Chapter 970 Zhang Family Affairs

"I just don't want to embarrass you. I'm incompetent, and I've made you suffer. Zhuangzi is your favorite.

The people in that farm are all your capable men. Not only did you sell the farm, but you also gave the people in the farm to Ying'er. You are such an unfilial son!

My son doesn't want to be an unfilial person. Mother, shall we not sell this farm?

Ying Er won’t get married either.”

Madam Zhang was so angry at her son's actions that she beat her chest and said, "Forget it, forget it, I'll go to the Ye family first!

I will sacrifice my reputation to get this deal."

Old Madam Zhang instructed Butler Zhang to prepare the car while asking the maid to help her wash and dress again.

When Mrs. Zhang's son saw that his mother had reacted to his commotion, he felt relieved.

No one wants to cancel such a good marriage.

But my mother's attitude is too much.

This farm has been on sale for more than a day or two. Now that someone has finally found a buyer, she took the opportunity to buy it.

The people in the capital were clearly waiting for money, but she was no longer in a hurry.

If you don't add fuel to the fire, you will have more nightmares.

When Mrs. Zhang's son saw that his mother had left the house, he felt relieved and went to look for his daughter.

After Zhang Juexia left Zhang's house, she did not return to her own home. She went directly to find Chen Liang.

Shen Liang had brought Shi Tou to the backyard of Shengxia Hotpot Shop. After entering the backyard, Shen Liang asked someone to prepare some food. After Shi Tou had eaten and drunk enough, he asked Shi Tou some questions.

Shitou had a hearty meal, the best he had ever had, so he told Shitou everything he knew.

After listening to Shitou's words, Shen Liang was thinking quietly. His appearance frightened Shitou, "Manager, I told you everything I know. I didn't tell a single lie. If I told a lie, I would..."

Shen Liang frightened Shi Tou with just one look, "I..."

"You can't go back to the Zhang family's farm these days. Let me ask you, do you want to stay here and make a living, or go out and find a job on your own?"

Shitou is not stupid. He leaves the ready-made thigh to hold on and runs out to find a job. Isn't this seeking death?

He stepped forward, hugged Shen Liang's thighs and knelt down, "Manager, I, I am not afraid of hardship, I can do anything, please don't drive me away."

"He's really smart. He even knows to call me the manager."

"I heard them shouting, Manager, please accept me!

I am willing to be your slave."

"Are you just going to be driven like a beast of burden? Do you know that working with me is no easier than working on the farm?"

"Butler, I'm capable. I can endure any hardship, and I'll be obedient. Please accept me. I know you're a good person, and your wife is a good person too."

Chen Liang squinted his eyes and looked at the stone for a while, "Boy, remember what you said, I don't keep idle people here, and if you come here, you have to understand the rules here.

I'll let Lin An take you to find a job later. Remember, say what you should say and what you shouldn't say..."

"I know, but I won't say anything I shouldn't. If anyone asks, I'll just say I was a beggar on the street and was rescued by the steward. The steward took pity on me and gave me a bite to eat."

After listening to Shi Tou’s words, Shen Liang nodded with satisfaction.

"Since you are willing to stay, then stay!

Until the Madam buys the manor, you stay here obediently."

"Thank you very much, Steward."

Chen Liang called Lin An and asked him to find a job for Shitou, "Don't let him go to the front, find him a job he can do in the back.

Also, find someone to keep an eye on him."

"I know, don't worry, Steward!"

"Wait, when I say take good care of him, I mean don't let him run around. Take good care of him. After all, he's still a half-grown child.

If my wife knew that we were abusing the child, she would chop me up."

Lin An said he knew what to do.

Chen Liang was the only one left in the room. He reorganized what Shi Tou had said in his mind. Just as he was sorting it out, he heard some movement in the backyard, so he quickly got up and walked out.

Zhang Juexia jumped down from the carriage, and Shen Liang greeted her, "Madam, have you finished the matter so quickly?"

"Let's go inside and talk."

Shen Liang personally brewed a cup of tea and handed it to Zhang Juexia. After Zhang Juexia took a few sips, he asked Shen Liang for food. "I'm a little hungry after running around. Ask someone to prepare some food for me. Something light in flavor will do."

Shen Liang quickly asked someone to do it, and after finishing all this, Shen Liang couldn't wait to know the result.

"It's not going to be finished so quickly, I think there's still room for discussion.

These people in the Zhang family are quite interesting. I have shown enough sincerity here. They are the master who has not shown up, so let Butler Zhang talk to me.

After I told him my request, Butler Zhang couldn't make the decision."

"This Zhang family..."

Shen Liang slammed the table angrily.

"Okay, I'm not angry, why are you angry?

Anyway, the farm is pretty good, so let's think carefully about how to make it better after we take it over.

You must have found out everything about the stone."

Shen Liang nodded, “This kid told me everything he knew, anyway, those people from the Zhang family can’t stay.

As for those refugees who were settled in Zhuangzi, they can be used.

They are also pitiful, having been enslaved by the Zhang family for so many years."

“It’s also for a bite to eat, what else?

Based on my current opinion of the Zhang family, I always feel that the Zhang family is really a bunch of fools.

Shen Liang, you have been in the Shen family for a long time, so you should know something about the Zhang family. Tell me about it."

"Mrs. Zhang's husband, Mr. Zhang, was a juren (a scholar), and her son never passed the imperial examination after he passed it.

Both Juren and Xiucai are scholars with official titles, so the Zhang family is considered a scholarly family in Qingfeng City.

However, Mrs. Zhang's family had a big business. Perhaps they were attracted by Old Master Zhang's status as a scholar, so when she married Old Master Zhang, she had a lot of dowry.

For so many years, the Zhang family has been supported by Old Madam Zhang's dowry.

Madam Zhang was fine when she was young. Just think about it, she was on good terms with Madam Shen. She must have been as capable as Madam Shen when she was young.

But as she grew older, none of her descendants were outstanding, so the Zhang family gradually became less outstanding.

This time, Mrs. Zhang's granddaughter was able to marry in the capital because she found her own family members and was able to get this marriage.

It was said that the father of the man her granddaughter was going to marry was a minor official in the capital. The Zhang family attached great importance to him and was afraid that if the dowry was not enough, they would be looked down upon.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, the capital city is not short of such small officials. I am afraid that they are just eyeing the dowry of Zhang's daughter.

It’s just that no one in the Zhang family understands what’s going on, so they just muddle along and think their daughter is marrying above her station, and they can’t wait to give her the best things.”
