Chapter 253 Persuasion
Ordinarily, now that the Zhou family is rich and their lives are better, Mrs. Zhou shouldn't have any troubles, Fat Miao'er thought secretly in her heart.

"Oh!" Mrs. Zhou sighed softly.

Looking at Zhou Wulang, who was sitting next to Fat Miao'er, who was happily eating snacks, he said with a troubled expression: "My grandma just wants you to help persuade your father to marry him and your aunt Fang as soon as possible."

In the past three years, Zhou Laosan's marriage has been dragging on, and Fang Zhu has not found anyone else, and has been waiting bitterly.

This matter made Mrs. Zhou very worried. Whenever she had the time, she tried to persuade Zhou Laosan, and sometimes she even reprimanded her.

But no matter what the old lady Zhou did, the third child Zhou would not accept it, and would not agree.

Fat Miao'er didn't answer, but turned to look at Zhou Wulang beside him.

Although he is young, he is still smart. He immediately understood what his sister meant, put down the snacks in his hand, and nodded sharply: "I want Aunt Fang to be my mother."

Although Fang Zhu didn't marry Zhou Laosan, she had never stopped taking care of Fat Miao'er and Zhou Wulang in the past three years, and she always made new clothes for them.

"All the children in the village have mothers, but I don't have one." Wu Wulang pursed his mouth, feeling aggrieved.

Listening to Zhou Wulang's immature words, Fat Miao'er couldn't help feeling sour.

"Grandma, I promise you." Fat Miao'er nodded heavily.

In fact, in her heart, she had long hoped that Zhou Laosan and Fang Zhu would be together, so that not only would her father no longer be alone, but also Zhou Wulang could be taken care of.

"Thank you, Fat Meow!" Mrs. Zhou said solemnly.

Whether Zhou's third child gets married or not is a matter of the Zhou family, and has nothing to do with Fat Miao'er, and if Fang Zhu treats Wu Lang badly in the future, she will still feel sorry for her mother.

"Grandma, there's no need to be like this. I think Aunt Fang is a good one." Fat Miao'er waved her hand and expressed her thoughts.

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, nodded in agreement, and said, "My grandma thinks so too, otherwise I wouldn't be able to do my best to facilitate this matter."

"I'll go to grandma's house tonight and try to persuade daddy well." Fat Miao'er said.

"Good! Good! Good!" Mrs. Zhou nodded again and again. Of course, she hoped that the sooner the better.

After chatting for a while, Mrs. Zhou said goodbye and left, while Zhou Wulang was left by Fat Miaoer for lunch and to discuss what to say in the evening.

Not long after Mrs. Zhou left, Wei Shu came back.

He has been studying at Honghu Academy for three full years, and took part in the county examination in February this year. His essays overwhelmed all the students, and he won the No.1—the county case leader.

In a few days, he will go to Fucheng to take the government exam, and after passing the exam, he will be a child student.

With Weishu knowledge, it is basically a certainty.

"Second brother, what's the matter, is it because you are troubled by the government examination in a few days?" Seeing Wei Shu's face was a bit uncomfortable, Fat Miao'er asked curiously.

"No." Wei Shu shook his head and sat down heavily on the chair.

"Why is that?" Fat Miao'er asked.

Wei Shu pursed his lips, shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't say anything."

"Second brother, speak out, as the saying goes, three cobblers are worth one Zhuge Liang, let's brainstorm." Fat Miao'er said.

"Someone proposed marriage to me and asked me to step in the door." Wei Shu said in a deep voice.

"Ah?" Fat Miao'er exclaimed, looking at Wei Shu in surprise.

Liu Ye'er on the side also widened her eyes.

"Second brother, what's going on?" Liu Ye'er was the first to react and asked.

Wei Shu is 14 years old this year. Because of his good food and good nutrition in recent years, he has grown a lot taller and more handsome. Coupled with his scholarly temperament, he has attracted the favor of many girls.

"County Du Yuanwai approached Mr. Hong and said he wanted to betroth his youngest daughter to me." Wei Shu explained.

I don't know where Du Yuanwai got the news, knowing that Wei Shu has no father or mother, so he entrusted the county's Xuezheng to find Mr. Hong and help him match up.

And I promise that as long as Wei Shu marries his youngest daughter and joins Du's family, all the tuition fees of Wei Shu will be paid by their family.

Everyone in the world knows that the imperial examination is a single-plank bridge for thousands of troops, and only a few people can succeed.

The road to the imperial examination is also very expensive. How many people give up because of their lack of money.

"Second brother, that's a good thing. This shows that you are attractive." Fat Miao'er joked, and winked at Wei Shu.

"Don't talk nonsense, the road to the imperial examination has just begun, how can it be delayed by this kind of thing." Wei Shu put on a serious face.

Hearing this, Fat Miao'er stuck out her tongue.

"Second brother, there is nothing to worry about, just ignore it." Liu Ye'er said.

"Mr. Hong..." Wei Shu opened his mouth.

In the past three years, Hong Xuezhi has taught Wei Shu with all his heart, and taught him with all his heart.

Wei Shu also respected Hong Xuezhi very much, treating him like a father.

If Mr. Hong hadn't mentioned it to him, he wouldn't have been so embarrassed.

He knew that Mr. Hong was also doing it for his own good. With the financial backing of the Du family, as well as the connections of the Du family in the officialdom, plus his talent, he would surely be able to win a job, find another official position, and live without food and clothing for the rest of his life. worry.

Fat Miao'er saw Wei Shu's concerns, and said, "Second brother, if you tell Mr. Hong your ambition directly, I don't think he will be sad."

Fat Meow used to call him stubborn, but he really took good care of Wei Shu in the past three years, so out of politeness, he changed his name.

"En!" Wei Shu nodded, and decided to go back to the academy in the next afternoon and tell Mr. Hong directly.

"Second brother, how is the preparation for the government examination going?" Liu Ye'er changed the subject.

"It's almost there. Mr. Hong told me that the exam questions are basically the same as those of the county exam. Let me not be nervous and just perform normally." When Wei Shu mentioned the government exam, he regained his energy and forgot about the troubles just now.

"Second brother, when the time comes, me, sister, and eldest brother will all accompany you." Fat Miao'er said.

"Don't be so troublesome, I will go with Uncle Qiang then." Wei Shu waved his hands again and again.

"How can that be done? It's a big deal for our family to take your child's exam. If it wasn't for the third brother who wanted to run the boat, he would also go with him." Fat Miao'er said solemnly.

"That's right, second brother, the government test is no better than the county test. We are not familiar with the place there. If something happens, there are too many people and we can help you." Liu Ye'er persuaded from the side.

"Besides, we haven't been to Fucheng yet, so we just took this opportunity to go and have fun." Fat Miao'er had a longing look on his face.

"Okay, let's go together then." Wei Shu nodded.

"By the way, Mr. Hong is going to talk about very important knowledge today. I really don't have time. I don't know what to do with the newly bought cargo ship?" Wei Shu asked suddenly.

"Very good. Uncle Yong helped to find the boatman, and Uncle Chen helped to find the boatman. They are all honest and responsible people." Liu Ye'er replied.

"That's good." Wei Shu nodded, feeling relieved.
