Chapter 69: Harming Others Instead of Harming Yourself

The Zhou family's small classroom has started. Zhulan has a rough idea of ​​the situation after taking a look. Rongchuan has no basic skills, and the Li and Zhao families are about the same. They can do simple mental arithmetic within 50, but they need to use copper coins to do numbers over 100.

The youngest daughter and the eldest grandson had the best foundation, and because Zhou Shuren taught them for a few days, they had no problem scoring within 100.

After the courtyard wall was built, the ranking changed. Rongchuan was really smart. No wonder Zhou Shuren attached great importance to hands-on teaching. This child understood things quickly and could apply what he had learned to other situations. Simple addition and subtraction were not enough for him. He could already do the math problems compiled by Zhulan based on ancient times.

The second place was unexpected. Zhulan didn't expect it to be Li. Li was slow in learning to read but was good at math. On the other hand, Zhao was good at reading but terrible at math.

Li was very proud and said, "Mom, I will stop for two days to wait for my brother and sister-in-law's progress, and then I will learn it after I finish it?"

It’s been four days and she wants to go out for a walk. Life without gossip is miserable!

Zhulan had a wooden face. These days, Li had gotten used to making Zhao angry. She had made Zhao cry several times. She waved her hands tiredly and told him to leave quickly. She would have two days of peace. "Don't forget to come back at mealtime to cook."

Zhulan provided small suggestions based on the dishes that Hyundai had eaten. Li's cooking skills improved dramatically and he became indispensable for cooking at home.

Li grinned, "Mom, I will never forget it."

Li ran away happily, fearing that her mother-in-law would go back on her word!

Zhao took two deep breaths. She couldn't even compare to her elder sister-in-law. Tears welled up in her eyes. She couldn't help but shrugged and cried, "Mom, am I really that stupid? I can't even compare to my elder sister-in-law."

How could she be worse than an idiot? She was so shocked that she started to doubt herself. How could she be dumber than an idiot? She couldn't accept the fact!

Zhulan secretly scolded Li. She was also in pain. Why did she have to coax people? She was a little embarrassed about Zhao and said dryly, "Everyone has their own strengths. You think she is not as literate as you."

Zhao still couldn't accept it. Her calculations shouldn't be so bad. When she thought about her daughter and son following her, she said, "Mom, I'm sorry to the Zhou family."

Zhulan, "......."

She really couldn't follow Zhao's train of thought. What did this have to do with the Zhou family?

"Ah!" The cry scared Zhulan, and Zhao forgot to cry!

Zhulan listened carefully to the noises coming from the backyard. Not wanting to hear Zhao crying anymore, she hurried out to see what was happening. When she got to the backyard and looked at the high wall, she realized she couldn't watch the live broadcast anymore and could only listen.

Wang Zhang's voice was very recognizable. She angrily cursed Wang Laosi, "You black-hearted bastard, you deserve to die..."

Zhulan's mouth twitched. Wang Zhang cursed for a full minute without repeating herself. She also understood the reason. Wang Ru sold more than one recipe. There were several shops selling spicy cabbage in the county. Those who opened the shops all had their own channels and low costs. But it was different for the Wang family. The cabbage they bought at a high price plus other costs was more expensive than the cabbage sold in the shops. Wang Zhang suffered a heavy loss.

Apart from Wang Lao Si, the Wang family still had four sons and married grandsons. With more than enough manpower, they greedily made a yard of kimchi, thinking they could make a fortune. However, they suffered a loss unexpectedly. Mrs. Wang Zhang had never suffered such a big loss from her own family members and was completely furious!

Zhulan tilted her ears to listen, and heard Sun's crying, Wang Ru's shouting, Wang Laosi's screaming from being beaten, and the chaotic sounds of smashing and destroying things.

In the final analysis, Wang Ru was too cruel. She knew very well the kind of person Wang Zhang was and she didn't leave her any room for leniency. This time she pushed Wang Zhang into a corner.

Zhulan, who did not listen to gossip, had heard a lot of news. She calculated that Wang Zhang had invested nearly ten taels of silver. Wang Zhang had married several grandsons' wives one after another, so the nearly ten taels of silver was almost all the money she had.

Zhulan wanted to listen, but there were too many people and it was so noisy that she couldn't hear clearly. She knew everything she needed to know, and her legs and heels were numb, so she went back to the front yard.

Xue Han asked with concern, "Mom, what happened in the backyard?"

Zhulan did not hide the story of Wang Laosi's family, and she also explained the truth, "When facing the enemy, first assess your own ability. If you have the ability, you can root out the enemy completely. If you don't have the ability, you can take advantage of the opportunity to avoid the enemy and wait for the opportunity to strike. Don't learn from Laosi's family, who will hurt yourself instead of others."

When Zhou Laoer came in and heard this, he nodded repeatedly. As expected of his mother, they had the same idea.

At lunchtime, Li came back. Zhulan asked directly without waiting for Li to speak, "How did you solve the problem of Wang Laosi's family?"

Li was surprised, "How did you know if my mother didn't go out?"

Zhulan, "........Wang Laosi's house is in the back street."

Li slapped his head and said, "See, I forgot."

Zhulan noticed that the street in front was also in chaos and became curious, "How did you solve it?"

Li won't come back satisfied unless the problem is solved.
