The three widows remained silent, restrained their minds, and at the same time followed Old Man Zhou's words and said:

"That's good, gambling, nine out of ten bets. It's not easy for us to have this family business, but we can't come nonsense. You know that Liu Pan'er, but it's ruthless, she doesn't allow gambling, so she definitely doesn't allow gambling. So many powerful people came to defect, there were so many people under your command, you gambled, and if you were caught, you would not only be beaten half to death, but also driven out of Jixiang Town. ”

That's what Old Man Zhou was afraid of, "I understand, I know, don't worry, I know what to do." ”

"You're going to have to remember for me, don't gamble." The third widow reminded, "If you are sick, or you lose money in business, I am willing to carry it with you, and I don't dislike it." If you gamble, I won't live with a gambler for the rest of my life. You've memorized it for me, and I'm the talker. ”

When Old Man Zhou heard the words of the three widows, not only was he not angry, but he was very angry, this halfway husband and wife still had a little friendship, "Okay, I know, definitely don't gamble." ”

Zhao Laolai has been living in Jixiang Town for a few days, and has taken a few turns in Jixiang Village, Jixiang Town, and really saw the wealth of this village. The people who say they are close to each other are full of lights and are very lively.

Except for the fact that there are a little more people patrolling and a little more powerful, there is nothing special about it.

He wasn't going to open a casino around here for too long, and he would leave after making a profit of one or two thousand taels of silver, so he didn't think it was too risky.

Zhao Laolai went to Old Man Zhou again, but Old Man Zhou still did not agree.

In the end, Zhao Laolai was angry and found Old Man Zhou in private, "Brother Zhou, the place to open the casino is ready, and we will start paving the stalls immediately." Brother Zhou, come over and help. ”

Old man Zhou saw Zhao Laolai playing with a dagger in his hand, and he was so frightened that his back was cold, and his forehead was sweating.

If he didn't open a casino with Zhao Laolai, Zhao Laolai would kill him.

Because he knew about Zhao Laolai's opening of the casino, in order not to leak the news, he either did it together or killed people.

Zhao Laolai has done such a thing.

Old Man Zhou wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then smiled dryly, "Brother Zhao, Wishing you prosperity!" Just ......"

The dagger in Zhao Laolai's hand was thrown the table, "To do it, or not to do it?" Give me the right word, and I'll be able to arrange the rest of the matter. ”

Old Man Zhou was frightened, his face turned red, ",, I'll make a fortune with Brother Zhao." ”

When Zhao Laolai heard this, he smiled, "Hehe, that's right!" Your tavern is a good place for us to solicit customers. This is up to you, and you're only responsible for bringing people over. You don't have to worry about anything else. ”

Old man Zhou didn't have a choice, and finally nodded, "Okay, whatever Brother Zhao says, I'll do it." ”

Zhao Laolai patted Old Man Zhou's shoulder and smiled harmlessly, "That's right!" ”

Zhao Lao Lai was unscrupulous and swaggered away.

Old man Zhou lowered his head, his eyes were resentful, would he be threatened by Zhao Laolai in the future?

At this time, Old Man Zhou walked to the main road, and when he saw the people in the town, he was beaming with joy and talking.

Old man Zhou collected his thoughts and asked the old lady who was selling vegetables, "What are you talking about?" ”

The old lady who sold vegetables helped people pick vegetables as she spoke, "Mrs. Derui sent someone to inform me just now, and I will be back in five days." General Li also came back this time, and he was promoted, the official of Sanpin, who is in charge of all the soldiers on our Jiangnan Road. ”

"Yes, that's a big official! It can manage tens of thousands of people! The ancestral tomb of the Li family is smoking, and there is such an amazing character. ”

"General Li is amazing, and our Lady Dre is also powerful. Talented and beautiful, a match made in heaven. ”

……

Hearing everyone's praise for Liu Paner and Li Yuanqing along the way, Old Man Zhou had an idea.

Rather than being threatened all the time, taking the wrong path, and finally being kicked out of Jixiang Town by someone whose deeds were revealed, or losing his life, it is better to abandon the darkness and turn to the light from the beginning.

Although he had done wrong things before, he had changed his ways.

If you can make meritorious contributions, there may be a way to live.

Anyway, his daughter-in-law is Li Yuanqing's own sister.

Even if the relationship is average, the blood relationship cannot be broken.

These high-ranking officials will also restrain their relatives around them, and even send people to keep an eye on him.

After thinking about the pros and cons, Old Man Zhou made up his mind that if he wanted to turn defeat into victory, he had to make good arrangements and plans if he wanted to turn the crisis into safety.

After the relaxed old man Zhou came back, he said to the third son who was busy with work: "Yingniang's third brother and third sister-in-law are coming back soon, and now the Chinese New Year is approaching, you go to the county seat to buy some good things, prepare a New Year's gift, and send them over." ”

When Zhou Laosan heard this, he was slightly stunned, "I heard that Yingniang's relationship with his third brother and sister-in-law is not good, even if we prepare generous gifts now, we may not be able to get benefits from it." ”

When Old Man Zhou heard his son's words, he glared at him and felt that his son's head was an elm pimple.

"Yingniang was still young, and she was instigated by her unreliable father and mother, so she had conflicts with her third brother and third sister-in-law. Now she has married into our family, and she is the daughter-in-law of our Zhou family. ”

"This year, I have been honest and very diligent and obedient. Mrs. Drey's favorite person is Anfen, as long as we are obedient and interesting, we will be good with our family in terms of face. Don't be reluctant to spend money, you will go to my side to get a hundred taels of silver later, you can't save this thing for the New Year's gift."

When Zhou Laosan heard this, he felt that his father was right, and relatives should come and go often.

Usually he does business with Mrs. Drey, and there is no contradiction with the amiable one.

Mrs. Dre is willing to pay for good things, as long as his goods are of good quality, Mrs. Dre never withholds money.

Zhou Laosan nodded, "Dad, don't worry." I'm going to buy a decent New Year's gift and give it over. ”

Old man Zhou confessed, thinking of showing goodwill to Liu Paner and Li Yuanqing's family, and using their power to deal with Zhao Laolai.

"They have a lot of children in their family, and no matter the boys and girls, don't be left behind."

Zhou Laosan nodded in response, "Yes, Dad, I wrote it down." ”

When Zhou Laosan went to buy goods, he specially chose some good shops and bought some gifts from the county, ready to give them to his wife's third brother and third sister-in-law.

not only bought it for Liu Paner's family of six, but also bought it for Liu's mother and daughter. According to the relationship between relatives and relatives, Li Yingniang and Liu Paner's family, and Liu's mother and daughter have a similar relationship.

Since you are a relative, you can't favor one over the other.

Zhou Laosan came back, put the things away, and explained to Li Yingniang, "Yingniang, this is what my father and mother bought after I bought it." After a while, you will send it with me. ”

Li Yingniang shrunk her neck, "Why don't you go by yourself?" I used to be bad to my sister-in-law and two nieces, and when I went, they might not accept it. ”

When Zhou Laosan heard this, he smiled bitterly in his heart, "That's okay, I'll send it over, just do it with all your heart." In the past, you were young and instigated by your father. I believe that your sister-in-law and third sister-in-law will not hate you for too long, and you should not blame yourself. ”

Li Yingniang used to be selfish, and after experiencing being almost sold to the Qinglou by her biological parents, she understood a lot of things, and she became generous, and cherished her current life very much.
