Chapter 1013 I also have someone to protect
After Zhang Zhong finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Yiru's face, which was filled with disbelief, and said, "Master, the old lady still has some silver in her hands.
Please treat her well and don't hurt her feelings."
Zhang Yiru glared at Zhang Zhong and said, "I'm a filial son to my mother, why would you meddle in my business?"
Zhang Yiru was unhappy because he didn't get any benefits. After coming out of the prison, he kept saying it was bad luck.
Zhang Zhongze hummed a little tune with satisfaction. He made up the first part of the sentence and added the second part.
He knew that what he had done was unfair to the old lady.
If the old lady had not rescued him, he would have frozen to death on the street.
After so many years, he has made enough money by following her.
This time, it was his bad luck, he accepted it, but the old lady was innocent.
He guessed that this time the Zhang family would not let the old lady go, and Zhang Yiru and his wife would take the opportunity to seize the housekeeper power, making life difficult for the old lady.
With those words just now, at least they will treat the old lady well for the sake of money.
Zhang Zhong leaned his head against the prison wall and muttered to himself, "Old Madam, I can only help you up to this point.
I hope you will take good care of yourself in the days ahead.
I'm sorry, but you clearly know that I have done bad things in your village, so why don't you do anything about it?
If you had said a few harsh words to me, or spanked me, I wouldn't have made the same mistake again!"
After Zhang Zhong said this, he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his hands.
Shen Liang arrived at the prison in the afternoon. Zhang Zhong raised his head and glanced at Shen Liang, who was standing straight outside. "Manager Shen, you are really punctual."
“As a businessman, you must be punctual, otherwise, no one will dare to do business with you.
Butler Zhang, did you do as I said?"
"Manager Shen, do I still have a choice now?"
"He's a clever man."
"A man who knows the current situation is a hero. I, Zhang Zhong, am not so foolish as to risk my life."
"Okay, since Butler Zhang is a straightforward person, I, Shen Liang, am not the kind of person who doesn't keep his word."
After Shen Liang looked around, he deliberately lowered his voice and said, “I have asked someone to take care of everything on the road for you.
This way, at least your days on the road will be a little better.
Also, after you leave the city, someone will claim to be your old friend and will see you off.
At that time, he will give you a package. In addition to the clothes prepared for you, this package also contains one hundred taels of silver as you requested.
Butler Zhang, please keep it safe when the time comes."
After Shen Liang finished his explanation, he was about to leave, but Zhang Zhong stopped him, "Manager Shen, once Zhang leaves Qingfeng City, it will be impossible for him to come back.
I would also like to ask Manager Shen to clarify my doubts. Why are you helping me like this? "
"Didn't Manager Zhang also help me?"
"What did I do to help you? It was just a few words. Zhang thinks that no matter how it is calculated, Manager Shen will suffer a loss."
Shen Liang shook his head and said, “As long as the Zhang family is not at peace, Shen will not suffer any loss.”
Zhang Zhong was shocked. “Manager Shen, if I remember correctly, the Zhang family and you shouldn’t have any conflicts, right?”
"Butler Zhang, you're asking too many questions."
"No, Manager Shen, I have already said that once I leave Qingfeng City, I will never return to Qingfeng City.
Therefore, I beg Manager Shen to please explain clearly to me, otherwise, I will feel ashamed to accept these things that Manager Shen has given me."
"Butler Zhang is indeed Butler Zhang, he knows a lot.
Okay, I won’t hide it from you. You, Zhang Zhong, have people to protect, and I, Chen Liang, also have people to protect.
She made the person I was protecting sad, so I won't let her have an easy time.
Steward Zhang is such a smart person, he should be able to understand it!"
Shen Liang left with a swagger after saying this.
Zhang Zhong slapped himself in the face a few more times, "Zhang Zhong, you are such a bastard, what were you doing earlier? Why didn't you stop the old lady?"
After saying this, he slapped himself hard a few times and said, "It's all your fault. If you hadn't gotten involved, the old lady would have gone to trouble with Madam Ye."
As he spoke, he shed tears of regret in the prison, because it was too late to say anything now.
After Zhang Yiru returned from the prison, he told Li Mengdie everything Zhang Zhong had said, word for word, "Madam, what my mother did before was wrong, but she still has money. Besides, our Zhou Dynasty is ruled by filial piety, so shouldn't we..."
Li Mengdie twisted the handkerchief in her hand fiercely. Although she felt unwilling, she had to consider her children.
Then, she pretended to be aggrieved and said, "Master, you know best what kind of life I have been living for so many years.
Our family is living in such a difficult situation, and even though mother has money in her hands, she won't give it away.
Nowadays, there is only one person taking care of our yard and the children's yard inside and out.
There are still two people serving the old lady, not including the nanny who does the rough work.
As for food, drinks and other daily necessities, I always give her first, and then us.
What else do you want me to do? I don’t want to be in this family anymore.”
Zhang Yiru continued to speak kindly, persuading Li Mengdie, "My dear madam, it's all your husband's fault. I have wronged you.
As your husband, I understand your suffering. When I see that my mother is in a good mood, I will try to comfort her.
Then ask her to hand over some silver to our servant."
Li Mengdie wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and forced a smile, "That's more like it."
This is how the Zhang family is, with the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law fighting with each other from time to time.
Old Madam Zhang used to have Zhang Zhong's help, and it was like a piece of cake for her to manipulate Li Mengdie.
But now Li Mengdie is no longer afraid of her, and she is no longer as cautious as before when speaking to Old Madam Zhang.
Basically, I can say whatever I want to say and I won't indulge her anymore.
Whenever Mrs. Zhang spoke to Li Mengdie, she would get so angry that her chest would hurt. After a long time, whenever she saw Li Mengdie hadn't spoken, she would feel a headache and heartache.
Li Mengdie exaggerated the story and told it to Zhang Yiru, who then blamed Madam Zhang and disliked her for treating Li Mengdie like that.
"How should I treat her? Does she deserve me to treat her well?"
"How can she not be worthy? She is my wife!
Mom, you disappoint me so much."
Zhang Yiru turned around and left. Old Madam Zhang looked at her son's back and it was too late for her to pretend to faint.
The Zhang family lived like this, with a small quarrel every two days and a big quarrel every three days.
Of course, the Zhang family's affairs were exaggerated and spread to the streets. It spread from one person to ten, and then to a hundred people. It seemed that the whole Qingfeng City knew about the Zhang family's little trouble.
Zhang Juexia received Ye Beixiu's letter and was reading it with great interest. Li Yun didn't even bother to read the letter from home and was happy to tell Zhang Juexia about the Zhang family.
She spoke as she performed, making Zhang Juexia laugh out loud.
