The Heavens Begin with Dream of the Red Chamber

Chapter 75 Apply eye drops

Let’s talk about Jia Yucun. As soon as he was appointed as the magistrate of Yingtian Prefecture, a murder case was brought to his attention. It was about two families fighting over a maid, and neither side would give in, which led to a fight and a murder.

At that time Jia Yucun summoned the plaintiff to the trial. After a few words, he learned that the case happened a year ago. The victim had been filing a lawsuit for a year, but no one was willing to judge the case. He immediately became furious and wanted to order the arrest of the person, but the doorman next to him winked at him, which clearly meant that he was not allowed to issue the order.

Jia Yucun was very suspicious and had to stop. He immediately left the hall and went to the secret room. All the servants left and only the doorman was left to serve.

The man hurried forward to pay his respects. After a conversation, Jia Yucun finally understood the whole story and who the people involved were.

The doorman brought the "official protection talisman" to Jia Yucun and showed it to him, and kept persuading him not to bend the law for personal gain.

Jia Yucun had suffered a great loss in the past, so he was not willing to give in easily now. He just pretended to be serious and refused to nod. However, he wanted to show off, so he came up with a bad idea to close the case by making Xue Pan die suddenly.

After hearing this, Jia Yucun agreed. He bluffed and issued documents to arrest people. He captured a few servants of the Xue family and brought them back to serve.

The man then went to mediate secretly and sought the cooperation of the Xue family.

This man was an old official with many years of experience and was very familiar with government affairs. No one knew what lies he had used to deceive the people from the Xue family, but they actually agreed to this solution and reported a "sudden death".

Jia Yucun took advantage of the situation and settled the case at random. He even had the audacity to write two letters to Jia Zheng and Wang Ziteng, the governor of the Beijing camp, saying things like "your nephew's matter is over and there is no need to worry about it".

The people from those two families had no idea how he got married, yet they still remembered his kindness.

After receiving the letter, Mrs. Wang showed it to Aunt Xue, trying to curry favor and seek credit.

Aunt Xue didn't care much about the case of beating someone to death. Such trivial matters happened every day in Jinling City. The government naturally knew how to deal with them. Did she still need to worry about it?

What's more, the Xue family now works for Master Zhan, so they don't care about what happened in the past.

However, she still had to accept this favor from her sister and brother-in-law, so she took her sister aside and talked to her intimately for a while before letting her go.

After sending her sister away, Aunt Xue thought for a while and asked Hongye to pass the news to Xiangling so that her adopted daughter Xiangling would also know about this.

As soon as Hongye passed the news, Xiangling told her master about it in bed at night. After hearing it, Master Zhan vaguely remembered the incident.

Just because the Xue family didn't know about the hidden dangers behind Xue Pan's incident, it didn't mean that Mr. Zhan didn't know about it. So Mr. Zhan came to the house to see Aunt Xue the next day.

Aunt Xue has been "taught" by Hongye and others these past few nights, learning how to successfully "seduce" Master Zhan to bed. Now that she sees Master Zhan coming to find her, she feels uncomfortable all over. She stands there with her legs clamped together, feeling inexplicably weak all over and having the urge to change her underwear again.

"Master... Master Zhan is here to see me. What do you want me to do?"

Mr. Zhan glanced at Aunt Xue, who had a dazed look and a strange expression, and his heart was slightly moved, so he quickly collected his thoughts.

Don’t touch high-voltage wires!

"Ahem..." Master Zhan cleared his throat and started talking about business. "I heard that Jia Yucun from Yingtian Prefecture has settled your family's case?"

Standing in front of Mr. Zhan, Aunt Xue was still a little dazed, so she answered casually:
"Yes, Jia Yucun has a history with the Jia family and has received a favor from my brother, so he has closed the case."

"Really? Haha..." Master Zhan sneered and asked, "Then do you know how he closed the case?"

"This..." Aunt Xue was stunned for a moment, then calmed down a little and said in astonishment: "I don't know the details. Mr. Zhan asked this, is there any meaning behind it?"

Master Zhan then told him all the known situations, and then sneered:
"From today on, Xue Pan is a dead man and will not be able to inherit your Xue family's land and shops."

Hearing this, Aunt Xue's face turned pale, and the original romantic feelings in her heart disappeared instantly. She couldn't help but exclaimed:

"How could this be?"

"My Xue family has no grudges against Jia Yucun, and we still have a relationship with him. How could he act so recklessly?"

Mr. Zhan said without thinking:

"What's so hard to understand about this?"

"When local officials handle cases, they always consider the attitudes of local gentry and powerful people. Jia Yucun made the judgment in this way, it must be that someone in the local area wanted him to do so."

"If I'm not mistaken, it's probably someone from your Xue family who is obstructing the process. Otherwise, Jia Yucun is not a fool, how could he do such a stupid thing?"

Aunt Xue's eyes widened even more, and she cried out in a trembling voice:

"This is impossible!"

"I am the mistress of the Xue family, and Pan'er is the patriarch of the Xue family. Which member of the family dares to rebel like this?"

Anyway, Aunt Xue had no way to confirm with others, and everything was up to Mr. Zhan himself, so he just brought out a conspiracy theory he had seen on the Internet and talked about it to his heart's content.

"You know what kind of person Xue Pan is in Jinling City. You can tell at a glance that he is not someone who can support the family."

"Which of the branches of your family is willing to entrust their future wealth and life to a fool like Xue Pan?"

"However, due to the difference between legitimate and illegitimate children, they have no way to overthrow the clan leader Xue Pan openly, so they can only play some tricks in secret."

"Just looking at the current situation, their actions are actually quite measured."

"Xue Pan is nominally dead, but in fact he is still alive, and he can still marry and have children, and he will never have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of his life."

"But the Xue family's future industries, the title of imperial merchant, etc., will slowly be taken away by other branches, and will be stripped away from your family bit by bit."

"You should have known this when the Xue family started to split up."

"To put it more bluntly, if the emperor wants to punish you in the future, it will be your branch that will fight. Those of you who have already separated can stay out of it."

"Although it's not that easy in reality, if they really find a strong enough backer, the separation will be enough to excuse them from the crime."

Aunt Xue's face turned pale and she trembled all over. Then she threw herself at Mr. Zhan's feet, hugged his thighs with both hands, and subconsciously rubbed them with her soft breasts, begging bitterly:

"Master, we are a family!"

"I, I can do anything, I just ask you to save us!"

Master Zhan only felt that his legs were plump, soft and elastic. His throat couldn't help but feel dry and itchy, and he coughed a few times in a hurry.

"Cough cough..."

"Don't worry, Aunt Xue. The master will help save people without you saying anything."

"As for the Xue family's assets, they have long been in the master's pocket, and they must not be given to outsiders."

Aunt Xue nodded hurriedly and kept expressing her determination.

"Very good, very good. These properties of our family will belong to the master from now on. They must not be given to those outsiders of the Xue family!"

"Not only the property, but everything in the family will belong to you from now on, including... me."

Seeing that it would be easy to make mistakes if he stayed any longer, Master Zhan hurriedly bent down to pick up Aunt Xue... No, he helped her up, and then massaged her knees that were sore from kneeling, and instructed:

"Master, of course I can solve this matter, but it is not convenient for me to do so right now. Wait for me to teach you a way, and then you can go and settle the score with your sister and brother-in-law."

Aunt Xue felt her knees were sore and she had the urge to kneel before Master Zhan, so she just lowered her head and said vaguely:
"Master, please give me your orders. No matter what it is, I will do it without any compromise."

Mr. Zhan kindly gave some advice:

"Look at Jia Yucun. He was able to get his official position back with the help of the Jia family, but he turned his back on kindness. He is clearly an ungrateful villain. We cannot let him off!"

"Go and cry to your sister and ask the Jia family to deal with Jia Yucun."

"Jia Yucun is a greedy person. He must have accepted money from the Xue family. Now that something has happened, he will definitely turn around and punish the Xue family severely in order to protect himself."

"Even if the Xue family didn't do this, Jia Yucun must give an explanation, otherwise your brother-in-law and your brother will be the first to let him go!"

"We don't need to do anything. We can just sit back and watch the fight between the tigers and the dogs."

After hearing this, Aunt Xue happily agreed, wiped away her tears, and ran to the front yard.

Mr. Zhan actually wanted to go over and have a taste of the melon, but the problem was that he was a man, not a member of the Jia family, and it was not convenient for him to intervene in many matters in the inner courtyard. So he had to go and consolidate the effect of the medicine for Baochai, and only asked Hongye to follow Aunt Xue and write down the details and tell him in the evening.

Mrs. Wang was sitting idly in the room when she heard someone come to report that Aunt Xue had arrived. Before she could even put on her shoes and go down to greet her, she saw her sister rushing in like a gust of wind. When she saw her, she threw herself into her arms and burst into tears.

Mrs. Wang was very familiar with her own sister. She had been spoiled since she was a child. Fortunately, everything went smoothly for her. She was smiling most of the time. She had rarely seen her cry. She was immediately startled and hurriedly hugged her, asking in a trembling voice:
"But Baochai...isn't that okay?"

Aunt Xue paused in her tears, shook her head, and wailed:

"It's a pity that my daughter hasn't even died yet, but my son died first..."

Mrs. Wang could no longer sit still, so she hurriedly got off the kang, helped her sit down, and asked hurriedly:

"What happened to Wenlong?"

"What happened?"

Aunt Xue sobbed and repeated to her what Master Zhan had said, then sobbed:
"That Jia Yucun is such a jerk. If he doesn't want to do it, he should just say so. I didn't ask him to do it, so why did he want to make my son a dead man?"

"The most abominable thing is that he did such a disgusting thing but never said a word about it. He just wrote a letter to curry favor with me."

"If it weren't for Nian Si's thoughtfulness, who had people in Yingtian Prefecture send us news from time to time, I'm afraid my family would have been kept in the dark!"

Mrs. Wang was shocked when she heard this, and said hesitantly:

"This...can't be done, right?"

"Is there some misunderstanding here?"

"No matter how stupid Jia Yucun is, he should know that we helped him get his job back. He shouldn't have the guts to disgust us like this, right?"

Aunt Xue stopped talking and just kept crying.

"Why is my life so miserable?"

"I can't do anything about Baochai's illness. I can only watch her die. Pan'er also died inexplicably!"

"I shouldn't have entered Beijing!"

Hearing Aunt Xue crying like this, Mrs. Wang also felt uncomfortable.

Especially when Aunt Xue said that she shouldn't go to Beijing, it was obvious that she had some resentment towards her.

There was nothing wrong with Baochai's health originally, but the imperial physician she found was a quack and he made her condition worse!
Wenlong's case was not a big deal, but the Jia family's retainer was a fool and messed it up!

It’s no wonder that her younger sister complained about her. As an elder sister, she felt ashamed of her family.

Mrs. Wang turned around several times on the ground, still unable to make up her mind, so she could only comfort her sister:

"Don't be so anxious to cry. When the master comes back, I will tell him about this matter and ask him to send someone to Yingtian Prefecture to inquire."

"If Jia Yucun really dares to do this, we must not let him off easily!"

"Don't worry about Wenlong. Whether it's a mistake by the clerk or they have the same name, we can always find a way to find him later."

Aunt Xue cried for a long time before she was calmed down and went back sobbing.

Mrs. Wang sat alone in the room, sulking for a long time. After she finally waited for Master Zheng to come back, she hurried over and told him what had happened.

Jia Zheng was also shocked after hearing this. He also didn't believe that Jia Yucun would do such a thing.

"Perhaps the information from Nian Si is not accurate enough. Let me ask someone to investigate before I tell you."

Jia Zheng immediately wrote a letter in which he severely rebuked Jia Yucun. Then he called in a personal attendant, handed him the letter, and said:
"Take the letter back to your hometown, burn incense to your ancestors first, and then ask your relatives in your hometown to find out what Jia Yucun's verdict was on the case of the eldest son of the Xue family beating someone to death."

"I heard someone say that Jia Yucun actually caused Xue Wenlong to die suddenly. This is simply outrageous!"

"Find out the truth first. If it is not true, burn the letter and do not need to see Jia Yucun. Just come back and report."

"But if that is true, you should take this letter and ask Jia Yucun how he really acted as the prefect and whether he still wants to continue doing so!"

The attendant took the order, put the letter away, went to the account to get the silver, and left the house to rush to Nanjing.

As for Mr. Zhan, after consolidating the effects of the medicine for Baochai, he played chess with Yingchun and Xichun for a while, chatted for a while, and then slowly went to the Ningguo Mansion next door.

Now that he is here, it feels like he has returned home and is extremely comfortable.

He first greeted Jia Zhen, politely declined Jia Zhen's idea of ​​calling Xichun back to keep him company, and then Zhan Twenty-four went straight to find Jia Rong.

He didn't dare touch Xichun carelessly, otherwise Jia Zhen would immediately turn against him and force him to marry Xichun.

You can't lose the entire forest for a single tree!
Jia Zhen felt regretful. After watching Zhan Ershi leave, he waved and called Lai Er over, frowning and saying:

"What's going on with my sister? Why is she so ignorant?"

"What's the point of hiding in the West Mansion all day?"

"She has to stick close to Brother Zhan Xian!"

"Send someone to tell her that it's easy for a girl to chase a boy. Tell her to be bolder and move faster!"

"I didn't even tell her to go to the Zhan family. At least now that Brother Zhan has come to our house, doesn't she know how to make an excuse to go home and visit me, her brother?" "This is related to her happiness for the rest of her life. Why do you make it seem like I, the master, am harming her?"

Lai Er hurriedly bowed and agreed, and asked someone to pass on the message.

When Zhan Ershisi entered Jia Rong's courtyard, he saw Jia Rong coming towards him with a smile, winking and saying:

"Uncle is really a diviner. Uncle Bao really came to me just now and asked me to help settle Qingwen."

"I have arranged for Qingwen to work as a maid for Aunt Yun'er as requested by my uncle. Uncle Bao was very satisfied and returned with many thanks."

"Now that Qingwen has fallen into Yun'er's hands, she will definitely be trained and docile. Uncle can enjoy her however he wants."

After hearing this, Zhan Ershisi frowned and said:

"How did you say this?"

"How could I do such a thing?"

"It's mainly because I see that Miss Qingwen looks down on the working people and is too vain, so I want to help her reform, that's all."

"Oh, yes, yes, it was my nephew who said the wrong thing."

Jia Rong nodded his head and admitted his mistake, then took the initiative to invite:

"Uncle, do you want to go and see Qingwen's current situation?"

"She only thought Yun'er was my nephew's aunt and she wouldn't have any doubts."

Zhan Ershisi originally had no plan to go there, but news came from outside that Miss Xichun had returned home.

Needless to say, it must be aimed at him again.

Instead of wasting time here with the cold-hearted Xichun, it would be better to go to Yun'er and have some fun.

So Zhan Twenty-four agreed. After the two of them had someone leave a message for Jia Zhen, they left the house together and headed towards Yun'er Villa.

When she arrived at Yun'er's side, she saw Qingwen wearing coarse cloth clothes, mingling with a few maids, busy with chores such as washing and chopping firewood.

Although Qingwen was beaten, she did not suffer any serious injuries. Apart from the scratches on her face, the other injuries on her body were not serious, at least it did not affect her walking and working.

Originally, Baoyu wanted to send Qingwen here to recuperate, and he probably had the idea of ​​asking other maids to serve Qingwen medicine.

He thought that this approach should be taken for granted, but the problem was that others did not think so.

And since he didn't say it explicitly, Jia Rong naturally pretended not to know.

Baoyu also mentioned this to his dance teacher Yun'er, asking her to take good care of Qingwen. Yun'er agreed in person, but then turned around and ordered Qingwen to do this and that.

As the top girl from Jinxiang Courtyard, Yun'er is much more sensible than Qingwen. She knows who the financial sponsor is and whose orders she should obey.

As for whether Baoyu would complain about her in the future, Yun'er was not afraid at all.

After spending a long time with Baoyu, Yun'er had to admit that Baoyu was one of the rare men in the world who was kind and gentle to women, but the problem was... Yun'er was a bully who only feared the strong and bullied the weak!
Even if Baoyu gets angry in the future, the worst that can happen is that Yun'er will cry in front of him!

What are you afraid of?
After seeing Master Zhan coming, Yun'er led a few people to welcome him in respectfully, and then urged a few maids to prepare wine and food.

After everything was arranged, Yun'er waved her hand, drove out the maids, closed the door, and then sat in Master Zhan's arms, serving him food and wine.

"Master, this Miss Qingwen seems to be a little too arrogant!"

"If the master hadn't told me her identity, I would have really thought she was a young lady from a wealthy family!"

"It turns out that she is just a maid of Master Bao, yet she has been spoiled to this extent. It really makes people jealous!"

Yun'er's tone was as sour as it could be, and her little mouth was pouted so much that it looked like a jealous person was hanging out of her mouth.

"Ha ha……"

Mr. Zhan burst into laughter and pointed at her and said:

"If she hadn't been so confused about her own identity, she would have become Baoyu's concubine long ago, and wouldn't have ended up mute and disfigured."

"The lady's body is the maid's life."

"Now it's your turn to manipulate her and let her know how a normal maid should live on a daily basis."

After hearing this, Yun'er smiled coquettishly and brought another cup of wine to Master Zhan's mouth.

"Don't worry, Master. I know how to deal with her."

"But Master, if she becomes our sister in the future, wouldn't it be very embarrassing for me to meet her again?"

Master Zhan comforted him:

"Don't worry. Qingwen's character doesn't allow her to be a concubine. Otherwise, the family will be in turmoil. At most, she will just be a maid to support the cowardly young lady."

Yun'er then felt relieved and stopped mentioning Qingwen. She just kept urging people to drink.

Mr. Zhan and Jia Rong exchanged cups and had a hearty meal, and the messy cups and plates were left to Qingwen and the others to clean up.

In front of Qingwen, Jia Rong pointed at Yun'er and ordered in a pretentious tone:

"Yun'er, you will stay in Uncle Zhan's room tonight and serve him. Don't neglect him."

Yun'er also cooperated and acted reluctant, but finally agreed obediently.

Qingwen beside her was stunned.

Although it is common in today's world to use concubines to entertain guests, Qingwen has never seen anyone do so since she was a child.

Jia Zheng was so fond of Aunt Zhao that he never used her to entertain guests.

She also believed that if those sisters really became Baoyu's aunts, Baoyu would certainly not use them to entertain guests.

But...will Baoyu accept her as his concubine?

If it were in the past, there might have been a slight possibility, after all, she came from the old lady's room and was favored by Baoyu.

But now, she was expelled from the Rongguo Mansion, her vocal cords were made mute by the poison, and her face was scratched. Not to mention becoming Baoyu's concubine, even ordinary rich men would probably not be willing to accept her.

If I don't want to be a concubine, who can I marry as my wife?
If they were well matched, she could only marry a servant, just like his brother and sister-in-law?
Is she willing?

But what if I'm unwilling?

Will she never marry?

If she made enough money, it seems like she wouldn't have to get married, but making money... is so hard!
In her life, she had never seen a job that paid higher than the one offered by Mr. Zhan, and of course she had never seen a job that was harder than that.

Qingwen knew that she couldn't continue working there for long.

So everything comes back to the question: what should she do in the future?
"What are you looking at? Hurry up and work! Stop being lazy!"

Yun'er's scolding voice interrupted Qingwen's thoughts. She did not dare to delay and hurriedly continued to clean up the dishes.

That night, Qingwen lay on the shabby wooden bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep for a long time.

Every time she turned over, the broken bed made a harsh "creaking" sound, which made her even more irritable. Her mind was in a mess and she thought about many things that she had never thought about before.

Master Zhan didn't know about the incident on her side, nor did he care at all. He hugged the soft Yun'er and slept until dawn. After washing up, he returned to the Zhan Mansion.

He had already found a teacher and was preparing to give Jia Huan and Qin Zhong special treatment.

Jia Huan has been having a great time these days. Those snobs in the mansion used to be unwilling to even look at him, but now they all smile when they meet him, calling him "Third Master" all the time, which makes him extremely excited.

After receiving the notice sent by Mr. Zhan, although he was reluctant to go to school, he was not a fool. He knew how his family gained its current glory. He could offend anyone except his "brother-in-law", so he had to reluctantly go to the Zhan Mansion to report.

"Haha, Brother Huan is here."

After seeing Jia Huan, Zhan Ershisi smiled and waved his hand to call him over, pointing to the handsome young man next to him and said:

"Come, come, this is Qin Zhong. You two must have known each other in the cram school. From now on, it will be just the two of you studying together. You should take care of each other."

Now Qin Zhong was also dazzled by wealth and after being rewarded by Zhan Ershisi several times, he became as obedient as his brother-in-law and did whatever he was asked to do.

He originally looked down on Jia Huan and only liked to play with Baoyu. But now that Tanchun's popularity is on the rise, Jia Huan's status has naturally risen as well. He is valued, and he can no longer treat Jia Huan as nothing as before.

In addition, Zhan Ershi had previously specifically instructed through Keqing to be more polite to Jia Huan, to play with Jia Huan more, and not to hang out with Baoyu all the time, so although Qin Zhong was unwilling in his heart, he had to do as he was told.

Now seeing Jia Huan looking at him, he stepped forward with a smile, bowed and said:
"My nephew Qin Zhong is honored to meet Uncle Huan. We rarely interacted with each other in the academy before. I hope Uncle Huan will take good care of me in the future."

Everyone in the Jia family only knew how to curry favor with Baoyu. Huan Saner had never received such respect before, so he immediately smiled and became more and more satisfied with his brother-in-law. He also smiled and bowed in return, saying:
"Okay, okay, let's go out and play together when we have time in the future."

The two were both teenagers, and after chatting and laughing for a while, they quickly became familiar with each other. Zhan Ershisi then took them to see the tutor.

The tutor's surname was Zhao. He was a juren who had failed the examinations many times. The cost of studying in the capital was high, so even if he wanted to serve as a shogun, he had no way to do so. He had no choice but to teach for a living.

If we really talk about famous teachers, there may not be many, but as a juren, his talent and knowledge are more than enough to teach Jia Huan and the other two.

Zhan Ershisi first let Jia Huan and the other two meet Mr. Zhao, and then smiled and said to them:

"You all know that my Zhan family is a family of merchants, and we like to use money to talk when doing things."

"I won't play tricks on you. Everything will be measured in silver."

"I had people set a hundred or so learning progress standards, some easy and some difficult, and posted them on the wall of this room. It clearly states how much silver you will be rewarded for reaching certain standards."

"The teacher is the judge. As long as you meet the requirements, you can come to the teacher for assessment. If you pass the assessment, you can come to me to receive the money."

"I have already made an agreement with the teacher. When he teaches, he won't hit you or scold you. If you want to listen, just listen carefully. If you don't want to listen, just say so and he can save his breath."

"This classroom is specially prepared for you. You can come whenever you want and leave whenever you want. He will not force you."

"From today on, I will no longer reward you with any money. If you want to make money, you have to complete this learning task."

"If you want to make more money, study harder."

"If you really regard money as dirt, then just ignore what I said."

After hearing this, Jia Huan and the other man were horrified and hurried to the wall to look at the words posted there. They saw that the regulations were very clear.

Such as:

Recite the entire Three Character Classic/Hundred Family Names/Thousand Character Classic correctly and you will receive one tael of silver. (Only once a month for three months)
Recite any of the 20 chapters of The Analects without any mistakes and you will receive one tael of silver. (You can only receive this reward once a month for three months)
……

Write a poem on a given topic, pass/good/excellent, and receive half a tael/one tael/two taels of silver. (Only once every seven days)
Pass/good/excellent in solving the sutras, half a tael/one tael/two taels of silver. (Limited to once a day)
One tael/three taels/ten taels of silver for one eight-part essay (one tael per day)
……

Those who pass the county examination/are in the top ten/first place will receive half a tael/one tael/five taels of silver per month for three months.

Those who pass the provincial examination/are among the top ten/first will receive one tael/five taels/twenty taels of silver per month for half a year.

Those who pass the academy examination/are in the top ten/first place will receive five taels of silver/twenty taels of silver/fifty taels of silver per month for one year.

The first place in the case/small three yuan, fifty taels of silver/one hundred taels of silver per month, for one year.

……

Jia Huan and Qin Zhong whispered to each other and felt that even with their current level, even if they didn't make any progress, they could still earn a few taels of silver a month. If they worked hard, it would not be impossible to earn more than ten taels.

The only thing to worry about is that all simple tasks have frequency and number limits, and it becomes more difficult to earn silver as time goes by.

But the task is difficult and the reward is high!

If you can get a small three yuan, you will have 1,200 taels of silver a year, which would be so comfortable!

Although neither of them thought they could obtain the title of scholar, and even didn't think they could pass the county examination, but they could always think about it!

The two of them just thought about it, and their eyes lit up and they smiled so hard that their lips stretched to their ears.

"Okay, just study hard. How much money you can make is up to you. I won't care."

After putting down the bait, Zhan Ershisi smiled and handed the two naughty kids to Mr. Zhao, then patted his butt and left.

If this still doesn't help the two of them improve, then he has no other options. He can only say that they are like mud on the wall and no one can save them.

After all, these two naughty kids are not their own sons, so they can neither be beaten nor scolded.

Especially Jia Huan, who was born a bastard and is a very sensitive person. If you scold him, he might think that you look down on him and hate you for the rest of his life.

Qin Zhong is not a good person either. When his sister died, he was not sad at all and was only busy fooling around with the little nun.

These two are just my cheap brothers-in-law, why bother?
Just do your best and respect the fate of others.
