Chapter 20

A thin and small boy was walking unsteadily towards the stairs with a large bowl of soup.

Zhou Ming was sitting on the seat and eating candied haws. Seeing that the little boy was carrying the soup, walking with his head bowed and concentrating on walking, he broke free from old Zhou's hand and went quietly.

Zhou Lang had been staring at the kitchen door, seeing Zhou Ming coming over suddenly, he thought he had found himself hiding by the stairs, and was thinking of making some excuse, when Zhou Ming tripped over the little boy carrying the soup.

"Hahaha, you're so stupid, you're going to be tripped so obviously!" Zhou Ming laughed happily when he saw the little boy fell to the ground, and the soup was all poured on him, looking embarrassed.

The little boy was about the same height as Zhou Ming, but thinner than Zhou Ming. At this time, he dropped the big bowl of soup, and he squatted down to pick up the pieces without making a sound, regardless of his arm being burned.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Lang felt that her cousin was no longer as simple as being naughty. She seemed to see a future scumbag rising.

"Hey, why don't you cry?" Seeing the little boy holding back his silence, Zhou Ming became unhappy, and stepped forward to poke the other boy's head vigorously, trying to make him react a little angry.

As a result, the little boy moved two steps away, still bowed his head and said nothing.

Hmph, ignore me, I just want to play tricks on you!With such a rebellious mentality, Zhou Ming decisively lifted his foot and kicked the little boy.

Seeing the injustice on the road, he drew his sword to help, not to mention that the one who did the evil was his cousin!

Zhou Lang, who had clearly decided not to meddle in other people's business, didn't know what was wrong with him. When he realized it, he found that his cousin was pushed to the ground crying, while he stood in front of the little boy with his hands on his hips.

Zhou Lang thought, if the people in the lobby didn't all look disgusted at this time, she should have laughed three times, then pointed at Zhou Ming, a little bean, and said majesticly: "See if you dare to be scumbags in the future!"

However, the old Zhou rushed up and slapped Zhou Lang awake.

Fang Miaolan ran out a step slower, seeing the slap marks on Zhou Lang's face, she felt very distressed: "Grandmother, why did you hit Lang'er without asking? She's not healed yet!"

The old Zhou family hugged Zhou Ming into his arms and screamed heartily. Fang Miaolan said bitterly, "Do you still need to ask? Look at the good daughter you taught, who actually bullied her younger brother because of her age!"

"This..." Fang Miaolan thought of her daughter with her hands on her hips, domineering, and her nephew lying on the ground, weak and helpless, and she was at a loss for words.Her always well-behaved daughter seemed to be bullying her younger brother.

However, the old Zhou family was eccentric, so Fang Miaolan was not eccentric, she just said, "Lang'er accidentally pushed Ming'er, and that was a child's carelessness. How could the mother-in-law just slap her when she came up?"

Old Mrs. Zhou was unhappy when she heard Fang Miaolan's soft voice and all the onlookers showed pity.

Could it be that she is an evil mother-in-law?Obviously it was Zhou Lang, a bad girl, who bullied her good grandson, yet this Fang family is still softly seducing men to help him in public, how shameless!

Old Zhou's eyes widened, and he snorted coldly: "Don't put on an air here, what kind of child is playing around? Obviously you taught her to beat her younger brother on purpose! After living outside for two years, she has become more courageous, and now she beats me!" Good grandson, will you dare to beat me, an old woman, tomorrow? So unfilial, do you think you want to go to the government to be punished?"

Although today's emperor is a bit fatuous and immoral, he still respects Confucianism and respects filial piety. If someone is not filial and is sued by the elders, he will definitely suffer dozens of slaps. Even if the injury heals, his reputation will be bad.

How dare Fang Miaolan respond, she repeatedly lowered her breath and dared not.

Seeing that the old Zhou family was indiscriminate, and hearing that Fang Miaolan was suppressed by the old Zhou family with filial piety, Zhou Lang was anxious.Obviously it was Zhou Ming who did the bad things first, so she couldn't let herself and her mother take the blame.

"Grandma!" No matter how unwilling, Zhou Lang yelled angrily, "Obviously Zhou Ming bumped into the waiter on purpose just now, and even kicked him, I really couldn't see it, so I came to help!"

"It's said that when the road is injustice, he draws his sword to help. Zhou Ming is my younger brother. He does bad things. I'm a sister. I don't care what happened. Besides, I didn't push him just now. He wanted to kick someone. He didn't stand properly and fell down!" Zhou Ming Lang was articulate and eloquent, and his imposing manner was not at all inferior to that of the old Zhou family.It's just arguing with a shrew, who is afraid of whom!

At first, the men around felt annoyed when they saw a family of mother-in-law, daughter-in-law and children making noise. Now, when they heard that Zhou Lang's words were well-founded and justified at a young age, they surrounded him with interest.

The middle-aged man on the seat on the second floor was disturbed by the various farces downstairs and wanted to throw down his money and leave. Now that he saw the appearance of Mr. Zhou Lang, he looked a bit like his daughter's sharp teeth when she was a child, so he was not in a hurry to leave. , Just treat it as drinking while watching a show.

Fang Miaolan didn't dare to talk back to old Zhou, but Zhou Lang only thought of himself as a child and went on a rampage, not caring that old Zhou's face was livid.

The old Zhou family was born in a peasant family, and she didn't know a few big characters. She just coaxed her grandson to play in the back house every day. She didn't care about righteousness in the world. She was an ordinary citizen who only listened to the court's laws and knew how to pinch "filial piety" .

Seeing that Zhou Lang dared to talk back like this at such a young age, he thought in his heart that Fang Miaolan was just putting on a show and didn't dare to talk back. She taught Zhou Lang how to speak and scold her at home.

Looking at the little boy who was standing on the side with his head bowed, he immediately yelled, "The shopkeeper, the shopkeeper! What's wrong with the waiter in your shop? You didn't even look while walking, and bumped into my good grandson?"

The shopkeeper and his wife hurriedly came down from the second floor, apologizing with a smile on their faces, they only said that the waiter of this shop had just arrived and was young, so please don't blame the old Mrs. Zhou.However, the old Zhou family refused to let him go. He insisted that the waiter bumped into Zhou Ming and soiled Zhou Ming's clothes, so he had to pay 50 taels of silver.

The shopkeeper and his wife didn't want to pay back the money, so they smiled at the old Mrs. Zhou, pulled the little boy who was hiding aside, picked up the broom next to him, and beat them several times, cursing: "You little bastard, I'm so kind!" Taking you in for nothing, and even causing me trouble, why don't you kneel down and apologize to this madam?"

The boy was beaten several times, and there were bloodstains on his calf, but he still didn't say a word, as if he was used to it, and he didn't know how to dodge.

Zhou Lang looked uncomfortable, rushed up to stop the shopkeeper and beat him, said: "You are so unreasonable, I just said clearly, my cousin tripped him on purpose and made him fall, why do you still beat him?" Staring at old Zhou, he said, "What are you doing to turn right and wrong into black and white?"

Of course the shopkeeper didn't dare to move Zhou Lang, so he just smiled and said, "Miss, you don't know, my nephew's birth is unknown, not to mention his parents' death from Xiao Ke, even those close to him will be unlucky. My kindness Take him here to eat and live, and only ask him to do some light work, you see, this has caused me trouble again!"

Zhou Lang was puzzled, and looked back at the little boy, seeing him with disheveled hair, his head bowed in silence, feeling a little sad for no reason.She doesn't believe that what is born is unknown, and her father is her mother.

"It turned out to be a disaster, no wonder I caused my good grandson to fall!" The old Zhou family was being gagged by Zhou Lang with a guilty conscience, and now he heard what the shopkeeper said about "unknown birth", as if he had found an excuse to feel at ease, and blamed everything today It was on the little boy's head, "My granddaughter is usually the most well-behaved, but she even dared to talk back when she encountered this evil today. She must have been affected by this evil."

Fang Miaolan was a little stunned when she heard this. Lang'er lived on the farm, and she loved and spoiled her a lot, so she made her daughter a bit skinny. Why did the mother-in-law attribute this to a boy she just met?Besides, today's incident was obviously Zhou Ming's mistake.

Seeing the old Zhou family and Zhou Lang quarreling, Zhou Ming stopped sobbing. Instead, he stared at the show, and when the shopkeeper said "unknown", he also pointed at the boy and said, "Grandma, I didn't bump into him, he I fell down, and made me fall too! It was all his fault!"

"Hey, why are you talking nonsense with your eyes open? You were the one who tripped him up!" Zhou Lang couldn't believe that such a young child would lie shamelessly in front of everyone, and shook his head speechlessly, "Such a young boy! You can tell lies just like that, as a scumbag reserve, you really have unlimited potential."

Although everyone was stunned by Zhou Lang's sudden and inexplicable words, it did not prevent them from understanding that this was not a good boast, and they immediately laughed at the old Zhou and Zhou Ming.

The old Mrs. Zhou was ridiculed by others, and suddenly felt that her face was dull. She pointed at Fang Miaolan and said, "Mr. Fang, let's see what you have taught your daughter! Come home with me and learn the rules again!"

It's not easy to make a fool of yourself in front of everyone. When you go back home, everything is up to her. Aren't you afraid that you can't make Fang and her daughter bow their heads and be obedient?

I thought that driving them to live on the farm would save them money and save them money, but looking at it now, I was wrong.It's better to teach them a lesson under the nose!

"Mother-in-law, this..." Although life in the farm is poor, it is more comfortable than at Zhou's house. Why would Fang Miaolan want to move back?But she couldn't refute what old Zhou said, so she couldn't think of any good ideas for a while.

Zhou Lang also knew that it would be bad luck to go back with the old Mrs. Zhou, so he sneered and said, "Grandma, have you forgotten? Two years ago, when my father entered the soil, you drove me and my mother out without paying any money. Isn't it just to leave all the grandpa's wealth to your own son? Why, are you willing to give the money to our mother and daughter now?"

It is impossible for the old Zhou family to be willing to share the money, so he immediately said: "You are not a son, you have the face to want to share the money?" After thinking about it, he said: "Your grandfather is not dead yet! You unfilial dead girl, how could you Curse your grandfather!"

Zhou Lang sneered and said: "Don't talk nonsense about relying on me, I dare not take it!" Then he said: "You didn't give us a penny to drive us out to live, now you think we are stupid? Want to go back and be tortured by you?"

The old Zhou family wanted to scold again, so Zhou Lang suddenly changed the subject and said: "I'm a girl, and I can't share the family property, but I can pay the debts. If grandma wants to take me and mother back, she will owe us to the ancient medical hall first." Please pay back the 500 taels of silver, lest Dr. Gu come to ask for the bill."

"500 taels?" Old Zhou took a deep breath. She also knew the reputation of the ancient medical hall, and the fees were always very expensive. Many people went to treat injuries, and it was normal to spend a few hundred taels of silver.

Seeing that the old Zhou family was frightened, Zhou Lang felt complacent, and continued, "Yes, I broke my head. The old doctor gave me several injections and prescribed a lot of expensive tonics. Mother is worried that I can't pay the medical expenses. What! Now that I’m going home with my grandma, my mother doesn’t have to worry about not having money to pay back.”

Old Zhou's old face was pulled, and he said unhappily: "How can there be so much money at home? What expensive tonics you took when you were young, you still took them back."

Zhou Lang shook his head, "That's not okay. The medicine has already been prepared, so how can I use it after returning it? Besides, even if the medicine is returned, I still have to pay 300 taels for acupuncture."

When it came to taking money out, old Zhou fell silent.Seeing this, Fang Miaolan knew that she had hit the old Zhou's weakness, and hurried forward and said, "Mother-in-law, Lang'er is also your granddaughter, and now she owes 500 taels of silver. The daughter-in-law really has nothing to do, please ask the mother-in-law to pay the money." ?”

The old Mrs. Zhou would not be taken advantage of. After talking for a long time, regardless of what happened, he just said to the shopkeeper: "You asked someone to take my order to my house just now. Your restaurant is noisy. I don't like being around."

After all, regardless of Fang Miaolan's and Zhou Lang's expressions, Zhou Ming was pulled past the two and left the restaurant to go home.

A farce ended abruptly like this. The spectators around either praised or shook their heads and laughed without saying a word. After being greeted by the shopkeeper, they went to eat separately.

And Zhou Lang won for a while, and suddenly felt that he was dreaming.Unexpectedly, looking at the aggressive old Zhou, he was dealt with like this.

Fang Miaolan apologized to the shopkeeper, and dragged Zhou Lang back to her seat for dinner.Zhou Lang refused. She saw that the boy was still shrunk to one side, his whole body was tense, obviously enduring the pain, but he still didn't cry out.

"Aren't you in pain?" Zhou Lang stepped forward and asked.

The boy turned and hid, but did not answer, only a pair of blood-red eyes hidden in the scattered hair, revealing a little stubbornness.
