Chapter 56 Bad bamboo produces good bamboo shoots

Zhou Zhi's words successfully stunned Zhou Lingling.

Could it be that a good bamboo shoot has grown out of a bad bamboo?

In the original text, Zhou Zhi relied on his sister to help him advance from the scholar level to the juren level, and then to the jinshi level to become an official. It can be said that everything went smoothly. Although the book never described Zhou Zhi's negative situation, Zhou Lingling always felt that Zhou Zhi was the same as the other members of the Zhou family -

I like to watch others charge into battle while I say nothing and reap the benefits.

Although in the original body's memory, sometimes when Old Lady Zhou went too far, Zhou Zhi would speak up for her, but Zhou Lingling had always thought that this was hypocritical.

But now, listening to what this eldest cousin said, Zhou Lingling thought: Could it be that I have misunderstood this cousin?

Is the other person really a good person?

In comparison, Zhou Laoer and Chen were much calmer.

Zhou Lao Er said, "Zhi Ge'er, you are a scholar and always understand things. Your father, Third Uncle and I have come to this point. There is no need to talk about everything. I said that I would no longer have any contact with you in the future, and it was not just talk."

Zhou Zhi nodded hesitantly.

"Of course, it was my father and Third Uncle who did the wrong thing, and Second Uncle was helpless. But Second Uncle and Second Aunt have helped me a lot in the past, and I hope Second Uncle will give Ah Zhi a chance to repay them in the future."

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhou Laoer's calm face finally showed a hint of relief.

"Brother Zhi, just study hard. Since Qian has a job, your family will have someone to look after in the future."

"As for your second aunt and I, we don't expect anything in return. We just hope that you study hard and behave well..."

Chen added, "Studying is one thing, but you shouldn't be too frugal. I see you've lost a lot of weight since a few months ago."

Hearing these words, Zhou Zhi bowed deeply to Zhou Laoer and Chen Shi: "Thank you for your concern, Uncle and Aunt. I will definitely live up to the expectations of the two elders."

The uncle and nephew chatted for a while, just asking about the well-being of the elderly at home and whether he had any difficulties in studying recently.

Not long after, Zhou Zhi stood up and prepared to leave.

Chen said, "It's rare for Zhi'er to come here, why don't you have lunch at home before leaving?"

Zhou Zhi shook his head. "No need, Second Aunt. I came here with my sister. She's selling rouge in the West Market. I went to visit Second Uncle Chen at his house, but I didn't expect Second Uncle and his family had already moved here."

Zhou Laoer was just about to tell his nephew that this was their newly bought yard and that he could come visit often, but Chen spoke first.

"It's not right for our family of five to continue living at my mother's house. Your second uncle has saved some money working at the docks these past few months, so we'll rent this yard and live our own lives from now on."

Zhou Zhi nodded, thinking that what his second aunt said made sense, and he also said with concern:

"Uncle is not young anymore, so don't work too hard at the docks. Your health is the most important thing."

"If it really doesn't work out, if it really doesn't work out... there's always room for my second uncle and second aunt at home."

He is the eldest grandson of the Zhou family and will be the person in charge of the Zhou family in the future, so he can still take charge of this matter.

Chen nodded with some emotion and looked at him lovingly: "Zhi'er has grown up and become more sensible."

As she spoke, Chen took out a tael of silver from her sleeve and stuffed it into Zhou Zhi's pocket.

"Here, buy some pens and ink."

But this tael of silver was like burning charcoal in Zhou Zhi's hands, very hot.

He quickly returned the silver to his second aunt: "No, no, no, second aunt, I came here today just to visit you and second uncle, not... not..." to ask for the silver.

Chen held his hand holding the silver and said, "Second Aunt knows everything. Your parents are your parents, and you are you."

"Although your sister is selling rouge now, there are always gains and losses in business. You have such a big family at home. Take it, okay? Second uncle and second aunt can't help you with anything big, so they can only help you a little."

As she spoke, Chen suddenly thought of something, said to Zhou Zhi, "Wait a moment," and then quickly walked into the room.

Zhou Zhi, standing in the yard, holding a tael of silver, felt a strange feeling in his heart.

His second uncle and second aunt had a falling out with the family, and the whole family was almost kicked out, but they still cared for him as much as before...

Zhou Laoer patted his nephew's shoulder and smiled at him.

"Be a real man, don't be so obsessed with these little things. When you become successful in the future, will you still not recognize me as your second uncle?"

Zhou Zhi waved his hands repeatedly, saying firmly, "Of course not!"

"If I have such thoughts, just tell me..." May you be struck by lightning and die a miserable death.

Before he could finish his words, Zhou Laoer covered his mouth.

"Needless to say, Second Uncle believes in you."

At this time, Chen came out again with two strings of copper coins in her hand.

"Brother Zhi, it's time to give your grandmother the medicine money this month. Here are two hundred coins. Take it back to your grandfather, and we won't be leaving."

Seeing this, Zhou Zhi felt even more indescribable.

My grandmother was so bad to my second uncle's family in the past, but in the end, when she fell ill, she had to rely on my second uncle for support.

He wanted to say that the family had some income now, but he also knew that his parents would not be willing to spend a penny to buy medicine for his grandmother, so he gritted his teeth and accepted the money.

"Second Aunt..."

Chen smiled and said, "It's almost noon. I think Qian's party will be over soon. Let's go."

Zhou Zhi put the money away, bowed deeply to Zhou Laoer and Chen again, smiled at Zhou Lingling beside him, and then turned and left.

After everyone left,

After Zhou Laoer closed the gate, he asked his wife in confusion, "Wife, why didn't you let me tell my nephew that this was our newly bought yard?"

He was not like his father-in-law, who had acquaintances everywhere in Yunlai Town. He had been showing off his daughter's new yard to everyone during those days.

Zhou Laoer was also happy, but the people he knew were either workers at the dock or from Zhoujia Village, and he couldn't even find anyone to show off to.

The only person who knew that their family had moved to a new house was Zhou Daqin, and his wife even specifically told them not to tell anyone else when they returned to the village.

Hearing the silly question her father asked, Zhou Lingling silently rolled her eyes.

As expected, Zhou Lingling heard her mother say, "Zhou Laoer, are you stupid? Even if Zhou Zhi is an upright person and has no feelings for our little courtyard, what about the rest of the Zhou family?"

"How long have you been in town and you've already bought a new yard? How much money have you and I made? If the Zhou family finds out, we'll be in a lot of trouble!"

Zhou Lingling nodded silently, that’s right, her mother was right!

Zhou Lao Er also nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, yes, my wife is really thoughtful. I am too narrow-minded. My wife is smart..."

"I must have practiced eight hundred words of good fortune to marry a good wife like you..."

Zhou Lingling: “…”

Just talk, why are you showing off your love?

Unable to bear it any longer, Zhou Lingling turned around and went to another main room. She wanted to go see the handsome guy to refresh her eyes!
