Chapter 558 Chang Zhi

Zhulan looked at the overly quiet house and said, "I'm fine now, you all can go back."

Boss Zhou wanted to cry. Mom was fine, but they were in trouble, especially Chang Zhi. Woohoo, he exposed the plan in advance and caused Mom to sprain her foot. Dad would punish him when he came back.

Li had been trained to keep her mouth shut, but she looked at the county lord with some worry. The county lord was so nice to her, but there were more children in the eldest room in the house, and it would be a pain for her to talk while standing to comfort him!

Su Xuan came to her senses and was disappointed. The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. Fortunately, she had just married and would have a child. However, she had never experienced her father-in-law's bad face. But seeing her husband looking like he wanted to run away from home, she swallowed her saliva and said, "Mom, you must say something good for us!"

Zhu Lan chuckled, "Okay, okay, you all should hurry back as well."

At the Wang Mansion in the capital, Lord Wang sent Jianyan away in a daze and returned to his study to continue playing chess with his old master.

Mr. Wang held the black piece in his hand and asked, "What do you want?"

Lord Wang, "Lend me one hundred taels of silver."

Mr. Wang rubbed his ear and asked, "Can you say it again?"

"Dad, Mr. Zhou asked me to borrow some money."

Mr. Wang laughed and said, "This Mr. Zhou is really interesting. It's a pity that now is not the right time to meet him. I really want to meet him!"

Lord Wang looked at his father, two, bah, how could he say that about his father, "Dad, I'll be back tomorrow, don't you have anything to say?"

Mr. Wang's black piece fell, "You lose."

Lord Wang looked down at the chessboard, "Dad, are you sure you didn't change the pieces when I left?"

Why did he feel that something was wrong with the chessboard? He was clearly going to win?

Mr. Wang dropped his chess pieces, stood up in a good mood, and walked out with his hands behind his back. When he reached the door of the study, he said, "I don't have any instructions. Son, you should think about it and leave on your own."

Lord Wang smiled as he collected the chess pieces, "Ah, I see."

At Zhou's house, Zhou Shuren took the silver and waited for a while before Mr. Deng came back with the child. Zhou Shuren looked at the boy beside Mr. Deng, whose clothes were very clean and whose little hands were red from being frozen. He was obviously very afraid of him, but he was holding on and did not step back. Zhou Shuren became interested and pressed the child with a calm face and his aura.

The little boy bit his lips and stood still. Even though his legs were shaking, his eyes were still stubborn.

Seeing that the child was about to fall, Zhou Shuren calmed down and asked in a very happy tone, "What's your name?"

The little boy tilted his head to look at his father. When his father nodded, he turned around and said crisply, "Deng Yun, you are six years old this year. You can read Thousand Character Classic, Hundred Family Names, and Three Character Classic."

Zhou Shuren looked at Mr. Deng. Is this all he taught?

Mr. Deng understood what the adults meant. "When my parents were around, they thought I was too young to teach them. They only taught me in the past two years."

Zhou Shuren understood and looked at the boy carefully. He looked average-looking. It had been almost a year since the accident. The boy was very thin. "Are you afraid of coming with me in the future?"

Deng Yun was afraid. His grandparents had passed away, his mother had left with his sister, and the family had changed. He was always beaten and scolded. All he could do was not cry. Only by becoming stronger could he avoid being bullied. His father didn't say anything, but he knew that this was an opportunity, so he said, "I'm not afraid."

Zhou Shuren felt better, "You're not bad."

Deng Yun clenched his hands and then loosened them. He was praised. He tilted his head and saw the encouragement in his father's eyes. He grinned. He should be happy at this moment. "Thank you, sir."

Zhou Shuren saw Deng Yun looking at the snacks several times and smiled, "Eat it, but don't eat too much, you still have to eat dinner in the evening."

Deng Yun's face flushed, and he looked at his father nervously. He was embarrassed and wondered if he would displease the adults.

Deng Xiucai sighed that the arrogant young man had not been beaten by the hardships in less than a year, but had grown up. He was proud, "Eat it."

Deng Yun blushed and said, "Thank you, sir."

Zhou Shuren took out a purse and handed it to Mr. Deng, "You have been to the Zhou residence twice today. You have been stamped with the seal of the Zhou residence. You stay in the capital. Take this money."

Mr. Deng waited for a long time but there was no response, holding his purse tightly, so was it a test?

Zhou Shuren was also a little tired. "The guest room has been cleaned up. I'll go back and rest later."

Mr. Deng was grateful in his heart, "Thank you, sir."

In difficult circumstances, he asked for help from all his friends, but their words only added insult to injury. No one offered him any help. It was Lord Zhou who gave him the opportunity!

The next morning, Zhou Shuren took his family to the city gate to meet Yao Zheyu. When Zhou Shuren arrived, Lord Wang and Yao Zheyu had already arrived.

The group left the capital, and Deng Yun sat motionless in Zhou Shuren's carriage.

Zhou Shuren chuckled, "You weren't afraid yesterday, why are you so nervous today? I'm not going to eat you, so relax a little."

Deng Yun clenched his hands, his fingertips touching the clothes on his body. "Zhou Mansion, my father had talked to him for most of the night. He only remembered one thing from his father's words: Mr. Zhou was a very powerful person." He said nervously, "Yes."

Zhou Shuren stopped reading. After all, people always pay attention to rapport. This child caught his eye. "Go back to the mansion and study hard. If you fall behind, I will send you back."

Seeing the little guy's eyes wide open, Zhou Shuren laughed softly.

Deng Yun didn't think the adults were teasing him. He just thought what the adults said was true. He pursed his lips and said, "I, I'm not smart."

He is really not smart and does not have a very high aptitude for studying.

Zhou Shuren knocked the boy's head with the book in his hand, "Remember that hard work can make up for lack of talent, God rewards hard work, if you have talent you can't do without hard work, if you don't have talent you can still succeed by working twice as hard, this is the first lesson I'm going to teach you, remember it."

Deng Yun's eyes widened, not understanding something, but also understanding something, and he shouted loudly, "Yes."

Zhou Shuren narrowed his eyes. The stubbornness in this child's eyes really resembled him when he was a child!

At the Zhou residence, a fast horse had already arrived. Zhu Lan knew that Zhou Shuren was coming back, so she smiled and said to Wu Qiu, "Your uncle will be home soon."

Wu Qiu glanced at his cousin Changli, whose face looked as pale as dust. So, his uncle came back to deal with the matter?

Boss Zhou glared, "What do you mean by that look?"

Wu Qiu smiled, "Looks like he's watching a play."

Boss Zhou,

Zhulan looked down at her swollen ankle, alas, she couldn’t go out to greet them.

At noon, Zhou Shuren arrived at the mansion. Several sons and young ladies were at the gate. The only one missing was Zhulan. You know, every time he came back, Zhulan would wait for him at the door. They are an old couple now, so are they no longer treated the same?

Zhou Shuren walked to the door, "Where's your mother?"

Boss Zhou wanted to remain silent, but someone pushed him from behind. He turned around and looked at Chang Zhi, who was pretending to be innocent, in disbelief. “Don’t look at the sky, you are behind me!”

Zhou Shuren narrowed his eyes, "Are you hiding something from me?"

Zhou Laoda shuddered. His father's voice was so low that he swallowed his saliva, "Dad, Mom didn't come to pick you up because my fourth brother sprained his foot."

Oh, don't think he can take the blame. Whoever causes the trouble will be the one to take the blame.

Zhou Laoer and Chang Lian looked at each other and said, “The boss is right!”

Zhou Shuren smiled, and his smile was so brilliant, "Changzhi!"
