Chu's Zhaohua

Chapter 13

Father Chu was a good man. Back then when he went to Yizhou to be an upright man and a good-looking talent, he was favored by Zhou Shi, the daughter of the corporal chief. Father Chu admitted that he was indeed ambitious at the time and wanted to climb higher, and he did not take into account his wife and children at home. He was tempted by how difficult it must be for a poor household with poor family affairs to do things in this kind of place. He also told the Zhou family clearly that he already had a wife and children, but the Zhou family didn't mind. Can.

Thinking of the past, Father Chu really felt that he had been deceived by lard, and gasped, "You know the situation at home, Dad and Shuwen are both sick, and there is no one in the family. The two children went out to do work to subsidize the family..."

Mrs. Zhou was worried, so she heard Chu's father pause and continue, "The family is very simple, and it's outrageous for you and Zhen'er to wear gold and silver. If it spreads, it won't make the neighbors laugh, and the family is really struggling. You and Zhen'er don't need to wear these silk clothes all day long, and you don't need to bring gold hairpins and silver hairpins, you can sell them to subsidize your family."

Mrs. Zhou looked at Chu's father in disbelief. When she was in Yizhou, Chu's father had a lot of affection for her, and he had nothing to say about the child, but he never expected that everything would change when he came back to Yikou County.

After finishing speaking, Father Chu looked at Mrs. Zhou, his expression was not as gloomy as before, "He Xiang, let me ask you again, do you still have money with you?"

Zhou gritted her teeth, "Yuan Lang, why don't you trust me? There are really none." She didn't believe that Yuan Lang was so heartless that he would sell her clothes and jewelry.

Father Chu didn't say a word, and limped towards Mrs. Zhou's big locked wooden box step by step. Mrs. Zhou panicked and got off the couch, "Yuan Lang, what do you want to do?" for what?"

Before Mrs. Zhou walked in, Father Chu had already slammed on the box with a bang, smashing the top of the box with his fist, and Mrs. Zhou was dumbfounded.After a few efforts, Father Chu opened the box, which contained Zhou's clothes. After searching for a while, Father Chu quickly found a small wooden box with exquisite carvings at the bottom of the box.

Mrs. Zhou panicked when she saw the small wooden box in Chu's father's hand. Chu's father opened the small wooden box with brute force, and his hands trembled a little when he saw the things inside.

There was actually a stack of gold leaves in the small wooden box, Father Chu counted roughly, thirty gold leaves.

Yiguan money can be converted into a piece of gold leaf, which is [-] guan money, [-] won.

His wife, children, and father suffered hardships at home, but his ordinary wife, wearing gold and silver, had saved so much money but refused to take it out.

Father Chu gasped and asked, "What is this? Don't you have no money?"

"Yuan Lang, this... this is my dowry, I can't use my dowry to subsidize the family!" Zhou's face turned red, and her voice became sharper.

Father Chu sneered, "Your dowry? Do you want to show me the list of your dowry? Even though it's been ten years, I'm not so old and confused that I don't remember what's in your dowry!"

When the Zhou family married him, the dowry was not small, but it was all furniture and utensils, and there was no money.

Seeing that Mrs. Zhou hesitated to speak, Father Chu said angrily, "You use the money I earned to wear silk and satin, and buy maids to serve you, but you refuse to treat my wife and children kindly. Mrs. Zhou, you are really heartless!"

After saying that, Father Chu ignored Zhou Shi who started to cry, took the thirty gold leaves and left the room, and went to Zeng Shi's room.
