Chapter 63: Alone

Zhang Mayyue's gaze met Zhang Yuelu's.

In Zhang Yuelu's eyes, Zhang May did not see the heartache, nor the anger, only deep exhaustion and helplessness.

Zhang May couldn't help but feel weak for a while.

"No wonder those old guys are not convinced, my brother is doing this behind my back, and I am still going to talk to those old guys about the new deal, how can people be convinced? Of course you're going to fight with me." Zhang Yuelu no longer looked at Zhang May, "If it's me, I also want to be unconvinced, why can't you Zhang Yuelu's brother can't?" It has been the case since ancient times."

Zhang May couldn't help but say: "Sister, I didn't do anything illegal, Deputy Mansion Master Xie is to strengthen the management of the port area and rectify some chaos in the port area, so this regulation has been promulgated, which is easy to manage, reasonable and legal, and no one can find fault with it."

"I know that there are loopholes in the law that can be exploited, so let's count you legal, but is it really reasonable?" Zhang Yuelu asked, "Even if it makes sense, why you?"

Zhang Wuyue innocently asked, "Why can't it be me? I can't do business in Nanyang because I'm your brother."

Zhang Yuelu slapped the table: "A good person who does not shy away from relatives, how many years have you been in business?" Is it more virtuous than those who have been trading for decades?"

Zhang May was also a little aggrieved and dissatisfied: "Sister, you and your brother-in-law are both young and have already become the chief, and your brother-in-law has even been promoted to Zhizhen immediately, and many of the seven generations of disciples are subordinates of the two of you, doesn't this better show that the level of ability does not depend on the age of the elderly?" Shall I not be able to do what you do?"

Zhang Yuelu really didn't expect Zhang May to be so eloquent, and he was speechless for a while.

Zhang May said again: "Sister, if I don't do it, someone else will do it. Don't talk about our Zhang family, let's just say that their Li family has always done this, and it is much more excessive than me, I don't know how much Taiping money I earned. As soon as Li Tianzhen made a move in the imperial capital, it was 10,000 Taiping money, and your brother and I can earn so little a month, and we can't even compare to other people's fur."

Zhang Yuelu said coldly: "Since you envy the Li family so much, then you should just go to the Li family!"

Zhang May shrank his neck and didn't dare to speak anymore. This is the taboo of the Zhang family, but they dare not talk nonsense.

Zhang Yuelu said, "Do you know how much silver a second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest has for a year? With the subsidy, the top day is about 10,000 Taiping money, and now you are opening your mouth to be 10,000 Taiping money, and you can top a second-grade Taiyi Taoist for a year a month, and you are safe and stable, without taking any risk, you say that you are blunt in your qualifications, and you can't take the road of a Taoist, so I ask you, why do you earn this Taiping money when you are blunt?"

This time it was Zhang May's turn to be speechless.

Zhang Yuelu continued, "What the Li family does, that's their business, we can't learn from them. You can't do that, my brother."

Zhang May couldn't help but said: "Sister, you want to be the master of the blue sky, I won't stop you, you and your brother-in-law want to reach the top of the Daomen, I can only be happy, and there is no reason to hold you back, but you can't watch my brother starve and be poor."

"Hungry? Poor?" Zhang Yuelu raised her voice, "Is it possible for such a big Zhang family to lack you to eat in one bite?"

Zhang May said: "There is no shortage of food for me, but we are a small sect, not as good as the children of the big sect, there is no entry, the Taoist grade is not high, and there is only a little silver every month, what is enough?" Even if you find a good match, you will be looked down upon."

Zhang Yuelu frowned: "What's the matter?"

Zhang May said in a low voice, "Last year, I met a girl, and at first, everything was fine. Although I am not angry, but my surname is Zhang, this surname is quite capable of bluffing, and I have a majestic sister and brother-in-law, even if I follow the light, everyone will look up to me."

"But after a long time of contact, it's not the same thing, every time you go out, you always have to spend some money, and there are some face-saving things, and you have to pay too much. At this point, I'm exposed, I don't have any money, I'm just a showman."

"She told me that she didn't want any dowry, but she didn't want to live in an old house in Shangqing Town with me, and she didn't want to be crowded with her in-laws in the future

Together, she wants to have her own house in Yujing Shangsanfang, otherwise ......."

Zhang Yuelu interrupted, "Otherwise, I'm going to leave you, right?"

Zhang May nodded.

Zhang Yuelu was silent.

Instead, Ke Qingqing said, "Gongzi Zhang, I am also a woman, and I still know a little about these methods. Listening to your description, I guess that girl is not from a wealthy family, right? How can a woman from a family talk about this? Let's just say that when our Chief Zhang and Chief Qi met, Chief Qi was poor and white, and the Taiping money on his body may not be able to make up enough for a big ticket, even now, Chief Qi has no money on him, and Chief Zhang has never mentioned these things."

Zhang was stunned.

Ke Qingqing was born in the Dijing Provincial Mansion, where there are many sophisticated people, and then said: "Women looking for men, in addition to what they really like, is to find someone who is stronger than themselves, don't look at equality for so many years, but it is still the same old, marry a man, marry a man, dress and eat. The slogan of equality is shouted louder than anyone else, and interests are not compromised. The so-called don't want a dowry is just a trick to retreat. Today's small house is a great gain for the future."

"As the old saying goes, you only run around all day to be hungry, and then you have to be full. Food and clothing are sufficient, and he thinks of a beautiful wife. Human desires always rise step by step. What did that girl come to you for in the first place? As long as she marries you, she is the Zhang family, and she is also the brother-in-law of Chief Zhang and Chief Qi, so it can be said that she has crossed the class and entered the upper echelons of the Daomen."

"But she later found out that the Zhang family is divided into large and small sects, and the children of the small sects do not have so many resources, and their status is not as high as they imagined. So she became dissatisfied, felt that she was subservient, thought that she had been deceived by you, so she began to change her face and make all kinds of demands on you, which in her opinion were all compensation. So she was right, and she took it for granted."

"There is also the same fierce competition between women, in essence, it is a money competition in the name of vanity, others have a pair of shoes for 300 Taiping yuan, and they must have it themselves, and other people's Taoist companions give a snow-white fox fur, and their own Taoist companions will also give it. Zhang Gongzi is still young and has no savings, so he can't meet her needs in this regard, which is also the reason."

"As for the so-called departure from you, it is just a temptation and a threat. Today you back down and compromised, tomorrow she will make trouble again, do you still have to compromise? Compromise will only make her look down on you more, if you retreat again and again without a bottom line, today is to buy a house, tomorrow will you have to put the house in her name? The day after tomorrow, do you want to ask Chief Qi and Chief Zhang to arrange another position for her? If you can't do it, I'll leave you?"

"With all due respect, this girl probably doesn't want to leave Zhang Gongzi, she just wants to take care of Zhang Gongzi, let Zhang Gongzi follow her, hold her, coax her, and get used to her. In my opinion, Zhang Gongzi is Chief Zhang's brother after all, and he is already the best candidate this girl can find, and she will not let go easily. Zhang Gongzi listened to my advice, if she mentions the separation again, she might as well agree directly, maybe she will take the initiative to save Zhang Gongzi."

Zhang May was silent for a while after listening to this, before smiling and saying, "Thank you Sister Ke for your guidance."

Zhang Yuelu said: "The words have been made very clear, immediately shut down your company, and then find a serious errand, do things in a down-to-earth manner, and be a man of your duty."

The smile on Zhang May's face gradually faded.

Zhang Yuelu naturally sensed the change in the atmosphere, but still asked, "Tianzhong, do you have any opinions?"

Zhang May suddenly shouted, "Of course I have an opinion. Sister, believe it or not, even if there is no matter for me, those old guys will still fight against you, even if all of our Zhang family goes to the street to beg for food, they still have to fight. It's not me who is holding you back. Sister!"

Zhang Yuelu said calmly, "I believe it."

"If you believe it, then why can't I do my business?" Zhang May became excited, "Sister, even if there is no woman's thing, am I just messing around like this? That's it for a lifetime? Money is heroic courage, I don't dare to ask for power, only a few inconsequential heroic courage, is it also wrong?"

Zhang Yuelu said in a deep voice: "A gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way. I didn't

I don't let you make money, I just let you do the right thing."

Zhang May changed his usual deferential appearance, and actually laughed out loud, almost laughing out of tears: "Sister, you are now developed, and you have entered the eyes of the Heavenly Master and his old man, and the Dazhen Mansion will allocate 100,000 Taiping money to you every year for you and your brother-in-law to spend, don't do it." The money is above board, of course you can stand on the dry shore, talk about morality, and stand and talk without backache. But I can't, I don't have that kind of treatment."

As soon as he said this, it was a bit of a tear.

Zhang Yuelu closed his eyes: "I don't deny this, but when I was your age, I also only had Taoist priest silver, and I was very poor, and I said the same thing at that time, and even more so."

Zhang May stopped laughing: "Sister, if I have a future like yours, I can bear it. Unfortunately, I don't have either."

Zhang Yuelu sighed, and her tone turned cold: "I'll only give you three days, that's all, you can do it."

Zhang May said coldly: "Since the chief deputy of the Borneo Provincial Government advocates that the real person has said so, I can only do it."

Zhang Yuelu opened his eyes: "Tianzhong!"

Zhang May smiled miserably: "Zhang Qingtian killed his relatives in righteousness, punished the gentleman according to the law, and became famous in the Lion City, this is the best ending."

"Zhang Yuelu, you should not have my brother, you will become a loner sooner or later."

After that, Zhang May turned around and left directly.

Zhang Yuelu didn't speak, just sat on the chair, speechless.

Ke Qingqing wanted to see off Zhang May, but stopped and looked at Zhang Yuelu.

She found that the boss, who had always been unstoppable, was crying silently.
