Hearing Zhou Zhou Ming say these words like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Zhou Ruhai was stunned on the spot, his whole brain was buzzing, and he couldn't tell whether everything in front of him was a dream or a reality for a while, and finally he slapped himself hard, and the pain made him finally understand that the scene in front of him was not a nightmare.

He turned around and looked at the small courtyard where he had lived for many years, and there was a lot of reluctance in his heart, but he understood a cruel reality, he couldn't live here for long, because the reward promise that Zhou Ming made just now required at least more than a thousand taels of silver, and what the Zhou family could take out now was only more than two hundred taels at most.

And the treasures in the warehouse before, most of the boutiques, have been scavenged by Zhou Ming and sent to his father-in-law's house, and the remaining things in the warehouse at this time are almost all tattered and can't be sold at a price.

Therefore, if you want to make up this reward, you must sell the courtyard where you live now, otherwise, the Zhou family will do something that is not trustworthy.

Zhou Ruhai has read poetry and books since he was a child, understands righteousness, and regards the word Xinyi as more important than his life, so even if the family is stretched thin and can't get this reward, he will never let his son do anything backsliding.

After making up his mind, Zhou Ruhai was relieved, thinking that even if he sold all his properties, with his meager income, he would be able to maintain the life of the family, and more importantly, now Zhou Ming has grown into a man and can contribute to the family.

If he develops smoothly in the future, he may be able to buy this house back soon.

Mrs. Zhou, who has always been very fond of her son, was also anxious when she saw Zhou Zhou Ming suddenly do such a ridiculous thing, she hurriedly walked to Zhou Ming's side, pulled him aside, and whispered: "Son, are you crazy?" Our family is not as good as before, and it is already very difficult to maintain the current life.

It was enough for you to reward those subordinates with a silver tael before, but in order not to let you lose face, my mother left it to you.

Right now, you have rewarded people with so much money, at least more than a thousand taels of silver, and you are very happy, but you let me and your father, for a while, where can we find so much money for you? ”

The more Mrs. Zhou spoke, the more sad she became, and finally she even cried, because she had seen Zhou Ming make so many contributions and be so promising, thinking that her son had finally grown up and could share the family's worries, but what she never expected was that Zhou Zhou Ming was still so inconsiderate, and on impulse, he pushed the family's life into the abyss.

Although Mrs. Zhou is very confident in her son's future development, and knows that he will definitely break out of his own world in the officialdom, but those are things in the future, and if the family really takes out more than 1,000 taels of silver and rewards it to his subordinates, life may not be able to go on.

Those subordinates will not only lose their jobs immediately, but even the Zhou family itself may not be able to open the pot.

For her son's wayward behavior, Mrs. Zhou was helpless in addition to being sad and angry, after all, she knew the character of her master and son better than anyone else, and knew that once they made a promise, even if they slept on the street, they would never break their promises.

Thinking that she might live on the streets in the future, Mrs. Zhou felt extremely sad, thinking that she was afraid of her son when she was young, and she didn't have a stable life.

Zhou Zhou Ming had already expected that his wife would come to such a show before he made the reward, so he had already thought of a way to deal with it.

Seeing that his mother looked crying, he did not step forward to persuade him immediately, but carefully observed the surrounding situation, and saw that there was no one else beside him except Lin Ajiao, so he attached it to his mother's ear, whispered for a while, and then raised his head and smiled slightly.

Mrs. Zhou's face was shocked, she hurriedly wiped away her tears, stared at Zhou Ming, and asked vigorously, "Is this true?" ”

Zhou Zhou Ming said confidently: "Old lady, when did your son lie to you?" Don't worry, in the future, you and your father will wait to live a good life with me. ”

Mrs. Zhou became excited all of a sudden, and was about to speak, but Zhou Zhou Ming stopped him: "Shh, old lady, this matter is confidential, I only told you one person, you have to keep it a secret for me, after all, this kind of thing can't see the light." ”

Mrs. Zhou hurriedly covered her mouth, looked left and right smartly, and found that there was no one, so she nodded reassuringly, took two steps back, stood in place, and never dared to speak again.

Zhou Ruhai originally saw his wife rushing towards his son violently, and he was quite relieved, because his son made such a big mistake, and it was inconvenient for him to teach him a lesson.

It's just that what he never expected was that Zhou Ming sent Mrs. Zhou away with a few words.

While Zhou Ruhai was disappointed, he was puzzled, and he didn't understand what means Zhou Zhou Ming used, so he persuaded Mrs. Zhou so easily.

In fact, the little trick used by Zhou Ming just now was very simple, he just told Mrs. Zhou that after he killed the Supreme Daoist, he found that he had two thousand taels of silver on him, anyway, the person was dead, and there was no proof of death, so he didn't hand over the money, and directly took it for himself.

Mrs. Zhou was frightened at the time, and wanted her son to spit out this ill-gotten wealth at the first time, but after thinking about it, it seemed silly to do so, after all, everyone in the officialdom was not clean, and her son almost lost his life with great effort, so he reluctantly killed this wicked person, and it was understandable to get this money as comfort.

It was precisely after thinking this out that Mrs. Zhou honestly stepped aside after repeatedly confirming the authenticity of the matter with Zhou Ming, and was so frightened that she didn't dare to say anything more.

Lin Ajiao has been standing next to Zhou Ming, but Zhou Yiming's voice talking to her mother is too small, so she didn't hear clearly what the two of them said.

After Mrs. Zhou walked away, Lin Ajiao hurriedly walked to Zhou Ming's side, and there was obviously a panicked look on her face.

After Zhou Zhou Ming noticed this, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, thinking that his wife was also from a big family, and she wouldn't be like her parents, and she didn't spare herself for this money, right?

"Xianggong, don't worry, my dowry, plus my gold and silver jewelry, if you get it to the pawnshop, it should be able to be used as two thousand taels of silver, and this money should be more than enough for the people to be rewarded." Lin Ajiao was calculating how much gold jewelry she still had, and said to Zhou Ming softly.

Seeing that his wife had finally regained her former gentleness and virtuousness, Zhou Ming breathed a long sigh of relief, he put his arm around Lin Ajiao's shoulder, and said with a smile: "I don't need you to help me with this money, I have my own way, if you can have this heart, I am already very satisfied." ”

"Do you have your own way?" Lin Ajiao's eyes widened and asked with some confusion.

"You all know to underestimate me, don't forget, now I am the number one celebrity in the world, I can still get this little money!" Zhou Ming said with a wicked smile.

Although Zhou Ruhai has made up his mind to sell the small courtyard where he lives in order to deal with the aftermath for his son, it will be a matter of the future, today is a happy day, and he can't destroy everyone's good mood today for the sake of future difficulties.

Seeing those people who had been rewarded, standing in the courtyard one by one, they were so happy, that they had even forgotten the errand they were responsible for, Zhou Ruhai couldn't help but straighten his face, and commanded sharply: "What are you still doing in a daze?" After receiving the reward, everyone should work harder, and don't let the young master down. ”

When the people heard their master say this, they woke up like a dream, and quickly picked up the guy in their hands and prepared to work.

The cooks also immediately stood up and planned to go to the kitchen to show their skills.

At this time, Zhou Zhou Ming suddenly felt that something was wrong, he thought about it carefully, and finally understood that there was an important matter that he had not yet dealt with.

"Wait." Zhou Ming raised his left hand and suddenly said loudly.

The subordinates in the family were all taken aback, and everyone turned their heads and looked at Zhou Ming, not knowing what he was going to do.

"Ming'er, what's wrong again?" Zhou Ruhai didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Zhou Ming's gourd, so he asked.

Zhou Zhou Ming did not answer his father's question for the first time, but searched back and forth in the crowd with his eyes, and after looking around, he did not find the person he was looking for, he suddenly became nervous in his heart, and asked everyone loudly: "What about Laifu?" ”

Hearing this, everyone realized that Zhou Zhou Ming was looking for the culprit who killed him.

If it weren't for Zhou Ming's reminder, Zhou Ruhai almost forgot about Laifu, after all, too many things happened in the courtyard just now, which involved too much of his energy.

As soon as he heard Laifu's name, Zhou Ruhai was angry and didn't fight anywhere, because if it weren't for this old pig and dog, there would not be so many twists and turns and misunderstandings between him and his son.

"Find this person for me, if he escapes, I'm not done with you!" Zhou Ruhai was so anxious that he stomped his feet, he knew in his heart that a cunning person like Laifu had a very strong ability to observe words and feelings, and everyone's attention was not on him just now, if he realized the danger and smeared oil on the soles of his feet, he might have fled long ago.

Although this old pig and dog has been a housekeeper in the Zhou Mansion for more than ten years, as the saying goes, the cunning rabbit has three holes, if you really want him to escape, it will not be so easy to catch him again.
