The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 258: No Crying Allowed

Yun Jiao then smiled and said, "Thank you, Uncle Liu Er. Since you brought Ah Gui here this time, let him enjoy himself in the city for a few days before going back."

"He can eat and stay here."

Guihua brought over some pastries, and besides the pastries, she also made an egg and vegetable soup.

Yun Jiao and Mrs. Chen both came out of the room, leaving the space for them to eat.

Mrs. Chen whispered, "Now that your mother is here, I fear she might not leave. Where do you plan to let her stay?"

"Once you’ve decided, I’ll quickly get the room ready with San Ya."

Yun Jiao felt incredibly frustrated; she currently lived in the main room because she brought a lot of books, and only the main room could fit them all.

Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Li are both elders, and in theory, they should stay in the main room.

So Yun Jiao would have to stay in the side room.

But if she stays in the side room, first, there’s no room for her books, and second, she doesn’t want to live next door to Mrs. Li and hear her constant whining, which drives her crazy.

For now, there are still some empty rooms upstairs.

But upstairs, there are Lin Shuo, Ah Hu, and Lao Jiu.

They’re all men, so living upstairs wouldn’t be appropriate for her.

Mrs. Chen noticed Yun Jiao’s dilemma, "How about I let her have my room, and I move to the side room."

Yun Jiao shook her head, if the house were to arrange like this, people would criticize her.

Alas, even though this is the house I bought, having a big room to stay in has become a luxury.

She thought for a bit, "Mom, there’s no rush. Let me talk to my mother first."

She really wasn’t fond of this mother, and she wanted to see if she could send Mrs. Li back to her parents’ home.

Liu Er and his son Ah Gui finished their pastries and came out.

Yun Jiao arranged for Ah Tie to take the two of them upstairs to rest.

She went inside and saw Mrs. Li sitting quietly in a chair, silently weeping.

Yun Jiao massaged her temples, sat down beside her, and gently said, "How about you stay here for a few days and then go back with Uncle Liu Er."

Mrs. Li shook her head in horror, "I won’t go back. They all despise me now and don’t want me to live at home."

"I won’t have a good life if I go back."

Yun Jiao patiently said, "In the past, when you lived off of them, they were naturally unhappy."

"From now on, I’ll give twenty taels of silver to each of my uncles every year, and they’ll welcome you back without making you work."

Mrs. Li blinked her eyes but still shook her head.

She didn’t want to go back; she wanted to stay in the Prefecture City.

It’s nicer here.

There’s a dedicated cook; she doesn’t have to do anything.

Besides, being with her own daughter is better than being with her brothers and sisters-in-law.

Moreover, it’s the Prefecture City here!

Living here, she might one day find her Yu Lang!

Seeing this approach wasn’t working, Yun Jiao decided to try another. She gently advised Mrs. Li, "How about you go back to your own home, too? I’ll hire someone to do the housework and take care of you, and give you another ten taels of silver a year to spend."

Mrs. Li still shook her head, "I won’t go back; I just want to stay in the Prefecture City where I might find your dad."

Yun Jiao was at her wit’s end.

It’s not that she minded having Mrs. Li around, but Mrs. Li’s constant sobbing was irritating to view.

She closed her eyes, "If you must stay with me, that’s fine."

"But you mustn’t cry anymore."

At those words, Mrs. Li pursed her lips.

Yun Jiao looked at her with a calm expression.

Mrs. Li tried her best to hold back, "I—I won’t cry."

Yun Jiao couldn’t help but rub her forehead again; it felt as if she were bullying her.

She took a deep breath and added, "Moreover, since you’re staying here, you need to take good care of Xiao Chuan."

"I won’t ask you to do much, but every day you should make sure Xiao Chuan is well-fed and wearing warm clothes."
