Zhang Guoqing understood her implication and nodded in agreement. A well-known figure on the board was even more despicable than a lackey. He would expose the truth directly and see who dared to intervene.
"The lower classes follow suit, using a feather as a token of authority. For their own selfish interests, they blatantly persecute some people under various pretexts. These people are truly insane, and their behavior is truly unsightly."
"This is the imperial city. They can easily find excuses to accuse someone of something. Even in remote areas, the local tyrants can do whatever they want."
Under the light, looking at her bright eyes and the sneering pout on her lips, she really didn't hide her expression in front of him.
Zhang Guoqing touched her head with amusement and said, "Silly wife, this is not like you." Not only did her behavior become more relaxed, but her mentality also began to change.
The young wife who cut her long hair looked younger and more tender with short hair. Zhang Guoqing secretly wondered if he should learn how to take care of himself, otherwise the image of an old man and a young wife would be too eye-catching.
"Hot-blooded?" Zhou Jiao shook her head and chuckled. She was also a common person, and often didn't dare to raise any objections on the spot, fearing that if she wasn't careful, she would be identified as an accomplice.
She is not without any worries in this world. She has parents, a lover, and a son. She dare not put her loved ones in trouble because of her momentary impulse.
Even if they acted secretly, they would still worry about being exposed. No wonder everyone was worried about themselves these days. In this chaotic situation, being able to keep one's family safe was already the limit.
"You've done a great job." Yes, Zhang Guoqing felt that this was not an exaggeration. His wife had not only been amassing wealth these days, she had also spent most of it.
At this moment, he didn't want those unpleasant things to affect his wife's mood, and he was especially worried that she would recall those bad scenes. Who wouldn't feel heavy-hearted when seeing a good person being beaten to a bloody pulp by a group of people for a trumped-up crime?
After praising him, he pretended to be a money-grubber and said, "Once the situation stabilizes, we'll take some time off and go on a long trip. A few thousand a night, wow, how can you make money faster than this?"
Zhou Jiao laughed. She knew he was joking, but she agreed. Everyone gets a share of ill-gotten gains, so why not leave it to her so she can use it for charity in the future?
In the hands of those people, waiting for them to be defeated, and then passing it on to their descendants?
Although she did not agree with the saying that a hero's son makes a good son, she also felt that there was some truth in the saying that a dragon gives birth to a dragon, a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and a mouse's son will dig holes.
Look at the current environment. Has the deepest malice in human nature been aroused?
Speaking of descendants, Zhou Jiao missed her son. She asked worriedly, "You said Ping'an has been in school for so long. Should we send a telegram to ask them to come back first?"
"Just the little knowledge they gained in school?" Zhang Guoqing shook his head dismissively. "Spring is here, so we should let them stay in the southwest for a while longer."
"There are many mountains over there. I've asked Brother Chen and the others to take Ping An to collect herbs and hunt when they have time. If the old lady plans to stay for a while, I'd like your master to take Ping An for a walk when he returns."
Seeing her silence, Zhang Guoqing explained, "With our son's intelligence, let alone Ping'an's attendance, even Liuyi and his brother can understand his brother's books, so their studies won't be affected."
Zhou Jiao smiled and nodded. She wasn't worried about that. The school curriculum was limited. Besides Chinese, math, and English, it also covered basic industrial and agricultural knowledge.
Let's not talk about the few words in the Chinese textbook that reflect the times. The math textbook questions involve calculations: what happened to the landlords before liberation? How much land did they exploit?
And the simple 26 letters of the alphabet and the chants in the English textbook are really simple. The basic industrial and agricultural knowledge is quite practical, and covers some physics and chemistry.
However, considering Ping An's foundation, she wasn't worried. "Go ahead and have fun, if you want to," she said. "There's still time for them to wait until the three brothers go to college."
Unlike their idea, when the Qingming Festival came, the three Ping'an brothers followed Cheng back first. Their parents said on the phone that they could stay longer, but they were more worried about something happening at home.
Not only in the capital, they also witnessed real fighting in the southwest region. Once, they could even hear the sound of cannons in the suburbs. How can you explain the word "chaos"?
The Zhou family immediately became lively with the arrival of the three children, which made Miao Lishan sigh that children were the key to a family's success, otherwise she would always feel like something was missing after coming home from work.
Yes, Ping'an and his friends were gone for a few months, and when they came back they kept talking to their elders. What they saw and heard along the way was particularly wonderful in the children's voices.
On the way back, Ping'an had already told his younger brothers not to tell the women in the family about what happened outside. They were little men and had to protect their grandmother and mother.
Especially their mothers, who are timid and cannot be scared!
The children were busy entertaining their parents with colorful clothes, and tried to avoid the hustle and bustle outside. Their topics revolved around weddings, local customs, food and entertainment.
Zhou Jiao cooperated well, smiling and agreeing with a few words. She did not interrupt the children's little thoughts, and even deliberately made time and space for these little men and big men to discuss in the study.
She didn't ask for much from her sons. She just wanted them to grow up safely and securely. When they had enough abilities, she would protect them and give them the sky to soar.
When the eaglets grow up a little, the eagle will break their wings and then push them off the cliff. Some eaglets die from the fall.
To survive, the young eagle flapped its wings desperately. But it always flew a short distance before falling into the mountain stream. The old eagle would catch it and practice again. In this way, after enduring a lot of hardship, the young eagle finally learned to fly freely.
She would not use such cruel methods of education, nor did she expect her children to become successful. As long as the children wanted something, she would try her best to give it to them within the conditions.
She will not impose her own joys, sorrows, anger, or ideals on her children. Their future is theirs.
She has seen many times that parents use the grace of raising their children to demand that their children do and be this way... Little do they know that one honey to me may be poison to others.
Zhou Jiao took her mother's arm and went to the kitchen to welcome the children.
The mother and daughter spoke softly. Miao Lishan talked about the rumors spread by colleagues and subordinates. They had more or less heard about what was happening in the outside world.
"The little ones deliberately avoided these topics, so don't ask. Our three darlings are willing to tell their grandfather and their father because they are worried about us. Don't blame the children later."
Zhou Jiao laughed happily and nodded repeatedly.
Although her mother was an incompetent mother, she had one particularly good point: she was not like the mothers nowadays who were self-righteous and talkative.
She will respect the children.
This advantage is enough to make up for all her shortcomings.
No one is perfect, and no gold is flawless, that's enough. Zhou Jiao was particularly annoyed by the mothers of the young sisters in the compound who interfered in everything from work to marriage to childbirth.
