "It's true that I won the award, but most of the awards from the imperial court are honors, and the objects obtained cannot be exchanged for silver money casually." ”
Moreover, Wei Mingting only temporarily repelled the Japanese pirates along the coast of Xingshan County this time, and did not completely defeat all the Japanese pirates that plagued the entire southeast coast, so naturally there were not so many rewards.
Saying that, Yun sighed again: "I knew that Ruo'er's rice seeds were so easy to use, and it would have been good to plant all Ruo'er's rice seeds at the beginning, so there should be no such trouble at this moment." ”
