Mrs. Sun raised her hand and twisted Zhou Huailin, “You want to rebel too? How can you talk to your big brother?”

Zhou Huailin’s eyes turned red, “If someone rumors about my Yao’er like that tomorrow, I don’t care who he is. I will directly stab him with a knife.”

After a pause, Zhou Huailin looked at Zhou Huaihai. His voice was cold and sarcastic, “Big brother, you followed Qing today, right?”

Zhou Huaihai’s face instantly heated up, and his gaze dodged away.

Zhou Huailin pulled his wife and daughter to leave.

Seeing Lao San red-eyed, Old Zhou got up in a hurry.

Zhou Ping, who his father did not pull, went up and hugged Old Zhou’s leg. He looked up and stared blankly, “Grandfather, is it true that my father and Second Uncle are bought to the family as long-term workers?”

Old Zhou’s heart ached with these words.

However, Zhou Ping added another sentence.

“Grandfather, did you ask Eldest Uncle to apologize to Second Uncle because you think Eldest Uncle was wrong? Or is it because my Eldest Sister stated in the future that she won’t give money to Eldest Uncle, and you are afraid that Eldest Uncle won’t have any money to spend?”

Old Zhou ……

That  Zhou Ping’s clean pair of eyes made his old face hurt.

He turned to Zhou Huaihai and angrily reprimanded, “Thanks to your years of studying, you still did not have a perception of a child.”

When Zhou Ping spoke, Zhou Huaihai reacted.

If Zhou Qing were serious, the Second House would leave their share completely unattended, and the Third House would follow the same example ……

What about their family?

How could they eat and drink?

The little money in the village school was insufficient for him to spend on himself.

This matter was severe, “Father, I’m going to make amends to Second Brother.”

But Mrs. Sun pulled Zhou Huaihai, “Why go? As long as I am here, you will not be wronged.”

Slap!

Old Zhou threw a slap at Mrs. Sun’s face.

“Do you have to break up this family to be satisfied!?”

Mrs. Wang was so frightened that she almost cried out again.

She married into the Zhou family for so many years, but it was the first time she saw her husband’s hands.

Seeing this, Zhou Huaihai immediately pulled Mrs. Wang and left.

In the background, one could hear Mrs. Sun’s bawling voice and Old Zhou’s angry rebuke.

Zhou Huaihai knocked on the Second House’s door, but Zhou Qing and Zhou Huaishan ignored him. Zhou Huaihai spoke a few unpleasant words behind the door and left.

A farce ended, and the village knew that the Zhou’s Second was better at writing than the Zho’s Eldest.

In Zhou Qing’s case, it was a blessing in disguise.

Now her father could be more confident in studying.

Even the clan elder encouraged him!

“Daughter, how was my performance today?” Zhou Huaishan looked like he was begging for praise.

Zhou Qing laughed, saying, “It’s a good thing no one noticed your legs.”

Zhou Huaishan said proudly, “If my daughter is being bullied, I’ll break my leg and go beat up the bastard.”

Zhou Huaishan’s phrase “My daughter” was very affectionate.

Zhou Qing looked at him.

Zhou Huaishan was so lucky that he laughed, “I originally had eight sons at home and dreamed of a daughter.”

Zhou Qing …… Poof.

“Daughter, you have not been bullied into the town, right?”

Zhou Qing shook her head and told Zhou Huaishan the ins and outs, “You should not mention that poem to people in the future.”

Zhou Huaishan listened with an expression even more serious than Zhou Qing’s.

“Daughter, fortunately, you chose the largest bookstore in the county. Otherwise, the silver from the poem would not be enough to pay for our lives. The poem is too tempting. In the future, unless necessary, we should not sell it.”

In the capital, he saw more than how the big stores suppressed the small stores.

If the small store had no powerful background, they dare not have used it alone after getting something unique. They had to join hands with the big store, lest the big store would do something about it and take care of it.

After instructing Zhou Qing, Zhou Huaishan laughed and said, “Daughter went to the city and earned silver. Have you brought a gift to Dad?”

Zhou Qing chuckled.

She took a copy of the Analects, “Would you like to read it?”

Zhou Huaishan burst out with a miserable scream, “Daughter, did you and I have a grudge?”

Like a schoolboy, that appearance got ten sets of volumes as a birthday gift.

Zhou Qing couldn’t help herself, “Before I left, I asked you to write the Analects. Have you finished writing?”

Zhou Huaishan’s miserable scream came to an abrupt halt.

Zhou Qing ……

“Where’s the homework? No, where’s the Analects?”

Zhou Huaishan dawdled, dawdled, dawdled, and finally turned out a piece of paper.

In one day’s work, he wrote at the top: The Analects of Confucius.

Zhou Qing was feeling a little out of breath.

“A whole day, and you’ve only written these words?”

Zhou Huaishan looked down and rubbed his fingertips, “I haven’t adapted to learning yet.”

“Then, are you accustomed to farming?”

Zhou Huaishan craned his neck, “You’re threatening me again.”

“It’s good that you know it’s a threat, write!”

Zhou Huaishan grimaced, “Fierce, careful not to get married.”

Zhou Qing then hummed, “Don’t worry. Before you become an official, I won’t marry someone.”

In other words, she would push you to study every day.

Zhou Huaishan suddenly leaned back his head, filled with eyes of despair.

Why did he look forward to a daughter? Eight sons would have been better!

After despair, Zhou Huaishan slyly looked toward Zhou Qing, “Daughter, I dreamed of a man today and what my future son-in-law looks like. He said he wanted to invite me to eat chicken ……”

Zhou Qing ……

“Write! I am now going to speak to my Third Uncle. If you can’t finish writing three sheets of paper when I return, I won’t give you chicken tonight. I’ll eat, and you’ll watch.”

Zhou Huaishan ……

The Third House.

When Zhou Qing entered, the family was sitting on the bed talking. Mrs. Zhao’s red eyes showed that she had cried.

When she saw her enter, Zhou Yao immediately jumped off the bed.

“Sister.”

Mrs. Zhao wiped her tears and looked toward Zhou Qing, “Qing is here.”

“Third Uncle and Third Aunt, I have something to discuss with you.”

“The matter of family separation?” Mrs. Zhao immediately said.

The Third House had always wanted to divide the family and made many complaints, but because Zhou Huaishan was too honest and pinched to death by Mrs. Sun, the Third House failed to do so.

So when Zhou Qing started, the Third House didn’t immediately follow but temporarily waited to see.

Zhou Qing shook her head, “I want to do some small business, and came to ask Third Uncle to work with me.”

“What business?” Zhou Huailin was a little surprised.

“Every year in the mid-autumn harvest, every family has to put big red letters on the grain tanks and granaries. I want to sell big red letters. These days I’ve been wandering around the county and looking for a suitable business. I thought we’d try a little business of our own.”

Thankfully, the original host had a good brain.

This was the original host’s idea, except the host planned to wholesale the big red letters from the store and pull them to the village to sell.

The price difference.

Now she didn’t have to wholesale; her father could write.

Zhou Huailin and Mrs. Zhao looked at each other.

The big red letter was a square piece of paper on which to write the abundance of the harvest.

Earlier, Qing returned with a roll of red paper and asked Yao’er to help send it back to her room.

As for the characters, Zhou Huaishan could write.

Zhou Huailin smiled bitterly, “This is your father’s work, and you bought back the paper and pencil. Third Uncle does not have a copper plate, so how can I work with you?”

Play

Unmute

He did not have a coin.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so eager to split the family.

He wanted to save money.

Zhou Qing laughed, “Third Uncle, Third Aunt, I’m a girl. Selling them from village to village, what if I meet a bad guy?”

Zhou Ping knelt on the bed and patted his father’s shoulder, “My father can protect Big Sister.”

Zhou Qing nodded, “That’s the point. Third Uncle and I will sell together, and my father will write. We will share the money evenly after deducting the cost.”

After a pause, Zhou Qing looked at Zhou Ping.

“My father is teaching Ping to recognize words. He will teach Ping to write the character “Feng” tomorrow. When Ping knows how to write, he can also write with my father so that Ping can also have a share of the money.”

As soon as Zhou Ping heard this, without saying a word, he jumped off the bed and put on his shoes, and ran out.

“I’m going to find Second Uncle.”
