Chapter 225: The Way Back

Mr. Zheng saw that his wife had almost finished talking, so he asked the right questions. It was indeed as his daughter-in-law had said, Zhou Shuren was very confident in Zhongju. The status of a judge was enough to protect the house. As for whether he would become an official in the future and never come back, he was not worried, as long as the house was not sold.

He had experienced ups and downs in his life and had experienced a great escape. He had no trust in the court at all. He was really scared. If his ancestors had a way out, his family would not have been forced into a state of nowhere. He did not want his grandchildren and descendants to be in the same situation. The rise and fall of a family was normal, and a way out must be kept here.

Moreover, as the most secretive escape route, it would be best to have some connection with the family, but not too deep. This would be the safest option. With the experience gained, the Zheng family would at least not be easily in trouble in the future. After a few decades, everyone who should know would be dead, and it would be difficult to investigate.

He has his own ability to judge people. Zhou Shuren has a plan for success and a general direction. If he gives some advice and leaves a way out, there is no need to worry about losing the house. That is the Zheng family's most secret way out.

Zhou Shuren didn't know about Master Zheng's psychological activities, but he could guess roughly. This was the first time he was plotted against since he came to the ancient times. Why did he feel so unhappy? Even though he knew that the Zheng family would definitely give him some benefits, he was still unhappy. It turned out that it was never easy to accept the pie.

Zhou Shuren coughed and said, "Master, we've been sitting here for so long, shall we go check the ground first?"

Mr. Zheng stood up, stroking his beard, and said, "Come on, I'll take you out for a walk."

Zhou Shuren,

This means I'm not going to take him to see the land.

Zhulan blinked when she saw Zhou Shuren leaving, thinking that he was going to have a private talk.

Old Madam Zheng smiled and stood up. "I'll take you around the courtyards, too. We have a large family, so there are many small courtyards in the courtyard. We put a lot of thought into building the house, so it's warm in the winter and cool in the summer. We also dug a deep cellar specifically for storing ice. In the hot summer, we can use ice to cool down. It's very convenient."

Bamboo orchid,

She found that the six hundred or so dollars she thought was enough for the two families was actually not enough at all. This house was worth a lot of money, and if the Zheng family had not come to them, they would not have been able to afford it.

The old lady continued, "Each courtyard is independent."

The more Zhulan looked at it, the more she liked it. She liked independent yards so they wouldn't disturb each other. She and Zhou Shuren could have more private space. It was a pity that their family had to move to Pingzhou.

Zhulan and Old Lady Zheng were walking in the yard. Zhulan didn't see anyone from the Zheng family. She didn't know whether they had left or were still in the house.

After a walk around and returning to the main house, Zhou Shuren and Zheng Laoyezi had already returned. The two were as affectionate as real father and son. Zhulan, who had been watching them closely, silently looked away. They were all foxes, so they had found their own kind.

Old Mrs. Zheng was happy. The old man hadn't been so happy for a long time. The sons in the family were violent and stupid, which made the old man angry. The grandsons were okay, but the old man was the head of the family and could only keep them calm. The third brother was a dull person, which made the old man not so happy to chat for many years.

Mr. Zheng, "Old lady, hurry up and pack some snacks for my eldest nephew's children to take back."

Mrs. Zheng smiled and said, "It's been prepared for a long time."

As soon as the old lady finished speaking, Boss Zheng brought in two baskets, one filled with snacks, and the other filled with dates and other nourishing foods.

Zhulan was embarrassed. "That's too much. Those who know us came to look at the land. Those who don't know us thought I went back to my parents' home to ask for money."

Mrs. Zheng laughed, "What do you mean?"

Zhulan told her parents how much money they gave her. Old Madam Zheng felt the same way and patted Zhulan's hand, saying, "This is the heart of a parent, always thinking about their children."

She also gave a lot of support to the young lady, otherwise the ginseng medicine used by the young lady to replenish her body was really beyond the aunt's ability to buy. The young lady was able to live to this day because of the support from her and the old man.

About a quarter of an hour later, Zhulan and Zhou Shuren left the Zheng family. Zhou Lao Da was taken away by Zheng's eldest brother Zheng Lao Da. Now he is back and waiting on the ox cart.

Boss Zhou was a little confused. When he saw his parents coming out, he hurriedly took the basket from his father's hand and put it in the car.

Zhou Shuren and Zhulan exchanged polite words with Zheng's brother before getting on the carriage to go home.

There was no one around after leaving Lijia Village, and Zhou Laoda couldn't hold back his words, "Dad, didn't you come here to look at the land? Why am I the one who came to look at the land?"

He was a little confused. He really didn't expect that Boss Zheng would take him to see the land and introduce it in great detail. He said the paddy fields were above average, and the dry fields were really good. The most important thing was that they were in large tracts. He felt relieved at the sight of them.

He asked about his parents several times, but Boss Zheng changed the subject. If he didn't know that his parents were fine, he would have rushed into the house!

Zhou Shuren raised his eyebrows. It turned out that the land was here. He did not reply to the boss, but asked, "How about the Zheng family's land?"

When Zhou Laoda saw that his father did not reply, he understood that this was not what he should ask, so he replied, "The paddy fields will become top-quality paddy fields in a few years, and the dry fields are top-quality dry fields. They are also very well taken care of, and the soil is fertile. Dad, if we buy the Zheng family's land, we will make a lot of money just by reselling the paddy fields in a few years. It is absolutely appropriate to buy the Zheng family's land. If it were not for Aunt Zheng's relationship, it would probably have been bought before our family got their turn."

Zhou Shuren snorted, "It is indeed because of your Aunt Zheng that we were hit by the pie."

Zhou Lao Da didn't turn around. His father asked with a hidden meaning, "Dad, didn't you make the final decision?"

Zhou Shuren looked up at the sky and said, "It's settled. The property will be transferred tomorrow."

Boss Zhou turned around suddenly. This was too fast. Dad made the deal without even looking at the land? "Dad, how much did you pay for it?"

He still remembered that he wanted to buy the house together. He swallowed his saliva. The scope of his own family was quite large. Now he not only had houses and shops in the city, but also nearly a hundred acres of land, and a big house. He pinched himself hard. The pain was not a dream, but it was like a dream.

Zhulan also looked at Zhou Shuren. She really didn't know what they talked about in detail, but she touched the bracelet on her hand. No matter how much money it was, they had made a profit.

Apart from the frustration of being plotted against, everything else was fine for Zhou Shuren. He leaned against the ox cart and said, "Let's talk about it when I get home."

Boss Zhou was very worried. His father was in a good mood again, so he thought the price must not be high. He whipped the cow with a whip, hoping to go home quickly. He thought that he would not have to worry about food and drink in the future, and he would have such a rich family fortune. He was full of energy and shouted in his heart what his wife said: He would never split up the family, no matter how hard he tried.

Zhulan looked at the eldest brother who was as excited as a chicken. This child was quite stimulated. She chuckled. She was also stimulated today. Today, she taught them a lesson. There were things they could not calculate, places they did not know, and pitfalls they did not notice. Fortunately, it was the Zheng family who wanted to use them today. If it was someone with bad intentions, it would be too late to regret. They were still not careful enough.

After returning to the Zhou family, Zhulan got out of the car and stretched her legs for a while before entering the house. Zhou Laoer helped the eldest son unload the cattle cart. Zhulan and Zhou Shuren entered the house and soon after, the two sons came in.

Boss Zhou has been thinking about him all the way, looking at him eagerly, "Dad."
