When Liu heard the Marquis mention the household affairs, she was furious. "It's because the household accounts are difficult to balance. Otherwise, why would I be interested in the melons and dates in Yue girl's hand?"
Marquis Cheng'en looked at his wife who was so angry that he became even more angry!
"Who can you blame? Have you forgotten that when you were in charge, I was the one who put money in every month to barely make ends meet? After all the effort, the eldest son's wife took over the management, and now you and the third son are jumping around again. Just bear with it!"
When Liu heard the Marquis say this, she recalled her long-forgotten memories and was stunned for a moment.
Liu was silent for a moment, then her tears began to flow even harder. She sobbed softly, "Doesn't that mean I've harmed the Third Brother? Why didn't the Marquis warn me? Can you please return the household expenses to the First Brother's wife?"
Marquis Cheng'en rolled his eyes at Liu. "What are you thinking? Is the power of the housekeeper a joke? Or is the guarantee you wrote and the seal you stamped on me a joke? I just want you and the third brother to understand that sometimes people are not smart and have to obey."
Sometimes, Marquis Cheng'en was truly helpless. Parents who love their children should consider the future even more. His wife and the third son were only concerned with the immediate present.
He just didn't understand, if he offended the eldest and second brother, what good would it do to the third brother? The third brother was not a capable person.
Thinking about how much money she had to spend, Liu cried even harder, "That's our lucky child! How could you be so cruel, Lord Marquis?"
Seeing his wife like this, Marquis Cheng'en's eyes flashed with a trace of heartache, but he still hardened his heart and scolded with gritted teeth:
"Actually, it wasn't me who was cruel, it was you, Madam. You were so partial to the third brother, regardless of everything. You did whatever the third brother urged you to do. When we're gone and his two brothers ignore him, do you think his life will be easier?"
You never thought about what would happen to the Third Brother's family in the future? The Third Brother himself was a loser, unskilled in both literature and martial arts, and he was also actively trying to offend his future backers. And yet you were still jumping around, afraid that the Third Brother would not be able to do anything.
Those who know you favor the third child, but those who don't would think you are the third child's enemy! What mother would betray her son like you? "
Marquis Cheng'en rarely said such harsh words to his wife. He and Liu had been married for so many years and had supported each other for so many years. It was no exaggeration to say that their friendship was deep.
At that time, they were not yet a marquisate, and the two of them supported each other to move forward, and Liu was not confused. It was just that the third child was weaker when he was born, and he and his wife were worried that they would not be able to raise him, so they inevitably showed some favoritism.
Over the years, he has become so partial to others that it's almost as if his heart has really grown crooked. He can still control himself, but his wife can't control herself at all, and the third brother is becoming more and more arrogant.
Marquis Cheng'en understood that if this continued, something really bad would happen. The eldest and second sons had seen the two of them being partial to each other since they were young, and they might not be without guard against the old couple.
Moreover, the eldest and second in command are not easy to deal with and are cruel.
He could imagine what would happen to the third brother if he and his wife had any inappropriate thoughts about him.
Liu looked up at Marquis Cheng'en in disbelief, "Is that how you see me?"
Marquis Cheng'en nodded with a hard heart and continued to stab him: "It doesn't matter what I think of you, what matters is that you actually did it.
For example, what happened today? Did I tell you? I told you right away! But you insisted on making a scene. Did you hear the third brother yelling outside? He asked you to save him, but did you? If you went out, he would only get beaten worse.
How long has it been since the boss took action? Why did you have to provoke him?
For the first time, Liu realized that in the eyes of the Marquis, she was such a person. She had always thought that the Marquis thought the same as she did, "Marquis, I... I..."
Marquis Cheng'en held his wife's hand and gently advised, "It's okay if he was wrong. Let's not do this again. You should also persuade the third brother and the other two. After all, he is incompetent.
In this world, even capable people have to be humble, let alone those without abilities."
Although Liu was confused now, she had one advantage: she could listen to her husband's words. "I will listen to the Marquis."
"It would be better if you really listened." Marquis Cheng'en sighed and said nothing more.
After all, he felt very uncomfortable when he heard the third brother's screams and pleas for mercy outside, and he was not in the mood to teach his wife.
Unlike the Cheng Enhou couple who were worried and uncomfortable in the house, Zhou Wenjun and Zhou Qiongyue who were watching the excitement outside were very excited.
Even Jin and Zhao from the next room came out to watch the fun at the door, with no intention of going up to stop it.
"Second Uncle, Third Uncle won't be beaten to death, right?" Zhou Qiongyue was definitely not worried about Third Uncle. She was worried that her father would end up in a bad situation.
Zhou Wenjun watched, watching the fun but still worried about his eldest brother's niece, and countless envy rose in his heart, "Daughters are still caring! Why doesn't he have a daughter! Even someone like the third brother can have a daughter, God is so unfair."
God: Is this my fault?
Zhou Wenjun's mind was in a mess, but it didn't affect his calm expression as he comforted his niece. "Don't worry! Big Brother has experience."
When Zhou Qiongyue heard her second uncle's explanation, her eyes turned even more fiery as she looked at her father. She had always thought her father was too good-tempered, even a little silly, and she was really worried.
Now it seems that she is the only one who is naive.
Zhou Wencan did have some sense of propriety, but when he stopped, Zhou Wenfu had already curled up on the ground with his head in his hands, curled up into a ball.
At this time, Zhou Wencan, who had just finished beating someone, felt refreshed, and the depression in his heart had dissipated a lot.
Zhou Wenfu, who had been beaten, felt like he was nearly dead. There was no part of his body that didn't hurt. If you asked him if he hated his elder brother, he really didn't. He knew he wasn't smart, and if he acted on his own, his elder brother would at most give him a beating, and his life would still be safe.
If he hated his elder brother and his elder brother accidentally found out, his life would probably be over. Who wouldn't be afraid of death?
In fact, Zhou Wenfu's injury was not that bad. It just looked a little serious and painful, but they were all superficial injuries.
Zhou Wencan really knew how to control his beatings when beating his brother. He even consulted with the imperial physician to learn which parts of the body would hurt and which parts would be more likely to cause trouble.
When Zhou Wencan beats his brother now, he will definitely hit a place that is painful and not prone to injury.
Sun, who was kneeling beside him, curled up into a ball, fearing that her eldest brother would be unhappy and beat her up.
Moreover, her eldest brother had been beating her husband for such a long time, and she had not seen her mother-in-law and father-in-law come out to stop him. She knew that her husband was being beaten in vain. This made Sun even more frightened.
Zhou Wencan and Zhou Qiongyue are indeed father and daughter. After beating someone up, he didn't forget to put the blame on his brother, "Next time you dare to make mother faint, I won't be as easy to talk to as I was today."
Zhou Wenfu... "I won't dare to do it again."
He had no other choice but to admit his mistake decisively.
