Chapter 147 You will be struck by lightning from now on!
The evening is naturally followed by a good meal.
Speaking of Zhou Lang's outrageous family, Wang had a lot to say, "Fourth brother went to the exam, it cost a lot of money, and fourth brother's wife also took the children to accompany him to the exam, staying in inns and eating in restaurants, how much money did this cost! Dad, Mom, now our family is making tofu, and fourth brother's wife doesn't care much anymore, shouldn't we give her more money? Even if we give them money, they can't save it, and they spend it lavishly. When the fourth room needs money in the future, should they ask for it from the public treasury again?"
Mrs. Zhou didn't even raise her head. "You are from a big family. You are so quick to burn bridges after crossing them. You should be more diligent and make more money to support yourself. Don't always keep your eyes on other people's pockets. They can spend their money however they want. It's good enough that they don't ask the public treasury for money. In my opinion, Dalang used to pay for his studies and exams with the public treasury money. Now the fourth son has to pay for his studies with the money from the fourth family. This is unfair, old man, don't you think so?"
Old man Zhou originally wanted to agree with Wang's words, but was asked this question by Mrs. Zhou.
When the words came into his mouth, he swallowed them.
"Eat without eating, sleep without talking."
Just get away with it.
After the meal, Wang angrily said to Zhou Qinan, "My son, your grandma is biased to the west. She even compares you with your fourth uncle. You are a genius who has been praised by the teacher as a good student. No one in a hundred miles can be as good as my son. You were born into their Zhou family, which is a blessing for them. It is a good thing that they have burned eight lifetimes of incense to get. They don't cherish it and even compare you with your idiot fourth uncle!"
"Your idiot fourth uncle has been an idiot for eighteen years, and now he's well enough to know a few words. They actually used a idiot to insult my son. It's really infuriating. If my son studies and becomes famous in the future, the whole family will benefit and have face. When your grandfather dies and goes to see the ancestors, he will have face. Isn't it reasonable for him to spend some money on your education?"
"That old woman doesn't know what's good for her. She complains that you spent money on studying, and compares you to a fool. She also mocks us for not making money. We are busy every day, and they treat us like cattle and horses. Your two younger brothers' legs are swollen from running every day, but they only give them a few silver coins. The wages paid to outsiders are higher than us. What's the point of paying according to work? It's just bullying our family. I'm not in good health. How can I compare with them who have long arms and legs, broad hearts and fat bodies?"
"Your grandfather used to protect you in every way, but now your grandmother is so proud of the fourth branch, and her words are no longer effective. Of course, your grandfather is also snobbish, and has been almost blinded by the money earned by the fourth branch. Now he doesn't even speak up for us. Our first branch is the root of the Zhou family. I think your grandfather is really getting old and confused..."
"My son, don't be so kind. You care whether the dumb girl from the fourth room studies or not. It's really ridiculous that she, a dumb girl, also goes to school. The fourth room will be struck by lightning in the future for wasting money like this!"
…
Wang was so upset that she kept muttering to Boss Zhou every day.
Boss Zhou’s ears are almost callused from listening so much that he doesn’t like to listen.
Her son rarely comes home, so once she gets the chance, she can't stop talking.
Fortunately, her son never disliked her.
She said that her son would listen with a calm expression and comfort her after listening.
"Forget it, mother was wrong. Don't take mother's words to heart. Your grandfather must still put you first in his heart. Don't be distracted by these little things at home. Just study hard!"
"Okay, Mom."
After saying this, Zhou Qinan stuffed another ten taels of silver into Wang's pocket.
"Mom, you are not in good health, so you can do less work. These are from my copying books. Take the flowers."
Wang was so moved that her eyes became wet.
"My son, I've told you that copying books will affect your study time. Don't copy books. Your father, mother, and your two brothers all have income every day. For you, mother will do anything without getting tired."
Zhou Qinan replied, "It doesn't take me much time to copy books, and it doesn't interfere with my studies. My son will know what to do. Copying books can also consolidate what you have learned and deepen your impression. You can earn money and learn something at the same time."
"That's good." Wang was overjoyed. "Mother must have done good deeds in her previous life to give birth to such a good son like you. Son, what do you want to eat for supper later? I'll secretly go to the kitchen and make it for you."
"No need. I'll have a full meal tonight. Mom will go to bed early, and I'll go to bed early too. I have to go to school tomorrow morning."
Wang left her son's room reluctantly.
Go back and show off to Boss Zhou.
Look at how promising her son is, he is much better than the fourth wife and her husband.
Her son will definitely have a bright future.
The fortune teller had already predicted to her that if the Zhou family gave birth to a talented person, it would definitely be the son born to her, Wang!
She didn't dare to show off to others. If she told others, and it got to Mrs. Zhou's ears, she would definitely come to her to ask for it.
I can only show off to Boss Zhou, and it’s enough for my family to know about it.
As expected, Zhou Qinan turned off the lights and went to bed early.
Seeing that her son was really resting, Wang didn't stay up any longer and went to sleep too.
It was late night.
The door of Zhou Qinan's room opened.
He looked around and saw no one, so he pretended to go to the toilet, and then turned into the yard of the new house.
Entered the main house.
Lin Shiqi and her friends' room was locked, but that didn't pose a problem for him. He took out a special crochet hook and opened the door lock in one go.
I went in and searched carefully.
He did not miss any corner.
After the search, everything was restored.
Then, lock the door.
He went to the little mute girl's room again and searched it carefully as well.
He didn't find what he wanted to find.
Late at night, he stood quietly in the room, wondering what he was thinking about.
His eyes were as cold as those of an evil spirit rising from the abyss.
***
Lin Shiqi was engrossed in reading a novel.
She found the treasure!
She found the book The First Young Master of Dayu in the male novel package.
I couldn't hear it clearly before, but now I have found it and watched it again, the feeling is different and much more profound.
In the end, Zhou Qinan became very successful and even married the princess.
Living the dream life of every man in the world, everyone is truly happy.
As for her, she had read through the entire book and found something about the silver mine in Guimenguan Stronghold. It said that a silver mine was discovered behind Guimenguan Stronghold, and they used the silver mine to trade with the government to get redemption. Several leaders of Guimenguan were transformed from bandits into good citizens of Dayu State...
At that time, the State of Dayu was in crisis and its silver treasury was very empty, so the government agreed to the deal. Half of the silver went into the State of Dayu, and the other half was embezzled by corrupt officials. Zhou Qinan, the Imperial Inspector, personally went to investigate the silver mines at the emperor's order, and recovered a lot of the embezzled silver, which pleased the emperor.
