Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 766 Tell the truth
Zhou Sishun understood what he said. It was just that his third uncle-in-law had a very smart brain since he was young, even the famous Zhao family genius like Boss Zhao could not compare to him.

"My third uncle will follow you."

Gu Erzhu grinned and patted Zhou Sishun modestly, "Stop talking nonsense, it's the truth. I'm not bragging, did I want to study back then?"

Zhou Sishun immediately added, "What's the matter with Boss Zhao? My uncle made a mistake with you and your elder brother. If he had supported you to study, you would have been rich a long time ago."

"That's not necessarily true." Gu Erzhu said honestly, "Maybe the whole family has already starved to death. To be honest, even if I don't support my eldest brother's education, it won't be my turn.

Although my grandfather's lineage is the patriarch passed down from ancestors, and my great-grandfather also had achievements, it stands to reason that by the time it was passed down to my grandfather, there should have been some family wealth.

In fact, apart from the fields, my father was considered the more favored eldest son. When the family property was divided, my father got 40% of the property, and that's how he built the yard at the entrance of the village.

I don't know if you still remember that the yard was originally a house with blue bricks and tiles instead of the upper house. My uncle was the eldest son, and the things my family got were the same as those of my second uncle.

It’s just that my father’s three brothers and their in-laws’ family backgrounds are similar, but my second uncle and his brother-in-law are much more ambitious. The reason why my second uncle opened a carriage shop was because of the help of his brother-in-law.

His eldest brother-in-law's father-in-law was the manager of the Wu Mansion shop at that time, so my second uncle's eldest brother-in-law found a job for my second uncle to run errands for his own father-in-law.

When my second uncle wanted to do something on his own, it was my eldest brother-in-law, seeing that his nephews had grown up, who lent a hand and allowed my second uncle to buy the big carriage shop in the city.

It's a pity that the Wu Mansion was defeated. Not only the Zhao family, but also my second uncle and Mr. Bai, all of them relied on the Wu Mansion to make their fortunes at that time."

Thinking of the once high and mighty Wu Fu, the richest man in their county, and his current downtrodden state, Zhou Sishun said with emotion, "Yes, I never dared to imagine that the Wu Fu would fall so quickly.

So, as a father, you should not be too partial. Aren’t your daughters your own flesh and blood? What’s the point of giving all the family assets to your son? He will eventually fail to protect you.

I don't believe the rumors that this prodigal son squandered his family fortune on drinking, whoring and gambling. I guess it's just that Mr. Wu's daughters are unwilling to give in and joined forces to punish this brother.

Otherwise, the wife that Master Wu found for his only son was a good match, which means her family background was not bad, so why would she just watch her son-in-law being cheated? "

Gu Erzhu nodded in agreement, "Of course, no matter what, Master Wu still wants a son too much, and he has many daughters, both legitimate and illegitimate.

Brothers and sisters born from the same mother will not all be united, not to mention that his family is large and powerful, and the children are not born from the same mother. If he leaves, which girl will like his son?

In addition, his legitimate daughter is a generation older than his son, and his grandson is the same age as his son. To put it bluntly, his legitimate daughters no longer need the support of their brothers from their natal family.

Another thing is that Mr. Wu’s relatives are not kind either. I’m afraid some of them may even take advantage of his misfortune. How can his son bear it? They all want to bite a piece of his flesh.

Since ancient times, there have been few people who are grateful and repay favors, but many who are ungrateful. To be honest, even for Mr. Wu's sake, the Zhao family should not have stood idly by.

Now that Master Wu has sold everything he can, it's a good thing that he can still have something left to move with. If he stays any longer, there might not even be anything left."

Does the Zhao family owe Mr. Wu a favor?
If the Zhao family owed Mr. Wu a favor, the fact that most of the shops in the Wu Mansion are now in the hands of the Zhao brothers cannot be considered as the Zhao family standing idly by.

If they stood aside and watched, most of the shops in Wu Mansion would still be owned by the Zhao family? Not to mention that the Zhao family still cannot have the final say in Qingyang County since they became rich, even if the Zhao family dared to stand aside and watch five years ago, they would not be able to get such a big piece of fat meat.

I'm afraid it will be the same as last year at most. Didn't Zhao Laosan gain a good reputation for not bargaining when he bought the villa in the Wu Mansion last year? People said that he, Zhao Laosan, was honest.

This has nothing to do with owing favors or standing idly by!
Zhou Sishun was silent for a moment, "What a sin! The downfall of Master Wu enriched a bunch of people. Fortunately, all the fame went to them."

"That's how the world is, so I say your aunt is smart. When she heard your uncle said he wanted to sell his house in the city and move back to the village, she moved back immediately without saying a word.

Similarly, if your uncle's family doesn't move back to the village as soon as possible to open a school, I'm afraid your clan won't be much better off than the Wu family. You won't be wiped out, and some of your clansmen will go to the city to seek benefits.

Your eldest aunt's mother has a brother from her family who is a juren. Not only did she move back, but she and her mother-in-law have been helping your family financially and physically. "

"That's true. When I was in trouble, my aunt knew that I wanted to redeem San Ya, so she didn't wait for me to come to her house. She sent the housekeeper to ask me to go to her house.

At that time they had not moved back to the village. Even when I later said that San Ya wanted to come back in two years and divide the property over there, it was still my uncle who forced me to split it.

Otherwise, rely on the clan leader and those elders?" Zhou Sishun sneered and shook his head, "The clan leader is okay, but he is not as responsible as your uncle. At least he can speak human language.

Those old men are not so good. They either pretend to be dead or say that there are no parents who are not right. They also asked me if I had made enough trouble. Now they know they are too embarrassed to be the elders of the clan. "

Gu Erzhu thought about it for a moment and realized that he was referring to the old men in the Zhou family. After all, two of the old men retired within less than half a year after San Ya came back!

Alas, this is the way the world is, this is human nature.

Like his second uncle, the most fair elder in the clan, once his nephew had a conflict with other clan members, he would still favor his nephew in private even if he didn't say it openly.

What's more, those confused old men are not only afraid of a shrew coming to their house and threatening to kill themselves, but they are also afraid that if they don't use filial piety to pressure others, their own children and grandchildren will become disobedient and demand to divide the family property.

As for why he suddenly stepped down, it might be because "now he feels ashamed to be the clan elder", or even his family members are afraid of offending San Ya.

That was smart for once.

If the two elders of their Zhou family don't step down, it would be strange for San Ya to like them as long as this brother complains a few words in front of her daughter!
"When they first started talking about it, I argued with them, and they called me unfilial. I was afraid that I would make them angry to death, so I didn't even bother to pay attention to them!
Fortunately, they now won't say anything about adoption being adopted, but he is your biological father after all, and it doesn't matter what I did wrong. San Ya can enjoy the life with me.

Of course, they were probably frightened by me. I said if you scold me again, I will go find my San Ya to vent my anger, and then they all behaved themselves!"

as predicted!

"So, we still need someone to back us up. You're relying on San Ya to scare people now, but San Ya will have to rely on her brother to back her up in the future, so stop imagining that.

In terms of shamelessness, you can't be thicker than me. Listen to me, while San Ya is now well-off and doesn't need your sister-in-law to worry about it, it's better for us to spend our own money."
