Chapter VIII Father and Son Soldiers
The next morning, the five grandparents and grandchildren finished their porridge, and Zhao Liben scolded Zhao Shouye again:
"Son of the prodigal son, I have some money to keep! Now you have no money to return home. Let me beg for food all the way?!"
Zhao Shouye knew that he was in the wrong, so he kept his head shut and refused to speak.
After Zhao Liben scolded the eldest, he saw that the second and son were dressed neatly, as if he was about to go out.
"What are you doing?" Zhao Liben said angrily: "I'm going to run away now?"
"My father misunderstood." Zhao Shouzheng hurriedly explained: My father and son are going to visit the two father-in-law, raise some money for his father, and ask about his livelihood."
Zhao Shouye became energetic when he heard this, and waved the watery loofah and said, "Okay, borrow more. Your in-laws' worth of tens of millions of dollars, and you can just leak a little in your fingers, which is enough for our family to get through this hurdle."
Zhao Shouzheng nodded and said, "Well, that's what I mean."
"Go." Although Zhao Liben didn't stop him, he had no expectations. He sat lazily under the wall and basked the sun.
With the permission of the old man, the father and son walked through the layers of courtyards and headed towards the main gate of the mansion.
The two of them cheered each other while walking.
"Son, the so-called God will give a great responsibility to this person, he must first make his mind and mind hard. From today on, we must let go of our indifferent face." Zhao Shouzheng looked at Zhao Hao with concern. Although his son agreed to the proposal of eating soft rice, he was still worried that his son's young master's temper would not be able to withstand the grievance.
"I have a child's family, so there is no problem. My father can live with it." But Zhao Hao said indifferently.
"Then I'll be relieved. Don't worry about me." Zhao Shouzheng slapped his chest and said, "It's not that I'm boasting for my father. I've been eating idle meals at home for thirty-six years, and my face has long been practicing to the point of being invincible."
"Then let's go!" Zhao Hao pointed his head.
"We are leaving!"
The father and son faced the rising sun and pushed open the closed door with high fighting spirit.
But he almost got into the crowd.
After the Zhao family had an accident, they were deserted. Unexpectedly, two guests came to visit the door early in the morning.
"Oh, it was actually the father-in-law and his in-laws who came together. It was true that the true love was revealed in times of adversity!"
Zhao Shouzheng looked closely and couldn't help but be overjoyed, thinking that he would not have to come to ask for help now.
This was the first time Zhao Hao saw these two people. One of them was thin, gray hair and wrinkles. He looked older than Zhao Li. He should be his father's future father-in-law, and he was the priest of the Imperial College.
The other rich man who was in his forties, well-maintained and huge figure naturally looked like his future father-in-law, Liu Yuanwai, vice president of Suzhou Dongting Chamber of Commerce.
As the saying goes, if you ask for something, you must be humble. Zhao Hao obediently followed his father to salute his two father-in-law.
Both of them were parked far away at the intersection, and they didn't even bring their followers, as if they didn't want people to see them.
They smiled a little embarrassedly, and Mr. Liu said, "Go in and talk."
"Okay." Zhao Shouzheng and his son hurriedly made way and politely welcomed the two into the house.
Back cover room.
Zhao Liben is still leaning under the wall to bask in the sun.
Seeing his son welcomed his two relatives in the family, he stood up slowly, smiling and said without a smile: "There is no place to sit in the house, just bask in the sun in the patio."
"It's easy to say, today's sunny day is rare." Zhou Jijiu bowed to Zhao Liben and said, "The old man is suffering."
Liu Yuanwai is a junior, not an official, so naturally everything is dominated by Zhou Jijiu.
At this time, Zhao Hao and Zhao Xian moved two dirty benches and a shaky square table, which was placed in the patio. Zhao Shouzheng found another brick and placed it under the legs of the table so that things could be stored on the table.
Zhou Jijiu and Liu Yuanwai gritted their teeth and sat on the same bench.
Zhao Shouye brought the teapot and poured it into the tea cup with clear water.
Zhao Liben smiled faintly and said, "Let the two in-laws laugh."
"What's the matter with the boss? Who hasn't had any disasters or difficulties?" Zhou Jijiu waved his hand and smiled, saying that it was okay.
"No, Mr. Shi, please be content with no obstacles that cannot be overcome. Everyone can help you, and you can always get over it." Mr. Liu also comforted him from the side.
"I am extremely relieved when you say these two people." Zhao Liben sat on another bench with a smile, picked up the teacup and drank water, and habitually closed his eyes and started to tug.
After a few words of nutrition from both sides exchanged greetings, Zhou Jijiu took out an envelope from his sleeve and handed it to Zhao Liben.
"The boss is about to return to his hometown. I will prepare Cheng Yi and express my feelings."
Mr. Liu also quickly took out an exact envelope and handed it to Zhao Liben.
Zhao Liben looked at the two of them, then looked at the two envelopes. He stretched out his finger and picked the seal of an envelope, and a five hundred tael ticket was exposed.
The Zhao brothers standing behind Zhao Li himself lit up when they saw this. It was not a worthless treasure, but a ticket that was redeemed by Hui merchants was not discounted, but a real five hundred taels of silver!
Zhao Shouzheng gave his son a proud look, as if he was saying: ‘Look, eat soft rice, do you have to do it?’
Zhao Hao couldn't help but nodded repeatedly. He saw it clearly. The old man opened the envelope from Zhou Jijiu, and his father-in-law's share would only be much more.
Zhao Shouye and his son were also very happy. The family was not separated, and there was meat in the pot, so they could always be divided into a spoonful.
While being happy, Zhao Shouye couldn't help but feel sorry for his son and said to himself: 'It's a pity that my devil's in-laws didn't leave any property, so my son didn't have a soft meal."
Not to mention the inexpensive appearance of the four members of the Zhao family, Zhao Liben's expression became gloomy and there was no happiness at all.
He twisted his fingers and pulled out a piece of red paper from the ticket, with Zhao Shouzheng's Nian Geng written on it!
"What does this mean?" Zhao Liben sneered, and all four of the Zhao family stayed there.
The Geng Tie was a token given to the Zhou family by the Zhao family during the engagement. It is now reappearing in the Zhao family. It is impossible that it was accidentally fed, right?
Zhao Hao smiled bitterly at Zhao Shouzheng, didn’t he say that your father-in-law has integrity? Where did his integrity go?
As for another envelope, you don’t even have to look at it. When the Imperial College Priest was about to break off the engagement, if a businessman named Liu was reliable, even an old sow could climb a tree!
Seeing that the picture was already exhausted, Zhou Jijiu and Liu Yuanwai had nothing to hide.
Then he saw Zhou Jijiu wink at Liu Yuanwai, meaning, I have already fired my first shot, it's your turn now.
"Forgive me, please, my elder brother." Mr. Liu coughed dryly and said in a muffled voice: "The journey to Xiuning is rugged and far, and the little girl is weak and sickly, so she may be difficult to follow..."
But when Zhao Shouzheng suddenly said, "Don't worry, my father and son have made up their minds to stay in Nanjing. If it really doesn't work, it's okay to go to Suzhou to get married."
"Well……"
Unexpectedly, Zhao Shouzheng, a scholar, was so willing to do so. Mr. Liu could no longer respond, so he had to sit there dumbfoundedly.
Zhao Hao almost went to Suzhou to get married? Then he wouldn't be a son-in-law? Banana, you, Barra, do you still have some face?
