Chapter 99: Supervising Wei Yilin’s Punishment
Yun didn’t expect her husband to agree so much with her eldest daughter’s abilities.
But it is true that the things Ruo'er has done in recent days have indeed brought a lot of face to the Wei family. She is decent externally and has the demeanor of an elder sister both internally and externally. Much better than she originally thought.
Mrs. Yun agreed: "My husband is right, Ruo'er is indeed more suitable to be the eldest daughter. But our Wanwan is not bad either. 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, one should not ignore the excellence of the second daughter, so Yun made a special mention of the second daughter.
"Yeah." Wei Mingting couldn't deny this. He could only say that the two daughters had their own merits.
"It's decided to find a martial arts master for Yilin. You must strictly abide by the rules I set today when I'm not in the house, and don't be soft-hearted." Wei Mingting once again warned his wife who was prone to being soft-hearted towards her children.
He knew that his wife was easy to be soft-hearted, so he specially warned her.
"Don't worry, husband, I will not let you down." Yun promised.
Although she felt sorry for her younger son and didn't want him to suffer like this, she must abide by what her husband set.

While Wei Mingting was discussing with Yun, Wei Ruo was supervising Wei Yilin's firewood cutting work in the yard.
The seven-year-old's little arms were holding a big woodcutter, and the effort was visible to the naked eye.
When the knife was swung down, it only cut in a little, and it was still a long way from splitting the firewood.
After just a few chops, I felt that my arms were no longer strong. I wanted to stop, but Wei Ruo's voice came to my ears: "
If you can't chop five bundles of firewood today, continue tomorrow and chop five bundles again. If you can't chop enough tomorrow, , the day after tomorrow; until one day you can chop five bundles of firewood in one day."
"Wei Qingruo! You are really going too far!" Wei Yilin couldn't help it anymore, and stared at Wei Ruo angrily with his round eyes.
"Excessive? Is it true?" Wei Ruo smiled and asked casually.
"I know you are retaliating for my betrayal of you yesterday, right? I thought about it clearly last night. Those things are too real. They can't be my dreams. They definitely happened!" Wei Yilin said with unusual certainty. said.
Wei Ruodan smiled and said nothing.
Wei Yilin continued: "Wei Qingruo, I admit that I was wrong to betray you yesterday, so even if I think about what happened yesterday, I will not tell others. I also thought about it later, if I let others know that you were kidnapped It's not good for you. Although I don't like you, you are a girl from our Wei family, and I will not ruin your reputation."
Wei Yilin's face was sullen, his cheeks bulging, a little angry, but he acted very serious.
Wei Ruo still didn't answer.
So what if you think about it? Anyway, if she doesn't answer or admit it, others won't believe what Wei Yilin said.
Who cares if he thinks about it or not.
Wei Ruo didn't say anything, and Wei Yilin continued: "Also, I think you are quite powerful for killing two Japanese pirates, so don't be so careful about retaliating against me anymore. Go tell dad and ask him to withdraw the orders he just gave. . I can go learn martial arts, but I don’t want to be separated from Sister Wanwan, and I don’t want you to control me. I don’t like you!” “
I won’t agree.” Wei Ruo asked with a smile.
"Wei Qingruo, I've already said this, what else do you want?"
"What don't you want? As the eldest sister, it is my responsibility to teach the younger brothers, so I have to supervise you, even though you may not like it."
Wei Ruo The answer was perfect. It didn’t matter whether the partition had ears or not. Anyway, don’t expect to hear her words that would get you caught in pigtails.
"Stop pretending. You don't sincerely want to teach me. You just want to hurt me on purpose! And I don't admit that you are my eldest sister. My eldest sister is only sister Wanwan!" "Don't say that
. If you have more, chop the firewood carefully, laziness is not advisable." Wei Ruo looked leisurely. "Wei Qingruo!" Wei Yilin was deeply angered by Wei Ruo's appearance.
"Call me sister. If you don't know how, I'll have a talk with my father later." Wei Ruo was not impatient.
Wei Yilin was so angry that Wei Ruo was speechless.
His eyes returned to the firewood in front of him, and he swung the woodcutter hard and dropped it hard, as if he regarded the firewood in front of him as Wei Ruo, and used this method to vent his dissatisfaction with Wei Ruo.
By the time Wei Mingting came out, Wei Yilin had already chopped off half of the bundle.
Wei Mingting actually knew that the tasks he assigned to his younger son were basically impossible for him to complete. He deliberately did this in the hope that it would sharpen his will and make him truly realize his mistakes.
Seeing that under Wei Ruo's supervision, Wei Yilin lost the weakness and squeamishness before and insisted on chopping firewood, Wei Mingting became more convinced that the eldest daughter was more suitable to teach the younger son.
"Ruo'er, go back today. From now on, Yilin will have to ask you to take care of him when I'm not at home. If he doesn't obey, you can enforce the family law on my behalf." Wei Mingting explained.
Wei Yilin was extremely angry. Looking at his father's majestic face, he felt angry and aggrieved.
"My daughter knows." Wei Ruo agreed.
Then Wei Ruo left Cangyun Garden.
Before leaving, Wei Ruo looked back at Wei Yilin, who was glaring at him fiercely.

In the middle of August of the lunar calendar, the rice in Xingshan County has gradually reached the harvest period.
The people of Xingshan County do not have the joy of harvest, but more sorrow and depression.
Because of the poor harvest, the harvested food is simply not enough for many families to eat in the next year.
The situation of the Wei family was similar. Mrs. Yun looked at the account book handed over by the manager of Zhuangzi with a frown on her face.
The steward said that the best growing seedlings in Zhuangzi now are the replanted seedlings brought by Wei Ruo later.
Other rice harvests are being harvested, and the harvest is only about one-third of last year and one-fifth of what it was five years ago.
Although the portion of rice that will be replanted later is not mature yet, judging from the condition of the ears, it is much larger than the other rice.
However, Wei Ruona's rice seedlings only accounted for a relatively small part, and the grain output of Weijiazhuangzi was still much less than in previous years.
In addition to Wei Mingting's official salary, Zhuangzi is a huge source of income for the Wei family.
Zhuangzi's lack of harvest means that the Wei family has no extra revenue, and the expenses in the next year will become a problem.
Wei Qingwan came to Cangyunyuan after class at the magistrate's office to help the Yun family handle family affairs. Seeing that the Yun family was so worried about food, she comforted her and said, "Don't worry, mother. The boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge. Didn't my father win the battle and get promoted?" Did you get an award from the court again after becoming an official?"
Yunshi shook her head: "It's true that I got an award, but most of the awards from the court are honors, and the objects you get can't be exchanged for money." Moreover,
Wei Mingting was only temporarily defeated this time . The Japanese pirates along the coast of Xingshan County have not completely defeated all the Japanese pirates that plagued the entire southeast coast, so naturally there are not so many rewards.
Saying that, Mrs. Yun sighed again: "If I had known that Ruo'er's rice seeds were so useful, I would have planted all of Ruo'er's rice seeds. Now I should not have such troubles." (End of Chapter
