The Journey Of The Peasant Mother-in-Law

Chapter 69: If you fail to harm others, you will end up harming yourself

Views:

The Zhou family's small classroom has started. Zhulan has a rough idea of the situation after taking a look at it. Rongchuan has no basic knowledge, and Li and Zhao are about the same. They can do simple mental arithmetic within fifty, but need to use coins to calculate hundreds.

My daughter and eldest grandson have the best foundation, and because Zhou Shuren taught them for a few days, they have no problem scoring within 100.

After the courtyard wall was built, the ranking changed. Rongchuan was really smart. No wonder Zhou Shuren attached great importance to hands-on teaching. This child understood things quickly and could draw inferences from what he had learned. Simple addition and subtraction were not enough for him, and he could already do the math problems compiled by Zhulan based on ancient times.

The second place was unexpected. Zhulan didn't expect it to be Li. Li was slow in learning to read but not in math. Zhao, on the other hand, was good at reading but terrible at math.

Li was proud and proud, "Mom, I will stop for two days to wait for my brother and sister-in-law's progress, and then I will finish my study."

It’s been four days and she wants to go out for a walk. Life without gossip is miserable!

Zhu Lan had a wooden face. She had gotten used to Li getting angry with Zhao these days. She had made Zhao cry several times. She waved her hand tiredly and told him to leave quickly. She wanted her to be quiet for two days. "Don't forget to come back and cook at mealtime."

Zhulan provided small suggestions based on the dishes that Hyundai had eaten, and Li's cooking skills improved dramatically. The family could not do without Li for cooking.

Li grinned, "Mom, I will never forget it."

Li ran away happily, fearing that her mother-in-law would go back on her word!

Zhao took two deep breaths. She couldn't even compare to her sister-in-law. Tears flashed in her eyes. She couldn't help but shrugged her shoulders and cried, "Mom, am I really stupid? I can't even compare to my sister-in-law."

How could she be worse than that idiot? She was so devastated that she began to doubt her life. How could she be dumber than that idiot? She couldn't accept the fact!

Zhulan cursed Li secretly. She was also in pain. Why did it become her job to coax people? She was a little embarrassed about Zhao and said dryly, "Everyone has their own strengths. You think she is not as literate as you."

Zhao still couldn't accept it. She shouldn't have such a bad fortune. When she thought that her daughter and son would follow her, she said, "Mom, I'm sorry to the Zhou family."

Zhulan, "... ..."

She really couldn't keep up with Zhao's train of thought. What did this have to do with the Zhou family

"Ah!" The cry scared Zhulan, and Zhao forgot to cry!

Zhulan listened carefully to the noises coming from the backyard. She didn't want to hear Zhao crying anymore, so she went out to see what was happening. When she got to the backyard and looked at the high walls, she realized that she couldn't watch the live broadcast anymore and could only listen.

Wang Zhang's voice was very recognizable. She angrily cursed Wang Laosi, "You black-hearted bastard, you bastard..."

Zhulan's mouth twitched. Wang Zhang kept cursing for a whole minute without repeating herself. She also understood the reason. Wang Ru sold more than one recipe. There were several shops selling spicy cabbage in the county. Those who opened shops all had their own channels and low costs. But it was different for the Wang family. The cabbage they bought at a high price plus other costs was more expensive than what was sold in the shops. Wang Zhang suffered heavy losses.

Apart from Wang Lao Si, the Wang family still had four sons and a married grandson. They had enough manpower and they greedily made a yard of kimchi, thinking they could make a fortune. However, they lost money unexpectedly. Wang Zhang had never suffered such a big loss from her own family and was completely furious!

Zhulan pricked up her ears and heard Sun's crying, Wang Ru's shouting, Wang Laosi's screams from being beaten, and the chaotic sounds of smashing and looting.

In the final analysis, Wang Ru was too cruel. She knew Wang Zhang's character very well and did not leave her any leeway. This time, she forced Wang Zhang into a corner.

Although Zhulan did not listen to gossip, she had heard a lot of news. She calculated that Wang Zhang had invested nearly ten taels of silver. As Wang Zhang married several grandchildren's wives, the nearly ten taels of silver was almost all of her money.

Zhulan wanted to listen, but there were too many people watching the fun and it was so chaotic that she couldn't hear clearly. She knew everything she needed to know. Her legs and heels were numb, so she went back to the front yard.

Xue Han asked with concern, "Mom, what happened in the backyard?"

Zhulan did not hide the story of Wang Laosi's family, and she also explained the truth, "When facing an enemy, first assess your own ability. If you have enough ability, you should cut the grass and root it out. If you don't have enough ability, you should avoid the sharp edge and wait for the opportunity to strike. Don't learn from Laosi's family. You will hurt yourself instead of others."

When Zhou Laoer came in and heard this, he nodded repeatedly. As expected of his mother, they had the same idea.

At lunch time, Li came back. Zhulan asked directly without waiting for Li to speak, "How did you solve the problem of Wang Laosi's family?"

Li was surprised, "How did you know if my mother didn't go out?"

Zhulan: "... ... ..Wang Laosi's house is in the back street."

Li slapped her head and said, "Look, I forgot."

Zhulan noticed that the front street was also in chaos and became curious, "How did you solve it?"

Li won't come back satisfied unless the problem is solved.
