"Ms. Zhou's grandfather's generation built up quite a fortune by partnering with others to ship goods to the West.
“The old man has only one son, and he is Miss Zhou’s father.
"Seeing that his son wasn't cut out for business, the old man used his money to donate an official position for him.
“It’s called being an official, but it’s actually just an empty title.
"Ever since the old man passed away, her father hasn't had any good way to increase his income, so he can only live on the wealth accumulated by his ancestors.
“But as the saying goes, even a broken ship still has three thousand nails.
“Although the Zhou family is now on the decline, their substantial wealth will not be spent in a short period of time.
"This Miss Zhou is the youngest daughter in the family. Her two older brothers and two older sisters are all married.
"Now my parents only have this precious child left, and he is also loved by his older brothers and sisters.
"Fortunately, this Miss Zhou is naturally well-behaved. Not only has she not been spoiled by her family, but she has also devoted herself to learning cooking skills without any complications.

"Why is the fourth brother so stubborn?"
Hearing this, Ye Qingshan looked up at her while drinking his soup and said jokingly, "Hey, isn't this the time when you were afraid that others would rely on us?"
Shao immediately rolled his eyes to the sky.
"You are such a person, you always bring up things that are not related to the topic!
"That's all some old shit, and you're not even going to let me turn back from my wrong path?"
"Then how confident do you think the fourth brother will be if he goes to the Zhou family to propose marriage?"
"We can't rush this matter; we have to take it step by step." Shao said confidently, "After the fourth brother recovers from his injury, you should first promote him.
