Chapter 237: The Twilight of a Strong Man

After learning about his son's method of dealing with Laifu, Zhou Ruhai, who was holding a wine glass, was full of emotion in his heart, he didn't know whether he should be happy or sad, after all, the final result of Zhou Ming's handling of this matter was fair for Laifu, and he should be content if he was able to leave a life.

Originally, his son handled this matter very properly, and the old servant who had followed him for many years also ended up with a good result, no matter from which point of view, Zhou Ruhai should be happy, but things are not so simple.

Seeing his son talking and laughing, Zhou Ruhai couldn't help but have a sad feeling in his heart, and at this moment he really realized that his son had really grown up, and he had far surpassed himself in all aspects of ability.

After thinking of this, Zhou Ruhai felt an indescribable discomfort in his heart, and even almost shed tears in front of his juniors, but at the last moment, he picked up the wine glass and forcibly poured himself a few sips of wine, which forced the tears back.

When Mrs. Zhou saw her old man like this, she didn't think much about it, thinking that he was just happy to see her son so promising, so she drank a few more glasses.

"Master, happy is happy, but you are old, don't drink too hard, otherwise your body won't be able to stand it." Mrs. Zhou kindly reminded that she was afraid that Zhou Ruhai would drink too quickly and get sick.

If it was in the past, usually at this time, no matter how much Zhou Ruhai drank and drunk, when he heard his wife remind himself like this, even if he was unwilling in his heart, he would definitely give his wife a thin noodle, even if he was pretentious, he would drink a few glasses less.

But today he felt uncomfortable, and with the thoughts in his heart, he couldn't tell outsiders, so this made him even more depressed, and when he heard his wife's advice, he not only didn't listen, but drank a few more glasses, and then raised his head and gave Mrs. Zhou a roll of his eyes.

Mrs. Zhou is from a beautiful background, usually to her husband and son, has always been virtuous and virtuous, at this time when she saw her old man dog biting Lu Dongbin, not only did not accept her own love, but also glared at herself, which made Mrs. Zhou feel very uncomfortable, but in order to take care of the overall situation, she did not express her inner emotions at all, just smiled awkwardly, and then talked and laughed with everyone as usual.

At this time, the people sitting at the table, except for Zhou Ming and Lin Ajiao, there were only two little maids.

The two little girls are at an innocent age, although Chunni grew up with suffering, but after all, she is also a child, and the ability of the two children to observe words and emotions is naturally not as good as that of adults, so what happened between the lord and the lady just now, the two of them were unaware, because after being reprimanded by the young grandmother just now, the thoughts of the two little girls were all used to eat.

While observing the delicacies on the table, they study which dish is the best and then plan which dish to eat first when the meal is served.

Compared with these two little maids, Zhou Zhou Ming and Lin Ajiao are both people who study martial arts, and their observation ability is already above ordinary people, so although the small conflict between Mrs. Zhou and Zhou Ruhai just now happened in an instant, the two of them have already noticed it.

Lin Ajiao thought about it for a long time, but she couldn't figure out why her father-in-law was so emotionally abnormal? He was already helpless in the face of Laifu's matter just now, so in the end, he simply left it alone and threw the mess to his father-in-law.

Xianggong handled the matter of Laifu so properly, he should be happy, why did he suddenly stink a face, not only ignoring his mother-in-law's kindness, but even glaring at his mother-in-law, this is simply unreasonable!

Since marrying into the door of the Zhou family, Lin Ajiao has always respected her father-in-law, because she understands in her heart that since Xianggong drowned because of saving himself, he has always been frail and sickly.

It is precisely because of gratitude to her father-in-law that Lin Ajiao usually behaves very decently in front of him, and she doesn't even speak out loud, but after seeing the situation just now, Lin Ajiao's psychology has changed, and she feels that no matter what her father-in-law is angry about, he should not treat her mother-in-law like this in public.

Compared with Lin Ajiao, Zhou Ming was more thoughtful, he was drinking with his father, and at the same time, he was thinking carefully, why did his father suddenly show such a bad mood? Could it be that someone offended him by speaking just now? No, when the two little maids interjected just now, he and his wife stood up together and chose to forgive them, and his performance at that time did not show the slightest difference.

On the contrary, it was only after I finished talking about the results of dealing with the blessings that his mood was a little abnormal, and the expression on his face became strange.

Is he blaming me for being too ruthless in dealing with Laifu? Zhou Ming thought secretly in his heart.

However, he soon dismissed his idea, because after he had just told him about the results of dealing with the blessings, his father's face did not show any strangeness, but a happy face.

Just when Zhou Ming was at a loss and couldn't guess what kind of temper his father was making, he suddenly saw Zhou Ruhai's eyes moist a little when he finished drinking a glass of wine, and at the same time there was a very small shaking movement.

After seeing all this, Zhou Zhou Ming suddenly had a feeling of enlightenment, because he guessed his father's mind, and the reason why his father was in such a low mood all of a sudden was that he must have a feeling of being a strong man in his twilight years.

The high-profile narration of the process of dealing with the blessing just now must have stimulated him.

After thinking about this, Zhou Zhou Ming couldn't help but regret a little, because in the process of telling just now, he was a little sharp, in this case, the father, who had always been strong in the past, must feel that he surpassed him in all aspects.

Being a son has surpassed Lao Tzu overnight, this kind of thing is put on anyone, and it will not be acceptable for a while, and in this case, it is inevitable to have a huge sense of loss in my heart, after all, people are not grass and trees, who can be ruthless?

After guessing his father's thoughts, Zhou Zhou Ming suddenly felt infinite sympathy in his heart, after all, he is a man like his father, and men understand men best, and Zhou Zhou Ming also understands that one day, he will follow in his father's footsteps and feel lost for his children and grandchildren surpassing him.

After finding the crux of his father's depression, Zhou Zhou Ming hurriedly prescribed the right medicine, he toasted his father frantically, and said: "Dad, I was in the yard just now, I really thank you so much, you can give me such an opportunity to experience, it's really well-intentioned." ”

Zhou Ruhai stretched a long face, has been drinking stuffy wine, under the influence of his emotions, everyone at the dinner table is sullen, the two little maids don't even dare to eat with chopsticks, everyone has been looking at Zhou Ruhai's face, for fear that if he can't deal with a word, it will make him angry.

Just when everyone was very nervous, they suddenly heard Zhou Ming say this, and everyone was stunned.

Mrs. Zhou and the two little maids had the simplest idea, they all felt that the reason why their master gave up dealing with Laifu just now was completely because he was helpless, after all, in the face of the cunning Laifu, Zhou Ruhai, as a scholar, was not an opponent at all.

It is precisely because they have such deep-rooted thoughts in their hearts that they don't understand Zhou Yiming's statement very much, especially Mrs. Zhou, she even blames Zhou Zhou Ming very much in her heart, feeling that he is completely spoiling his own master when he says this, so that he will be more fearless when he does something wrong in the future.

Lin Ajiao's thoughts are more complicated than Mrs. Zhou's, although she also doesn't understand why Zhou Yiming said this, but she has confidence in Zhou Yiming, knowing that he must have his own reasons for doing this.

Zhou Ruhai, who had been drinking sullenly, heard his son suddenly thank him, and he also felt confused, and couldn't help asking, "Ming'er, what do you mean by this?" I didn't do anything in the yard just now. You can handle the matter of Rifle perfectly, that's your ability, it seems that in this matter, I don't play any active role. ”

Although Zhou Ruhai was extremely depressed in his heart, as a scholar, the pride of a scholar did not allow him to shamelessly accept credit and gratitude that did not belong to him, so in front of everyone, he raised questions very frankly, and even made it clear that the credit for dealing with Laifu had nothing to do with him.

Originally, Mrs. Zhou and Lin Ajiao despised him because they saw their master's attitude just now, until this moment, after they saw their master's brave statement, everyone admired it in their hearts, and at the same time, everyone also understood in their hearts that although their master had some small flaws in his private virtues, he was never confused in major matters.

Zhou Zhou Ming was originally to appease his father's emotions, and deliberately said the words with a clear conscience, but at this time, when he heard his father questioning himself in such righteous words, he couldn't help but extend his thumb to his father, thinking that although his father was like an old child, but in the face of dealing with major rights and wrongs, he still needed to learn by himself.

"Dad, the people here now are all their own families, and you don't have to be so modest in front of us." Zhou Zhou Ming stood up, poured a glass of wine for Zhou Ruhai, and then said earnestly, "Actually, I was in the courtyard just now, and when you went to the house at the critical moment, I understood your hard work." ”

Mrs. Zhou and the two little maids, when they saw Zhou Zhou Ming say this, they were all surprised, they frowned, stared at him without saying a word, they really didn't understand, as the head of the family, the old man didn't do it at a critical moment, and threw a tricky thing to the young master, which one of them had good intentions?
