Dazhuzi stopped talking, his whole demeanor darkening. Zhao Dayong felt a pang of pity for him and patted his eldest son on the shoulder, "There's still a long way to go. Persuasion will eventually work; your second brother will eventually agree."
He now realizes that of his three sons, the eldest is most like him.
He is ruthless and patient, and will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. However, he is even more ruthless and ruthless than I am.
Big Pillar sneered, "You'll agree eventually? Agree my ass, Second Pillar will never agree in his entire life."
He hated himself for not being able to give birth, and for not being able to do what all men in the world could do.
Inside Erzhuzi's house.
“Let’s hire a servant when we get home. My eldest brother misses our children, and my third brother wants money. They come over to beg for money from time to time. I’m afraid something will happen to you if I don’t keep an eye on you.”
They have the money to buy people; they've been saving money all these years, hoping to settle down in the county town and buy a small house there.
"Okay, then let's buy someone."
The noise outside was so loud that even though Guo hadn't left the house, she heard it all. For the child's safety, they needed to add another person to their family, a strong man.
"But if you bring a man to live with you, won't that damage my reputation?" Guo expressed her concern.
Even if a man and a woman are alone together all day, she is afraid of being gossiped about, because a woman's reputation is too important.
Erzhuzi slapped his forehead, extremely worried, "What should I do?"
He didn't care, he trusted his wife, but he couldn't stand the rumors. How could his wife face the villagers after they spread?
"How about we find a tough old woman? Aren't some old women supposed to know some martial arts? The third brother is actually alright. Over the years, he's only been asking for food and drink and stealing some money. He won't really hurt us. The main thing is that I'm afraid of the eldest brother."
He's a ruthless and cunning man; he's capable of anything for his own ends. I just want to be wary of him.
He's not very useful to bad people; anyone with a decent personality can subdue him.
Guo's analysis makes a lot of sense. Buying a man is probably not an option. He should buy a more capable woman instead. Even if she is more capable, at least he can rest assured.
"Okay, let's go look for them. If all else fails, we can grit our teeth and buy two people, a man and a woman, no one will gossip."
Guo was shocked. "Why do we need so many people? What kind of family are we? If we spend all our money, when will we be able to buy a house?"
Erzhuzi, holding the child, said, "Nothing is more important than your safety. I don't want to regret it later."
The older brother was genuinely afraid; he knew better than anyone how shameless this person was.
Guo remained silent. In truth, she was also afraid of Dazhuzi. He used to be a little better, but now he exuded a gloomy aura that made people feel uneasy even from a distance, and made them feel cold all over if they got close.
It is said that Pan would cry whenever she heard his name, and even if she knew he was going to make trouble for her, she would not dare to cause any trouble.
Sigh, don't they know what kind of people these are?
People also arrived at Zhao Dashu's house at this time.
The visitor was the Xiao clan chief. He had heard that the Zhao family's banquet was not only to celebrate Zhao Dashu's appointment as an official, but also to celebrate Xiao Lei's passing the imperial examination.
He fainted upon hearing the news.
Their Xiao clan produced a remarkable person, a scholar who passed the imperial examination. The Zhao family said that Xiao Lei was the only person in the entire county to pass the examination in more than ten years, and that he could become an official right now if he wanted to.
Good heavens! There's someone in the Xiao family who's destined for great things, but that person no longer belongs to the Xiao family.
If his ancestors knew, would they appear in his dreams in the middle of the night and curse him to death?
When he is buried after his death and meets his ancestors, will they all beat him to death?
I guess so?
In order to have face to see their ancestors after death, to avoid being beaten, and even more so for the honor of their Xiao family, the clan leader shamelessly came to Zhao Dashu to demand the person back.
If Xiao Lei returns to the clan, he will definitely do things for the clan, and the clan will surely benefit a lot. The clan members will have more face when they go out in the future, and they will have someone to help them if something happens.
No matter what, Xiao Lei had to return to the Xiao clan, even if it meant kneeling before Zhao Dashu.
"Chief, did you come to see me for something?"
"Where's Lei Zi? I haven't seen him in a long time, I miss him quite a bit."
Zhao Dashu laughed himself to death. Miss him? He'd spent years in the village as a child, but the clan chief had never once come to visit. He didn't even miss him when he was right under their noses, but now he misses him when he's away?
