Chapter 1474 Connections
Zhou Wulang said, "Does the Luo family have many brothers? Why don't we call our third brother and the others over next time we go back home? We won't be afraid if a fight really breaks out."
Zhou Silang began to think about it. "You're right. They have more people, but we don't have enough brothers. Next time I go back, I'll see if there's anyone in the village willing to join us. Brother Huzi is a good fighter, but it's a pity he doesn't have any brothers to look after him at home. I'm afraid he can't leave home."
But even if Zhou Hu can't do it, other people in the village can.
Originally Zhou Silang thought that it was enough to take his three sons with him. After all, they were just driving carts and carrying goods, which they were used to doing. But after this time, they realized that it still didn't work.
He is too thin and cannot beat the opponent.
Thinking about this, Zhou Silang checked the tea leaves and found they were fine. When he ate dinner, he picked out the meat. Manbao held his chopsticks down and said, "Fourth brother, you can't eat too much meat now. Be careful not to upset your stomach."
If someone else said this, Zhou Silang would definitely not believe it, but since Manbao said so, he had to believe it, so he could only pick up the dish next to him with regret.
Zhou Wulang said, "Fourth brother, I have already made an agreement with Ah Liudun. He will come over to check out the tea leaves tomorrow."
Zhou Silang nodded.
Manbao finished his meal, put down his bowl and chopsticks, and said, "Fourth brother, we are having a housewarming party on the 19th the day after tomorrow. Do you have any guests to invite?"
"No," Zhou Silang shook his head. "A Liudun and the others are only suitable for drinking in restaurants, not for bringing home. But you reminded me, Liwei, you should stay home and help out for the next two days, and let your second sister go out with me."
Zhou Liwei: "...Why?"
Zhou Silang raised his eyelids and glanced at him before saying, "Why else could it be? Your second sister is better at accounting than you are, so she'll never be at a disadvantage. She'll definitely need help in the kitchen when we have a banquet at home. Are your second sister's cooking skills good enough to work in the kitchen?"
Manbao opened his mouth and looked at the excited Zhou Lijun, but he didn't tell Zhou Silang that they didn't need to go into the kitchen for the banquet on the 19th.
After dinner, Manbao went to see Fang again before she ate a bowl of porridge and went to bed.
Zhou Lijun and Zhou Liru also came over to see him. Seeing their worried faces, Manbao said, "Don't worry, he should wake up tomorrow."
The aunt, niece and two others returned to the main courtyard carrying lanterns.
The only sound in the long corridor was their footsteps. Zhou Liru huddled beside Zhou Lijun and whispered, "Second sister, are you scared?"
Zhou Lijun rolled his eyes and said, "What are you afraid of? This is our home."
Manbao also looked at Zhou Liru curiously, then suddenly leaned forward and screamed "Wow!", and Zhou Liru was so scared that he screamed "Ahhh——".
Zhou Lijun: ...
Manbao laughed out loud with joy.
Zhou Lizhong, who was about to rush out, stopped when he heard Manbao's loud laughter.
Zhou Wulang yelled at them from across the wall, "Manbao, stop scaring people!"
Manbao dragged Zhou Lijun and Zhou Liru away.
Back at the main courtyard, Bai Shan and the others had just finished their meal and came to look for her. "How is Zhou Si's wife?"
Manbao smiled and said, "Although the loss is serious, my life is not in danger at the moment, so I just need to take good care of it."
Bai Shan breathed a sigh of relief.
Bai Erlang asked curiously, "I heard that Zhou Sige was crying, right?"
Manbao: "...You cry too, don't you? What's so strange about my fourth brother crying?"
Of course it's strange. He is already a father, but he is still a young man. Crying... is naturally nothing.
But he didn't dare say anything as Manbao stared at him.
Bai Shan asked, "Do you want me to ask someone to find out about the Luo family?"
Chenggu County wasn't close to the capital, and a powerful dragon couldn't suppress a local snake. Reporting the case to the authorities wouldn't reveal anything. Furthermore, it was difficult to determine who was right and who was wrong.
I heard that Fang's two blows were quite severe.
Manbao also knew that it would be difficult to report this matter to the authorities, but she also wanted to know, was this a common practice of the Luo family bullying others, or were they specifically bullying their Zhou family?
So she nodded and said, "Then I'll leave it to you."
Bai Erlang asked, "How do you check? Ask Brother Tang for help?"
"How could he have the time?" Bai Shan said, "I heard that Lord Yin is currently suing Minister Feng and wants to transfer Brother Tang from the Ministry of Justice to Chang'an County as the county magistrate. I remember Yi Ziyang has a cousin who is from Liangzhou, so I asked him to help find out."
Chenggu County is under the jurisdiction of Liangzhou and is very close.
Bai Jilang: "Why don't I remember?"
Bai Shan shook his head. "How should I know you? His cousin is studying in Liangzhou Prefecture. He came to Beijing this year to take the special examination. He's in the capital right now. Didn't we see him outside the Imperial College last time?"
Bai Erlang racked his brains for a long time before he remembered a vague figure. He seemed to have really seen him before and they seemed to have had dinner together.
The two senior sisters and brothers looked at the junior brother with contempt and said nothing.
Everyone turned around and went back to their rooms.
Manbao lowered the curtains in the room, turned off the lights, went to bed, and directly entered the system.
In a distant time and space, Teacher Mo's world has just entered the nightlife time. Of course, as an educator and scientific research enthusiast, Teacher Mo's nightlife is to teach students and do research.
So as soon as Manbao entered the teaching room, he saw Teacher Mo looking down at the materials opposite him.
Since the two sides opened video communication, Manbao can often see Teacher Mo in the classroom.
He knew that Manbao was only available to take online classes at night, so he basically moved his own online time to the evening as well.
As soon as he saw Manbao, he put down the information in his hand, looked up and asked with a smile, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"
Manbao talked about what happened at home, focusing on her fourth sister-in-law's pulse and the prescription she prescribed.
Teacher Mo actually couldn't quite understand why he would get so sick from being frightened after going out, but judging from his pulse, the prescription prescribed by Manbao was not bad.
He suddenly thought of something and took out a book. "A few days ago, I happened to find a book that dealt with similar symptoms. I think there are two good prescriptions there, but they're a little different from the one you prescribed..."
The teacher and student started the class.
The next day, Manbao washed up, picked up a bun and went to see Fang in front.
Fang has woken up. After a night's rest, perhaps due to the effects of Manbao's acupuncture and medicine, she was able to sit up this morning.
She was in a daze yesterday and seemed to see Manbao. Only now did she realize that they had really arrived in the capital.
She couldn't help but look out the window and asked, "Manbao, where is your fourth brother?"
Manbao hadn't seen Zhou Silang on his way here, so he paused for a moment and asked, "Did he go out?"
She stepped forward and felt Fang's pulse, then asked, "Fourth sister-in-law, do you feel any discomfort today?"
After feeling it carefully, Fang said, "My chest is still a little stuffy and my head is a little dizzy, but that's all. Your fourth brother is out, but where's the child?"
"Fifth sister-in-law is taking care of the child," Manbao said, "Fourth sister-in-law, you are sick, and the child should not be close to you, otherwise he will be infected with the disease, so Fifth sister-in-law is taking care of the child for the time being."
Fang heaved a sigh of relief and said, "I thought I wouldn't survive."
See you at 4 p.m.
