He picked and chose, and told her how Mr. Zhou and the Yangs had helped him over the years. Of course, he didn't dare to tell her about his own situation and make Zhang Xingrong worry and upset.
The Yangs were very confused: "Rong Ya can also treat illnesses?"
"I know the basics. Let me help you!" Zhang Xingrong examined them. The couple didn't have any serious illnesses, just some minor ailments that would be cured with some medicine and some rest.
The Yangs were delighted to hear this. Good health is, of course, a good thing.
After the two of them finished their examination, they accompanied Zhang Xingrong to Zhou's home next door.
But Mr. Zhou was rather indifferent: "No, I'm in good health."
"Mr. Zhou, you are in poor health, so let her take a look!" The Yang couple tried to persuade him, but Mr. Zhou looked down on Zhang Xingrong and didn't want her help.
Zhang Xingrong packed up and wanted to leave, but thinking of her uncle's instructions and the old man's help over the years, she decided to stay and persuade him: "Mr. Zhou, the reason you disdain me is because I'm trying to please Liu Qing, right?"
She remembered that when she first went to see Mr. Zhou, he was quite enthusiastic. But after she warmly greeted Liu Qing, his attitude changed.
"Hmph." Old Zhou snorted, but did not deny it.
The Yang couple was a little confused, obviously not understanding why Zhang Xingrong suddenly said that. They wanted to say a few words to help Mr. Zhou, but were stopped by Zhang Xingrong.
Zhang Xingrong knew that her guess was correct. In fact, she didn't need to explain, but the old man had a good relationship with her uncle after all: "Mr. Zhou, Liu Qing is not a good person, but he is now in charge of your decentralized area, so he can take advantage of it."
"You don't know how he treated your uncle before, right? Your uncle was tortured a lot by him, and you still have the nerve to please him!" Old Zhou snorted coldly. People in the relocated areas had an hard time under Liu Qing, and Jin Haiwen had the hardest time among them.
As Jin Haiwen's niece, Zhang Xingrong did not stand on her uncle's side, but instead tried to please Liu Qing. What kind of niece is she?
"I know." Zhang Xingrong felt bad when she thought about her uncle's life over the years. "But for my uncle, I'm willing to please him. In this world, we will always meet all kinds of people. I can't isolate myself from them. But these people of all kinds can be used. Gou Jian was able to work like a slave to conquer Wu, so what's wrong with me trying to please him?"
Mr. Zhou was stunned for a moment before he said, "You actually know about Gou Jian's conquest of Wu."
"I've read a little bit, and I know about it. I also know about Han Xin's humiliation under his crotch." Those who didn't read that time really didn't know what the story was about, but people in later generations have read, and with the help of the internet, everyone understands. "My uncle is in poor health. If he doesn't take medicine, he might die soon. If currying favor with Liu Qing can make him feel better, why shouldn't I do it?"
People like Liu Qing are actually quite superficial and easy to deal with. If you were to replace him with someone who is smiling but hiding a knife, that would be more troublesome.
Mr. Zhou was stunned for a long time without saying anything, thinking about what Zhang Xingrong said.
The Yang couple looked at each other. They had never expected that a little girl like Zhang Xingrong could be more insightful than them! She could even understand the principle of sleeping on straw and tasting gall. How could they, who were well-read, be considered stupid?
"Mr. Zhou, I think what Miss Rong said is very right. In fact, we have no right to say anything about what she did for her uncle."
Old Zhou also knew this. He felt sorry for Jin Haiwen because he was so pitiful. Now it seemed that he had misunderstood him. After a while, he sighed and said, "I'm meddling in other people's business. You're right. I'm a piece of shit. I can't think straight."
