At nightfall, in the Zhu family hall, it was rare for the Zhu family and his son to get together for dinner today.
But even though the family was reunited, there was still a gloomy atmosphere in the hall.
Zhu Iuzhi, who has been looking for help, seems not to be in a good mood, and several other members of the Zhu family are also worried.
For a moment, only silence spread in the dining room.
I don't know how much time passed after that, but Zhu Ibiszhi finally said, "I will go to Luo City in the next few days."
After hearing what Zhu Ibis said, the few people who were silent immediately raised their heads and looked at Zhu Izhi.
Zhu Yuewu first asked, "Father, if you go to Luo City, when will you come back?"
Facing Zhu Yuewu's question, Zhu Izhi only whispered, "It's really hard to say. If everything goes well, I will be back in three days. If everything goes wrong, I may have to stay for four or five days."
"In the meantime, I want to leave some things in your hands."
After saying this, Zhu Iuzhi only glanced at his three sons.
The first person he wanted to beat was naturally his third son Zhu Chengzhi. This boy spent all day in the gambling house. He might have restrained himself when he was there. If he was gone, this boy might squander all the family wealth.
Therefore, Zhu Ibis could not help but whisper to Zhu Chengzhi, "Zhu Chengzhi, although I am going to go for a few days, but during these few days, you'd better not run around for me, otherwise you will be the first person I deal with when I come back." !」
Hearing his father's words, Zhu Chengzhi curled his lips, but he still whispered, "I understand."
Zhu Ibis naturally did not believe that his son could be honest and obedient, so his eyes only fell on the faces of the eldest son and the second son.
The first person he looked at was Zhu Zanxun, "Zanxun, this mistress has a bit of a temper. Please keep a good watch on him while I'm away. Don't let him run around."
In fact, Zhu Zanxun would do the same without his father's advice. After all, no matter how badass Zhu Chengzhi was, he was still his biological brother. So when facing his father, Zhu Zanxun immediately said, "Don't worry, father, I will definitely take good care of Chengzhi." Yes, we won’t let him run around.”
Hearing Zhu Zanxun's promise, Zhu Iizhi just nodded with relief. He is quite relieved now about his eldest son.
After all, except for the child's poor health, he has always made himself reassured about other things.
Then he turned his attention to Zhu Yuewu. This Zhu Yuewu was once his most satisfied son, and he had always cultivated him as the heir of the family.
After all, the third child can't hold up the wall, and the boss is destined to have a short life.
So even though he was unhappy with his poor performance these few times, he still didn't give up on cultivating his second child.
So he then looked at Lao Er and said, "During this period, I will ask you to reflect. Do you reflect seriously?"
Facing Zhu Izhi's question, Zhu Yuewu said without blinking, "My son reflects on it every day."
Hearing this, Zhu Iuzhi nodded approvingly, but Zhu Zanxun just kept looking at Zhu Yuewu coldly.
But he said nothing.
At the same time, Zhu Izhi just said to Zhu Yuewu, "Second brother, I know you love your third brother. You and the third brother have a harmonious relationship. I'm not worried about anything. But no matter how much you love your third brother, You must not be like before, giving your third brother whatever he wants."
After hearing Zhu Izhi's words, Zhu Yuewu only said "yes" respectfully.
After instructing the third child's whereabouts, Zhu Izhi finally explained the family affairs, "Boss, you may have to work hard for a while, so I will leave the family affairs to you to manage."
After hearing Zhu Izhi's words, Zhu Zanxun just nodded silently.
He seemed to be still waiting for the next step, but Zhu Iuzhi's eyes quickly passed by Zhu Zanxun and landed on his second son Zhu Yuewu again.
He whispered to Zhu Yuewu, "Yuewu, I will not be at home during this period, so I will leave the family finances to you."
Hearing what Zhu Ibis said
, Zhu Yuewu was stunned for a moment, and then whispered "Hello".
However, at this moment, Zhu Zanxun suddenly said, "Father, I have no objection to leaving the financial affairs to my second brother. However, if you don't come back for the reconciliation meeting in three days, can I ask for management?" About this matter?"
After hearing Zhu Zanxun's words, Zhu Iizhi realized that he still had to deal with this matter.
And since the finances have been handed over to Zhu Yuewu, the reconciliation cannot be left to him anymore. After all, the imbalance of grasping the sky with one hand is the easiest to inflate.
Because of this, he couldn't help but nodded cooperatively at the moment, "That's fine, I'll do as you say."
Hearing Zhu Izhi's words, a smile appeared on Zhu Zanxun's face.
However, when Zhu Yuewu heard his father's arrangement, his originally bright heart sank.
He very much doubted whether Zhu Zanxun had ulterior motives.
However, after Zhu Zanxun took the initiative to ask for help, there was no other movement. For a while, Zhu Yuewu could not figure out what he wanted.
After explaining everything, the time fell into silence again. The father and son usually talked less, but now that they have their own worries, they naturally said less.
After ending today's dinner in silence, Zhu Iizhi left for Luo City that night.
Zhu Zanxun and Zhu Yuewu naturally parted ways, but Zhu Chengzhi, the third child, became more active when he saw his father leaving. "Second brother, today my father has let you take charge of the family's finances again. Congratulations."
Hearing Zhu Chengzhi's flattery, Zhu Yuewu just sneered and said, "It's nothing to take care of him temporarily. He can leave the matter to me today, and he can leave it to your big brother tomorrow."
Hearing Zhu Yuewu's words, Zhu Chengzhi immediately strongly denied, "How is that possible? My eldest brother is a sick man and can only live for a few years. How can my father trust him to take care of the family business! So in the end, he has to take care of everyone." It’s not you, second brother, who is responsible for the industry.”
After hearing this, Zhu Yuewu's face showed a hint of relief.
As soon as Zhu Chengzhi saw Zhu Yuewu's face relaxed, he knew that his flattery had touched Zhu Yuewu's heart, so after that, he immediately said like striking while the iron was hot, "Second brother, your life is better now. I wonder if you can also Give me a little sweetness, I don’t want more, just give me three hundred taels of silver."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuewu's expression changed. In the past, he could be said to have responded to Zhu Chengzhi's requests.
However, now he is becoming more and more stingy.
"Third brother, it's not that I won't help you. In fact, the three hundred taels you mentioned are too big a hole for us. My father already didn't trust me, but now he finally trusts me again. If I How can I explain to him if he is found to be harboring you again? So how about I find a way to get three hundred taels for you after some time?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Chengzhi's face darkened. "Second brother, I don't like hearing what you say. Is this how you handle things? Is three hundred taels a lot? A three hundred taels is just one game." You’re trying to stop me with the price of the small banquet, but I won’t listen.”
After hearing Zhu Chengzhi's words, Zhu Yuewu also became somewhat silent.
"It's not like I don't have money on hand. What's more, before my father left, he told you not to go out and gamble. Now that he's gone, you'll come to me asking for money! Am I your cash machine?"
Hearing Zhu Yuewu's words, Zhu Chengzhi was not happy, "If you don't want to borrow it, I won't. But there is an illegitimate child from an outsider's wife who is here with me, five and six, okay! If you don't want to borrow it, I'll just leave!"
After saying this, Zhu Chengzhi left angrily.
And Zhu Yuewu was obviously very angry at Zhu Chengzhi's words about being an illegitimate child.
He looked at Zhu Chengzhi coldly. As expected, he couldn't be trusted if he wasn't his brother. In the final analysis, this third child was just a white-eyed wolf. When he gets rich, he will be the first to kick this guy out.
But if you want to succeed, you must have actual rights.
Now it seems that his father has not given up on him. Thinking of this, his heart
It's a bit satisfying to win.
It's just that the only thing he has to worry about now is the secret of dividing the property between himself and other shopkeepers. He can't let others discover it, especially Zhu Zanxun. After all, he has to host the reconciliation meeting, and now his only hidden danger is It was Manager Na Zhuang who was in charge. This old boy was a tough guy. Only by dealing with him could he feel at ease.
Thinking of this, he stared at Zhu Chengzhi for a while, and then he said to the people around him, "Let's go!"
Hearing Zhu Yuewu's words, everyone nodded, and Zhu Yuewu soon returned to his residence. However, as soon as he came back, he immediately asked the people around him, "Is the killer back?"
Facing Zhu Yuewu's question, everyone just shook their heads.
Zhu Yuewu asked several more times, but the answer he received was no news.
Seeing that the night was getting darker and darker, Zhu Yuewu knew that he probably couldn't wait for the old boy anymore, so he decided to go to sleep, but before falling asleep, he still had to explain something to the people around him. .
"If Zuo Quan comes back, tell him and ask him to come directly and report to me!"
After hearing Zhu Yuewu's instructions, everyone responded in unison.
However, Zhu Yuewu waited all night, but did not see Zuo Quan come back to report. He thought this was just a trivial matter. However, what he didn't know was that it was this little thing that became his hanging rope.
The night is as dark as ink, and after the scorching heat, it is followed by the lingering rain at night in autumn. This is a good time to sleep, and now every household has turned off the lights and gone to sleep.
There was almost no one on the street except the patrolling soldiers.
However, on this quiet night, there was a young man in black walking on the eaves of various houses.
It's a pity that no one saw how quickly he acted.
The young man in black quickly stopped in front of Room 8 on Yanliu Lane after flying over the eaves and walking over the wall. However, he did not knock on the door like others, but chose to enter without telling anyone.
