Zhao was scolded but she was not convinced. She said angrily, "Why does Dad keep blaming me? If Dad didn't value her medical skills so much, she wouldn't be so willful and ignore everyone!"

Yu Ruhai became more and more angry when he heard Zhao complaining about him. He couldn't help but slam the table, his chest heaving with anger, "You act recklessly? I think the third brother indulges you too much, that's why you are so unruly!"

Yu Zhou quickly used her hands to calm him down, winked at Zhao, and said softly, "Master, don't be angry with her. She is just worried about the second and fourth brothers, and she was anxious at the moment, so she said these inappropriate words."

She then rebuked Zhao, "Say less. Your father cares most about the future of his brothers. He loves Jinshu and Jinyan as much as you do. The most important thing right now is how to persuade Miss Meng to go find Principal Lin."

Yu Zhou's gentle voice soothed Yu Ruhai, who was a little less angry. After a moment's silence, he said to Yu Zhou, "Go find the eldest daughter-in-law and ask her to talk to Yu Jiao. The eldest wife is closer to Meng and has never quarreled with her. Ask Zhang to ask that girl for Zhizhou's future."

Zhang had already learned from Yu Zhizhou that there was no room for maneuver on the Zhang family's part. Even without Yu Zhou's words, she was planning to ask Yu Jiao for help.

After Yu Zhou left the east room, she saw Yu Mengshan going to the kitchen to cook bamboo. Zhang told Yu Qiaoshan, who was making umbrellas outside, about her idea.

Yu Qiaoshan put down the work in his hands and said to Zhang, "Everyone has their own destiny. If Meng girl is really in trouble, don't force her."

He was down-to-earth and open-minded. He thought that if Zhizhou was really a good student, he could just rely on himself to pass the exam like his fifth brother. If he was not a good student, he would not be able to pass the exam even if he asked for a place as a student.

Zhang sighed, "I know. I'm not fanciful in hoping that our Zhizhou will pass the provincial examination. I just want to use the opportunity of Zhizhou's provincial examination to find him a marriage partner. I like the girls that matchmaker Wang mentioned last time. If I can arrange a marriage for Zhizhou, I'll feel at ease."

Yu Qiaoshan nodded, lowered his head and continued to work on his work. Zhang stood up and walked towards the east room.

Yu Fuling was sewing clothes by the window, and Yu Jiao re-embroidered the willow leaves that she had taken apart last time, intending to embroider a handkerchief.

Zhang lifted the bamboo curtain and walked in. Yu Fuling raised her head and called out with a smile, "Aunt."

Zhang found a stool in the room and sat down in front of the two of them. She smiled and said, "Meng girl, what are you embroidering?"

"I want to embroider a handkerchief." Yu Jiao felt that her needlework was really not good enough, and she pursed her lips a little embarrassedly.

Zhang looked at it for a while, but couldn't figure out what pattern Yu Jiao was embroidering. She hesitantly introduced the topic, "Meng girl, regarding the matter of the third brother... the eldest aunt still has to... has to ask you for help. I know what the fifth brother said makes sense. I didn't expect Zhizhou to pass the imperial examination, but I thought that if he passed the provincial examination, it would sound better and it would be easier for him to find a job as an accountant in the town in the future. Right now, I have asked the matchmaker to find him a marriage partner, and I also boasted that the third brother is going to take the provincial examination... If he fails, this marriage may also fail."

Zhang continued, "Your uncle and I are not capable, and your third brother is not as valued by the old man and the old lady as the two brothers from the third room. As his parents, we have to think more about him. Your uncle just told me that if you really feel embarrassed, we will not blame you."

Seeing Zhang humble herself to beg a junior, Yu Fuling couldn't help but be moved and pulled Yu Jiao's hand.

Yu Jiao put down the flower shed in her hand and sighed in her heart, saying that parents who love their children will plan for them in the long run.

She looked at Zhang and said, "Aunt, I can't guarantee whether this thing can be accomplished. I will go to the Lin Mansion in two days to talk to Lin Shanzhang."

Zhang didn't expect her to agree so easily. She thought that based on Yu Jiao's previous statement in the main hall, it would be very difficult to persuade her.

She immediately smiled and said excitedly, "Auntie thanks you on behalf of my third brother. If your third brother is really successful, I will teach him to repay you as his sister."

Yu Jiao smiled. She didn’t dare to expect Yu Zhizhou to repay her. It would be enough if he just stopped hurting her.

"Aunt, please don't make this matter public for now. Let the third room take care of it first." Yu Jiao said.

Zhang immediately understood. Now that the matter was settled, she felt relieved. She smiled and said, "The third room has been spoiled by the old lady. It's time to temper them. I will definitely not tell anyone."

Yu Jiao smiled and picked up the flower shed again.

"I haven't finished making the cloth you sent me yet. You guys are busy and I will continue to make clothes." Zhang stood up with a smile and left the east room.

Yu Fuling looked at Yu Jiao with a smile and asked, "You are a person who is hard on the outside but soft on the inside. Have you already planned to go to the Lin Mansion to ask Master Lin for this matter?"

"No." Yu Jiao denied it while lowering her head to embroider flowers.

Yu Fuling didn't believe it. She said, "Don't I know you? You are just angry about what Third Aunt and Second Brother said. You are so tough on the outside, but in your heart you must be thinking about asking Master Lin for help."

Yu Jiao looked up at her and said with a smile, "You are the smartest. What do you mean by hard mouth and soft heart? I am not only hard mouth but also hard heart."

Yu Fuling laughed, "But with Third Aunt's temper, they will definitely make trouble with you again when Third Uncle comes home."

Yu Jiao smiled faintly. She was the type of person who would rather be treated softly than harshly. If Yu Hanshan and his wife wanted to confront her in a tough way, then they would see who could be tougher.

There needs to be some adjustment between people.

Some people have kind intentions in their hearts and know how to repay kindness. If you treat them well, they will return the favor.

Some people are very dutiful. If you respect me one inch, I will respect you one yard. I will not take advantage of you, nor will I harm you.

But some people, like the Zhao couple, are used to being bossy, taking advantage of others, and are cruel and ruthless, thinking that everything is their due.

This kind of person should not be spoiled. Otherwise, if you respect her, she will think you are easy to bully and will become more and more demanding. If you are kind to her, you deserve to be bullied by her.

The reason why she wanted to go to Principal Lin was because she felt that no matter what, the number of births for the three of them was more or less affected by her going to Zhang's house for medical treatment.

But if she agreed directly, people like those in the third room would not only not be grateful to her, but would also think it was their due.

If something happens once, it will happen twice.

The way people get along with each other is a process of adjustment. Since she stays in the Yu family, she has to let the third room know her rules of conduct, so that they won't cause trouble for her all day long and make her uncomfortable.

In the evening, when Yu Hanshan came back from closing his stall, Zhao exaggerated the fact that Yu Jinshu and Yu Jinyan's places as students were crossed out. Yu Hanshan was really furious, and picked up a broom to go to the east room to find Yu Jiao.

He was stopped by Yu Ruhai, who scolded him terribly.
