Ji Xingzhi nodded thoughtfully, then turned slightly to Zhou Zheng and said, "Uncle Zhou, remember this girl."
Zhou Zheng nodded slightly and said, "Yes."
"Are there any other children here as talented as Nian?" Ji Xingzhi asked.
Du Jiang was slightly stunned. Although he didn't understand why Ji Xingzhi was looking for a gifted child, he still pointed at the boy behind Nian and said, "His name is Zhou You. He lives in Linxi. His ancestors were ordinary people for generations. In his generation, his father went to work in the mountains and accidentally slipped down the hillside and broke his leg. He has been paralyzed in bed ever since.
His mother suffered from tuberculosis and her health was getting worse day by day. Zhou You also had a seven-year-old sister. Unfortunately, his sister had a serious fever when she was four years old. There was no money to treat her. Although she was lucky enough to survive, her brain was damaged since then.
Zhou You sold his body voluntarily, and he gave all the money he earned to his mother. He is truly a filial son."
Ji Xingzhi couldn't help but sigh, this family has suffered so much misfortune...
"Zhou You works very hard. Although he has no talent, his tenacity makes me admire him." Du Jiang sighed again.
Ji Xingzhi glanced at Du Jiang calmly, feeling a little surprised. This black businessman who was only interested in making money didn't seem as cold-blooded and ruthless as she had imagined. At least, he still had a conscience.
Ji Xingzhi glanced at Zhou Zheng and said, "Write this down."
"Yes." Zhou Zheng replied.
Du Jiang continued to recommend several smarter children, and Ji Xingzhi asked Zhou Zheng to write them down one by one.
After leaving the Du family's private courtyard, Ji Xingzhi asked Zhou Zheng to release Du Jiang's family, and the three of them prepared to go to the Ji family.
Zhou Zheng stopped short, bowed his head slightly, and said, "Sister, please allow me to go home for a while."
Ji Xingzhi and Wu Fang also stopped and turned to look at Zhou Zheng. Ji Xingzhi pondered for a moment, then looked up at Zhou Zheng and said, "I'll go with you."
Zhou Zheng was stunned when he heard this and asked in confusion: "Sister, aren't you going to the Ji family?"
Hearing this, Ji Xingzhi touched his chin and said, "No rush."
With the eunuch around, Ji Ruhua should not be bullied in the Ji family.
No one knew what Zhou Zheng was thinking, but he dressed himself up like a beggar, wearing ragged clothes, unkempt hair, and a pair of worn-out cloth shoes with even his toes exposed. A sour odor could be smelled from a distance, much stinkier than the mud in the sewer.
Ji Xingzhi couldn't help but frown slightly. Where did Zhou Zheng get this outfit? Dressed like this, he looked even more like a beggar.
Zhou Zheng knew that he smelled terrible, so he didn't dare get too close to Ji Xingzhi.
Ji Xingzhi looked at Zhou Zheng and didn't understand why Zhou Zheng made himself look like this. After all, he was sold by his parents. Now that he came back, he should come back in glory and dazzle his parents.
Why did Zhou Zheng do the opposite? Was he trying to make his parents feel guilty?
Thinking of this, Ji Xingzhi looked at Wu Fang thoughtfully, stretched out his hand and waved, indicating Wu Fang to lower his head.
Wu Fang understood, bent down and stood beside Ji Xingzhi.
Ji Xingzhi whispered a few mysterious words to Wu Fang.
Wu Fang listened, a smile appeared on his face, he said "yes" to Ji Xingzhi and left.
Zhou Zheng watched from afar, frowning in confusion.
Ji Xingzhi gave Zhou Zheng a mysterious smile and said to him in a good mood, "Lead the way."
