Return To The Past: I Won’t Choose Humility This Time!

Chapter 155: Moved to the County

“Sister, you’re back!”

Yun Yang had been waiting for Yun Xi at the door for a long time after he earnestly completed the task that Yun Xi had given him.

“Sister, come in quickly. Let me tell you about something – I know where they are they hiding the items.”

Yun Yang lowered his voice as he said.

Yun Gang’s family was not guarded at all, and Liu Fang had simply piled up the gifts she had received in the storeroom. Yun Yang saw that Liu Fang only used a thin layer of straw to cover the gifts and nothing else.

It made sense. It hadn’t been a day or two since Yun Gang had become an official. Before this, there must have been many people who sent gifts to the Yun Gang’s family and nothing went wrong.

Perhaps, in the beginning, Liu Fang did think about how to deal with these bribes. However, she was an experienced wife of an official, so she must have felt that no one would lay a hand on their family.

This made the matter even simpler. Yun Gang would not be able to explain it if they found these bribes in the storeroom. No one would listen to him.

“Yun Yang, go and pass this letter to a person named Jing Yu from the Jing Family at the edge of our village. Make sure you come back quickly. Don’t let anyone see you walk through the door of the Jing family.”

If she was to report an official like Yun Gang now, she would have to do so with a real name.

However, Yun Xi still respected the old man and had to maintain the facade between Yun Gang and Yun Shan’s family. Therefore, it was most appropriate to let Jing Yu handle this matter. Jing Yu could report Yun Gang for accepting bribes.

“Alright, sister, I understand.” Yun Yang agreed readily. He placed the letter in his arms and set off as fast as he could.

There was not much work to be done in the fields, and Yun Shan also lost his job as an accountant. Now, he was just sitting at home with Chen Li, chatting about their daily lives.

“If you work in the county, does that mean that you won’t be able to come back often?”

Chen Li thought that the job in the county was good, but they would probably be separated from each other. She was thus a little reluctant.

“But this is indeed a very good job opportunity. According to Xi Xi, Boss Jing is a very practical person, and the salary he offers is more than double that of my previous job as an accountant in our small village. I want our family’s life to be better.”

Yun Shan comforted Chen Li.

“Besides, this spring, our Xi Xi will go to school, so she will also go to school in the county. If I work in the county, we will be able to take care of each other. Otherwise, I will still be worried for a girl like her.”

Yun Shan mentioned Yun Xi in order for Chen Li to let go of her worries.

“It would be great if I could live in the county with you. I can cook for you and we can still be together as a family.”

Even after hearing what Yun Shan said, Chen Li still felt a little worried.

“Then why don’t we move to the county to live together?”

Yun Xi, who had been leaning against the door the whole time, was also listening to the conversation between the husband and wife. Hearing that Chen Li had such an idea, Yun Xi was relieved. She could also take this opportunity to bring up the idea of their family moving to the county to live together.

“In any case, dad’s current salary is enough to support our family of four. Moreover, taking into account the land that our family has with the land that the Chen Family has compensated us with, renting out these lands also brings us a considerable income. We can use the money to arrange for rent and some settlements. With dad’s salary, if the few of us live frugally, we can still manage our days in a meaningful way.”

Yun Xi told the couple what she thought.
