Chapter 208: The Trap

Doctor Lu carefully felt the pulse and nodded with satisfaction, "You have taken good care of yourself. Your Qi and blood are much more vigorous. Before, your Qi could not move your blood, but now it is back to normal. I will prescribe a dietary supplement for you. You can take it when winter comes."

Zhulan thanked him, "Thank you, old man."

Doctor Lu took the pen from the table and wrote, "Keep the prescription. This is a tonic recipe that is best taken in winter."

Zhulan's baby accepted it, "Can my husband eat it too?"

Doctor Lu was a little panicked. This couple really cared about each other. "Of course."

Zhulan was happy. Zhou Shuren was exhausted this summer. Although he was full of energy, he had lost the meat he had built up with great difficulty. It was a good time for him to replenish his body in the winter. This year, he bought a whole sheep to nourish his body.

Zhulan arranged for Doctor Lu to rest, and Li came back happily, "Mom, five taels of silver, five taels for two chairs."

Zhulan took it and used the money to replace the chairs and tables in the main hall. "Well done."

Li was no longer heartbroken this time. She understood that the money was a thank-you gift from the neighbor, not for her. "Mom, Wang Rong gave me this money. He gave it to me without me saying anything. His words made me feel comfortable. I never thought that this girl was not bad."

Zhulan nodded. As long as Wang Rong kept understanding in his heart, it would not be bad no matter how hard the future was. "Cook two more meals today. I'll go to the backyard to pick vegetables. You steam the buns first."

Li rolled up his sleeves and said, "I'll go cook now."

I've wasted the whole morning on Wang Ru. What bad luck!

After Zhulan had finished picking the vegetables, Zhou Laoer also came back, holding four large grass carps in his hands. "They are quite big, are they still alive and just caught?"

Zhou Laoer said, "I was lucky. I happened to meet Zhang Wu who was going to the county to sell fish. I bought four big ones. I ate two for lunch and saved two for Dad to eat when he came back in the evening."

Zhulan had already thought about how to cook the fish. "The fish is still alive, put it in the tank quickly, and we will have boiled fish for lunch."

Zhou Lao Er said, "Red peppers are just the right thing to get rid of bad luck."

Zhulan, "........"

She felt that these words were just to comfort herself and were of no use at all.

There were six dishes for lunch: boiled fish, chicken stewed with potatoes, braised tofu, tofu with green onions, two vegetarian dishes, and the staple food was steamed white flour buns.

Doctor Lu didn't feel embarrassed to give the recipe. He loved boiled fish the most. "It's really authentic, better than the ones in the restaurant."

As the eldest brother, it was Zhou Laoda's turn to entertain. If he hadn't been unable to handle the situation today, his mother wouldn't have been there. He knew that he needed to practice, but he was still reliable when entertaining ordinary people. "My wife is a good cook. If you like it, eat more."

Doctor Lu was very happy with the meal. "It's not only good, but it's no worse than the chef's."

This family is quite interesting, their atmosphere is good, and he has a good vision.

After the meal, Boss Zhou personally sent Doctor Lu and his son back to the county.

After the guests left, Ming Teng refused to go to the clan school. He was really scared. "Brother, I won't dare to fool you again. I will focus on writing big characters in the future. Don't let me go to the clan school."

He was not allowed to make any noise or play in class, and his face was pinched after class. He felt that his face had become fatter!

Mingyun felt that the lesson was not enough. This kid enjoyed himself. When he was as old as Mingteng, he used a wooden stick to write, while his younger brother used a brush to learn calligraphy. His younger brother should learn from his good fortune. He frowned and said expressionlessly, "If you don't come with me when I count to three, I will be angry."

Ming Teng felt a chill down his spine. His brother was scary when he was angry. He didn't know what had happened to his brother this year. His cold face frightened his parents. Every time he annoyed his brother, he hoped his mother would talk to him. His mother would always say to him earnestly, "In the future, the whole family will depend on your brother. You should listen to whatever your brother says. Don't you see that I don't even act like a mother? This is called self-knowledge. You should understand that!"

Ming Teng looked at his grandmother, who smiled at him and didn't say she would help him. She sighed and said, "I'll go with you."

Mingyun pulled his brother's chubby hand over. He was writing big characters every day, so why didn't his hands get thinner?

Zhulan watched the two brothers leave and sighed, "What a loving brother!"

Li, "........"

She didn't see any love, she only saw the eldest son bullying the old son!

Xue Han, "......."

The friendship she and her mother understand must not mean the same thing!

Zhulan looked for Zhou Laoer but couldn't find him, so she asked Zhao, "Where is Laoer doing?"

Zhao knows her husband very well. Wang Xin plotted against his mother today, and the second son has been holding back his anger. He still needs to show off his achievements. "My husband went to see Wang Lao San. Recently, Wang Lao San and Wang Lao Si have been getting close."

Zhulan immediately realized that Zhou Laoer was going to plot against Wang Laosi, so he went to Wang Laosan first to set a trap. "What's going on at Wang Laosan's house recently?"

Zhao whispered, "The eldest daughter of Wang Laosan's family is looking for a marriage partner recently."

Zhulan realized that Zhou Laoer went after Wang Xin. Wang Xin was indeed at the age to get engaged. Zhou Laoer was the one who started the fire. As for what happened afterwards, it was Wang Laosi's business. Zhou Laoer was causing trouble for Wang Xin and she was venting her anger. Laoer was a cruel person who picked on your sore spots. "When Laoer comes back, let him borrow money from you to replace the chairs and tables in the main hall with new ones."

Zhao readily agreed, "I'll remember that."

Zhulan went back to the house to make clothes. She still had three sets of clothes to make. As for Li, she tried to make mooncakes again. She made the snow skin mooncakes in a week, but they could not be stored and would not taste good after a long time. Li was very dedicated and focused on overcoming the problem. Time was running out for Li, as she had to send them to Dong Chuchu in a few days.

In the evening, Zhou Shuren came back in a carriage, which was still Yao Zheyu's carriage. Zhulan thought that Yao Zheyu had come again, so only Zhou Shuren and Xiao Si got off the carriage.

Xiao Si held two brocade boxes in his hands. "The young master said that he wanted to thank the scholar today. He has to go back to Pingzhou tomorrow. I'm sorry that I can't come to thank you. I'm sending you gifts to express my gratitude."

Zhu Lan motioned for the eldest brother to take it, "Thank you for me, young master. You are so polite."

Seeing the exquisite gift box, the gift must be down-to-earth. She likes down-to-earth things.

Xiao Si got in the carriage and left. The carriage soon disappeared on the street. Zhu Lan then asked Zhou Shuren, "Did he come to pick you up specially?"

"You guessed it right. He was waiting for me at the county government office. I took the carriage back and got to experience the official carriage for myself."

Zhulan waited for the boss to leave the room and lowered her voice, "Why did he leave so suddenly?"

Zhou Shuren, "It's more obvious than it seems. There was quite a commotion today. There must be people watching him, so he must be acting like he doesn't want to cause any trouble."

"What a scheme! I think it's gone too far. The hero dislikes Wang Ru from the bottom of his heart, and I don't know if he will take extreme measures. However, Wang Ru saved his life today. If she makes a big fuss, she will expose it in the open. Shi Qing is watching her, so at least she won't disappear for no reason."

Zhou Shuren nodded. A scream came from next door. Was it Wang Ru who woke up? But the person screaming was not the right one!
