Chapter 274: The tiger is away from home, lest the monkey claim the throne

Zhou Shuren kissed Zhulan on the forehead, "Aren't we going to Lord Jiang's residence the day after tomorrow?"

Zhu Lan grabbed Zhou Shuren's beard and asked, "You mean Jiang Ming will help introduce the master?"

Zhou Shuren held Zhulan's hand and said, "Jiang Ming's wife, Mrs. Dong, and Mrs. Dong are sisters from the same mother. Lord Jiang trusts Chang Lian, his brother-in-law. In addition, Chang Lian is young, so if he is well trained, he will be a great help. Lord Jiang will help Chang Lian find a master."

Lord Jiang was not only doing this for the sake of having someone he could trust in the future, but also for his son. He was helping Chang Lian now, and Chang Lian would have to repay him in the future.

Zhu Lan was relieved and pulled Zhou Shuren's beard, "When are we leaving?"

Zhou Shuren hissed. Not only did he like touching his beard, Zhulan also had an unsure habit of pulling his beard. The pain from pulling the beard was different from the pain from pulling the hair. Pulling the beard really hurt!

Zhulan quickly let go of her hand. It was not her fault. It was really the beard that was too annoying. She wanted to pull it every time. "Does it hurt?"

"What do you think?"

Zhulan looked dazed, "You haven't said when you're going to the capital yet!"

Zhou Shuren rubbed his chin, "Now that Changlian's master has been appointed, we will leave. I calculated the date and it will take about three months to go back and forth. When we come back, it will be time for the provincial examination."

Zhulan sat up happily and said, "Then I have to pack my luggage. I only have a few days left."

Zhou Shuren pulled Zhulan to lie down, "There's no rush. I'm sleepy too. Stay with me for a while."

Zhulan felt guilty. It was all because of her that Zhou Shuren didn't get a good rest. Zhou Shuren was a light sleeper and she tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, so Zhou Shuren couldn't sleep either.

Neither of them woke up at noon.

Mrs. Li stood at the door and urged the head of the household, "It's time to eat, go in and call your parents!"

Boss Zhou looked back at his two brothers. Very good. They were particularly united at this moment. They knew they couldn't plot against him, so they turned to plot against Li. Li pulled him over and called for help, and he couldn't hide. Didn't he feel heartbroken when his younger brothers and sisters bullied him and his wife like this?

Zhou Laoer and his wife looked up at the sky and thought the weather was good today.

Chang Lian was not in a good mood, but with the company of the eldest brother, he felt much better. Mrs. Dong and Chang Lian were of the same mind, so when Chang Lian was in a good mood, Mrs. Dong also felt better.

Changzhi didn't come back, and Rongchuan and Jiang Sheng, one is the future son-in-law and the other has been a son-in-law for many years, but he has no say and can only do nothing to help.

Xuemei wanted to help her elder brother, but unfortunately her younger sister held her back and wouldn't let her go forward. Well, it's really not easy for her elder brother, the whole family is teaming up to bully him!

Boss Zhou cursed a few times in his heart. He didn't want to see his annoying brothers anymore.

Li was disgusted by the head of the family's ink, but she was also afraid. Her father-in-law had a dark face, and everyone was afraid. "Hurry up, the food will get cold soon."

In the room, Zhou Shuren woke up, but had no intention of getting up. He had been very resentful these days. The feeling of being a father that he finally had was gone long ago. Zhou Shuren covered Zhulan's ears with his hands and continued to close his eyes.

Boss Zhou knocked on the door, "Dad, Mom, lunch is ready."

After a long time, no one responded.

Boss Zhou mustered up his courage and knocked again, but there was still no sound. Boss Zhou was worried, but he didn't dare to go in. He saw his mother and father there last time, and his father had given him a good beating!

Zhou Laoer knew that his father must have heard it. Recently, his father had been looking at them with a cold eye. His father had disliked them for a long time and thought it was better for them to leave as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, Boss Zhou knocked on the door again.

Zhou Shuren's eyes were filled with anger. How stupid! It would have been fine if he had done it once and twice, but he even dared to hit him a third time. "Get lost."

Boss Zhou, "........"

This time he reacted. Dad had woken up a long time ago, so Mom must not have woken up. If Mom had woken up, Dad would not have scolded her. Even if Zhou Lao Da was beaten to death, he would never have thought that Dad would cover Mom's ears!

When Boss Zhou came to his senses, he turned around and saw that there was someone behind him!

In the afternoon, Zhulan woke up and saw that the brightness in the room was wrong. It was already afternoon, and when she looked again, she saw Zhou Shuren sitting and reading a book!

Zhulan sat up suddenly, "Why didn't you call me when you woke up!"

She is the mother-in-law. It’s ok for her to sleep alone in the daytime, but she slept in Zhou Shuren’s room all day. The daughters-in-law won’t think too much! Her face!!

Zhou Shuren looked at Zhulan's changing expression and laughed, "You said that Li was willing to fill in the blanks. I think you are just scaring yourself. You haven't looked good recently. I can tell you haven't had enough rest. It's normal for me to watch over you. It would be abnormal if I didn't watch over you! You are the most important person in my heart!"

Zhulan breathed a sigh of relief, but rolled her eyes in her heart. This guy finally confessed his feelings. She frowned and said, "You should have called us for lunch at noon. Why didn't I hear you?"

Are these guys brave enough? Do you want to try the stepfather and stepmother mode?

Zhou Shuren, "I covered your ears, so you can't hear it."

Zhulan, "......."

Xuemei and Dong have been nagging in her ears these days, preventing her from getting enough rest. Zhou Shuren has been dissatisfied for a long time, and has been suppressing his anger until the college entrance examination is over. He cannot be angry with his daughter-in-law, and his son-in-law is from a different family. Well, he just puts the blame on the Zhou brothers. He is really turning on the stepfather mode!

Zhulan was hungry. Looking at the time, she decided not to eat lunch and they could have dinner together in the evening.

Zhulan lay down again. It had been a long time since she had slept so comfortably for such a long time. She felt so comfortable.

At dinner time, Zhou Shuren had a blank expression on his face and was silent while eating. At Zhulan's table, the children were also quiet and ate obediently. Li and Zhao had seen their father-in-law get angry before, and they felt it themselves, so they were nervous for the whole afternoon.

This was the first time Dong encountered this. Seeing that her husband was not in a good mood, she was depressed and did not dare to say anything.

Zhulan felt quiet and comfortable. This family really needed a beating with a stick. Recently, the Zhou family's hearts have been flying in the sky, especially after Chang Lian and Chang Zhi passed the imperial examinations. Now it's time to put their hearts down.

Moreover, she and Zhou Shuren will be away from home for three months, so it is indeed time to give the family a good warning and keep the family together, lest the monkeys become king when the tiger is away. There are many monkey spirits around!

After dinner, Zhou Shuren took his sons to the front yard and brought Mingyun with him.

Zhulan waited for Zhou Shuren to come back, "Are you done knocking?"

Zhou Shuren: "Yes."

Zhulan didn't wait for the follow-up. She knew in her heart that this man had dealt a heavy blow to Zhou Lao Da and his men. He didn't tell her because he was afraid that she would be soft-hearted? She really would not be soft-hearted!

The next morning, Zhou Shuren went out to buy gifts. This time he didn't need to bring any expensive gifts to the Jiang Mansion, just tea and snacks would be enough.

Zhulan didn't have to go to Jiangfu Le's leisurely life. She probably thought that Zhou Shuren was angry. Xuemei also felt that she had stayed too long and tired her mother, so she proposed to go back. "Mom, our whole family has been here for quite a while. Let Jiang Sheng find a car team today, and we will go back tomorrow."

She really shouldn't have done that. It was only after her father got angry that she realized that her mother had indeed been looking bad recently. It was all because of her slow reaction due to the pregnancy. If she hadn't been pregnant, she should have noticed that her mother was not feeling well, and she wouldn't have kept staying by her mother's side and nagging her all the time, causing her mother to worry about her.

Zhu Lan said, "Don't leave in such a hurry. Your father and I will go to the capital in a few days. You can leave after we leave. Please see us off."

Xuemei was dumbfounded, "Mom, what did you say?"

Zhulan smiled and said, "I said your father and I would go to the capital in a few days."

Xuemei was stunned, "Mom, the provincial examination is coming soon, what are you going to do in the capital?"

Today, Zhulan was alone with Xuemei, and she did not hide it, "If your father passes the provincial examination, he will go to Beijing to take the exam next year. I want to buy a yard in Beijing while I have time. The yard does not need to be big, just a place to stay. Every time they go to Beijing to take the exam, many people have no place to stay, so it is better to have a yard of their own. Not only can your father rest well, but he will also avoid being disturbed."

Xuemei asked without hesitation, "Mom, how much money do we have?"
