Time flies, the New Year passed in a busy visit, and throughout the New Year, the children of the Zhou family got a lot of New Year's money, and the most generous one was the Chen family.

In the first month, the Li family received a letter from the Qi family, and the Xu family saw that Zhou Shuren gave a high price in terms of his future future, and bought out five hundred taels of silver at one time.

The five hundred taels will be in the hands of the Li family in mid-February, and the Li family will give it to Zhulan, and Zhulan will carefully buy an industry for the big house and three rooms.

Zhulan didn't take too far to buy, and bought two shops for Dafang in Sichuan City, half of the remaining silver bought land, half took out part of it to dig a pond to raise fish, and the rest of the silver money bought some wasteland to plant apple trees.

Most of the silver in the big house is Li family's own, when Zhulan bought it, it was directly written in the name of the Li family, and the field that the big house saved money to buy was written in the name of the boss.

Boss Zhou can already stand alone, and Boss Zhou can manage these fields well.

In the third room, most of the money is Dong's, and Zhulan didn't buy land, but all the shops he bought.

Chuanzhou City is because Lizhou City has built an apple state, and there are many apple trees in Chuanzhou, and Chuanzhou will get better and better in the future.

Zhulan also knows that Changyi went to buy a field and a shop by herself, Zhulan is really not willing to be partial, among the sons, the second child has too much thought, to be really selfish, Chang Lian is really not as good as Changyi.

Chang Lian is young, there is a possibility of correcting, she and Zhou Shuren have taught for a few years, although Chang Lian can not be said to be earth-shaking changes, but under a few heavy hands, the current Chang Lian, Zhulan and Zhou Shuren are satisfied.

On the contrary, Changyi, Zhulan and Zhou Shuren are strong, Changyi is obedient, even if he is afraid of her and Zhou Shuren, but once he has some confidence, Changyi will have his own ideas.

Now the three houses that have married have their own industrial income, and several houses have obviously undergone new changes.

Boss Zhou was more confident, and he didn't want to speak in front of Zhulan.

Zhou Lao Er doesn't have to be busy with the industry in Jiangnan at present, he is busy with his own industry, and he no longer cares about the rights in Zhou Lao's hands.

The newlywed couple of Dong and Changlian probably chatted, and Zhulan sometimes looked at them with sweetness.

In March, Li's belly was bigger, and while Zhulan was worried about Li's belly, she couldn't help but touch her belly, and there was still no news.

Zhulan sat by the window and looked out of the window, her mind drifting a little far away.

Liu Ya came in, "The main mother, the second wife's mother and the second wife's brother are here." ”

Zhulan came back to her senses, "The mother and brother of the second wife? ”

Liu Ya said: "Yes, the housekeeper has asked." ”

Zhulan was surprised, how could the Zhao family's mother, Fang, bring her son to Lizhou City? "No one else?"

Liu Ya thought of what she saw, "The main mother, there are only two of them, the mother of the second wife and the younger brother of the second wife, and there is no one else, and"

Zhulan felt that the Qian family didn't dare to treat the Fang family harshly, but the Fang family came alone with the child, this was an accident, "You said." ”

Liu Ya said: "The second wife's mother is very worn. ”

Zhulan pressed her eyebrows, "Isn't the second wife at home?" Yes, Changyi took the Zhao family out of the city this morning, you go and invite people over, and then send people outside the city to find the second master and the second wife to come back. ”

Liu Ya responded, "Hey! ”

Zhulan sat and waited for a while, Fang's family was carrying a broken burden in one hand, and holding her youngest son Qian Ke with the other, Zhulan withdrew her gaze and didn't wait for Zhulan to speak.

Fang's family cried, dropped his burden and pulled Qian Ke to kneel for Zhulan, "Mother-in-law, I can be regarded as having found Lizhou City." ”

Zhulan, "......."

Zhulan was speechless, Fang's dress was very broken, judging from Fang's mental state, Fang's didn't suffer, and Fang's is so good at hiding people, this dress is just to hide people's eyes.

Seeing that the mistress frowned, Liu Ya hurriedly said, "The mistress doesn't like to kneel, you are the mother of the second wife, please sit down." ”

Fang's body stiffened, and he said embarrassedly: "I'm excited for a while, too excited." ”

Zhulan motioned for Liu Ya to come over with some snacks, Zhulan looked at Fang's posture and suddenly didn't want to ask what happened, "It's been hard all the way, eat some snacks first." ”

Zhulan drank boiled water after speaking, yes, it is boiled water, in order to better nourish her body, she didn't drink any tea, she had been drinking boiled water for almost three months, even if she went out to visit, Zhulan would not drink more, just a sip.

Fang's heart regretted, regretting that he had pretended too much, Fang's answered, and he secretly looked at his mother-in-law, he hadn't seen her for almost two years, even if she had a good life, but the intrigue of the whole family still aged quickly.

On the other hand, the mother-in-law's appearance has not changed much, her bearing has changed a lot, she didn't look like a peasant woman before, but now she sits silently, she is a little timid when she wants to speak, and then look at her mother's clothes and jewelry, Fang's head is even lower.

Seeing that Fang's head was lowered, Zhulan said: "The second child and the Zhao family are going out today, they will not be able to come back for a while, you have worked hard all the way, you and the child will go to change and rest first, and we will talk about it in the evening." ”

Fang's mouth opened and closed again, she was a little afraid of her mother's momentum, she had beaten her in Pingzhou City, she was a little afraid, and now she was even more afraid, she seemed to have returned to the time when she was a person, and she didn't dare to breathe, "Thank you, mother." ”

Zhulan was really not enthusiastic, and the Fang clan came with calculations, "Hmm." ”

Zhulan waited for Liu Ya to leave with the Fang family, and continued to be in a daze, she wanted to write a letter to Old Man Lu, but she was not in a hurry.

It had been an hour since Zhou Lao Er and Zhao came back, and the two came to see Zhulan first, and in less than a quarter of an hour, the two returned to the main courtyard.

Zhulan saw Zhao's small movements, Zhao pulled Zhou Laoer's clothes, and Zhou Laoer stepped forward.

Zhou Lao Er was a little afraid to look at his mother's eyes, he and Zhao went back to know that his mother didn't ask his mother-in-law anything, but he looked at his mother's eyes, and he knew that his mother had guessed, "Mother." ”

Zhulan put down the book in her hand and didn't read any of them this time, "I'll listen, let's talk." ”

Zhou Lao Er said with little confidence, "Mother, Steward Qian died suddenly in the first month, and my mother-in-law couldn't stay in Qian's house anymore, so she came to join us." ”

Zhulan's eyes were disappointed, "I'll give you a chance to say it again." ”

Zhou Laoer's heart trembled, what he said was his mother-in-law's words, he knew that his mother-in-law didn't tell the truth, Zhou Laoer's eyes on his mother, and his heart chuckled, "Mother, me"

Zhao was anxious, and her mother-in-law asked Xianggong to say that she hadn't picked up her mother's face, and her mother's defection to her had made her unconfident, and she said the real reason, how should she gain a foothold in the Zhou family, "Mother, my mother thinks that Master Qian has passed away, she has nothing to do with the Qian family, and because she is worried about me, she has passed." ”
