Chapter 27
After Zhou Lang became a teacher, he took Itachi and learned a few decent moves from Huang Yaoshi. Fang Miaolan was very happy, and Huang Yaoshi didn't care if he stared at her from time to time.
And after Huang Yaoshi took in two smart apprentices, he felt that he had more face, and felt that he had an extra relationship with Fang Miaolan, so he was very happy.
However, no matter how happy he was, Huang Yaoshi never forgot that the purpose of coming out was to find his daughter who had run away from home.
So, after Huang Yaoshi gave Zhou Lang and Itachi the homework of martial arts, he took his leave and went to find Huang Rong.
"After I find my daughter, I will pick Lang'er and Itachi to Peach Blossom Island."
The two children paid homage to their masters, so they would naturally go to Peach Blossom Island to study. Huang Yaoshi and Fang Miaolan agreed that they would come home to live for a few days every six months.
Although Fang Miaolan is reluctant, she also knows that the world is in chaos, and it is important to learn some life-saving skills.After finally worshiping the master, you can't let the child be kicked out by the master just because you don't want to.
Huang Yaoshi left for five or six days, Zhou Lang and Itachi got up early every morning to practice, and then followed Fang Miaolan to study and write.
Zhou Lang is not a child. Although he has never practiced brush calligraphy before, it is still no problem to write all the strokes.Itachi had never been exposed to bugs before, and his small hands clenched the bugs like fists, his fingers were stiff, and he didn't know how to write.
Fang Miaolan corrected his posture several times, and he also tried hard to learn, but he was still nervous and stiff.
Zhou Lang himself scribbled a few big characters on the paper, and watched Itachi write with great interest.Holding the brush, the little ferret held his breath as if he was facing a formidable enemy, and each stroke seemed to take all his strength.
It's a pity that Itachi doesn't have the memory of his previous life, otherwise, he wouldn't need to learn this calligraphy.However, watching Itachi write clumsily now is quite interesting.At least, Zhou Lang doesn't have to always bear the pressure from Itachi's IQ.
Of course, when Itachi matured day by day and was better than Zhou Lang in terms of martial arts, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and learned faster and better, Zhou Lang felt crushed by genius again.However, this is already a later thing.
The three of them were concentrating on studying on the stone table when they suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.
Old man Fang went to open the door while shouting "Who is it?"The people outside the door didn't answer, and when they saw the door opened, they all rushed in.
Five or six servants in short jackets walked in front, followed by two old men in brocade robes, who should be the masters of these servants.
Fang Miaolan hurriedly stood up, protecting Zhou Lang and Itachi behind her.
Zhou Lang was curious, and looked with his head. He was facing an old man with gray temples, with his back slightly on his back, but his head was upturned. He pretended to be gentle. It was Zhou Lang's grandfather, Zhou Yuanwailang.
Next to Zhou Yuanwailang was of course the old Mrs. Zhou, who was very arrogant with his chin upturned.She looked around the small courtyard, saw the stone table behind Fang Miaolan, and waved to the servant next to her, "Clean it up."
It was as if Fang Miaolan and the others were some unavoidable dirty things.
Seeing old Zhou's posture, Fang Miaolan didn't know what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd. She was afraid that she and her two children would be at a disadvantage, so she pulled the two children a few steps aside.
The servants next to him were naturally happy to see it come true. They had also heard that there was a demon living in the farm. When they saw the blood-red eyes of Itachi, they were afraid and disgusted. Moldy.
"I don't know what the father-in-law and mother-in-law are going to do today?" Fang Miaolan asked.
Zhou Yuanwailang didn't speak, just snorted heavily to express his displeasure.
The old Mrs. Zhou also squinted at people, with a displeased face, and began to criticize Fang Miaolan: "As a mother-in-law, I let you live on the farm, with food, drink and shelter. Is it good enough for you? You heartless Hoof, you brought the disaster to our Zhou family's farm, do you want to harm the crops on the farm? Or do you want to harm your father-in-law from the bottom of your heart?"
It turned out that it was because she kept Itachi at home!
She had expected that there would be some trouble in taking Itachi in, but she didn't expect that her parents-in-law would come to find trouble.
"Mother-in-law, Itachi is just an innocent child, not a scourge. He has lived on the farm for many days, and there is nothing wrong with his wife or the people on the farm!" Fang Miaolan explained.
It's a pity that the old Zhou didn't listen at all, and only said angrily: "Can you tell if there is something wrong in a day or two? The crops on the farm are not yet ready for harvest. If you leave him on the farm, you will offend God." , when the harvest is not good, what will our Zhou family eat!"
"It seems that you intend to harm our Zhou family, don't you?" Old Zhou said angrily.
The more Zhou Lang listened, the more unhappy he became, and he interjected: "Grandma is being unreasonable. What does a good harvest have to do with the ferret? The ferret is not a scourge. If the harvest on the farm is not good, it is because the people on the farm are not good. How can you blame it?" Go to the weasel."
"Hmph!" Zhou Yuanwailang, who didn't speak, became upset, "Why do you, a girl, interrupt when the elders talk? Is this how your mother taught you?"
Zhou Lang had no choice but to close his mouth unhappily, always gagging her with such words.The more she talked, the more Fang Miaolan would be scolded.
Fang Miaolan said: "Lang'er is right. Itachi is just an innocent child. Father-in-law and mother-in-law don't listen to those rumors spread by others. It probably has red eyes because of his ancestors' blood in the Western Regions."
In a hurry, Fang Miaolan remembered the possibility that Huang Yaoshi had told her.
Old Zhou was ignorant and had never heard of people from the Western Regions having eyes of different colors. He still babbled a few words about red eyes, but Old Zhou knew something about them.
However, even if he knew the reason, Mr. Zhou was still unwilling to believe it. He even believed that the red eyes that everyone said were unknown.
Old man Zhou showed that he glared at Zhou Lang first, and then slowly glanced at Itachi. After avoiding it as if nothing had happened, Fang Miaolan finally said, "This monster can't live on my Zhou family's farm! You should send him away." Go elsewhere!"
Zhou Lang became anxious as soon as he heard that, he held Weasel's hand and refused to let go, and then went to look at Fang Miaolan with an anxious expression on his face.
Fang Miaolan gave Zhou Lang a comforting look, and said to the old man, "I have decided to raise this child as my own, and I cannot send him to other places, and there is no place for him elsewhere. Please forgive me, sir."
Hearing Fang Miaolan's words, old Zhou was furious, and immediately yelled: "Look, look, look, you must be resentful that I sent you to live in the farm, so you purposely hired a demon to harm us, right?" Crying to the old man Zhou: "Old man, although we are getting old, we still have to enjoy our old age! The grandson has not grown up to marry a wife, and he was hurt by this little hoof, what should we do!"
Old man Zhou's face was extremely ugly, and his eyes staring at Fang Miaolan became more and more unkind.
After a long time, he said slowly: "After Dalang left, you became the Fang family again, and there was no reason to call us Zhou Guanzhu, but since you live on the Zhou family's farm, you have to do whatever you want. Think about it for our Zhou family? Even if Dalang is dead, he is still my son, why don’t you ask my wife to hurt my old bones like this!”
The words were so serious that even the surname and clan were mentioned, Fang Miaolan didn't understand something, and her face turned pale immediately.
Elder Zhou didn't want a demon to live on the Zhou family's farm, but Zhou Lang wanted to take Itachi in. How should she choose?
She has accumulated more than 200 taels of silver.With so much money, you can rent or buy another small yard.
But the small yard I bought probably only has two or three rooms, and the location is probably not good.Coupled with the arrangement of the house, food, rice, oil, salt, human relations and entertainment, and the need to save a dowry for Zhou Lang, how many days can the 200 taels of silver last?
Fang Miaolan gritted her teeth and insisted on asking: "Father-in-law, my daughter-in-law will never send this child away, just say what you have to say!"
The old Zhou said: "You really don't care about the life and death of our two old bones!"
Old man Zhou stopped beating around the bush and said directly: "If you want to raise this monster, then go back to your own home to raise it!"
This meant that Fang Miaolan was to be driven back to her natal family, and she was not even allowed to live in the farm.
But Fang Miaolan's family is in Jiaxing Mansion, and there is only one younger brother who has not been close to her since she was a child. If she goes back, where will she have a place to live?
Zhou Lang tugged at Fang Miaolan's sleeve, and said in a low voice, "Mother, we can support ourselves if we don't live in the farm, why bother to suffer here."
Fang Miaolan pursed her lips and smiled, touched Zhou Lang's head, and said softly to the old man, "Since father-in-law said so, I will take the two children home!"
But the old Zhou family refused: "If you want to go home, you can go home by yourself. Lang'er is from the Zhou family, so I naturally want to take it back." The old Zhou family was still thinking about the dowry money for marrying Zhou Lang to a rich man or something. .
Fang Miaolan looked at the old Zhou family coldly, without concealing the disgust and malice in her eyes, "Who is from the Zhou family, Lang'er is my daughter, so naturally my surname is Fang."
Since she was going to tear her face apart, she didn't bother to talk to them politely.
The old Mrs. Zhou wanted to talk again, but Mr. Zhou suddenly became angry, and scolded: "Okay! You can't take care of the little ones in the family. What are you taking her back for?"
The old Mrs. Zhou murmured, she was still quite afraid of her husband losing his temper after many years.
Old man Zhou breathed out slowly, looked at the bricks and tiles in the yard on the farm, Fang Miaolan said: "You pack it up, and leave tomorrow."
"Tomorrow? In such a hurry, how can we finish cleaning up?" Zhou Lang was in a hurry, but Fang Miaolan complied.
She understood what Old Man Wai Zhou meant, and it was nothing more than simply packing up some of her own dowry, and she was not allowed to take away things that "belong" to the Zhou family.
"Kowtow to your grandparents."
Seeing that Zhou Laoyuanwai and the old Zhou family were about to go out, Fang Miaolan pushed Zhou Lang.Zhou Lang didn't want to, but he still listened to Fang Miaolan's words, and knelt down in front of Mr. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou.Itachi stood on the side, and when he saw Zhou Lang kneeling down, he also knelt down silently.
Seeing Itachi next to her with her, Zhou Lang felt much more at ease, and didn't care about the fact that Zhou Laoyuanwai and the old Zhou family drove them out, and kowtowed together with Itachi.
After this farewell, she and Fang Miaolan sorted out their relationship with the Zhou family. The journey will be far away in the future, and it is very likely that the mountains and rivers will never see each other again.
