Zhou Yiming smashed all the boulders in the abandoned quarry and exhausted all his energy. Then he dragged his tired body into the city and returned home.
At this time, everyone in the Zhou family saw that Yi Ming had gone out in the morning and had not come back until dark, and they were already in a mess.
Zhou Ruhai even began to blame himself, thinking that because Yi Ming was scolded in the morning, he couldn't think about it and ran out to look for the dagger.
Lin Ajiao was even more anxious.
Just when the whole family was discussing whether to report to the police, Yiming turned pale and returned home unsteadily.
Whatever you do in the future, be sure not to use too much force. Just now, you were just testing your strength. You exhausted all your energy and almost couldn't walk back.
While Zhou Yiming blamed himself, he looked up and saw the whole family looking at him with complicated expressions.
"I'm back. Didn't I delay dinner?"
Zhou Ruhai's face was full of anger, but he felt more distressed in his heart: "Where have you gone? You are not in good health. Don't you know that everyone is worried about you?"
Laifu helped: "Yes, young master, you are already married. You must not be so careless in doing things in the future. You see, the master and his wife are anxious."
Lin Ajiao hurriedly stepped forward to help Zhou Ming. There was no trace of blame in her eyes, but she blamed herself in her heart.
How could I forget that my husband has been in poor health and I shouldn't have clung to him like that last night.
As soon as he stepped through the door, he was met with a scolding and scolding. Except for his beloved wife, who was still gentle, no one else looked good.
After being treated like this, Zhou Ming was not sad or sad, but was very happy, because this proved that everyone in the family sincerely cared about him.
Zhou Yiming babbled a few words and put everyone off.
It's not that he doesn't want his family to know his current strength, but that he doesn't know how to explain how he got this strength.
Forget it, let’s wait until we can come up with a perfect explanation later.
After dinner, when he returned to his room, Zhou Yiming kept pestering Lin Ajiao, asking her for advice on how to practice and improve his martial arts strength.
After all, it is impossible to marry again in the short term. If you want to improve your martial arts level, it seems that you can only rely on your own practice.
On their wedding day last night, Zhou Yiming's strong performance actually aroused some doubts in Lin Ajiao's mind. After all, she had long heard that Zhou Yiming was a sick boy. If he hadn't been taking tonics for a long time, he might not have even died. .
And when she woke up in the morning, Yi Ming suddenly asked her for advice on how to test her martial arts cultivation, which was even more difficult to understand.
She originally wanted to ask Yi Ming for clarification, but when she saw him returning home exhausted, all the doubts and confusion in her heart disappeared instantly.
She tried her best to tell Zhou Ming everything she knew and her many years of martial arts training.
Zhou Yiming is already smart, and he can tell everything at once.
He secretly used the methods taught by Lin Gillian several times to improve his martial arts level, but in the end he failed.
"It's over. It seems that the only way to improve your martial arts level is to use supernatural powers."
Zhou Ming felt like crying and had no chance even if he tried hard.
As a man with great resilience, Zhou Ming did not intend to give up. After much careful consideration, he came up with a better way to improve his martial arts cultivation.
Since practicing the exercises cannot bring me any benefits, and there is no chance to use my powers now, I can only make full use of the existing conditions.
My wife is a master to begin with, and my strength comes from her. This means that as long as my wife's cultivation can continue to improve, my strength will also rise with the tide.
I'm such a genius.
After thinking of this brilliant idea, Zhou Ming immediately put it into action.
He took out all the tonics and elixirs he had collected at home and planned to train Lin Ajiao on them. He also made a detailed training plan and planned to personally supervise Lin Ajiao's practice.
All is ready except for the opportunity.
But when he told Lin Gillian about the plan, he got a bolt from the blue.
"Ms. Gong," Lin Ajiao said in a gentle tone, "You are so kind to me. But it's useless. My martial spirit is only bronze. Being able to cultivate to the third level of martial arts is already the limit. If I really want to make a breakthrough, I guess. It won’t be until the age of fifty or sixty.”
Zhou Ming was completely stunned.
Forty or fifty years old? No way? When you are so old, even if you make some breakthrough, it will be of no use.
Both perfect plans went bankrupt, which was a big blow to Zhou Ming.
Fortunately, he had his lovely wife as his companion, otherwise he wouldn't know if he could survive it.
The next day was the day when Sanchao returned home.
Zhou and Lin's family are family friends, and they don't care about formal etiquette in their interactions, so Zhou Ruhai only prepared some relatively simple door-returning rituals.
Ajiao Chen didn't care about these customs at all.
Only Zhou Yiming, after seeing the shabby gifts, immediately became anxious: "Dad, are you going to let me take these things to see my old father-in-law?"
"Why not?" Zhou Ruhai asked doubtfully.
Zhou Yi called to stop Laifu from tying the carriage: "Laifu, don't hitch the carriage either. Young Mistress and I are not going anywhere today."
After saying that, she pulled Lin Ajiao back to the room.
"Ur, don't mess around. Returning home after three dynasties is an ancient etiquette. How can we destroy it?" Zhou Ruhai said with a straight face.
"You also know that this is an ancient etiquette, so you still let me take such a shabby gift." Zhou Ming said confidently, "To take such a small thing, it is better not to go. I can't afford to lose that person."
Zhou Ruhai was so angry that he couldn't speak for a long time.
The servants in the family also looked at each other, wondering when Zhou Yiming became so eloquent.
Lin Ajiao hurriedly came out to persuade: "Ms. sir, I didn't marry your Zhou family for these gifts. Our Lin family definitely doesn't dislike the poor and loves the rich. Today, even if you leave empty-handed, my parents will be very happy."
Seeing Lin Ajiao say this, Zhou Yiming felt warm again.
My daughter-in-law is so stupid. Do you think I don’t know how much hardship you have endured and how much injustice you have suffered in order to marry me?
If I take something like this today, I won't be the only one who is looked down upon.
"You can think so, but I can't." Zhou Ming's position was very firm, "My father-in-law and mother-in-law raised such a good wife for me. How can I be worthy of the old man when I come to visit her for the first time and take such a small thing."
For this reason, Zhou Ruhai also felt that what his son said made sense, and told Laifu to take Yi Ming to the warehouse to pick out gifts, and then went to the study alone.
This was what Zhou Ming was waiting for. He immediately went to the warehouse and picked out good things one after another. He almost took out all the treasures in the warehouse.
Next to him, Laifu couldn't help but feel distressed.
This young master is really a prodigal son. If he becomes a master in the future, he will have to sleep on the street in a few years.
After preparing the gifts, Zhou Yiming took Lin Gillian and returned home happily.
The Lin family is a wealthy family. Before the Zhou family went downhill, there was a gap between the two families. The reason why Lin Ajiao and Zhou Yiming got married was entirely because of Zhou Yiming's silver martial arts spirit.
In Dachu, no matter you are a wealthy nobleman or a wealthy businessman, if you do not have a high-level warrior in your family, you are like a giant tree without roots. A gust of wind may uproot you.
The Lin family chose Yi Ming as their son-in-law because they were interested in his future strength and prospects and wanted to add weight to the Lin family's security.
But against all odds, he never expected that Yi Ming would lose his martial spirit.
Since then, the Lin family has been trying to find ways to terminate the engagement between the two families, but has never formally proposed it.
Later, Lin Ajiao awakened the silver martial spirit.
You know, in Dachu, it is very rare for a woman to awaken her martial spirit.
And it is such a high-grade martial spirit.
This suddenly made Lin Ajiao famous, and there was an endless stream of people seeking marriage since she was a child, including some from the royal family.
This made the Lin family more determined to terminate the engagement.
But no one expected that Lin Ajiao, who had been obedient since she was a child, firmly opposed breaking off the engagement and even threatened death.
In the end, the Lin family had no choice but to give up and reluctantly accept the fact that Lin Ajiao married a good-for-nothing.
It was already noon when Zhou Yiming and Lin Gillian arrived at the Lin Mansion.
The Lin family knew that Yi Ming and the others would return to their parents' home today, but no one came out to greet them.
Lin Ajiao looked a little embarrassed and hurriedly asked her maid to go to the house to call someone.
After urging several times, a few servants came out to help carry the gifts.
"Dogs look down on people." Lai Fu couldn't help but muttered.
"Don't talk nonsense." Zhou Yiming was afraid that Lin Ajiao would feel uncomfortable if she heard it, so he stopped it immediately.
After entering the house and meeting his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Zhou Yiming and Mr. Lin sat in the main room drinking tea and chatting.
Lin Ajiao was called to the back hall by her mother, Mrs. Lin, and they were whispering for a while.
Lin Ajiao blushed in embarrassment and lowered her head in silence.
Mrs. Lin refused to give up. After several urgings, Ajiao Lin whispered a few words in her ear.
Mrs. Lin was stunned.
Several little girls nearby overheard the conversation and were stunned.
In the hall, Zhou Yiming smiled on the outside, but was very nervous on the inside.
I was afraid that my old father-in-law would ask me to compose poems for him when he was happy.
"Come on, come on, we are all family members, why do you bring so many gifts?" Master Lin said.
"This is the first time I have brought Gillian back to my house. A few small gifts are really disrespectful."
Before Zhou Ming finished speaking, Lin Ajiao's eldest brother Lin Youda came to the main room with his wife Ye Liping.
"A thin gift? How thin is it?" Ye Liping said with a malicious smile.
Lin Youda smiled and agreed: "You can't tell how thin it is. Life at Brother Zhou's husband's family is not easy, so it's good to be here, right dad?"
Although Mr. Lin doesn't like Yi Ming in his heart, he still has to say something about the scene.
"That's right. I'm very satisfied if you have this kind of heart. As for the gifts, don't take them again next time.
If you and your wife can live a stable life, this is your filial piety towards me. "
Looking at the faces of Lin Youda and Ye Liping, Zhou Yiming just wanted to give each of them a stone and send them to play in the West.
"Brother and sister-in-law, what you said makes sense. In that case, then take back the gifts I prepared for you two later."
Lin Youda and Ye Liping looked at each other and immediately changed their words: "Whatever my brother-in-law said, I brought it all. We won't dislike it. It's good to keep it and give it to the servants."
