Chapter 425: Not So Beautiful

But to be honest, she didn't really like it. She just wanted to stock up dowries for her daughter and granddaughter. She had two granddaughters in the family, and who knows, there might be more in the future. Even if the family was divided in the future, she, as a grandmother, couldn't favor one over the other, so she tried to stockpile as much as possible.

So after she has a child, she still has to work hard to earn money. Being an elder is not easy sometimes, as it's all about money.

Fang saw her mother-in-law looking at the fur, "Does she like it?"

Zhulan, "...I like it. My mother-in-law spent money."

Fang was not afraid of spending money. She had been begging her grandfather for help for the past six months. She had completely understood that even if she had money, it would be useless. She still had to rely on the Zhou family. But she was anxious. The Zhou family didn't like her anymore. She had no regrets and could only try to please them. She didn't dare to disturb her mother-in-law and could only urge her daughter-in-law to marry.

Zhao came in at this time. Fang felt uncomfortable when she saw Zhao. Why didn't the lady say a few words for Keqi? She was so good to the lady in the past, why didn't the lady help her?

Zhulan motioned Zhao to sit down, and without waiting for Fang to speak, she said directly: "I know why my mother-in-law came. I have already talked to my father about the academy. She can go to the academy, but her household registration must be changed to Lizhou City."

Fang was delighted. She was eager to change her household registration. Her in-laws were in Lizhou City. "Okay, okay, change, change."

Zhu Lan smiled and said, "My mother-in-law will bring Keqi here tomorrow, and Chang Lian will take Keqi to the academy."

Fang didn't expect it to be so smooth. She stood up excitedly and said, "Thank you, mother-in-law. Thank you, mother-in-law."

Zhulan narrowed her eyes and said, "You're welcome."

Zhao was also stunned. She didn't expect her mother-in-law to solve the problem. Zhao's eyes turned red. She thought her mother-in-law must have done this because she didn't want her to be embarrassed.

Zhulan sent Fang away and saw Zhao's eyes were red. "Why are you crying?"

It seemed like she hadn't seen Zhao cry for a long time. Zhulan looked at Zhao. Zhao was old now and had gained a lot of weight. She also wore dark clothes on purpose. Well, she was not that beautiful anymore.

Zhao sniffed, "Thank you, Mom. I shouldn't have done that before."

Zhulan reacted and felt a little guilty about thanking her. She wanted to keep Fang in Lizhou City. After the Zhou family left, the smart people in Fang and Zhao families reacted.

A few days after Zhou Laoer left, it snowed heavily in Lizhou City. This was the first snowfall of the year and it was particularly heavy, reaching up to the calves after one night.

Fortunately, all the apples in Lizhou City were picked and sold, otherwise it would have caused considerable losses.

When Zhulan got up, the snow in the yard had been cleared, but it was still snowing lightly.

Zhulan wrapped her cloak tightly around her neck, "I hope the snow won't fall any more."

Too much snow is not good either, especially in ancient times. Not only would transportation be inconvenient, but the common people would suffer the most.

Zhou Shuren, "I may be back a little late today."

"Keep warm."

Zhou Shuren smiled and said, "Yeah."

Fortunately, the snow stopped at noon and there was no snowstorm. However, Zhou Shuren was not optimistic. "It is said that it has snowed heavily outside the border for two days. Last year, there was not such heavy snow. I am most worried that some small tribes will take risks to steal food. Now the border has been strictly guarded."

Zhulan, "Is it snowing so heavily outside?"

"Although the snow is not as heavy as in Lizhou City, it is still a snowstorm if it continues for two days. Even if the foreigners are crippled, they will still take risks if they have nothing to eat."

Zhulan, "I hope the snow outside will stop soon, so as not to disrupt the peaceful boundary that we finally achieved."

Zhou Shuren held Zhulan's hand and said, "Yes."

Zhulan has been keeping an eye on the news outside the border. The good news is that the snow has stopped, but the troops stationed in Lizhou City have been very nervous and still dare not relax.

Not to mention the stationed soldiers, even the common people would not go out easily.
