Happiness System

Chapter 10: The Cannon Fodder Wife of the Scholar-President (9)

When Qin Yunxi woke up in the morning, she felt her face getting hot when she recalled what happened last night.

She was so tired yesterday that she didn't want to get up at all!

The man actually brought the meal to her and fed her mouthful by mouthful. It wasn't like she had just arrived and was so weak that she couldn't even lift her hands!

Qin Yunxi felt awkward when she came to her senses. After all, she was not herself and it was not so natural.

I wanted to let the little system see what that person was doing before leaving, but yesterday it was locked in the small dark room because it was too noisy. I touched my hungry stomach and had to accept my fate and get up.

"elder sister!"

"what!"

As soon as Qin Yunxi stepped out of the room, she was knocked to the ground by a little kid.

"My wife!" Mu Jingheng's face changed drastically.

The little kid was picked up and thrown aside before he could react, and then he watched his brother-in-law carry his sister to the bed.

I was a little confused! He hadn't seen his sister for a long time, and he couldn't help wanting to hug her. Did he become a strong man?

Qin Yunxi was also a little confused. This broken body was really weak!

Fortunately, it was cold and she was wearing enough clothes so she didn't get hurt.

"It's okay, I just didn't stand steadily." Coming back to her senses, she saw two men, one big and one small, looking at her nervously, the small one with tears in his eyes. She smiled. If she wasn't so weak, she could jump a few times for them to see.

"Mudaner?" Mudaner was the little brat who bumped into her, the original owner's younger brother and one of her wishes.

In order to give their precious eldest son a male child who could help each other, Qin's father and mother finally got their wish after giving birth to four daughters.

But I didn’t expect that my beloved eldest son had already gotten married and was ready to become a grandparent, and I had a child at an old age!

In the end, she gave birth to a younger son who was only half a year older than her grandson. Although he was the youngest son, there was already an older son who was highly expected, a second son who was long awaited, and a sweet-mouthed daughter who praised wealth and status, so this son was not valued as much.

This child was probably hungry when he was young, so he was a little lazy to move.

In the eyes of his biological parents, he became stupid and they loved him even less, so they randomly gave him the name Mudaner.

Qin's father and his two brothers were very strange. They always threw their children outside Qin's grandmother's yard, trying to get the old woman to help them raise the children.

But they were all driven away by Grandmother Qin without saying a word.

Mudan was of course one of them. The little brat was silent towards everyone, but when he saw the original owner, he would smile at her in a flattering way. No one knew how he caught the original owner's eye. The original owner actually treated him as a little pet and would tease him and feed him food when she was happy.

The little brat was also very happy and was very close to her.

After the original owner got married, the little brat would often secretly come to see her. However, when the original owner fell ill and had to pawn all her valuables, the news spread back to the other side, and they detained Mudaner and did not allow him to come over.

In the original owner's memory, when she was seriously ill and dying, only this brother came to see her, and every time he brought her the best things he could give.

Finally, she heard people joke that the honey in the mountains was very nutritious. In order to collect honey to nourish her body, the seven-year-old Mudan ran into the mountains and ended up losing half her life.

The younger brother almost died, and the biological mother came to the house every day to demand compensation. The original owner was so angry that he died.

"Sister, are you okay? Mudan didn't knock you down on purpose..." The little boy stood timidly beside the table, not daring to approach her.

"Why are you here? When did you come?" Qin Yunxi waved at him.

"I found a yam on the mountain. Grandpa Hu said that yam is the most nutritious. I wanted to give it to my sister to nourish her body, but my mother wouldn't let me come. I ran out at night when they were asleep!" He said as he moved over slowly.

"Last night I heard some noise outside and went out to check. I found Mudaner coming over, so I put him in the study. It's a rare opportunity for him to come here, so I can't not even see my sister," Mu Jingheng added.

Qin Yunxi frowned: "If they don't let you come, you can just ask someone to tell your brother-in-law to pick you up. Why are you walking at night? What if you encounter wild beasts coming down the mountain? Can your two legs outrun four legs?"

Mudaner lowered his head and said, "Since my sister is sick, my brother-in-law must stay at home to take care of her. If he comes to pick me up, there will be no one to take care of her!"

"You're right!" Qin Yunxi poked his forehead with her finger.

Seeing that his sister was not angry, Mudan touched his forehead and giggled.

Qin Yunxi couldn't bear to see that silly look, so she said, "I'm hungry! Have you eaten?" Then she got off the bed and walked out.

"My brother-in-law and I have eaten, sister..." and then he followed her happily.

Qin Yunxi asked Mudaner about his situation at the Qin family after washing up and having breakfast.

Although Mudan is small, he is very clever. He said things that he thought would not make his sister unhappy. He also told his battle of wits and courage with his parents, brother and sister-in-law to cheer his sister up.

Qin Yunxi was not amused by him. If she was as naive as the original owner, she might have believed it, but unfortunately she was not.

In the original owner's memory, Mudaner did not come to see her at this time. Based on Mudaner's words, she guessed that it was because Mu Jingheng took her to the town, which made people mistakenly believe that her condition had worsened and she was about to die, which made Mudaner run over.

She looked at Mudan'er carefully. He was short and thin, with a yellow face and a slightly purple complexion from the cold. His clothes were loose and ill-fitting, and they were white from washing and had patches all over them.

She reached out and touched it, and found that the thin cotton coat was hard and clumpy. And when she grabbed Mudan'er's arm, the little boy shivered.

"Jingheng, take off Mudan'er's clothes!" Qin Yunxi's face changed slightly.

Mu Daner grabbed his clothes and tried to hide, but Mu Jingheng grabbed him and pulled his clothes off in a few seconds.

The tiny body is covered with bruises and purple marks!

"It's worse than a beast!" Qin Yunxi gritted his teeth.

Mu Jingheng's face also turned cold, and he gently put his clothes back on.

You don't need to ask to know who beat him. Who else could it be except the original owner's stupid mother with water in her brain and her selfish and vicious eldest son and daughter-in-law!

"Sister, brother-in-law, Mudan'er is fine, it doesn't hurt." Seeing that the couple had ugly faces, Mudan'er lowered his head as if he had done something wrong.

Qin Yunxi's face became even uglier when she heard that. She was so angry that she walked around the room twice, and it took her a long time to calm down.

The Qin family couldn't let him go back, otherwise he would be seriously injured while trying to find honey for the original owner, and he would have no good life unless he was beaten to death by those people.

The original owner's wish was to take good care of this younger brother, and this child's temperament was rare. No matter what, he should lend a hand.

But I still need to think about how to do it!

"Jingheng, give some money to Mudan'er and ask him to go to Aunt Luo's house next door to exchange for a chicken and some vegetables." Then he turned to his brother and said, "Mudan'er, if Aunt Luo's family doesn't have a chicken to exchange for you, ask her to find one for you in the village."

Mu Jingheng knew that there was something to be said, so he took the money and pointed to the location of Aunt Luo's house and asked Mu Daner to leave.

"Jingheng, why don't we take Mudan'er to Qingteng? Then you'll have someone to keep you company when you go to the academy."

Mu Jingheng was about to speak when he heard hurried knocks on the door. He had to go and take a look. After a while, a young boy came in.

Qin Yunxi recognized at a glance that this was the original owner's other brother named Yinbao.

Yinbao is only two years younger than the original owner. He is idle and a scoundrel, but fortunately he has not done anything out of line. Everyone says that he looks very much like his grandfather who died of drunkenness.

Although this was the child the parents had been looking forward to for a long time, the couple still valued their eldest son the most.

Silverbao gets some attention and love but not much.

When he was a child, he saw that Mudaner was favored by the little sisters and could eat well from time to time, so he would secretly run over to help with some work when no one was paying attention, and then ask them for things with a playful smile.

In front of others, the grandmother would definitely drive him away, and when they were away from others, the grandmother and grandson would occasionally give him some food or a few copper coins.

This person has many ideas but he is not a bad person.

"Sister, bring me something to eat! I only had a bowl of porridge this morning, I'm starving!" Yin Bao started yelling as soon as he entered the room. Knowing that his sister didn't like him and was afraid that she would ignore him, he quickly added, "I brought a big secret with me!"

Qin Yunxi took out the bag of snacks that Mu Jingheng bought yesterday and threw it in front of him. She took a look at him. Although he was also thin, his complexion was much better than Mu Dan'er's. His clothes were also washed white and patched, but they fit him well and looked thicker.

Maybe he was really hungry, Yinbao opened the oil paper and grabbed the pastry and stuffed it into his mouth.

In a short while, the whole bag of pastries went into his stomach.

Qin Yunxi's eyes twitched as she watched, she was really afraid that the child would choke to death.

"Ah! It's so delicious! But it's too little!" Seeing that his sister and brother-in-law ignored him, Yinbao didn't mind being polite. After finishing the snacks, he took the jug of water on the table and drank it.

Qin Yunxi, who had eaten countless delicious foods, naturally looked down on these dim sum that looked and smelled average. Mu Jingheng also knew that she was picky so he only bought half a pound.

But I bought this specifically to please my wife, and I still felt a little unhappy when my brother-in-law ate it all.

"A daughter of a wealthy family in the neighboring town died and wanted to find a husband. They said that the dowry would be thirty taels of silver and a burial plot, and that the boy would be raised in the in-laws' home after the marriage. I don't know how that couple found out, but they persuaded my mother to send Mudan'er over." Seeing that the couple were staring at him expressionlessly, Yinbao didn't dare to make a fuss and immediately told him the whole story of the conspiracy between his parents and his brother and sister-in-law.

Mu Jingheng and Qin Yunxi looked at each other: Ghost marriage!

"Worse than a beast!"

"madness!"

The two men were about to say something with gloomy faces when Aunt Luo's voice came from outside.

Family disgrace should not be made public, and the matter has not been settled yet, so the two had to let it go for now.

Seeing Mu Jingheng go out to deal with it, Qin Yunxi also calmed down.

This definitely happened in the original owner's previous life, but it definitely didn't work!

But we can't just ignore this matter. What didn't work out that time may not work out this time.

Originally, she wanted to take Mudaner to the county town to see if he had a talent for studying. If he was financially well-off, she would send him to school. Otherwise, she would let Mu Jingheng take time to teach him.

But you can't just take it with you now.

Mudan'er's household registration is in the Qin family. If she becomes successful in the future, that family will benefit. She doesn't want that!
