Chapter 37: How will Dalang take the imperial examination in the future?
Wang's face turned pale.
Then she said, "I still have my Dalang. I will definitely rely on him to support me in my old age. Dalang said that when he passes the imperial examination, he will ask for a degree for me..."
Boss Zhou rolled his eyes at her and said she was dreaming.
Women are always whimsical and short-sighted.
"Then go ahead and piss off your mother. If you piss her off to death, you'll be accused of being unfilial. How will Dalang take the imperial examinations in the future? If your own mother is unfilial and you piss your mother-in-law off to death, your whole life will be ruined in your hands!"
Wang was suddenly speechless.
"I, I'm not unfilial!"
He was too ashamed to say another word.
***
In the second room.
Silence.
Yesterday, Zhou Laoer experienced the family punishment, and everyone in the room cried as if the sky had fallen.
I think Old Man Zhou was ruthless.
Watch Zhou Laosan getting beaten again today.
I felt inexplicably comforted.
"Dad, Mom, you still love us..."
***
In the third room.
Liu cried like a tearful person.
Clean the wounds of the unconscious Zhou Laosan, bandage them and apply medicine.
The two little ones cried loudly and were taken out to play by Lin Shiqi.
She only has time to take care of Zhou Laosan.
Suddenly, Zhou Laosan woke up and hissed.
Seeing that only Liu was present, he became furious.
He slapped Liu fiercely, "You bitch, why did I marry you? I, your man, have suffered so much, and you don't even know how to stand up to me and block the family law. Do you want to beat me to death and remarry later?"
Liu was small in stature and was defenseless.
The slap made her fall to the ground.
Seeing stars.
Liu said with tears in her eyes, "Boss, you shouldn't steal the family's money. Gambling is a bottomless pit..."
Zhou Laosan was unhappy with what he heard and slapped her again.
He took out all his anger on Liu.
***
Lin Shiqi used candy to coax the two children to sleep.
She said to Zhou Lang,
"How many people are jealous of you for spending Mrs. Zhou's thirty taels of silver!"
Zhou Lang asked, "Aren't there any such plots in Dayu's First Young Master?"
Lin Shiqi shook his head decisively, "No! He cured you to death immediately and exposed the fraudulent doctor. Zhou Laoer would not buy the magic pill, and Zhou Laosan would not know that Mrs. Zhou had hidden the silver and did not steal it..."
Zhou Lang pondered, "Then this is a good sign."
Lin Shiqi thought about it and said, "That's right, it means the plot has started to change. It may not develop according to the original plot. We cannon fodders also have a way to survive."
It has just disrupted the rhythm of the Zhou family.
But it's not a bad thing.
If the rhythm is disrupted, they can just make up for the losses suffered by the Zhou family.
Zhou Lang hummed.
Now, the two are like grasshoppers on the same rope, their thoughts are in sync, and sometimes they can know what the other is thinking with just a glance.
"Lend me some money."
Lin Shiqi was alert, "What? What do you want the money for?"
Zhou Lang said, "Let's go to the gambling house tonight."
"Ah?" Lin Shiqi suddenly remembered that although this dog Zhou Lang didn't know how to farm or do housework, he knew a lot of other acrobatics.
For example, music, chess, calligraphy, painting, shooting, martial arts, basketball, football, and all kinds of crooked gambling on cards and stones...
His education since childhood was different from others.
He basically has all the skills that require brainpower.
Lin Shiqi snorted twice.
She is not envious at all. What are these called?
In a remote place like the countryside, Zhou Lang getting those things is not doing his job properly!
Her food skills and life skills are the most important.
"Can you guarantee victory?" Lin Shiqi asked again.
“It’s a must.”
Lin Shiqi said, "Okay! I have seventy-five taels of silver in my hand, I'll give it to you as capital. When we go, we have to disguise ourselves. We showed up in the gambling house today. If we don't disguise ourselves, it will cause trouble for the Zhou family..."
"good."
People in the Zhou family get up where they fell.
Never suffer any loss.
The two of them returned to Lin Shiqi's home, and she took out the deposited silver as soon as possible.
Then she went to the storage room.
Her house has three bedrooms and two living rooms, a bedroom, a study, and a room used as a storage room.
The most valuable things in her house are all kept here.
She opened a cabinet and found some dried ginseng and dried Ganoderma lucidum inside.
She took out a small box.
Nowadays, these things are not expensive and are all artificially cultivated. Sometimes you need to add some of them when cooking.
The effect is certainly not as good as the wild ones in ancient times, but it cannot be said that there is no effect at all.
If you eat too much ginseng, you will still have nosebleeds and your scalp will feel numb.
Zhou Lang teased, "You're not that old, but you're doing so many things to maintain your health!"
Lin Shiqi rolled his eyes at him and said, "You may have forgotten that I'm a food blogger."
“You teach people how to make ginseng?”
"Why not? Don't you know about ginseng, pork tripe and chicken soup? Also, which video blogger doesn't promote products after accumulating fans? I just received an order for mountain products, and these are the samples sent to me..."
Zhou Lang said, "That's just right. You can't sell them in modern times. It's the same if you sell them in ancient times."
"There aren't many samples. Besides, these are all artificially bred in modern times. In ancient times, they certainly wouldn't be considered good quality..."
"No matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat. It's also real ginseng and real Ganoderma lucidum. I'll sell as many as I can!" Zhou Lang said.
"roll!"
It turns out it’s not his.
He wanted to let her sell her belongings and reap the benefits without any effort, but that was impossible.
***
The atmosphere in the Zhou family was depressing all day long.
Mrs. Zhou hadn't eaten for the whole day.
No matter how Lin Shiqi persuaded her, she refused to eat and had no appetite at all, which made her look pitiful.
He sighed for a while.
I no longer had the energy to curse. I lay on the bed, not knowing whether I was asleep or not, and silently shed tears.
This strong-willed old lady, who usually scolded anyone she met, suffered such blows one after another, and she was visibly wilted, like a cucumber hit by frost.
The second and third wives were both punished by the family rules, but there was no further movement.
Occasionally, there could be heard the voice of Zhou Laosan crying out in pain, asking Liu to find a doctor for him and give him medicine.
Neighbors next door also came to ask about the situation. Old man Zhou was sitting at the gate of the yard, smoking a pipe.
Always say it's okay.
He said that the silver in the house had been found, and it was Mrs. Zhou who had put it in the wrong place and was making a fuss about nothing.
As for beating your son?
If you want to fight, just fight.
Anyway, family disgrace should not be made public.
The villagers just listened for fun and then dispersed.
Lin Shiqi was worried that the plot would change and make Mrs. Zhou angry to death prematurely, so he took a few slices of dried ginseng, soaked them in water, and gave them to Mrs. Zhou, asking her to drink it a few times.
…
Lin Shiqi is now afraid that Mrs. Zhou will die.
In the book, Mrs. Zhou is the inner demon of the male protagonist Zhou Qinan. After Zhou Qinan destroyed the Zhou family, Mrs. Zhou was the last one to die. She was angered to death.
The book described that when Mrs. Zhou died, Zhou Qinan told her that he hated the Zhou family. He had been behind the scenes to fan the flames of everyone's fate. The person he hated the most was Mrs. Zhou. Mrs. Zhou didn't like the eldest wife, cursed her mother every day, and wanted to make him drop out of school several times, enslave his father, persecute his two younger brothers, etc...
