Martial arts long journey

Chapter 8

The second wife of the Zhou family is the only daughter of Lin Qiulie, a casual martial artist in Yanzhou Prefecture, the 'crushed stone stick'.

Although Lin Qiulie only had martial arts at the peak of the Blood Tempering Realm, his iron rod, which was powerful enough to open mountains and crush rocks, was also well-known in the entire Yanzhou Prefecture.

His strength was only inferior to that of Zhou Chuanxiong and Xie Shaonian, the Patriarch of the Xie family, and stronger than Zhou Quan, who was also at the peak of the Blood Tempering Realm.

More than ten years ago, Zhou Chuanxiong was able to fight against the most powerful Xie family precisely because he married the Li family's prostitute daughter and Lin Qiulie's only daughter, and got the support of their two families. Fuchu stood firm.

The coil of first-grade iron wire stick method that Zhou Yan saw in the Zhou family arsenal was one of Lin Qiulie's dowry to his daughter.

As for the elder Zhou Zhoujie of the Zhou family, his biological mother was just Zhou Chuanxiong's concubine, and he was just the concubine of the Zhou family.

However, the youngest fourth child of the Zhou family is very good at winning Zhou Chuanxiong's favor, plus his graceful mother.

Therefore, the old Zhou Zhoujie's status in the family is much stronger than Zhou Yan's.

This can be clearly seen just by relying on the seats in the meeting hall.

In the Zhou family's meeting hall full of people, except for the wooden chair under Zhou Chuanxiong's head, the last wooden chair on the left is still empty.

Since Zhou Chuanxiong's next wooden chair was Zhou Quan's seat, the last empty wooden chair was undoubtedly Zhou Yan's seat.

As the eldest son, Zhou Yan's seat is actually worse than that of the bastard son, which is enough to show his status in the Zhou family.

"I've seen my father, the clan elders, my second mother, my third mother, and my youngest mother!"

Looking around the inside of the meeting hall, Zhou Yan bowed his hands and bowed to the people in the hall.

"Boss is here, take your seat!"

Hearing the voice of his eldest son, Zhou Chuanxiong didn't even lift his eyelids, just nodded and said in a low voice.

As for Zhou Yan's three younger brothers, their mother, and those clan elders, they didn't even look at Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan, who inherited the memory of his predecessor, didn't care about the neglect he received, and found his own seat directly, and sat down.

"Boss, do you know why Father called you here?!"

However, before Zhou Yan could sit down, Zhou Chuanxiong slightly raised his eyelids, and said in a calm voice.

"I don't know the child, please tell my father!"

Before his butt touched the chair, Zhou Yan quickly got up and said.

At this moment, Zhou Yan's heart was also full of doubts, he really didn't know why his cheap father asked him to come here, and he even made such a big fight.

"It's not that big brother, you made your father lose face a few days ago!"

The moment Zhou Yan finished speaking, the gloating voice of Zhou Zhoujie, who was sitting opposite him, sounded.

This remark made Zhou Chuanxiong's eyelids twitch, but he didn't say anything to scold him, which was enough to show Zhou Chuanxiong's love for his youngest son.

At this time, Mrs. Zhou's wife suddenly said: "Boss, you are not young anymore. It's okay to be so low in strength, but even your character is extremely cowardly, so Er Niang proposed to your father that you Going to our Zhou family's mine to be a deacon for a few years is just a good time to sharpen your cowardly temperament!"

Hearing Da Furen's voice in his ears, and seeing Zhou Chuanxiong's approving expression last time, Zhou Yan's heart could not help but slowly fell silent.

Don't look at the grand lady's nice words and her appearance of thinking for Zhou Yan's sake, but her sinister intentions made Zhou Yan terrified.

The Zhou family's mine is one of the businesses under the Zhou family's command, but it is definitely not a good place, not to mention it is next to the Ailao Mountains where bandits are everywhere.

The miners who mined in the mine were almost all criminals arrested by the government, and they were finally bought by the Zhou family at a very low price.

Everyone is a very vicious person, and turmoil will break out after a long time.

In the memory of Zhou Yan's previous life, several deacons of the mine died at the hands of those rioters.

The lady's proposal undoubtedly intends to let Zhou Yan stay in the Zhou family's mine forever.

"It seems that I am blocking their way!"

Looking at the expressions in the eyes of the Zhou family's second, third, fourth, and their mother who were secretly delighted, approving, or gloating, Zhou Yan couldn't help thinking to himself.

Since the establishment of the Zhou family, the family business has been passed down from generation to generation. Even though Zhou Yan's predecessor had no intention of being the heir of the family, he blocked the way of Zhou Xing, the second son of the Zhou family.

As long as Zhou Yan died in the Zhou family's mine riot, the second son Zhou would conveniently become the eldest son of the Zhou family, and the chances of being established as the heir of the Zhou family would undoubtedly increase greatly.

But what Zhou Yan couldn't figure out was how the third son, Zhou Xing, and the second lady would agree to such a proposal that the eldest lady would harm others but not benefit herself.

Once the second son, Zhou Fang, became the eldest son of the Zhou family, the position of the third son, Zhou Xing, as the heir of the Zhou family would undoubtedly be greatly reduced.

"Boy, it's up to the father to decide!"

Temporarily stopping the fast-rotating thoughts in his heart, Zhou Yan showed a sad expression on the surface, and looked at Zhou Chuanxiong in a sad voice and said.

"Since this is the case, it happens that tomorrow is the day when the caravan goes to the mine to fetch ore, so you go to the mine with the family's caravan!"

However, what made Zhou Yan extremely chilling was that Zhou Chuanxiong didn't even look at him. Not only did he agree to Da Furen's proposal, but he didn't care about the life and death of his eldest son at all. He got up and walked out of the meeting hall.

Following Zhou Chuanxiong's departure, other people in the meeting room got up and walked out one after another, leaving Zhou Yan alone sitting stiffly on his seat.

But no one noticed that in the depths of Zhou Yan's eyes, there was a trace of awe-inspiring chill.

After leaving the meeting hall, the second wife and the third child Zhou Xing returned to their courtyard.

Zhou Xing couldn't help asking: "Mom, how could you agree with Zhou Fang and his wife's proposal? Once Zhou Yan dies, wouldn't Zhou Fang's chances of becoming the heir of the family be even greater?"

"Silly boy, you are still too young!

In the eyes of your father, there is no difference between you and Zhou Fang except for the old Zhou Zhoujie.

But because of the existence of Niang and Da Furen, your status can be higher than Zhou Yan.

However, even if Zhou Yan is not liked by your father, he is still your father's eldest son after all.

Once Zhou Yan dies in the mine, Zhou Fang and his mother will definitely be angered by your father.

And don't forget, Zhou Fang's mother is the legitimate daughter of the Li family. If he inherits the Zhou family, will the Zhou family be named Li or Zhou in the future?Therefore, it is impossible for Zhou Fang to become the heir of the Zhou family.

After Zhou Yan dies, the heir of the Zhou family will definitely be you, and it can only be you.

Although the old Zhou Zhoujie is very popular with your father, just because of his status as a concubine, as long as you three elder brothers are around, he cannot become the heir of the Zhou family. "

Feeling the puzzled look in her son's eyes, the second lady couldn't help chuckling and said, but her expression was full of disdain for the eldest lady and the second eldest Zhou Fang.
