Chapter 169: Ruthless

Li felt a chill on her back, and she felt something was not right. She stole a glance at her mother and guessed, "Wang Laosi said that if she could inherit, Wang Ru would have to give the Wang family 20 taels of silver every month. My goodness, 20 taels a month, 240 taels a year. Wang Ru is too rich."

Zhao interrupted, "Wang Ru didn't agree, sister-in-law, just tell me the result!"

The more she gets to know her mother, the more she knows that her mother doesn't like to listen to nonsense!

Li didn't dare to confront Zhao, as she had just offended her mother. "Wang Ru gave 200 taels of silver in one go, and also gave Sun a set of gold jewelry. Wang Lao Si agreed, and Wang Ru moved to the Qian family, waiting for Wang Ru's new house to be built before moving out."

Zhu Lan said coldly: "Wang Ru is so cruel!"

Li didn't understand, "Mom, why is Wang Ru so cruel?"

Obviously, she was given a large sum of money, yes, and gold jewelry, but she didn't use any of the gold jewelry. Now Sun is going to show off to the whole village again!

Zhao had experienced natural disasters and escaped. She understood the horror of human nature too well. Her heart ached. "Wang Ru has severed ties with Wang Laosi's family. Wang Laosi's family no longer has the support of Master Shi and has been expelled from the family. The thieves in the neighborhood will definitely patronize Wang Laosi's family. Wang Ru gave 200 taels of silver in front of everyone. How many families in the village can save 100 taels of silver? This money is in trouble!"

Li understood, "Wang Ru is too vicious."

Seeing that Li had grown up, Zhulan threatened her again, "You should be more careful in the future and don't believe everything others say. People's hearts are hidden in their stomachs. Who knows if they are plotting against you? Don't be harmed by others without knowing it."

Li had long realized that she was not a smart person. This time, she was really scared. How could a little kid be so cruel? She shrank back and said, "Mom, I'll remember this."

Zhu Lan was satisfied, and then said quietly, "I'm just afraid that someone is not just stealing money."

Mrs. Zhao was nervous. "I'm afraid someone will take advantage of me. I've been raising the eldest daughter of the Wang family for almost a year. She has grown up. Although she's not pretty, she looks pretty good after dressing up. If someone takes advantage of her, it will ruin my life."

Li was terrified. There was a girl in her hometown who was taken advantage of by a scoundrel. The scoundrel came to her house and made a lot of noise. For the sake of the girl, this family was cruel and drowned her in the river. She was only six years old at the time and had nightmares for a long time, "Wang Ru wanted to kill her two sisters for himself."

Zhulan felt ashamed of Wang Ru, who was too selfish and cruel.

At noon, Zhou Shuren came back. Not only did he buy a gift, he also brought back a bundle. Zhulan was very curious, "What's in it?"

Zhou Shuren flattered, "Guess."

Zhulan looked at the shape of the bundle carefully, "Clothes?"

Zhou Shuren knew that he couldn't hide it from Zhulan, so he quickly opened his bag and said, "Aren't you going with me on this visit? I passed by the clothing store and saw this suit at first sight. I thought it would suit you, so I bought it. Why don't you try it on?"

Zhulan looked at the dark blue dress. The pattern was embroidered with yellow thread, which served as a finishing touch. The dress didn't look so dull. Zhulan liked it at first sight and said, "I'll put it on and show you."

Zhou Shuren sat outside waiting, his eyes looking expectantly at the bedroom door. Less than two minutes later, Zhulan came out of the house. Zhou Shuren's eyes were full of surprise. He had long discovered that Zhulan was particularly suitable for the color blue, but he didn't expect her to be so suitable. Staring at Zhulan's face, he found that Zhulan had been raised for almost a year and she was getting younger and younger, especially after the cow at home gave birth to milk. Not only did she wash her face with milk every day, but she also took a milk bath every now and then. Her skin was very smooth.

He still remembered that when he first came through, Zhulan's face was sallow, her hair was dry, and her skin was very rough. She didn't look like she was 36 years old, but more like she was in her 40s.

Zhulan now has smooth hair, smooth skin, and a layer of powder making her look like a woman in her early thirties. The change is really great. If it weren't for Wang Ru, Zhulan would have to disguise herself every day. Zhulan would have been famous in the village a long time ago.

Zhulan felt embarrassed when Zhou Shuren looked at her. His gaze was too scorching. "Are you going to stop staring at me?"

Zhou Shuren smiled and said, "I can't see enough in my lifetime."

Zhulan turned around with a suppressed smile, "How is it? Does it look good?"

Zhou Shuren's eyes were filled with admiration. "It looks great. This dress looks like it was made especially for you."

Zhulan had prepared clothes for the visit, but now she had something more suitable. She also loves beauty, so she smiled and said, "Then I'll wear this outfit the day after tomorrow."

Zhou Shuren, "Okay."

Zhulan went back to change her clothes to prevent them from getting dirty and looking different after washing.

Zhou Shuren followed him into the room and saw Zhulan sitting in deep thought after changing her clothes. "Are you thinking about something?"

Zhulan talked about Wang Ru's adoption and the two girls in the Wang family's possible miserable lives. "I can't be as cold-blooded as Wang Ru. In ancient times, it was more terrible for a woman to lose her chastity than to die. I'm not a saint, but I'm a modern person after all. I can't let it go."

In her eyes, Wang Ru was not the original child, and it was Wang Ru who brought her own death. No matter how miserably Wang Ru had ruined herself, she would not have been affected. But the other two girls were too young, just junior high school students in modern times. Thinking about the various news about modern abuses, she felt even worse. Women were treated harshly in every era.

Zhou Shuren saw Zhulan staring at him, and his heart softened. He was the one with a hard heart. The environment made him so. He had a small heart. He only cared about the people who touched his heart. He really didn't care about other people. He was happy in his heart. Zhulan always had good intentions in her heart. "What do you want to say to me?"

Zhu Lan knew she couldn't hide it from Zhou Shuren, so she hooked her fingertips around Zhou Shuren and said, "I just wanted to remind you. You see, you and I are both annoyed by Wang Ru, but because we are weak, we have to endure her jumping around in front of us. Now, why not remind the two girls of the Wang family? Wang Erya is smart and will restrain and plot against Wang Ru. If someone is thinking about her, Wang Ru will be more honest. How about killing two birds with one stone?"

Zhou Shuren pinched Zhulan's nose, his eyes full of affection, it really killed two birds with one stone, "I will remind you quietly, and I won't miss us."

Zhu Lan held Zhou Shuren's arm and said, "Then I'll leave it to you."

Zhou Shuren treated himself to a treat. He touched Zhulan's skin with his fingertips. It was so tender that he didn't even want to touch himself. He felt depressed for a moment. If it weren't for the beard covering his face and Zhulan's maintenance work, he and Zhulan would be of different generations just in appearance. No, he had to maintain his skin too!

The next morning, Zhou Shuren went out for a while and came back soon. He told Zhulan, "It's done."

Zhulan was so curious, "How did you do it?"

Zhou Shuren raised his eyebrows, "Simple, I went to the clan leader's house to chat with him. In the lively evening, the clan leader talked about Wang Ru's visit to the bookkeeper to find a female household, and he offered a benefit fee of ten taels. My aunt happened to be there and said that Wang Ru was cruel. I said that the reputation of Zhoujia Village should not be affected. Seeing that the younger generation of the family was about to rise, the overall reputation of the village was very important, and we couldn't let the rat shit spoil the broth. My aunt rushed out."

Zhu Lan gave a thumbs up. Zhou Shuren was amazing. People who didn't know him wouldn't think that he was the one who led the way even if they were there. He was acting entirely out of justice. The clan leader's family was not only the clan leader of the Zhou family, but his son was also the rightful one. If something really happened, the clan leader's family would still be responsible for it. It would be bad if they got themselves into trouble. It would be better to cut off the source directly. "It was done beautifully."

Zhou Shuren was in a state of mirth, "Just wait and see!"
