Chapter 1009: Refusing to Admit Mistakes
"You've really rebelled, you unruly people! Today I'm going to let you taste my power!"
"Old woman, if you want to show off, go back home. These people won't buy it."
"That's right, your Zhang family is a broke family that makes a living by selling land. Why are you showing off to me?"
"Let me tell you something even more interesting. This old woman is quite interesting. She sold her farm for silver.
The new buyer has already given her the money and the land deed has been transferred, but something happened at her home, and she keeps running to the new buyer's house to find fault!
As for the matter concerning her housekeeper Zhang today, she also went to the new buyer's house first before coming to the government office."
"Why is this happening? Why did she do this? Is it because she's really old and her brain isn't working well anymore?"
"I haven't finished what I'm saying yet. I want to remind you all, if anyone has any business involvement with the Zhang family in the future, you'd better keep your eyes open, otherwise you won't have a peaceful life."
"We've noted it, but you haven't told me why she did that."
"Why did she do this, how would I know?
I guess she sold the farm and she's feeling unhappy."
"What's wrong with that? If the farm is sold, won't she have money in her hands?"
"You don't understand. Her children are not doing well and have to rely on selling the farm to make a living. How can she feel happy?"
"That person is too dishonest!
You are already this old, why are you still taking advantage of your age?
Someone bought her farm out of kindness, but ended up like this.
From now on, I’m afraid no one will do business with the Zhang family anymore.”
Old Madam Zhang's face turned pale and red at what these people said. She wanted to argue, but she didn't know where to start.
A servant from the Zhang family, sweating profusely, arrived before Madam Zhang, no longer minding any etiquette or manners. He shouted, "Madam, this is terrible! The prefect has sent someone to reprimand the master, saying he's been negligent in his duties as a steward and has stripped him of his title of scholar."
Madam Zhang grabbed the servant's collar and said, "What did you say? Say it again!"
The Zhang family's servant repeated what he had just said. Old Madam Zhang couldn't catch her breath and fainted.
"Old lady, wake up, don't scare us!"
"Is she really dead?"
"Who knows? Although we plan to redeem ourselves and leave the mansion, we are still servants of the Zhang family. How about this, let's divide the work!
You go get the doctor, and we'll carry the old lady onto the carriage and leave here quickly."
"good!"
After Old Madam Zhang was carried away, the area outside the government office became much quieter.
Gao Xing and Wu Haoran have already invited each other to go for a drink.
Li Yun and Lai Xi were laughing very happily. Just now, when everyone was criticizing Old Madam Zhang, Li Yun and Lai Xi had really added fuel to the fire.
They prepared to go home and share this joy with Zhang Juexia.
Shitou got on Gaoxing's carriage. Gaoxing had already promised him that he would treat him to a good meal today to calm his nerves.
Shitou asked cautiously, "Master Gao, when are you going to the Madam's house? I want to tell her the good news."
"I think you should just save yourself the trouble!
Your wife will know in a short while."
Shitou uttered a sound of disappointment, then leaned back in the carriage in a daze.
"Shi Tou, let me tell you, your life was saved by a big guy.
Don’t think about those trivial things. After dinner, I will take you to the shop. The important thing is to work hard.
Do you understand?
Shitou nodded fiercely, "Master Gao, I'll remember what you said.
But when will I be able to run around like you? "
“Once you have grown up, you can travel around.
Boy, are you particularly envious of me?"
"Master Gao, you are truly amazing. How did you guess what I was thinking?"
"Your little tricks are all written on your face, it's hard to guess.
I tell you, under your wife's guidance, as long as you work hard, you will have your day to succeed.
It's much easier than working under me, so remember my words, working hard is your best way out.
Aren’t you envious of me running around?
When you become the shopkeeper, you can travel around."
"real?"
"Figure it out yourself!"
Gao Xing no longer paid attention to Shi Tou and turned around to discuss with Wu Haoran which restaurant to go to for drinks and food.
Needless to say, Shen Liang was delighted. He wanted to rush to Zhang Juexia's house and tell her what happened today.
But he thought about it and quickly put away the smile on his face, because he knew he had more important things to do.
He waved his hand, and several people approached him, "How is it?"
“Manager, it’s all done.
I don’t know how those idiots in the Zhang family were brainwashed by Old Madam Zhang, and they didn’t believe it at first.
I used a little trick to invite out the seventh old man, the most powerful one in their clan.
He went home with a gloomy face before he even finished his pot of tea.
"And Mrs. Zhang's daughter-in-law was so happy when she learned that her mother-in-law was in trouble!
She really hoped that something would happen to the old woman, and kept asking me whether this was true.
I told her that if she didn't believe it, she could go out and ask on the street.
She couldn't bring herself to do it, so she asked her personal maid to go out to the street. After a short while, her personal maid came back with a happy face.
The man who was speaking groped in his pocket and said, "Manager, look, this is the reward I got."
Shen Liang didn't even raise his head, "Take it and drink it!"
“I’ve also sent someone from the Zhang family to take charge. Are we still going to join in the fun?”
Shen Liang was eager to do so, "Let's go, how can we be left behind in such a matter!"
The Zhang family was in chaos at this time. After Old Madam Zhang was carried back, a doctor came to treat her.
After a few injections, she finally regained consciousness.
Her disappointing son, who was afraid that she would not wake up, kept complaining to her, "Mom, look at what you have done. You said that when the government office summoned Zhang Zhong, you just let him go.
Why did you follow me? If it weren't for you, I would have lost my reputation as a scholar."
"If it's gone, it's gone. You can take the exam again and get it back.
Yi'er, you should strive for honor and do as your father did, and try to pass the imperial examination and become a juren.
That way no one will look down on you."
Zhang Yiru almost spit out a mouthful of blood, "Mom, you go take the exam. I won't go. I don't have the ability."
"Okay, if I say yes, then yes."
"You still say that Zhang Zhong has never done anything to offend you?
But what happened? This old traitor, my wife and I both saw that there was something wrong with the Zhuangzi account books, but you insisted that there was nothing wrong.
