Chapter 1 The House of Bankruptcy

In the fourth year of Zhengde, in the back garden of a mansion covering a large area on South Street of Songjiang Fu.

"Hey~, hey......"

In the cold wind, a group of topless coolies were sweating hot, desperately pulling up a piece of rockery weighing several tons, and the many wooden simple pulleys on it made a painful moan of 'squeak ~ squeak ~', and finally let the heavy stone slowly leave the ground under the desperate drag of many coolies.

At this time, the special flatbed truck that had been prepared next to it was immediately pushed under the rockery, and then the coolies slowly loosened the rope and carefully put the rockery on the car, and then the coolies pulled the rope in front of the car and slowly moved to the outside of the garden.

"Be careful, this stone is worth hundreds of taels, and if it is broken, not only will you not be able to afford it, but Young Master Ben will have to jump into the river with it!" At this time, a young man in a moon-white robe walked in from outside the garden, and when he saw the coolies pushing the cart, he immediately showed a bright smile and said.

It's not so much a young man who came in, but a teenager, because the other party looks fifteen or sixteen years old at most, and his sword eyebrows are very handsome, but this young man's eyebrows have a kind of old age that does not belong to his age, so when people look at these eyes, they will feel that the other party is older than their actual age.

"Zhou Dashao, rest assured, these dozen brothers are all top strong, and they will definitely not break your things!" Seeing that this young man took the initiative to joke with them so enthusiastically, the foreman who was directing next to him also smiled heartily.

"Hey, don't call it Da Shao, now who doesn't know what to do in the entire Songjiang Mansion, our Zhou family's business has collapsed, and my family has been sold out by me, and now Zhou is penniless, I can't say that in a few days, I have to ask my brother for a living!" The young man, known as Zhou Dashao, said with a smile again.

When the foreman heard this, he hurriedly said a few words, but seeing the other party's happy appearance, he was muttering to himself in his heart: Everyone said that Zhou Dashao used to be a prodigy, and he was admitted to Xiucai at a young age, but now the Zhou family's business has collapsed, and he still owes a lot of debts, but whenever he sees each other in the past few days, he is always smiling.

For the suspicion in the hearts of the foreman, Wang Jie, if he shouldn't call him Zhou Zhong now, he didn't care at all, he thought that he must have drowned if he fell into the sea, but he didn't expect that when he opened his eyes, he came to the Ming Dynasty hundreds of years ago, and became a rich young master, but unfortunately he was born without the life of a young master, he had just been a young master for a few days, but he got the unfortunate news that his father's ship went to sea encountered a big storm, and the ship was destroyed and people died.

It doesn't matter if Daddy is dead, anyway, this brand new Zhou Zhong doesn't have much of an impression of that cheap daddy. But the key is that there are still a lot of goods on the ship, and their Zhou family's business has been affected over the years.

Zhou Zhong is the sister-in-law of the Zhou family and the only son, and his mother died early, and there are two younger sisters below, but they are half-sisters, they are all born of Zhou Chong's father's concubine, so now he is the only man in the family who can be in charge. Faced with this situation, Zhou Zhong had to step forward.

Zhou Chong's father is named Zhou Hai, the Zhou family is an outsider in Songjiang Mansion, and only moved here more than ten years ago, Zhou Hai makes a living from business, and has a lot of shops under his name, in addition, the imperial court's sea ban policy has been relaxed a lot in recent years, so the Zhou family also secretly went to sea to smuggle. In fact, not only the Zhou family, but all the famous rich people in Songjiang Mansion will have some smuggling in their business.

Zhou Hai accumulated a lot of wealth by doing business and became the richest man in Songjiang Mansion, but he didn't want his son to make a living in business, after all, in the Ming Dynasty, reading and scientific research was the right thing. So he let his son Zhou Chong study since he was a child, and asked a famous gentleman to teach, and Zhou Chong also lived up to expectations, he was extremely smart since he was a child, and he drew inferences from each other, and soon became a prodigy, and he was admitted to Xiucai last year, when Zhou Chong was only fourteen years old.

And just when everyone thought that the Zhou family was going to produce a talented man, and even might become an official eunuch in the future, the young Zhou Chong had a serious illness, during which he fainted several times and wanted to die, and when he woke up at the last time, the original Zhou Chong had been replaced by a young man named Wang Jie, from the twenty-first century.

After Zhou Hai died unexpectedly, the Zhou family suffered such a drastic change, if it was replaced by the previous prodigy Zhou Chong, who was actually a nerd, it is estimated that he would not be able to cope with it, and he might even be forced to hang himself by those creditors.

But now this week is different, from the later generations of his real name Wang Jie, high school parents died in a car accident, relying on the savings left by his parents and his own efforts to work, the most Lu later graduated from a second-class undergraduate university computer science department, originally worked in an IT company in Shanghai, the salary is not low, and even he sold the house in his hometown, and then paid a down payment in Shanghai, the rest of the mortgage for a small house, everything looks very good.

It's a pity that Wang Jie later couldn't get used to his boss molesting the female employees of the company, and also discriminated against him as a so-called 'outsider', as a result, his anger accumulated to a certain extent, and he beat his boss on the spot, and not only lost his job, but was also detained for a period of time.

After freedom, Wang Jie wanted to find a job again, but God seemed to be joking with him, he couldn't find a job for a few months, and then he didn't have much money in his hand, and the bank's mortgage was like a ghost, and Wang Jie was desperate, and he was introduced by a friend he met in the detention center, relying on his own kung fu since he was a child, and his skills were relatively agile, and he began to do some gray industries, such as helping people watch the field, asking for debts, smuggling boats, etc., although it seems that these jobs are not very on the table, But the money came very quickly, even higher than when he was working.

It is in this situation that Wang Jie has changed from an IT migrant worker to a gray group of people who are neither black nor white, doing some work between legal and illegal. In fact, Wang Jie's idea is very simple, he wants to pay off the money for the house first, and then save some money, then he will wash his hands and not dry it, it is best to find a proper job, if he can't find it, he will do some small business by himself, and then talk about a girlfriend to get married and have children, this is Wang Jie, an ordinary person's dream.

It's a pity that Wang Jie once helped people smuggle the boat, the buyer and the seller did not agree with each other, and they fought on the spot, Wang Jie in the chaos was extraordinary, and cut down seven or eight thugs in a row, but unfortunately he was kicked into the water after the most lucrative time, and as a result, he was drowned in the sea without knowing the nature of the water, and when he woke up again, he had come to the Ming Zhengde period, and his identity also became a rich young man known as a prodigy, but it was a pity that the young master's body ran away from the hall, and he became a bankrupt young master in just a few days.

It is precisely because of the experience of the previous life, so although Zhou Chong in this life does not have the talent of the original Zhou Chong, but when dealing with the debts owed by the Zhou government, he seems to be extremely organized, after all, he has paid off the debts for the bank for a lifetime in his previous life, although he has not been able to pay off until he died, but he has also exercised a calm mentality. Although the creditors who come to the door now are fierce, it is a piece of cake compared to the banks that are so life-threatening in later generations.

First of all, Zhou Zhong first handled the funeral of the cheap father, and then made a count of the debts they owed and the assets of the Zhou Mansion, and he was very sad to find that the amount of debts was just a little more than the assets of their Zhou Mansion, that is, after he paid off the debts, the Zhou Mansion not only had nothing left, but also owed some foreign debts.

Although this discovery made Zhou Zhong quite frustrated, but life always has to go on, so he cheered up and sold the property of the Zhou Mansion that should be sold, the mortgage that should be mortgaged, and even the things in the Zhou Mansion began to be sold, such as the rockery that was just transported from the garden, which was worth hundreds of taels of silver, and the gold and silver jewelry of the ladies in the house were also in the ranks of sale, which was in charge of Aunt Zhao, the mother of Zhou Chong's little sister, and it was estimated that it should be collected by now.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhong turned around and walked towards the inner house, his cheap father had four concubines, among them, in addition to Aunt Wang, who gave birth to the eldest sister Bang'er, Aunt Zhao gave birth to the younger sister Duo'er, and there were two young Aunt Han, who were a pair of sisters, only twenty years old this year, and had not yet given birth to children.

Speaking of which, Aunt Wang entered the door at the earliest, so she should also be in charge of affairs in the house, but Aunt Wang was born in a small family, and she is honest and honest, so she is really not suitable for running a family, but Aunt Zhao was born in a clean family, and her temperament is also shrewd and capable, so after she entered the door, she has been managing the inner house of the Zhou Mansion.

The Zhou family used to be the leading rich family in Songjiang Mansion, the house was built very magnificently, the inner house and the outer house were separated, covering a considerable area, with the estimation of Zhou Zhong, at least a dozen acres, the courtyard before and after was built with a lot of gardens, and the decoration inside and outside the house was also very luxurious, and even some places could be called luxurious, but unfortunately, now this luxurious Zhou Mansion has been dilapidated.

The antiques, vases and other things used as decorations in the living room and the inner house were all taken to pay off debts, and the furniture such as tables and chairs were also sold out, and even the marble carved horns of the town house on the roof were sold by Zhou Chong.

However, although the Zhou Mansion was sold out, it is a pity that the debts outside still cannot be paid off, and although some of the remaining debts are not much, with the current situation of the Zhou Mansion, I don't know if Lu Dao can be repaid. In addition, all the shops in Zhoufu are gone, and the fields are sold out, so it can be said that Zhoufu does not have any income now.

In addition, what is even worse is that in the previous life, Zhou Chong was a single, and the whole family was not hungry when one person fed. But now he has four aunts and two younger sisters to support, and these people together have six mouths, which is much more difficult than feeding himself.

Together, these troubles can be very distressing for an individual. But Zhou Chong was a little frustrated that he couldn't live a few more days as a young master, but he was always very optimistic afterwards, because for him who was reincarnated and reborn, all of this now belongs to the original Zhou Chong, and his life was already dead, but now he occupies someone's body and comes back to life, which is equivalent to God giving him a chance to live again, so now it is very normal for God to take away some things that belong to the original Zhou Chong.

Besides, God is still very merciful, for example, it didn't take away all the things in Zhou Chong, at least he still has a big mansion now, which is countless times stronger than the small house of dozens of square meters mortgaged in the previous life, and the land under the house belongs to him completely, so he doesn't have to worry about any bullshit for 70 years.

In addition, compared to being alone in the previous life, God also left Zhou Chong a few relatives, such as Aunt Wang, although she is honest, but she cares about him very much, and treats him as her own son, and there are two lovely sisters, one is a four-year-old little Lori, and the other is a thirteen-year-old Lori, and she likes to stick to him the big brother the most.

Remembering that in his previous life, Zhou Chong was also fifteen years old, his parents died in a car accident, and since then, Zhou Chong has never felt the warmth of the family, and now God not only gave him a chance to be reborn, but also gave him a mutilated, but very warm family, all of which made Zhou Chong feel very satisfied.

Zhou Zhong walked briskly through the courtyards in front of him, except for the cold wind, there was no sound, and the people had already been dismissed by him, making the whole mansion lose popularity all of a sudden, if it was night, ordinary timid people really didn't dare to stay here.

However, when Zhou Chonggang walked to a small courtyard in the inner house, that is, the courtyard where Aunt Zhao lived, he suddenly heard a burst of crying in the main hall of the courtyard.
