Chapter 169: The path you choose, you have to walk on your knees

Mrs. Zhou knew that there was a knife on the head of the color word, and she would definitely make a mistake of principle, if she didn't teach Zhou Ming a hard lesson when she made this kind of mistake for the first time, and let him know that his mistakes could be changed, once Zhou Ming indulged in this kind of mistake in the future and couldn't extricate himself, and lingered in that kind of place all day long, his only son would be ruined.

It is precisely because of this idea in her heart that between the two choices of protecting the calf and standing by, Mrs. Zhou decisively chose the latter, and even when Zhou Zhou Ming was planning to make a mistake and call Fu, she still wanted to stand up and stop Zhou Zhou Ming from making mistakes again and again.

As a result, Lin Ajiao stood up first and snatched away what Mrs. Zhou wanted to do.

Mrs. Zhou felt a sense of loss in her heart, but she also felt very relieved, after all, Lin Ajiao was able to do this, which showed that she still had a place for Zhou Ming in her heart, as long as Zhou Zhou Ming could change her past, this daughter-in-law could still stay.

After all, the daughter-in-law had already fallen out with her mother's family before marrying into the Zhou family, even if she left the Zhou family and wanted to go back to her mother's house, it would be a difficult thing.

Let's not talk about what the Lin family will say and what kind of attitude she will have after seeing her go home without ambition, just because of her own self-esteem, she will have a hard time.

Seeing that Lin Ajiao was angry, still instinctively protecting Zhou Ming's dignity, Mrs. Zhou felt an indescribable sadness in her heart, thinking of her son's uncompetitive appearance, she also felt that her son was not worthy of Lin Ajiao at all, if Lin Ajiao took this opportunity to separate from Zhou Ming, it would not necessarily be a bad thing.

After Lin Ajiao saw that Zhou Zhou Ming was no longer a threat to Laifu, she immediately put away her body, stood aside, and watched everything that happened in the yard with cold eyes, although she was very disappointed in Zhou Yiming, but she still wanted to know how Zhou Zhou Ming would respond to what Laifu said.

Seeing Zhou Zhou Ming kneeling in the courtyard, Lin Ajiao's heart was broken all of a sudden, she still had some luck in her heart, thinking that what Laifu said just now was hearsay, and it may not be accurate, as long as Zhou Zhou Ming can give a reasonable explanation, she will be the first to choose to believe Zhou Ming, after all, the two of them are husband and wife, at least she still has this trust.

It's just that what she didn't expect was that Zhou Zhou Ming didn't make a fierce struggle and explanation for the first time, but knelt on the ground all of a sudden, this kind of behavior has actually fully proved that he has a ghost in his heart, otherwise with his arrogant character, he would never kneel in front of his father.

Lin Ajiao thought that Zhou Zhou Ming would say some words to admit her mistakes next, and then beg for everyone's forgiveness, she didn't want to forgive Zhou Ming, let alone listen to his words begging for mercy, so she planned to take her personal maid away as soon as possible to avoid falling into that unbearable situation later, after all, she really didn't want to know the details of Zhou Ming's mouth that he went to Huamanlou to have fun.

But before Lin Ajiao greeted the little girl, she suddenly heard Zhou Zhou Ming say that all this was a misunderstanding, which made her eyes light up, and her heart was full of hope, because she knew in her heart that Zhou Zhou Ming was a very arrogant person, this kind of person would not lie easily, let alone give an explanation easily when others misunderstood him, so when he said this kind of thing, it proves that the incident that Laifu just said may have another hidden meaning.

Lin Ajiao immediately dispelled the idea of leaving, stood in place, motionless, and patiently waited for Zhou Ming to give a final explanation.

Laifu has been terrified since he saw Zhou Ming for the first time, even if he has been hiding behind Mrs. Zhou and Lin Ajiao, and has a guarantee of safety for the time being, his mood has not relaxed at all, because he doesn't know what Zhou Zhou Ming will do next.

If his own young master has been angry and clamoring to make trouble for himself, then he is not afraid, because this shows from the side that his own young master must have done some unsightly things, and he must be angry and angry, he must want to divert everyone's attention in this way, and at the same time, he is also scaring himself and letting himself not talk nonsense.

In fact, when he decided to tell the young master these ugly things, Laifu had already considered all the circumstances clearly, he knew that his master was a scholar and an upright gentleman, if he learned that his son had made such a mistake, he would not only discipline him strictly, but also protect the safety of his whistleblower, and after this matter was over, he would even look down on himself in his heart.

Originally, with the trump card of his own master in hand, Laifu could have no fear and sit back and relax, but what he was afraid of was another situation, if Zhou Zhou Ming controlled his emotions after a short period of anger, and no longer looked for his own trouble, but came up with favorable evidence to prove that he was wronged, then Laifu's trouble would be big.

When the time comes, through this matter, he will not only not get any benefits, but will completely offend Zhou Ming, the future master of the Zhou family.

Although after his master finally knows the truth, he may not punish himself for the sake of his loyalty, but the matter of deceiving his master is already a certainty, and in the future, his master will definitely not reuse himself, and maybe he will find an opportunity to send himself away.

After thinking of this terrible result, Laifu broke out in a cold sweat, although he was full of confidence before, thinking that with his housekeeping skills, he could mix a bite of food anywhere, but now that he saw the catastrophe coming, he was not so optimistic about his future.

Although he is a little clever and has a lot of thief eyes, but he has been a housekeeper in the Zhou family for more than ten years, he is very familiar with this place, and he knows each master very well, if he is suddenly swept away, even if he can find a housekeeper's errand in other mansions soon, it is difficult for him to adapt, after all, it takes time and energy to understand a new environment, he is now old, I don't know if I still have this patience.

And more importantly, housekeepers are a very competitive industry because they are well paid and have face in front of their owners, and it is impossible for anyone to let a person who has just arrived at the house be a housekeeper if there is no reliable person to introduce them.

After all, the power of the steward is too great, once a person is appointed as a steward, it is equivalent to the master handing over his net worth and life to him, if he does not have full trust in this person, the master will not be able to hand over such an important position to him.

Laifu also knows in his heart that there are many servants and subordinates in the other big families like the Zhou family outside, and most of these people were born and raised in the master's family, so it is easier for them to gain the trust of the master's family, and when competing for the position of housekeeper, they have a greater advantage than outsiders.

After thinking for a while, Laifu found that if he was really kicked out by the Zhou family in the future because of this incident, he might not only never find the position of housekeeper again, but might even starve to death on the street.

After all, at his age, he can't carry his shoulders or carry his hands, and if he goes to some big mansions and can't be a housekeeper, he can't even do physical work.

Those huge families are not charitable, it is impossible to support him as a person who eats idle food, even if it is the last retreat - returning to his hometown, it is a dead end, because after leaving home in the early years and coming to the capital to beg for a living, Laifu has never returned.

At the beginning, he felt that he hadn't mixed up with his personal appearance, and he didn't have the face to go back to see his family, but when he became a big housekeeper and got ahead, he felt that going home would not do him any good, but would be dragged down by his poor relatives, so he didn't go back.

Now there are few relatives in my hometown, and if I go back in poverty, I can only be disgusted, and no one can take care of me.

After thinking about these life-and-death issues, Laifu was completely panicked, he regretted a little, he shouldn't have been so reckless in the first place, after all, the young master's face is also very important to the Zhou family, and if the young master is really wronged, he will really be dead.

However, he also knew that even if he regretted it now, it would be useless, after all, the path he chose would be completed on his knees.

Seeing Zhou Ming say that all this was a misunderstanding, Laifu realized the danger, so he immediately relied on his courage, poked out half of his head, and pretended to say: "Young master, now that the matter is over, you should stop quibbling, admit your mistakes!"

Our master is iron-faced and selfless, don't you want to deceive him with rhetoric, this mistake you made, say it's not big, it's not small, every man can make it.

As long as you sincerely repent, admit your mistakes, and believe in the old man and the young grandmother, they will forgive you. ”

Seeing that Laifu actually had the courage to interrupt his words, Zhou Zhou Ming was furious: "Shut up!" You've been in my family for more than ten years, don't you know the rules? I'm here to talk to my father, where is your part to interject! ”

In normal times, Laifu does not have the courage to talk to Zhou Ming, but this is a critical moment, and he knows that he must not lose to Zhou Ming in momentum, otherwise the authenticity of his words will be greatly reduced.

And he had a wrong calculation, thinking that Zhou Ming was the one who made the mistake, even if he was a young master in the Zhou family, everyone would not stand on his side, so relying on these advantages, he openly retorted in front of everyone: "Young master, that's not what you said!"

I am a current person in your family, but I think I am also a member of the Zhou family, and if something happens to the Zhou family, I should play a part.

If I didn't treat myself as a member of the Zhou family, I could have let the whole thing rot in my stomach after knowing about you, so that I could save your face and not have to make you angry, and I wouldn't have to bear any guilt.

Why wouldn't I do the best of both worlds? And the reason why I didn't choose to do this was because I was worried about the future of the Zhou family. ”
