《Return To The Past: I Won't Choose Humility This Time!》Chapter 16: How He Became an Official
Advertisement
Just as Chen Li was at her wits' end, Yun Xi brought Yun Yang back to her family's room.
Ever since Yun Xi competed with Yun Lian for the opportunity to study, she had never been at a disadvantage in the complicated, big family. Chen Li looked at her daughter with a new level of respect.
Chen Li was very clear about the internal plans of the other two families. However, she was bad at fighting with others, and she was not witty enough. She was often taken advantage of by the other families.
Unfortunately, the man in charge of her family was foolish, filial, and loyal. Casting Old Master Yun aside, Yun Shan would always find a way to help Old Madam Yun regardless of whether she was right or wrong.
Yun Shan always wanted to keep peace with the other two families. He was extremely benevolent toward his two brothers. In the past, his eldest brother asked for money from his family in order to secure a position in the government. Old Master Yun and Old Madam Yun used all their savings to help him at that time.
Nevertheless, their family's savings were limited. The money they had gathered was not enough to pull strings. There was even the possibility of being looked down upon by the higher-ups as the money was spent yet his eldest brother did not manage to be an official.
It was all for naught!
There was no other way. Liu Fang even tried to borrow money from her own family, but she could not gather enough money.
She could only blame it on the other two families. Yun Gang had always been the eldest in his family. He thought that he was most educated and that he had always taken care of his two younger brothers. Now, if he were to lower his head and ask the other two families to borrow money, he would feel ashamed.

In the end, Liu Fang was the one who went to the other two families. However, the second daughter-in-law was not to be messed with. Although she was usually not opinionated, she was clever when it came to money.
Liu Fang attempted to threaten and bribe her second sister-in-law, but she did not get any money from her. Yun Lin, who was relatively honest, gave Liu Fang some of the pocket money that he usually saved.
However, not only did Liu Fang not appreciate it, but she felt that the amount was miserly. After saying a lot of unpleasant things at the door of their room, she turned around and went to the third son's family's room.
At that time, the third son's life was a little better. Chen Li had just given birth to the twins, and her relatives and friends had given her gifts. Although their life was average, they did have some extra money during that period.
Chen Li intended to use the money for confinement. She had already made an appointment with a peasant woman to buy some eggs to nourish her body.
However, Yun Shan was unable to resist Liu Fang's persuasion. In the end, he gave most of the money from his family to his sister-in-law. Chen Li could only apologize to the peasant woman with whom she had made the appointment.
After all, her sister-in-law had taken away the money she had. Chen Li's confinement had also not been going well this month. As a result, she was only able to conceive Yun Yang again after a few years of relaxation.
After having the money, Yun Gang gathered enough money to send gifts. The higher-ups had arranged for him to be a minor official.
After Yun Gang received his official title, he became a new official. However, not only did Yun Gang flaunt his authority at work, but he also spouted nonsense at home. After that, he would definitely be responsible for his entire family.

Although he said that, Liu Fang was still reluctant to return the money she had borrowed from her third brother-in-law. Every time Chen Li went to ask for it, Liu Fang would always reject her. What was more, Liu Fang guilt-tripped her. Chen Li's family was already not doing well. Did Liu Fang really have to force her into a dead end?
Since the other party had already said so, Chen Li did not dare to continue asking.
She originally thought that this matter would go under the radar, but Old Master Yun found out that his eldest daughter-in-law had borrowed a large sum of money from his youngest son. He asked Yun Gang to pay the money back.
Yun Gang naturally could not bring himself to lose his dignity. Liu Fang saw that Old Master Yun had already expressed his thought, so she took out half of the money to cover it. She said that she was strapped for cash, so she would pay back a little first. The rest would be paid back slowly after Yun Gang received his salary.
Old Master Yun knew that his eldest daughter-in-law was shameless. It was through Old Master Yun's coercion that Yun Gang was willing to help Yun Shan get an accounting job in the village.
If it were not for the fact that Old Master Yun was the head of the family, Yun Shan and his wife would not have been able to carry on with their lives.
Chen Li currently had someone to rely on. Looking at her daughter and son, she revealed a gratified smile.
