Chapter 259: Poor and lowly couples mourn
Since he lost face in the yard because of Laifu's incident, Zhou Ruhai saw his son praise him for the first time, and he was full of blood for a while, his eyes were a little hot, and he almost cried.
It's not because his eyelids are too shallow and he wants to cry at every turn, it's really that he has encountered too many ups and downs today, and he was finally affirmed by his son once, and that kind of excitement is incomprehensible to others.
Feeling that he was a little out of shape, he immediately adjusted his emotions, coughed lightly, and covered up his embarrassment, he thought to himself, although the method he just thought of might cause the entire Zhou family to go bankrupt, and from then on he would never be able to turn over, but it was worth it to be praised by his son because of this matter.
Even if his family was defeated in the end, he could only live a poor life, he had no regrets, because he always believed in his heart that even if Zhou Ming could not develop smoothly in the officialdom in the future, and was even deprived of his official position by the imperial court, as long as his son could still stay healthy, he would go to other industries and would not let himself starve.
Since hearing the money-raising method that her master said, Mrs. Zhou has been worried in her heart, for fear that the method he said will become a reality, in that case, her life is likely to be affected, and once the family is gone, no one will serve her, how should she live?
After all, she has been pampered since she was a child, so she can't do almost any work except studying, and if she really wants to run the family herself in the future, maybe within two days, the family will be starved to death by herself.
After thinking of the scene of the poor couple mourning, Mrs. Zhou couldn't help frowning, she was panicked, she had been hoping in her heart that her son could come forward to deny her master's fund-raising plan, because she knew in her heart that at this critical moment, even if she disagreed with her master's ideas and stood up against him, it would be useless, and only her son could influence her master's thoughts.
After having this thought in her heart, Mrs. Zhou's eyes kept staring at Zhou Ming, hoping that he would do something quickly and not let her master do something stupid.
The house they live in now is not too large in scale and the location is also very remote.
They had been buying the house for seven or eight years, and the price was very low at that time, so it would not be so easy to sell the house at this time and buy it back for the same price.
Therefore, once the family property is sold, it is equivalent to embarking on a road of no return, in case the son cannot be happy in the officialdom in the future, then the Zhou family will be completely finished.
However, Zhou Ming's reaction disappointed Mrs. Zhou, not only did this kid not persuade his master to give up this ruined idea, but he was quite sure of this idea, and even praised his own master.
Mrs. Zhou thought to herself, this father and son are crazy, in order to make friends outside, they completely ignore the quality of life of our women's families, once the house and family property are all sold, the family is gone, and they are old, what kind of life can be endured, but what about the daughter-in-law?
Lin Ajiao is beautiful and beautiful, and she is the same age as flowers and bones, she has been pampered since she was a child, she grew up in a honeypot, she has not suffered a little, she married into the Zhou family, she is already wronging herself, if she is still allowed to live a hard life in the future, not to mention that her father and mother will not agree, even herself, who is a mother-in-law, is a little unbearable.
In the major matters related to the future and fate of the official Zhou family, Mrs. Zhou originally did not want to get involved, after all, she is a woman's family, if she always expresses her opinions on these major matters, it will inevitably be considered that she does not abide by women's morality, but after considering Lin Ajiao's situation, Mrs. Zhou felt that at this critical moment, she had to say a few words for the female dependents in the family.
She took advantage of the gap between the father and son to speak, and said with difficulty: "According to me, with the current economic situation of our Zhou family, there is no need to slap a swollen face and become fat like that."
When the time comes, the son will tell the family the situation truthfully to the person surnamed Han, I don't think people will be so unkind, and they will force our family to go bankrupt. ”
Before Zhou Zhou Ming could speak, when he heard Mrs. Zhou say this, Zhou Ruhai was angry, his eyes widened, he looked at Mrs. Zhou, and said angrily: "You are a woman, what do you know?" We men are out there, and you women don't know anything about the difficult environment we face.
Let me tell you, the reason why the lion opened his mouth and borrowed so much money from our son was that in fact, the good friendship between them was only one reason, and the more important reason was that he wanted to test our son.
If our son can stand the test, they will be a lifelong friendship in the future, no matter what difficulties and problems they encounter, they will advance and retreat together, and the two will form a community of interests.
Although generally capable people will not form gangs, our son is now in the rising stage of his career, and having this surnamed Han to escort him in front will make his future smoother. ”
Zhou Ming saw that his mother was so depressed, and he wanted to open his mouth to comfort her, but before he opened his mouth, he was preempted by his father.
After listening to his father's high-minded talk, Zhou Zhou Ming had to admit in his heart that his father was old, and he still had the depth to see the problem.
Zhou Ming actually understood in his heart that although he is now a big celebrity in the world, and he is also in the limelight in the Great Chu court, this is only a superficial phenomenon, in this era, fame will not bring him any substantial benefits and rights, but will make himself the target of public criticism in the court, after all, everyone has pink eye, and when they find that someone is better than themselves, people's first reaction is not to work hard and surpass this excellent person, but to quickly find a way to get rid of this excellent thorn in the eye.
And Zhou Zhou Ming is now playing the role of this thorn in his eye, and the danger he faces is not only those pink eye patients in the court, but also the traitor.
The hatred between him and Yan Qiu can be said to be incompatible, and the reason why he has been able to live until now is entirely because the movement he has made is too big, and if Yan Qiu wants to get rid of a man like him, the risks he faces are huge.
Although fame can save his life for a while, it can't protect him forever, after all, fame is too mysterious, too empty, it may be on you today, and it may float away tomorrow.
And if you want to save your life forever, you have to gain a firm foothold in the court and get real power, so as to fight against that big traitor with strength, and in order to achieve such a goal, it is obvious that Han Pingzhi will not help him, and will play a pivotal role.
His father was able to see through this without knowing all the inside information, which shows that his ideological insight is much higher than that of ordinary people.
Seeing that her master had a tough attitude and had no intention of changing her mind at all, Mrs. Zhou suddenly became sad, sobbed and cried: "You men, you know all day long to do great things and achieve great things, your eyes seem to be looking at the sky all the time, and you don't look down at all, and you don't think about us women.
You want to sell your house and land, which is easy to say, but have you ever thought about how we women can live by selling all your family property?
I grew up growing up, I can only study, I haven't lived a hard day, and now that I'm older, you want me to live in a civilian courtyard, don't you think I'm long?
Even if I can bear this suffering, have you ever thought about your daughter-in-law? She is at the prime of her youth, and she has been wronged by marrying into our Zhou family, and now she is letting her live a hard life, how can you bear it? ”
Seeing this scene, Zhou Zhou Ming slapped his head, thinking that he was finished, he explained a little late, but the old couple had already begun to get on the bar.
Zhou Ruhai saw Mrs. Zhou crying, and he couldn't bear it in his heart, so he suppressed his anger and explained calmly: "Madam, it's normal for you to have such thoughts, after all, our husband and wife have been married for so many years, although the family has always been coarse tea and light food, but the maid at home has never lacked you."
Now it is indeed difficult for some strong people to suddenly make you live a hard life.
But this is also a helpless thing, in order to treat our son's illness before, our family spent almost all of their savings, and because I took care of my son, I neglected to take care of the affairs of officialdom, so that the official position fell again and again, and today, even if I want to work hard, there is no chance to turn over.
During this period of time, our son has made great achievements one after another, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our family to turn over, if we can't grasp this opportunity, it is impossible to restore the former glory of the Zhou family. ”
Mrs. Zhou originally thought that she would cry and say so many words, which would definitely have a little impact on her master, but what she didn't expect was that although her lord's tone was a little softened, it was obvious that he didn't change his mind.
"So in order for our family to be able to prosper," Zhou Ruhai looked at Mrs. Zhou with a serious face, and the more he spoke, the more solemn his tone became, "We all have to make some necessary sacrifices, selling property is a big deal, in fact, my son and I are not willing to do this, but if we don't do this, we really can't make up so much money."
The guy surnamed Han can't get the money, can he be willing to do things for our son? Obviously impossible, so this money is our investment, and I believe that our son, he will definitely earn this money back for us soon. ”
Mrs. Zhou knew in her heart that her master's last words were completely comforting herself, in order to temporarily relieve herself, as for her son's future in the officialdom, no one knows whether it will be smooth sailing.
