Chapter 16: The original mother-in-law

Zhulan picked up the jade pendant. This was the thing she cared about most. It was not an ordinary thing. It was the most valuable thing that the old lady told her not to lose before she died.

Zhou Shuren also looked at the jade pendant and frowned. This family shouldn't have jade pendants. It looked like it belonged to a wealthy family. "Where did this come from?"

Zhulan twitched her lips, "I don't know either. The old lady died before she could finish explaining her illness."

Now recalling it, when the old lady passed away, she must have felt unwilling before she could finish her cigarette.

Zhou Shuren had memories. The old lady's eyes widened with dissatisfaction as she analyzed, "This thing is either fatal or meaningful. Didn't you say it was a novel? Did you mention it?"

Zhulan pondered, "Really not, there is very little mention of this family, and the main focus is on describing how this family is all top-notch. The book doesn't even mention the old lady, but whether it's meaningful or harmful, it should be carefully collected."

Zhou Shuren recalled carefully again and really didn't have many memories of his mother. Most of his memories showed that his mother was very powerful and a person with strong opinions. It was basically his mother who held on during the turbulent times. Otherwise, the whole family would not have survived. Unfortunately, the old lady did not enjoy that blessing and passed away a year before the establishment of the new dynasty.

Zhou Shuren was sighing in his heart. Zhulan had already counted the silver and money. "There are more than 150 taels of silver in the family. These jewelry were bought by the old lady. If something happens, it is convenient to carry them with you. It can be pawned for money in an emergency. When things are stable, it can be given to my daughter as a dowry."

Speaking of this, Zhulan couldn't help but admire her original mother-in-law. She was so thoughtful and considerate.

Zhou Shuren didn't know whether it was because he had become Zhou Shuren or his original body, but he felt blocked in his heart. "But even though this amount of silver is not small, it is not enough to support the imperial examination. It costs a lot of money to take the examination for a scholar, not to mention other things."

Zhu Lan looked at Zhou Shuren and thought that they were both on the same boat. If she didn't explain it today, there would be a rift between them sooner or later. It would be bad for her if she got hurt. After observing him, she found that he had a good heart and his eyes could not deceive people. "There's more."

Zhou Shuren suspected that he had misheard, "What did you say? I didn't hear clearly."

Zhulan said: "I said that the family assets are not just these, there are other things that cannot be taken out."

Zhou Shuren raised his head sharply, "From what I remember, your family is not rich, and neither is this family. Even though mother is capable, she spent a lot of money during the turmoil, and it's the best she can save. Do you think you have a lot of things?"

Zhulan coughed and pointed at herself, "You forgot that your original body was good at martial arts, otherwise mother-in-law wouldn't like you and wouldn't marry you."

Zhou Shuren was no fool, and after thinking it over, he asked, "Hiss, war money?"

Zhulan, "I guess so. During the war, many places rose up in rebellion. There were many bandits and robbers. Do you remember that there was no food at home, and you and I went back to your mother's home, and we ran into soldiers and bandits and hid in the mountains with my father?"

Zhou Shuren remembered that the original body was a little frightened and had a high fever that day and was confused. "It is true."

Zhulan said, "My husband was sick and there was no medicine. I was very anxious and begged my father and eldest brother to go down the mountain. Unexpectedly, we ran into a gang of bandits. A dozen soldiers and bandits faced more than 20 bandits. In the end, there were only two bandits left. Because he saw the faces of the bandits, my father killed the injured ones. Otherwise, if he let them go, there would be endless troubles and the whole family might be wiped out."

Zhou Shuren understood, "So my father-in-law took the money?"
