Chapter 125 Terrible
Zhulan couldn't help laughing out loud. Ever since Li howled and got angry last time, Zhou Shuren was not only a strict father. No one in the family was not afraid of him. It was obvious that the little boy was very noisy and wanted to run away when he saw his grandfather's gloomy face. But then she thought that Zhou Shuren was educating the eldest brother to temper Li's temper, all for her. Thinking of this, the tea tasted even better.
Li's intuition became more and more accurate. When the mistress of the household stayed in the main house, she knew that it was all over. She cleaned up the kitchen and ran back to the house, secretly taking Ming Teng to learn Chinese characters, so that she would not be punished if the mistress of the household came back to teach her and she could not remember all night. Woo woo, now she was forced to use her brain.
Zhulan was in a good mood all day, but after returning from the clan school a few times in the evening, her mood became unhappy.
Zhu Lan's face darkened. "Chang Lian, you said that you ran into the two sisters of the Wang family when you came back from school. The second daughter of the Wang family, Wang Rong, fell down and begged Chang Zhi to help her up? Did I hear that correctly?"
Chang Lian's face was not good either. "Mom heard it right. When we came back from school, Wang Erya fell down while walking. Her shoes were stuck in the snow. She sat there and couldn't get up. She said she twisted her foot and her eyes were fixed on Chang Zhi!"
Seeing this, he felt a chill in his heart, as if his brother was made of flesh and bones!
Zhulan immediately realized that Wang Ru was onto something. She really wanted to eliminate all the factors that made her uneasy before she could feel at ease. In the novel, all the Zhou family members except Zhou Laoer were cheated by Wang Ru. Although the novel did not mention the old son's achievement when the young lady was the heroine, Wang Ru was jealous and believed that the old son must have a good future.
Chang Lian looked at his father. He didn't say anything but kept looking at his mother. He silently withdrew his gaze. His mother was quite angry just now, why is she happy now? "Mom, are you not angry anymore?"
Zhulan felt better when she thought that as long as she could stop Wang Ru from cheating her old son, her old son would have no problem with the imperial examination. However, she couldn't say, "I'm angry. I'm so angry that I laughed. The Wang family is so shameless that they dare to cheat."
Chang Zhi was also furious. He was only twelve years old. The women in the Wang family were not normal in their brains. Even if they were normal and as beautiful as fairies, he could not have any contact with the women in the Wang family. Wang Ru from the Wang family was not a peaceful person. Although the Wang family sold sausages for a while, they later stopped selling them and only took a share of the formula. But after all, they were registered. Wang Ru had never registered a female household registration. The head of the household was Wang Laosi. Although he had not changed his business registration, he had some foundation. It was scary to think about it!
Changzhi felt wronged, "Mom, what does the Wang family mean by destroying me?"
His greatest wish was to pass the imperial examination. To ruin his future would be more hateful than killing him.
Zhulan's eyes were red when she saw her old son for the first time. This child was so absorbed in his books that he saw through the key point in an instant. He felt really wronged today. He waved his hand and said, "Wait for mother to vent your anger. The Wang family will suffer for their shamelessness."
Zhou Shuren felt that the old son in Zhulan's arms was annoying, so he silently pulled him over and touched his head, "You are so grown up, and you are still acting like a spoiled child with your mother."
Changzhi, "......."
No, Dad, which eye of yours saw him acting like a spoiled child? He was clearly very angry and aggrieved, okay?
Zhu Lan didn't look at Zhou Shuren and asked Chang Lian, "Were you the only ones who saw Wang Erya fall?"
Chang Lian narrowed his eyes, looking somewhat saccharine, "Today, many people came back with my sons. They are all brothers from the clan who came to copy books."
Zhulan was happy. On the street where the Zhou family lived, there were not many families who studied in the clan school. There were Zhulan's family and Zheng's family who studied in a private school. Another family was a scholar in the clan and no longer went to the clan school. Wang Ru thought that only Changzhi and a few others went to school. If it was only her family, she would have to think about how to handle it best. Unexpectedly, there were so many people that she didn't even have to do anything. The clan would make trouble for Wang Laosi's family.
However, is Wang Ru too confident? Isn't she afraid of Chang Lian's help? Then she thought again that Chang Lian looked smart, but he was selfish at heart and was not the type to help.
Wang Ru has been here for quite a while and has gotten to know some of the Zhou family's temperaments. Chang Zhi is not the only one who is ignorant of household affairs. Wang Ru thinks that Chang Zhi is only good at studying and not smart. He has no idea that etiquette, morality, integrity and shame must be learned. Chang Zhi is the person in the family who cares most about his reputation.
Wang Ru has been here for so long, but she still hasn't changed her modern thinking. In comparison, when she doesn't understand something, she never dares to say much, and always lets Zhou Shuren, who knows the rules, teach her until she doesn't make mistakes anymore. However, compared with Wang Ru, I really don't feel any sense of accomplishment. Wang Ru is too stupid!
Zhulan motioned for the children to go back. After they left, Zhulan said, "After the hotel, we will go to the clan leader's house. The clan leader must be waiting for us."
Zhou Shuren nodded with a quirk in his mouth, "Anyway, Wang Ru will never let go of plotting against our family, so we can just fight back. Don't think that we are easy to plot against. Let her know that our family is not easy to mess with, and it will also make her more cautious."
Zhulan, "Well, as for Wang Erya Wang Rong, whether it was intentional or she just listened to Wang Ru, she will be deceived by Wang Ru. I will explain Wang Ru's intentions to the clan leader's wife. If Wang Erya loses her reputation, it will be difficult for her to get married in the future. Those who should hate should understand."
Zhou Shuren reached out and pinched Zhulan, "I'll listen to you."
After dinner, Zhulan and Zhou Shuren waited for a while, and estimated that the clan leader had finished his meal, so they went to the clan leader's house carrying two taels of tea.
Patriarch Zhou's family had just finished dinner. As soon as he saw Zhulan and the others, he knew the purpose of their visit. After learning more about them, he deeply understood that Zhou Shuren was not easy to mess with and had a black heart. If you didn't step on Zhou Shuren's bottom line, Zhou Shuren would not kill you. But if you really stepped on it, he would definitely be a ruthless person.
Chief Zhou knocked on his cigarette holder. He had been waiting for the couple to come. Not only were they angry, he was even more angry. "I've heard about Changzhi's matter. This is not only a matter for your family, but also a major matter for the clan. Wait until the old woman changes her clothes, and then we'll go over."
When Zhulan came to the clan leader's house, she knew needless to say that the clan leader would definitely help Changzhi to succeed. Changzhi was a good seedling. For Zhou, who was only a scholar, a child with great potential was of great significance. If one person succeeded, the whole family would benefit. People who had the hope of succeeding were very important.
Zhulan couldn't help but think of the plot of the novel. In the novel, the Zhou family did not return to the clan, and Changzhi did not go to the clan school. The clan did not know how much potential Changzhi had, so Changzhi was plotted against and had no help. But then Zhulan and Zhou Shuren came, and Changzhi was admitted to the clan school. After being tested and affirmed by several scholars in the clan, the clan attached great importance to him and would not allow Changzhi to be framed for fraud. Changzhi was hope.
