"When did I dislike you for being old? If I disliked you for being old, why would I have married you in the first place? Besides, you are not young to begin with, you are two years older than me," Zhou Muzhi hurriedly told the truth.
But it was not entirely true. After all, the reason he fell in love with Ye Xiyan, besides a green filter, was mainly because of the financial support from the Ye family. So he didn't understand why Ye Xiyan cared about whether her face aged or not.
I don’t care whether you are old or not. You should worry about your own face instead of worrying about your Ye family’s business. If it goes bankrupt, it will be bad for everyone.
But these words cannot be said directly.
"You still despise me," Ye Xiyan seemed to have suffered great humiliation and cried miserably.
Zhou Yaozu, who had been reading in the yard, heard the noise and rushed in immediately, shouting, "Daddy, how can you bully Mom? Mom is so good to us, washing clothes and cooking for us, you are not allowed to bully Mom..."
Ever since Zhou Yaozu came to the city, he felt like he had become a rich young man. Even his tone of voice was different, and he even had maids at home. Such a good life was given to him by Ye Xiyan.
Mother is closer to us than father.
In the past, he wholeheartedly protected Ye Xiyan, and his father even appreciated his kindness and thought he was a good boy.
His mother also treated him extra well, and it was a good deal that was sure to make money.
But things were obviously different today. First of all, Daddy looked at Zhou Yaozu angrily and said, "What do you know about good or bad things? Washing clothes and cooking is good. But Zhao Taoyin also washed clothes and cooked before. Why didn't you say that? Get out of the way. This is between me and your mother."
"Then you are not allowed to bully mother."
"Wuwuwu..." Ye Xiyan just kept crying.
Zhou Muzhi was at his wit's end. Continuing to argue with Ye Xiyan would have yielded no results. He simply said, "It's better to save some money in the future. A hundred coins can do a lot of things. We just need to get through these few days. When I graduate from high school, what do you want to buy me? Don't you see that we can't count on the Ye family anymore?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? My family has always been wealthy, how can we not rely on you? Even if my father is not rich himself, he will spend his money on you. He has always hoped that there would be a scholar in the family," Ye Xiyan argued.
All I can say is that Zhou Muzhi is not smart, and Ye Xiyan is even dumber.
Their wealthy family was truly in danger of an unprecedented crisis, but this foolish woman hadn't noticed it. Secondly, Master Ye hoped to have a scholar in his family, but that was an idea when he had enough food and drink and had extra money. If his life was in danger, who would care about him as a scholar?
"Anyway, you should save some money, at least you can get through this."
For the first time, Zhou Muzhi felt a little regretful. He had spent eighty-eight taels of silver to marry Ye Xiyan. In fact, if he could not afford the eighty-eight taels of silver, a cheap girl like Ye Xiyan would also be eager to marry him.
Forget it, the past will never come back.
At this time, someone knocked at the door. The maid went to open the door and found a beggar woman at the door. She was about to drive her away when she heard the beggar woman say, "I'm looking for my son. My son is a scholar. Zhou Muzhi, if you dare to hit me, be careful that my son will beat you."
When the maid heard that the other party had actually said the master's name accurately, she didn't dare to fight for a moment. Unexpectedly, just as she was coming to her senses, Old Lady Zhou rushed in.
"Son, mother is here to see you..."
When Zhou Muzhi saw Old Lady Zhou coming, he felt even more worried. But it seemed like it was a good idea. He could take the opportunity to sell the maid and let her mother come to work.
If his sister gets married early, he can earn some dowry. With this thought in mind, Zhou Muzhi went out to meet her. He found that Old Lady Zhou was really slovenly and there was disgust in her eyes.
"Brother, we finally found you. You didn't tell me your address when you left. My mother and I waited in the academy for two days before we found out," Zhou Miaoer also followed.
