Chapter 65
The owner of this generation of the Zhou family is named Zhou Duan. The family business of the Zhou family was established by Zhou Duan's grandfather. Zhou Duan's talent is not outstanding, what the family was like when he took over the family business from his father, and what it will be like later, if it is not for Zhou Hanju's help, the Zhou family may gradually decline.

Zhou Duan is now past the age of knowing his destiny, because he has been worrying about his family's business all year round, his face looks older than it actually is, and the wrinkles between his brows and his forehead are very deep.In the past few days, due to the difficulties at home, he went out and ran for several days, and he looked even more tired.

He and Zhou Mujin walked to the entrance of the main hall, and when the maids outside said that Mrs. Qin and Zhou Hanyu were entertaining guests, they prepared to wait a while before going in.

They went to the side room to sit temporarily, Zhou Duan rubbed the center of his brows, showing exhaustion on his face.

"Father, why don't you go back to your room and rest for a while, sister, I'll tell her." Zhou Mujin looked at Zhou Duan worriedly and said.

Zhou Duan waved his hand, "It's okay, I can still hold on, and I have to discuss this with your elder sister carefully, after all, it's not a trivial matter."

Zhou Mujin nodded, but his expression was very frustrated, and he thought to himself, if he hadn't been so useless, his father wouldn't have relied on his sister for everything.

Zhou Duan was also very helpless. If the eldest son could be alone, he would not have to work so hard. Unfortunately, his life is not good. He gave birth to two sons and two daughters. She is quite clever, but she is still young and has an unstable temperament, and she doesn't seem to be able to support the family business. The eldest daughter is smart and capable, and she is a good hand inside and outside, but her identity as a woman is still shackling her , what can be done is limited, as for the youngest daughter...

Zhou Duan shook his head in distress again, thinking that the hope of the family this time might be tied to the youngest daughter alone, he felt that he was really incompetent as a father.

At this time in the main hall, Jiang Shi had already stated the main purpose of her visit this time, after all, she was still not thick-skinned enough, and after she finished speaking, she was afraid to look at Zhou Hanju and Qin Shi's expressions.

However, Zhou Hanyu didn't think it was a big deal, so he nodded readily and said, "Sister Jiang, don't worry, I will go to Baiweilou to say hello, and you can set up a stall there with peace of mind, and it will never happen again like the day before yesterday thing."

Jiang received an affirmative answer, her heart finally fell into her stomach, and she quickly got up to thank her.

"Thank you, sister. For the sake of my family, I have to trouble you this time."

"Grandma Li doesn't need to be too polite, we will be in-laws soon, so naturally we need to help a lot." Qin said with a smile quickly.Zhou Hanyu also immediately stepped forward to help Mrs. Jiang.

After the three of them sat down again, Zhou Hanyu said again: "Sister Jiang, it's getting late, why don't you stay and eat together without worrying."

It's not easy for Mrs. Jiang to slap her ass and leave immediately after finishing her work, so she nodded her head.

At this moment, a maid came over and whispered something in Qin's ear, and Qin said to Jiang: "Grandma Li, follow the maid to the guest room to rest and have some snacks. The meal will be ready later. I'm sending someone over to call you."

Mrs. Jiang knew that Mrs. Qin probably had something to tell Zhou Hanyu, so she got up and gave a blessing, and left with the maidservant.

After she left, Qin immediately spoke to Zhou Hanyu and said, "Your father and elder brother are back, I will ask the servant girl to call them over."

When Zhou Hanju heard that his father had returned, he looked a little apprehensive, and nodded quickly.

Zhou Duan and Zhou Mujin walked into the main hall, Qin immediately got up and supported Zhou Duan, helped him to sit on the chair, and then said with a distressed face: "I'm all thin, I must not be well these few days Have a meal."

"How can I even think about eating now?" Zhou Duan said with a sigh.

"Father, what does Master Liu say?" Zhou Hanyu asked immediately, worried about the family affairs.

Zhou Duan sighed again, pondered for a moment, and then said: "The Liu family didn't refuse this time, they made a request. They want our two shops in the county, and..."

Having said that, he suddenly hesitated.

Zhou Hanyu became even more anxious when he heard the words, and asked anxiously, "Father, what do they want?"

"They still want Han Han to marry him, the youngest of the Liu family." Zhou Duan breathed a sigh of relief, and said as if exhausting all his strength.

"Too much deceit!" Zhou Hanyu clenched his hands into fists and slammed them heavily on the table, "Father, you must not let the younger sister marry him, then most people don't know who the third child of the Liu family is, but we still don't know." , if my younger sister marries in the past, it will ruin her whole life!"

"Father knows! Of course Dad knows, but now, there is really no other way..." Zhou Duan's eyes were red, and he almost burst into tears. He hated himself for his incompetence, but he couldn't help but look at Zhou's family. The foundation fell into his hands.

"My poor daughter~~" Qin couldn't help crying, and wiped her tears with a handkerchief. She is just a woman under the curtain. Although she knows that her family has encountered difficulties recently, she has nothing to do Now that she knows that her youngest daughter may have to sacrifice the rest of her life's happiness for the family, she can't help feeling sad.

"Mother, don't cry, things haven't reached the worst yet, and father didn't agree to marry the younger sister." Zhou Mujin hurriedly comforted Qin.

"Mother, don't worry, I will protect my little sister. I think the Liu family has made this idea a long time ago. I suspected that this matter was set up by the Liu family." Zhou Hanyu said with a frosty face.

"Oh! It's all my fault. If I hadn't been greedy to accept the business, I wouldn't be here now!" Zhou Mujin also thumped the table in frustration, with self-blame and regret all over his face.

"Okay, don't talk about it, you don't know that things will become like this, besides, I also nodded at the business at the beginning." Zhou Duan said with a tired face, shaking his head, it is useless to talk about it now, I can only blame them for being too careless and accepting the business without checking the identity of the other party.

"Father, if it doesn't work, let's sell the whole shop, which is almost enough to pay for those few transactions. You have contacts and experience, and you are not afraid of making a comeback." Zhou Hanyu is not afraid of losing his family business, but only afraid that his family members will lose their fighting spirit.

Zhou Duan was unwilling to do this. It took three generations of the Zhou family to accumulate these industries. How could they destroy everything in his hands.
