The Journey Of The Peasant Mother-in-Law

Chapter 148: Not expecting it

Views:

Zhulan had been acting as a background board. Seeing that Wu Ming was not a big man, she threatened and intimidated him with a few words, forcing him not to leave. She asked someone to go to Dongcheng to tell Zhang Heng to take money and settle the matter. In order to keep her legs, she extorted ten taels of silver from the family. Zhang Heng did not show up, so she took twenty taels. In less than half an hour, she got thirty taels.

Zhulan looked at Wu Ming, who was only fifteen years old. The ancients were really precocious and were particularly good at taking advantage of situations. Moreover, this man was also ruthless. She could see clearly that if the timing was not wrong, Wu Ming really wanted to break the man's legs.

After getting the money, Wu Ming let the man go. Wu Ming frowned. He was busy calculating just now and then noticed that the girl with the problem had not left yet. "Girl, aren't you going to leave?"

Wang Ru also wanted to leave. She found that the carriage outside the door had left. She didn't know where the driver had gone, and she didn't dare to walk around. Did they really think she wanted to stay? She was also frightened. The boss was the boss. A few words exchanged for thirty taels. "I'm waiting for the driver."

She cursed in her heart, this is the driver that Shi Qing assigned to her, he actually abandoned her, she felt uneasy, Shi Qing wanted to teach her a lesson? Or was he tricked by someone else? She didn't forget that Shi Qing's stepmother was not a good person.

Zhulan estimated that it was almost noon. She was hungry, so she tugged at Zhou Shuren's sleeve. Zhou Shuren understood immediately, "Since nephew Wu's problem has been resolved, let's go back first."

Zhao Bo also stood up. It was a very satisfying day. He also confirmed that Wu Ming was not someone to be trifled with. He felt relieved and said with a smile, "I'll go back with you."

Wu Ming felt embarrassed. He had taken advantage of the situation today, and it would be unreasonable not to arrange a meal for them. "Uncle Zhou and Uncle Zhao, please stay and let me treat you to a simple meal as a thank you."

The favor today is not a meal, but he does not have the ability at the moment. He remembers to repay it in the future. He is a person who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and grudges.

Zhou Shuren didn't want to stay for dinner. He wanted to have a fish feast with Zhulan. "Your family members were frightened today and need to be comforted. There's no rush to eat. Why don't we celebrate together after the college entrance examination? It's a win-win situation."

Zhao Bo continued, "We are waiting for you, Xiao Sanyuan. You will have no choice but to invite us when the time comes."

Zhou Shuren, “… .”

He didn't want Xiao Sanyuan to thank him. He really didn't believe that he would be the second one!

Zhulan looked at Zhou Shuren's indifferent face and smiled in her heart. Zhou Shuren also wanted to get first place.

Wu Ming turned his head to look at his listless grandfather and his grandmother with red and swollen eyes. His brother and sister were also frightened. This was indeed not a good time to thank them. "Then I'll listen to your two uncles."

I made up my mind to get the first place in the exam so as not to let the two uncles’ help go to waste!

Wang Ru had a wooden face, watching the Zhou family and the future boss getting closer and closer, but she didn't dare to make any more moves. The boss looked at her with such cold eyes that her jealous eyes were almost bloodshot. She was also afraid. Could it be that she would always meet the person she was destined to meet? She was afraid that Zhou Xuehan would marry the male protagonist even if she was engaged. The more she thought about it, the more afraid she became. Modern ideas took over, and as long as they didn't get married, they were free!

Zhulan was worried that Li would not be able to come over to make lunch at noon. What should she do? Even if her daughter learned cooking skills, she could only cook simple ones!

Zhulan and her group walked out, and a man came towards them with a servant behind him. The man was very tall in ancient times, about 1.78 meters tall, with a face of about 16 or 17 years old, and a gentle appearance. He was wearing mainly plain clothes and a jade pendant, which was quite visually impactful when he came towards them.

In modern times, Zhulan likes TV dramas such as fairy tales very much, and she especially likes the character Yu Ru from Stranger. It’s been more than half a year, and now she has come across a live-action version!

Zhou Shuren was unhappy and his face turned black. He couldn't help but touch his face. Why didn't he look like his modern self? He was definitely not less handsome without his glasses. He blocked Zhulan's sight silently.

Zhulan stared at Zhou Shuren's back. Even though she couldn't see his expression, she knew that he was jealous and looked unhappy. She couldn't help laughing. He had the potential to become a jealous person. She just admired him and stopped looking at him after that.

Wu Ming, the host, stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, sir, what is the purpose of your visit to Wu's house?"
