The next morning, three guests came to the Zhou family, just as Zhou Xiang expected.
"Third uncle and third aunt."
She greeted Zhou Ming and Xia Cuilan indifferently, and ignored Zhou Kai.
Xia Cuilan said enthusiastically, "Oh! Think about it! Why didn't you invite us to your wedding?"
"There's no need to stay still all year round!"
Xia Cuilan choked and quickly changed the subject, "I heard your grandfather's belongings appeared?"
Zhou Xiang scoffed, "Who told you that? Find him here, I want to ask him if he can speak."
Xia Cuilan was choked again and her expression became a little unsettled.
Zhou Ming became impatient and stood up and called to his second brother outside, "Second brother, come here."
Father Zhou walked into the living room. "What are you doing? What are you making such a fuss about? This is my home, and I'm your brother. Watch your tone, or I'll kick you out. Don't say I don't give you face."
Zhou Ming was choked, his face flushed with anger, "Second brother, I don't care about coming here. I just came to ask about Dad's belongings."
"Who told you that? Did you not hear it all, or did that person not tell you the whole story? Or was he deliberately trying to sow discord between you? I'm telling you, go out and ask around now. If you don't get the full story, you have no right to talk to me. If you want the most comprehensive answer, go straight out the door and turn right to Auntie Wang's house by the river. She'll tell you the most clearly."
Before the family of three could even warm up their stools, Zhou's father called Xu Tong to chase them out of the house, and also ordered the four dogs not to let strangers in, as strangers were not welcome in the house recently.
Xia Cuilan glared at her husband angrily, "That's your mouth! You offend people the moment you open it. Is this the same Second Brother you used to be? Who in the entire county doesn't respect the Zhou family in Xuzhen?"
Zhou Kai was getting impatient. "Mom, stop nagging me. Go find out quickly. If I can get a share of the gold and silver, that's great. If not, tell Zhou Xiang to arrange an easy job for me."
"Kaikai, are you really not going to school?"
"Oh! You're so annoying. You've asked me so many times. I won't go on. I can't listen and I can't sit still."
"Okay, okay, no, we'll go and find out right away."
The weather was hot and the family of three didn't want to go far, so they went to ask at the house by the river. When Aunt Wang heard that they were asking about the Zhou family, and then looked at Zhou Ming's appearance, she knew there was nothing she didn't understand. This family should be the third son of the Zhou family who lived in the county town.
She vividly recounted the events of that day, including the tears Zhou Xiang shed unconsciously. "How miserable! Zhou Xiang suffered the most. He saved the entire Zhou family, but it was a shame that Ye Xiu was unknowingly used by her enemies and found the stolen goods Zhou Xiang had tried so hard to hide."
Xia Cuilan asked anxiously, "Where is the stolen goods? How much is there?"
Aunt Wang scoffed at her, "Are you deaf? Zhou Xiang said she used up all the stolen goods to make the powder. Besides, if the Kong family doesn't want to take the stolen goods back, they're willing to give them to Zhou Xiang. What does this have to do with Ye Xiu? And what does this have to do with the third brother who hasn't been around for over a decade? They're all shameless people. Zhou Xiang saved a bunch of ungrateful people."
Humph! Perhaps once these two families show up with the gifts, they will be destroyed by the Kong family. They are a proud and ancient family. Giving the gifts to Zhou Xiang is an honor, but if an ordinary person takes them, it would be a disgrace to their reputation."
After the family of three left, Aunt Wang spat at them and said they were nothing.
Zhou Kai's eyes sparkled. "Mom, you asked Zhou Xiang to teach me how to make medicine. With the medicine powder, there's nothing I can't get."
Upon hearing this, Xia Cuilan immediately raised her head. "That's right! With the powder, if anyone wants the antidote, the asking price will be hundreds of millions!"
"Okay, we don't need that thing anymore. Let her teach you how to make medicine. Learning a craft is a lifelong endeavor."
Hearing the dogs barking, Zhou wanted to ask Ling Ran to let the people in. It must be his third uncle's family.
Xia Cuilan entered the yard and felt the coolness. She looked up at the sky and saw a green net covering the yard. No wonder it was so cool! This luxury, when Kaikai could also earn money, she could also squander it.
Zhou Ming didn't want to talk at all. After hearing what happened, he was filled with anger. He was angry that the old man had told the old family about the property and was planning to leave it all to them.
Xia Cuilan was urged by Zhou Kai to speak, "Think about it, your cousin said he wants to learn pharmaceutical science from you, so why don't you teach him!"
Studying pharmacy? Are you planning to use the powder to rob people? A 14 or 15-year-old kid shouldn't go to school?
"He doesn't study anymore?"
"I won't read it anymore. I can't understand it."
"So, he didn't even graduate from junior high school?"
"I've graduated, and the school agreed to give me a junior high school diploma."
"To study pharmacy, at least a college student can understand the formula. He mixed the antidote into poison and killed someone. He must pay with his life."
Xia Cuilan was frightened and retreated. Yes! If someone died, Kaikai would be finished.
Zhou Kai didn't care. "The Kong family isn't afraid of losing lives. They even dared to drug the leaders of Beijing. You, a medal winner, are even less afraid. I'm your cousin, and others have to give you face."
Fuck, she filtered out all the people who might do evil, even educated her healthy self, but she forgot about this closest and most lawless immediate relative.
This is a gangster who was imprisoned early. It seems that after graduating from junior high school, he entered society and learned to be even worse than others.
No, I must stop him from entering society so early, and I must also teach him a lesson. Third Aunt has spoiled him too much.
"Okay! You can study pharmacy, but there are conditions."
"you say."
"This medicine is not an ordinary medicine. It needs to be combined with internal force. Otherwise, how can the Kong family and I know it?"
When Zhou Kai heard about internal force, he immediately became excited. "I, I want to learn, I want to learn. Zhou Xiang, do you also have internal force?"
Zhou wanted to stand up, walked to an empty three-seater sofa, and picked it up with one hand. "Seeing is believing, hearing is deceiving. It took me ten years of practice to achieve a small degree of success before I could make the medicinal powder. You are only 15 years old now, and your bones are not yet stable. It's a perfect time to practice. If you wait another two years, haha, you won't be able to learn any magical skills."
She put down the sofa and sat back next to Ling Ran. Ling Ran held his wife's hand and tried to hold back his laughter. He understood why his wife had deceived Zhou Kai. As soon as this man entered the society, he immediately became a black man.
"Ten years?" Zhou Kai was a little discouraged.
Zhou Xiang continued to deceive him, "What do you think? They train hard in the coldest days of winter and the hottest days of summer. Those people on TV who can jump over rooftops and walk on walls have been doing it since they were three years old. After they became famous, they became people admired by everyone.
Ten years later, you will be 25 years old, in the prime of your life. When you have mastered your skills, you will be followed by a group of followers. How cool will that be? "
Zhou Kai gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! I'll practice."
Zhou Xiang smiled. "Only if there are conditions. Otherwise, there are so many children younger than you in Zhoujia Village. Why should I teach you, whose bones are about to be formed?"
Zhou Kai was already bewitched by the cool appearance of the future, with a group of younger followers following behind him. He nodded repeatedly, "Yes, you're right. What are the conditions? Tell me!"
"For the first few years, especially the first three, Third Uncle and Third Aunt can't come to disturb you, because these three years are a critical period. Your bones must be strengthened. Otherwise, don't even think about achieving minor success, let alone major success."
