Chapter 494 495 It’s Easy to Hold a Grudge but Hard to Hold a Grudge

After the father and son entered, Zhang Guisheng took a look and saw several men snoring loudly on the Datong bunk. The disgusting smell of feet and sweat assaulted his nostrils.

Zhang Guisheng pulled Zhang Defa outside and whispered: "Dad, let's go to Dongda Street tomorrow to search and see if we can find the Zhou family. We can get some money to heal my feet, find a private school to teach, and make money while doing it." Prepare for the imperial examination."

Zhang De felt that this was the only way to go, "That's fine, dad will go with you early tomorrow morning."

The father and son murmured outside and discussed what to do when they found the Zhou family, and then went to bed.

After Li Yu's family came back from Linxian, Nanny Chen took a letter and a small cloth bag and gave them to Li Yu, "Madam, the caravan from Tongzhou brought this to you. I heard from the escort that it belonged to a family." Someone named Hu asked me to bring it."

The Hu family in Tongzhou may be from Hujia Village. Why did they think of bringing me a letter?

After Li Yu opened the letter, he saw that it read: Madam, I am Hu Cheng, the new patriarch of Hujia Village. A boy from our village works as a waiter in a tavern in Tongzhou. He happened to hear that a family named Zhang and a man named Mr. Yang were conspiring. ·······”

After reading it, Li Yu gave the letter to Zhou Jia and raised the cloth bag in his hand, "Xiao Xi, look, there are still people who remember that we have helped them, and found that someone was not good for us, and even brought a letter to remind us all the way. , and always remember to help me collect wild rice."

Zhou Jia nodded after looking at it and said: "Yes! They say that it is easy to hold a grudge but hard to hold a grudge. Back then, you taught the people in Hujia Village a lesson. Who would have thought that the entire Hu family who were thieves in the village would always remember Thank you for your kindness."

Li Yu smiled and said: "That's why people say that one kind of rice can feed all kinds of people!"

Zhou Jia nodded and turned to look at Yang Yang, who was squatting beside the cradle teasing Yueyue, "Yang'er, how are you doing with your homework these days?"

Yangyang turned to look at Zhou Jia with some pride, "Dad, my husband praised me yesterday and said that if I pass the test next month, I can go to class with the older kids."

Zhou Jia smiled and stepped forward to hold him, "Okay, go to the study room, daddy will test you."

Li Yu watched the father and son walking away hand in hand, tucked the two children under the quilt, and asked Grandma Chen to look at the children, and then went to the back garden to look at the sweet potatoes.

Zhang Defa's family got up early in the morning, and after finding out the location of East Street, they hurried towards East Street.

When we walked to East Street, the sun was already high. The family looked at the rows of houses on both sides of the street, and the splendidly decorated shops.

Most of the vehicles on the street are tall and tall, and the clothes of pedestrians look either rich or expensive at a glance.

The family ignored the sightseeing and wandered around the streets of East Street separately. When they inquired, they were shouted at and chased away by servants with sticks.

The family was so hungry that they found Li Yu's house in the afternoon.

Standing opposite Li Yu's house, Zhang Guisheng bent down and rubbed his sore leg. He looked at the red lacquered door opposite and the majestic stone lion at the door with sinister eyes. He felt mixed emotions in his heart...

Chen Zhaodi looked at the mansion opposite with envy, "Oh my God! That bitch like Li Yu actually lives in such a big and nice house."

Zhang Defa also stared blankly, suddenly feeling a little scared when he thought of the scene when he was driven away by those servants just now.

"Guisheng, that bitch Li Yu was not a good person before, and now she is a high-ranking official's wife. Can we get any benefits?"

"You have to try even if you can't get it. Mr. Yang once said that the more wealthy a family like this is, the more they care about their reputation. Let my mother go to her to negotiate terms. If she doesn't agree to us, we will make trouble outside the gate. Didn't she say that those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes? Now we are the ones who are barefoot."

Zhang Defa felt that Zhang Guisheng had spoken to his heart, "Yes, we are the ones with bare feet now, we are not afraid of her."

Chen Zhaodi looked at the two of them, then looked at the other side, and swallowed nervously, "How much money should I ask her to give us after I go in?"

Zhang Defa thought for a moment and said, "You should definitely need a few thousand taels!"

Zhang Guisheng gritted his teeth and said, "Mom, when you see Li Yu, take a look at the situation first. Be brave and ask for more. Let's see what she says!"

"Okay!" Chen Zhaodi nodded repeatedly.

Someone from behind shouted loudly: "You guys, what are you doing sneakily here? Get out of here, how dare you come here."

Zhang Defa quickly bowed and apologized with a smile: "Leave now, leave now."

Zhang Guisheng clenched his fists and took a deep breath, "Mom, we'll wait for you at the entrance of the alley. It's up to you."

"Oh!" Chen Zhaodi took a deep breath and strode towards the gate of Zhou Mansion.

Walking to the stone lion, he turned around and glanced at Zhang Defa and his son standing opposite. He mustered up the courage to go up the steps, stood at the door, looked at Uncle Liu, and shouted loudly: "Call Li Yu out, I have something to say to you." she says."

Uncle Liu looked at the bluffing Chen Zhaodi calmly, "Who are you, what are you doing with my wife?"

Chen Zhaodi raised her head and said, "You will know who I am when you let her come out."

"Wait a moment." Uncle Liu turned around and walked inside.

When Li Yu heard what Nanny Yang said, he chuckled and said, "It came quite quickly!"

"Madam, I'll send them away." Mother Yang said.

"This family is like rats in the gutter. They like to do tricks in secret. This time they dare to come to the door." Li Yu stood up, "Let's go! Let's meet her."

"Yes, madam." Nanny Yang followed Li Yu out.

Zhou Jia got out of the car and saw an old woman standing at the door, and immediately knew who it was.

When Uncle Liu saw Zhou Jia coming back, he stepped forward and saluted, "Master, this old woman is looking for a wife."

Chen Zhaodi looked at Zhou Jia, who was wearing official uniform and looked very impressive. She shrank for a moment, glanced at the father and son waiting at the entrance of the alley, and then plucked up the courage to wait for Zhou Jia to ask her.

"Drive her away, or throw her out if she doesn't leave."

Zhou Jia glanced at her every time and walked past her.

Chen Zhaodi shouted: "Master Zhou, do you know who I am?"

Zhou Jia turned around and looked at Chen Zhaodi with sharp eyes like a hawk, "Chen Zhaodi, the rat in the gutter still dares to come out and throw her out."

How did he know me? Chen Zhaodi was stunned on the spot.

Jixiang stepped forward and grabbed her by the collar and threw her down the steps. Zhang Defa and Zhang Guisheng ran out and shouted: "Come here quickly! They are being beaten. The imperial officials have beaten them to death..."

Chen Zhaodi turned over and lay on the ground, slapping the ground and crying loudly, "I beat someone to death. Is there any justice? Li Yu, you bitch, why don't you dare to come out to see me? Your sister and brother were living in my house back then." , Eat my family, use my family, now that you are rich, you will turn your back on others and beat them to death..."
