Chapter 785 A Clever Plan

Liu Hong, who was lying on the bed, shouted unconvincedly, "Who said Zhou Jiu is incompetent? Every time he comes to see me, he never comes empty-handed.

I can only eat the food he buys."

Liu Sanle laughed, "Dad, you lie in bed every day now, why do you eat so much?"

"you?"

Fang Lan turned around and glared at Liu Hong, "If you don't want to go hungry, shut your mouth.

I tell you, I have been putting up with you for a long time."

Liu Hong shut his mouth obediently.

But in his heart he still felt that Zhou Jiu was better than all of them.

After all, Zhou Jiu knew that he was greedy, so he would bring some of his favorite food every time he came.

Fang Lan then remembered to ask Liu Sanle, "You haven't told me who you met on the street yet?"

Liu Sanle took a big bite of food and put it in his mouth, "Zhang Qiuye!"

"who?"

"It was Zhang Qiuye, the one I divorced on our wedding night."

"Her! I heard that she was released from the Li Mansion."

"Not only was she released, but the Li family also gave her a large sum of money."

"How did you know this?"

"Mom, I heard it from others."

"I don't know if Mr. Li has lost his mind, he actually let his concubine out.

It would have been fine if they just released him, but they also gave him such a large sum of money.

She's obviously just a country girl, but with this huge sum of money, she's better off than any of us."

Liu Sanle nodded in agreement, "Who said it wasn't?

Mom, do you know that Zhou Jiu has set his eyes on the silver in Zhang Qiuye's hands.

Today he asked me to help him perform a play and gave me a small piece of silver. I bought these meat and vegetables with the silver Zhou Jiu gave me.

Fang Lan's hand stopped in mid-air, "Sanle, you said that Zhou Jiu had set his eyes on the silver in Zhang Qiuye's hand and asked you to act.

What are you acting in?"

"Of course I play the villain, Zhou Jiu is the hero who saves the beauty and wins her heart!

You know what, I didn't notice it before, but today I discovered that Zhang Qiuye is quite pretty."

Fang Lan stared at Liu Sanle for a long time, "My son is not ugly, not to mention he is a scholar.

What a sin! If your family hadn’t suffered this disaster, you would probably still be studying in the county town now! "

Liu Sanle ate nonchalantly, turning a deaf ear to Fang Lan's words.

Fang Lan suddenly thought of something, "Sanle, what did you just say? Zhou Jiu has his eyes on Zhang Qiuye?"

"Well, he told me so himself, and asked me to help him.

From then on, whenever he and Zhang Qiuye were around, he would ask me to help him act."

"Then how much silver did he give you?"

"Not much anyway."

Fang Lan thought about it, and a brilliant idea quickly came to her mind. "Sanle, is this how you plan to live your life?"

Liu Sanle stopped eating with his chopsticks and rolled his eyes at Fang Lan, "What else?

My eldest and second brothers separated early, and both live better than me."

"Son, that's not the way to say it. Didn't we also support your education?

Let me ask you, do you still want to read this book?

My son, you are already a scholar now. If you work hard and pass the imperial examination, you will be more promising than Zhang Juexia's husband, Ye Beixiu."

"Huh, anyone can talk, but are you going to pay for my studies?

Given our family's current situation, I think it's useless."

"Is there anyone who can come out?"

"Who is it?"

"Zhang Qiuye!"

"she?"

Fang Lan leaned closer to Liu Sanle and lowered her voice deliberately, "Didn't you just say that even Zhou Jiu was plotting against Zhang Qiuye's money?

But he is a family man after all. Zhang Qiuye has been a concubine before and knows how difficult it is to be a concubine, so she may not take the bait.

But you are different!

You are divorced now and still a scholar.

If you pay a little attention to it, Zhang Qiuye might be tempted.

Think about it, if Zhang Qiuye falls in love with you, you should marry her.

In this way, you will have enough money to study, right?"

Liu Sanle was stunned when he heard this, and finally sighed, "Mom, will this work?"

"It works, you should clean yourself up in the next two days.

Then, I will help you find a way to let you and Zhang Qiuye meet alone.

Remember, when you meet Zhang Qiuye, you should only say nice things.

This kid's brain isn't as sharp as Zhang Juexia's. I reckon it won't take more than a few tries before the fish takes the bait."

"If I had known earlier, I would not have divorced her.

Now I have to work hard to please her."

Fang Lan corrected Liu Sanle in time, "What you said is not right.

When you divorced her, she had no money."

Liu Sanle tilted his head and thought about it, "That's right!"

Then he nodded reluctantly, "Then I'll listen to my mother for now!

So, mother, do you think I should remind Zhang Qiuye that Zhou Jiu has his eye on the silver in her hand?

“You must never do this.

Until Zhang Qiuye trusts you, don't do anything."

"I understand. Mother, when I marry Zhang Qiuye home, I'll make you a gold hairpin."

Fang Lan touched her head and smiled happily, "Okay, I'm looking forward to that day!"

.

After Zhang Qiuye returned home, her heart began to beat fast whenever she thought of Zhou Jiu. She picked up the mirror on the table and looked at herself. She saw that her face was as red as a big piece of red cloth.

She slapped her cheeks with her hands, trying to wake herself up.

But what came to mind were still Zhou Jiu's words and actions.

Zhang Qiuye felt that Zhou Jiu was very charming whether he was smiling, had a stern face, or threw Liu Sanle out.

She sighed and slumped down on the table, thinking to herself, if only I had met this person earlier.

Tian Caihong walked in without knocking.

Zhang Qiuye frowned and complained, "Why did you come in without knocking again?"

Tian Caihong didn't care, she sat down on Zhang Qiuye's bed and said, "You've only been in the city for a few days, and you really think you're a city dweller.

I tell you, don’t be picky.”

Zhang Qiuye knew Tian Caihong's temper, and it would be a waste of time to try to reason with her.

"What do you want to talk to me about?"

"It's okay, so I can't come over to see you.

Tell me, are you hiding something from me? Ever since you came back from outside, you have been staying in your room all by yourself and not coming out."

Zhang Qiuye tried to appear calm, "I'm just feeling anxious and don't want to go out."

"real?"

"Mom, when have I ever lied to you?"

"I'm telling you, if anything happens to you out there, you have to tell me.

You have a special identity now, so you have to be careful with those bad people.

I'm afraid they don't want to marry you, but are after your money."

As soon as Tian Caihong said this, Zhang Qiuye thought of Zhou Jiu.

She curled her lips and looked at Tian Caihong with contempt, "Mom, the little money I have is nothing in the eyes of real rich people."
