Transmigrated into a farmer's lucky charm, all the villains in the family panicked.

"He doesn't understand any rules at all..."

Upon hearing this, Gan Yuwan's face turned completely cold.

"My daughter is doing very well, so my mother-in-law doesn't need to worry about her!"

After she finished speaking, without even looking at the old lady's darkened face, she directly said to her children, "Pianpian, take your younger sister and brother back to their room to sleep."

Yun Pianpian rolled her eyes and reached out to pull her younger siblings.

Although the younger children were reluctant, they obediently stood up and walked into the room.

"Wait a moment." The old man suddenly coughed lightly and raised his hand.

Everyone stopped.

Yun Haiping's gaze swept over the group of maids and landed precisely on Yun Ziyan. His tone was unusually gentle: "Girls, go back. As for Ziyan, he can come back with us tonight to rest."

"Your mother and I have thought about it, and we think it's not suitable for him to stay in your house. You already have enough to do with five girls, and raising Ziyan on top of that will be even more difficult. So, from now on, Ziyan should stay with us."

Yun Huaikang almost burst out laughing. He looked at his father and asked coolly, "Dad, what did my older brother say that made you want to take Ziyan back again?"

"But Ziyan isn't an object; who can do whatever they want with him?"

The old man immediately exploded, pounding his cane on the ground: "What nonsense are you talking about! I'm just thinking of you! Tell me, a gardener, how much can you earn in a day? Can you afford to raise Ziyan? Even if Ziyan becomes very successful in the future, you'll still need money to support him. Do you have that much money?"

That's a really harsh question.

It's a dead end.

If Yun Huaikang says he has enough money to support Ziyan, it's tantamount to admitting he has five hundred taels of silver, and the old couple will immediately ask for a gift. But if he says he can't afford it and that he has no money, then Ziyan will have to be taken away.

Both ends are blocked, completely blocked.

Yun Huaikang knew exactly what was going on.

He knew exactly what his brother Yun Huai'an was planning. Unfortunately, his plan backfired.

He didn't respond to that question, but instead turned to look at Yun Ziyan.

The ten-year-old boy stood in the corner of the room, thin and small, his hands clutching the hem of his clothes, his fingertips slightly white.

"Ziyan, you're ten years old now, you're not a child anymore. Tell me yourself, who do you want to live with?"

The old man glared and opened his mouth to call out Ziyan's name.

Yun Huaikang raised his hand to interrupt him, his gaze never leaving the child: "Don't be afraid of your grandparents, and don't be afraid of your uncle. Just say what you think. Once you've made your decision, no one can stop you. If you're scared, I can ask the village chief to preside over it."

Yun Ziyan lowered his head, his eyelashes casting a small shadow on his face.

Actually, his second uncle had asked him this question two days ago, telling him to think it over carefully.

His second uncle said something that he has always kept in mind.

"If you keep wavering, I won't keep you. A wavering person, even if they achieve great things in their studies, won't succeed in the officialdom and won't amount to much..."

He figured it out then.

Yun Ziyan raised his head, his gaze slowly sweeping over the faces of the old man and the old woman, and then bowed deeply.

"Thank you so much for taking care of me all these years, Grandpa and Grandma. But I've already made up my mind. I'll be living with my second uncle's family from now on. You don't need to worry about me anymore."

The elderly couple were both taken aback.

Yun Ziyan continued, "If Second Uncle doesn't mind, I'd be willing to be adopted into your family and become your son!"

The old man slammed his cane on the ground: "What are you saying! I'm your own grandfather! Would I harm you? Look at your second uncle's family, five girls. If you went with them, you'd have a hard life!"

Madam Yun Zhang also said angrily, "If you are adopted into your second uncle's family, what will happen to your own parents? Are you going to leave them without an heir?"

Yun Ziyan gave a wry smile, "Grandma, I have no memory of my parents at all."

But he remembers the days without his parents very clearly: no one cared for him, no one supported him, and he watched other children being loved by their parents.

Now that his second uncle and aunt have finally decided to treat him like their own child, and he's the fifth child in his family, why should he continue living the old life?

He took a deep breath and raised his voice again: "I've made up my mind, I'm going to live with my second uncle's family."

The old man was exasperated by his son's lack of ambition. "But your uncle's family is even better! Your eldest cousin passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, and your second cousin is already working in the government. They have bright futures ahead of them! Only by following them can you have a good life!"

Yun Ziyan listened without being moved in the slightest.

He himself was puzzled, because he used to be a nobody, and nobody paid any attention to him.

I don't know what's wrong with him these past two days, but suddenly everyone is scrambling to have him.

But he realized at least one thing: his second uncle's sisters genuinely cared for him. They always gave him the best food first, thought of him when making new clothes, and even his youngest cousin, who couldn't speak clearly yet, knew to slip him a piece of pastry.

He really appreciated how well they treated him.

Yun Huaikang looked at the child's straight spine with great satisfaction: "Father, Mother, you heard it too. Ziyan will follow me. It's good that I don't have a son. In the future, he can be the one to break the basin and carry the banner for me."

Seeing that the two were determined, and realizing he couldn't persuade them otherwise, the old man pouted again and again, finally waving his hand impatiently: "Fine, fine, you two do what you want, I don't care anymore."

After saying "I don't care," he continued, "But since you've received five hundred taels of silver, that's no small sum. You only have five daughters, and they'll all get married someday. What use is so much silver to you?"

"It would be better to give some to your mother and me. And give some to your eldest brother's family too. Your eldest brother has three sons, it's hard to support them."

"And your third brother, his family also has two boys."

The tone was so matter-of-fact, as if the five hundred taels belonged to them.

Upon hearing this, Gan Yuwan nearly dropped the basin in her hand.

He cursed inwardly, "Those two old bastards are shameless. We don't have a son, so all the money we earn has to go to someone else to raise their son."

How could you possibly say something like that?

Yun Huaikang was also quite angry and was about to retort when Yun Ziyan spoke first.

"No, Grandpa and Grandma!"

The group was taken aback, not understanding why he would object.

He continued, "Now that I'm considered Second Uncle's son, his family has a son, so the money Second Uncle earns naturally belongs to this family. How can it be divided among First Uncle's and Third Uncle's families?"

"Besides, the amount of money each family gives to grandparents is fixed. If grandparents are not satisfied, they can call their eldest and third uncles over, and the three families can discuss it further. It's impossible for my second uncle's family to pay more. If my second uncle has to pay that much, then my eldest and third uncles will also have to pay that much..."
