Chapter 17: Which man washes dishes and pots?
We didn’t even go on this precious study tour organized by the county. Wasn’t it because Mrs. Zhou was unwilling to spend the money?
And he was still speaking in Mrs. Zhou's favor! Her son was indeed such a man of integrity and good character.
After hearing what Zhou Qinan said, Mrs. Zhou also began to like her eldest grandson a lot more.
He then instructed Zhou Laosan, "You have many connections outside and many bad friends. Go and find out the situation carefully and come back to tell me."
Zhou Laosan naturally agreed.
"Okay, mom!"
Lin Shiqi had no right to express her opinion. Mrs. Zhou said he could be cured, and he was her husband. If she said he couldn't be cured, it would arouse suspicion.
She could only be grateful.
"That's great. My husband may have a chance of getting better. Thank you, mother. You are the best. Thank you also to Qinan. If it weren't for Qinan's well-informed information, how would we in the village know that there is a miracle doctor outside? Qinan, you also care about your fourth uncle in your heart. If your fourth uncle really gets better in the future, I will make him thank you..."
The smile on Zhou Qinan's face froze for half a second.
Soon it was full again. "Aunt Fourth is too formal. We are all family. We shouldn't talk behind each other's backs."
"Qinan is indeed an educated man with great knowledge. Regardless of whether he can be cured or not, I would like to thank you on behalf of your fourth uncle."
…
After dinner, Wang wanted to go out for a walk as she did before, but was stopped by Mrs. Zhou and asked to wash the dishes and pots.
"For Qinan's sake, I asked you to come to the table for dinner today, and you still want to shirk your responsibilities? From now on, even if a god comes, you will have to do the work that's yours! We in the Zhou family don't support lazy women. If you have the ability, go eat at other people's houses and get the genealogy of that lady from other houses."
Wang looked aggrieved and pretended to be weak.
Zhou Qinan said softly, "Grandma, my mother is really not feeling well today. Let me do it for her..."
Mrs. Zhou snorted coldly, "You are her daughter, so you can do the work for her. Anyway, the work is assigned to your first wife, and you can't always let the second wife suffer."
"Grandma is right. There is no order without rules. It's as it should be." Zhou Qinan smiled, rolled up his sleeves and was about to do his work.
Wang felt sorry for her son.
Which man washes dishes and pots?
Besides, her son is a scholar, and scholars cannot do such rough work, they are very delicate.
She would just have to do it herself.
…
Then Lin Shiqi and his wife returned to their house.
Lin Shiqi reminded, "Four Si Si! Your good nephew has been plotting against you in advance, and you are going to die early. In the book, it was this genius doctor named Gong who cured you to death."
Zhou Lang was not panicked at all, "That's perfect! Let's take advantage of their trick."
Lin Shiqi also laughed.
"Are you waiting for this opportunity? As long as the miracle doctor dares to come to the Zhou family, you will immediately perform a stupid disease cure for him on the spot?"
“That’s a must.”
Zhou Qinan planned against them in advance because of Wang's complaint.
Mrs. Zhou didn't want to give her money to the first wife, but wanted to spend it on Zhou Sisha. Then she should kill Zhou Sisha. Without Zhou Sisha as a big expense, the family's money could be used to spend on the first wife. After all, the first wife had the only scholar in the Zhou family.
Reading costs a lot of money.
This is a strategy to remove the firewood from under the cauldron!
"Since we can't go back, we can only live here. It's not a long-term solution for you to stay like this. It just so happens that he found a miracle doctor for you. Let's cooperate with them to cure your illness. After that, it will be much more convenient for you to do anything. After all, this is ancient times. There are many things that women can't show up in public. We need men."
Lin Shiqi is now on the same page with Zhou Lang, and what he said was all from the bottom of his heart.
Zhou Lang nodded, "Yeah, I think so too."
Lin Shiqi added, "When you are cured, we will make money first. Without money, we will be restricted everywhere."
Whether in modern times or in ancient times, money is very important.
If you have money in your hands, you won't be worried.
No matter what others do, live your own life well first.
In the face of adversity, keep a calm mind, act according to circumstances, and go with the flow.
The two of them didn't do Pinduoduo at night.
There's no point in trying to get there, at most you can get some food. They haven't finished the snacks they got yesterday, so they have to be frugal.
I would like to have a longer interval, save more energy, and try again to see if I can stay a little longer.
Lin Shiqi wanted to go home and fry a steak. Really, he wanted to do that even in his dreams.
***
In the first room, Wang kept complaining, "Da Lang is too kind-hearted! When people bullied us, he still found a miracle doctor for the fourth room. I really don't know what to say..."
Boss Zhou's ears are callused from listening so much.
"Just shut up. Your son is a scholar with a clear conscience. What do you, a woman, know? Just listen to your son."
Zhou Erlang and Zhou Sanlang all showed great respect to the eldest brother.
Their eldest brother is so nice.
Repay evil with kindness.
Excellent character.
***
In the second room.
Zhou Laoer and his wife waited until their two daughters fell asleep.
The two of them "exercised" very hard.
Every position they used was for the purpose of getting pregnant. After they were done, Zhou Laoer did not come out and lay on top of Ruan.
They are an old married couple and no longer have the passion of newlyweds for this kind of thing.
All for the sake of having a son, I worked hard every night.
"Daya's father, mother said to invite a miracle doctor to treat our fourth brother's illness. I wonder if this miracle doctor can also treat us and give birth to a son." Ruan said softly.
Zhou Laoer replied in a muffled voice, "This is not a disease, this is fate..."
"Destiny can be changed. Just think of a way and try it. It's always a way."
"Okay. I'll ask around."
***
In the third room.
Liu has always had a light sleep and has trouble falling asleep. He would think about many things before going to bed.
The son and daughter were both taken care of and were leaning on the bed, waiting for Zhou Laosan.
After lunch, Zhou Laosan went out to inquire about the miracle doctor.
Hasn't come back yet.
Late at night, the sound of a door opening was heard outside.
Liu hurried out to greet him.
Zhou Laosan came in with the night breeze, looking a little drunk.
The smell of alcohol sprayed all over Liu's face.
Liu shuddered subconsciously and then helped him into the house.
"Boss, mother asked you to go find out about the miracle doctor, why did you come back drunk like this?"
Zhou Laosan chuckled, "What do you women know? Going out to gather information is just for socializing, and socializing doesn't require inviting brothers to drink a little wine. Whose information just dropped from the sky for no reason? Only when the relationship is deep, people will tell you the truth."
Liu was helpless. Zhou Laosan had drunk a little too much and reeked of alcohol. If he went to bed like this, the child would be drunk.
She went to the kitchen to boil some hot water for Zhou Laosan to wash up.
Zhou Laosan has fallen asleep.
She shook him awake, "Have you heard the news? Is there really such a miracle doctor?"
Zhou Laosan laughed happily, "Of course I understand. Which of the tasks my mother asked me to do, have I not completed? The miracle doctor surnamed Gong is really amazing. He is said to be able to cure all diseases. There is also important news. He is said to come to our Longquan Town in the next two days to perform medical treatment and save lives. I have asked my brothers to keep an eye on him for me. When he comes, let me know and I will definitely invite the miracle doctor over..."
