Chapter 357 Broken Leg

Zhulan thought clearly in her heart, but she was still angry. She just arrived in Lizhou City and became an official. The era when concubines were legal in ancient times was really terrible.

Boss Zhou's face is also dark. If his mother didn't tell the truth, he didn't think about it, and he thought about how many older people the family confirmed to send.

Boss Zhou pursed his lips, and mother followed father all the way to come. Didn't these people poke mother's heart? Just wait, father cares about mother so much, this father must have remembered it!

Yazi knew at a glance that the apology was useless, so he wanted to go back and tell his boss, and wait for the boss to come to the door, anyway, he was also obeying the situation.

Mrs. Li followed Mother into the house, and now she doesn't like maids. She used to be glad that her status changed, but she never thought that there would be danger after changing her status. "Mother, can't we not have a girl in our family?"

Zhulan laughed, "Don't worry, no one cares about the boss right now."

Apart from being the eldest son, the eldest son can do nothing else. If it is the third eldest son Changlian or the eldest son Changzhi, someone will be more concerned about it.

Li's heart tightened, "Mother, what is it that you don't like now?"

"It depends on what level your father's official position has been promoted to."

With a high official position, even if Boss Zhou is useless, there are still many eyes on Boss Zhou.

Mrs. Li was anxious, "Mom, what should I do? I'm not pretty, I have a loud voice, and I'm fat. I can't do anything else except cook. Will the head of the family despise me?"

It's no wonder that the head of the family has fallen asleep recently, and hasn't spoken to her for a long time. When Mrs. Li got nervous, she completely forgot that there was no one in the family. Boss Zhou was alone to support three people. She was simply tired and out of energy.

Bamboo Orchid, "..."

Mrs. Li really understands herself, but she really needs to solve the problem, this is Zhou Shuren, and in the future it will be a few sons.

When Boss Zhou came in to get the silver, he heard Li talking about himself. Hearing Li's fearful voice, he felt very uncomfortable. He is just an ordinary person. He disliked Mrs. Li, and Mrs. Li bore children for him. He is a man of conscience, and he made a mental note to have a good talk with Mrs. Li at night.

Boss Zhou knocked on the door, "Mom, I'm here to get the money."

Zhulan was interrupted by Mrs. Li and forgot to take the money, so she took out two silver bills and handed them to the boss. Although she didn't ask the price, Yazi didn't dare to lie to the officials.

The money is enough, "You come back after changing the deed, and by the way, ask if there is any land and mountain land nearby. Mother wants to buy some land and mountain land."

Boss Zhou took the bank note, "Mom, I wrote it down."

Zhulan waited for Boss Zhou to leave, and she still wanted to appease Mrs. Li, "Don't scare yourself, I'll put the words here, we don't have a concubine in our family, whoever dares to take a concubine, I'll let your father break whose leg Get rid of the Zhou family again."

Li Shi was spinning around in a hurry and stopped immediately, "Mother, really?"

"When did my words not count?"

Mrs. Li grinned, her mother-in-law always keeps her word, as long as her mother-in-law has her words, she will not be afraid that the head of the family will have ulterior motives, "Mother, you are so kind."

Zhulan just likes Mrs. Li, look, she is happy too quickly, "Don't accompany me, you weigh a few dishes at noon, and send them to the yamen when the boss comes back."

Mrs. Li was a little embarrassed, "Mother, there are only bacon and sausages to sell at home, and there are no other vegetables. The head of the house wants to go to the market in the morning to see if there are any vegetables, but there are no signs of people in the market."

Zhu Lan said: "Now there are more servants in the family, let Er Yue take people to Chuanzhou to buy things tomorrow."

Mrs. Li stopped thinking about it, "Mom, then I'll go cook."

"Wait a minute, kill two more hens, and I'll get you ginseng later. One of the chickens sent to the Yamen will be made into ginseng chicken soup, and the remaining one will be stewed with chicken and mushrooms. We will eat it ourselves."

Mrs. Li lacked everything in her stomach. The journey was too hard. She was always thinking about the hen, but her mother-in-law didn’t speak, so she didn’t dare to mention it. Now her mother-in-law wanted to eat, her mouth was drooling, and she responded loudly, “Hey .”

Xuehan waited for the sister-in-law to leave, then silently walked to Mother's side and hugged Mother's waist, "Mother, don't be angry."

Zhulan smiled, still being careful as a girl, "I'm not angry anymore."

This one just happened too suddenly, she just couldn't control her emotions for a while.

Xuehan bit her lip, the third sister-in-law's father still has a concubine, but the concubine has no children and is nestled in her mother's arms, "Mother, will my father change in the future?"

"Won't."

Zhulan's tone was firm, not only because she and Zhou Shuren were tied together by a rope, but also because she believed in Zhou Shuren.

Listening to her mother's heartbeat, Xuehan gradually felt at ease. The relationship between father and mother is so good, no one else will appear, so she hugged her mother's waist tightly, "Yeah."

Zhulan patted Xuehan's back, and after a while, the girl fell asleep in her arms, touching Xuehan's small face, and the girl was exhausted from the rush, and the baby fat on her face It's all gone, and the little girl's facial features are also open. Fortunately, the ten-year-old girl is not too heavy, otherwise she would not be able to hold her. She put Xuehan on her, covered her with a small quilt, and the little girl slept very deeply. .

The corner of Zhulan's lips curled up, it felt good to raise a child.

Zhulan still has work to do. Counting the family's money, the capital bought two houses, some jewelry and wood, and spent 5,500 taels, which was credited to the account and sold 40 mu of land in Pinggang for 4,000 taels. He sold the house in Nancheng for 6,000 taels, and received 10,000 taels.

The cost of coming to Lizhou City is 1,000 taels for a house, 400 taels for the carriage, food, etc., and 200 taels for the boss. More than fifty taels.

Zhulan put down the account book at ease, the money seems to be a lot, she will spend a few more in a few days, the money is really not worth the money, the money in the family is still too little!

When Boss Zhou came back, Zhulan signaled to keep her voice down. Boss Zhou saw that the girl was sleeping in her parents' house, and thought to herself, this is the only way the younger sister will be treated like this, so she said in a low voice: "Mother, this is a servant's contract of prostitution." , the dentist expressed his apology, the lowest price given, plus the money for the contract exchange, only spent a total of one hundred and fifty taels, and there are still fifty taels left."

Zhulan hummed, "Have you heard about the land?"

Zhou Laodao: "There are many land sellers nearby, most of them are selling one or two mu of land for money to live on. The land near Zhoucheng has been bought up, but no one likes the mountainous land. There are quite a few mountainous lands, and the price is very cheap, one tael of silver per mu of land, and if you buy enough fifty mu, you will get ten mu of wasteland.”

Zhulan thought to herself that she didn't know if the wasteland she gave was included in the 200 mu of land, and when Zhou Shuren came back, she asked, "I see, go get busy."
