Chapter 75 Identity is real

Mrs. Lin thought very well, but she failed to find Zhou Ran the next day.

Zhou Ran stayed at home for two days. On the night of the third day, Ye Ximing came back and told her that the Zhou family had all left Nanxing County and would not pester him again.

Zhou Ran was very curious, "How did you let them leave?"

Ye Ximing said: "A businessman from Songshan Mansion took a fancy to Zhou Heng's ability and invited him to be his accountant. They followed him."

Zhou Ran looked at Ye Ximing and guessed: "Did you find someone to pretend to be the businessman from Songshan Mansion?"

Ye Ximing smiled and shook his head, "No, the identity of the businessman from Songshan Mansion is true."

It's just that he valued Zhou Heng's talent and invited Zhou Heng to be his accountant. It was a lie.

His original plan was to have someone trick Zhou Heng into going to the gambling house run by the Pu family, so that Zhou Heng would owe money from the gambling house.

The Pu family is considered a local leader in Nanxing County. In addition to gambling houses, they also own several large brick kilns. The business of the Pujia brick kiln is good, but the work in the brick kiln is hard, and the wages paid by the Pujia are not high, so the Pujia brick kiln is short of people all year round.

Later, the Pu family simply took up the idea of ​​gambling house gamblers and sent all those who had gambling debts to burn bricks in brick kilns.

The environment in the brick kiln is not good and the work is tiring. The Pu family uses the gamblers like slaves. It is said that few gamblers who enter the Pu family brick kiln survive more than five years.

But that night when Ye Ximing went out, he accidentally ran into Boss Zhen.

Boss Zhen was losing his temper with the people around him at the time. It was about to be the delivery time he had agreed with them, but something went wrong with their batch of goods.

Ye Ximing was sitting next to them waiting for someone. After listening for a while, he suddenly changed his mind and stepped forward to talk to Boss Zhen.

Finally, he came up with an idea to help Boss Zhen solve the problem of goods, and Boss Zhen did a small favor for him.

Boss Zhen readily agreed. Anyway, he was not allowed to kill people and set fires. He only had to take the people to Songshan Mansion in the name of the accounting clerk, and then send the people away from him on the excuse of lack of ability and bad conduct. At the same time, he would tell Zhou Heng what he had done. Just spread the word and let Zhou Heng's family struggle to survive in Songshan Mansion.

Without the Zhou family to disturb her, Zhou Ran quickly resumed her previous life, going to Liuguang Pavilion to teach embroidery in the morning, and doing embroidery work at home with Ye Xiaomei and Da Niu in the afternoon.

Soon, it was the day when Ye Huaili was full moon.

Ye Ximing took leave from Mr. Zou and returned to Xiyao Village with Zhou Ran and Ye Xiaomei and Da Niu.

Good things have happened to the Ye family this year. Ye Ximing's health has improved, Ye's father's legs have also recovered, Mrs. Li has given birth to a child, and even Mrs. Chen is pregnant now, plus Ye Huaili is the first grandson of the Ye family. , after discussing with Father Ye, Zhang was ready to hold a full moon banquet for him.

Zhou Ran and the others went back the evening before. As soon as they returned, Zhang held Zhou Ran's hand and asked questions, while leaving Ye Ximing and Ye Xiaomei aside, as if Zhou Ran was her biological child.

Zhou Ran also snuggled up next to Mrs. Zhang obediently, and she answered whatever Mr. Zhang asked.

After asking Zhou Ran, Mrs. Zhang asked Ye Ximing and Ye Xiaomei a few interesting questions, and then sent them to rest.

The next day, Zhou Ran got up early and followed Zhang with Ye Xiaomei to help.

After the full moon banquet, the Ye family was exhausted. She was lying on the bed chatting with Ye Ximing when Zhang's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

While Ye Ximing went to open the door, Zhou Ran got up and tidied herself up. After Zhang entered the door, she greeted him with a smile, "Mom, why are you here?" Zhang pulled Zhou Ran to sit down and asked, "I'm tired today." Is it broken?”

Zhou Ran didn't show any pretense, she nodded truthfully and said, "This is the first time I have hosted such a banquet at home, and I do find it a bit tiring."

Mrs. Zhang liked Zhou Ran's way of telling the truth in front of her very much. She smiled and said: "I know you are tired. I will boil some hot water and ask Sanlang to apply it on your legs later. Otherwise, you may be injured tomorrow." I can’t even lift my legs.”

Zhou Ran said sheepishly: "Mom, I'll just come by myself later."

Mrs. Zhang glared at Ye Ximing and said, "Why do you want him to do everything by yourself? You have been busy all day today, why do you want him to take care of you now?"

Ye Ximing was innocent, and he didn't say he was unwilling. He was very willing to serve Zhou Ran.

Zhou Ran smiled at Mrs. Zhang in a flattering way and spoke for Ye Ximing, "Mom, my husband has also worked hard today."

Mrs. Zhang tapped Zhou Ran's forehead: "Just protect him."

Although she said this, Zhang was happy in her heart. What does this mean? It shows that Aran is very satisfied with Sanlang and the two have a good relationship.

Mrs. Zhang smiled and changed the topic, "Mom didn't want to disturb you at this time, but there is something I want to discuss with you and ask for your opinion."

Ye Ximing said: "Mom, what do you want to discuss with us?"

"Your little sister's marriage." Mrs. Zhang said: "Your little sister is already sixteen this year. It would be unseemly to delay the marriage any longer. Someone mentioned a family to me today. I think it's pretty good, but I'm a little unsure. idea."

With the previous affairs of the He family, Zhang and Father Ye were afraid that they would make mistakes again, so they were inevitably a little hesitant about Ye Xiaomei's marriage.

This time, the person who wants to marry Ye Xiaomei is a family named Hong in the town. The Hong family knows how to make wine and runs a wine shop in the town. The family is in good condition.

The Hong family has two sons in total. The eldest son is already married. The second son who wants to marry Ye Xiaomei is called Hong Zhi. He is also a scholar, but he is only a boy at the moment and has not yet been admitted as a scholar.

After hearing what Zhang said, Ye Ximing was silent for a while and said to Zhang, "Mom, I don't think the Hong family is a good fit."

Zhou Ran didn't speak, but she and Ye Ximing had the same idea. The Hong family felt to her more like they were here for Ye Ximing. They wanted to marry Ye Ximing's sister, not Ye Xiaomei, which was no different from the previous relationship with the He family. the difference.

Mrs. Zhang sighed after hearing this: "Okay, then your father and I will think about it again."

After Zhang left, Ye Ximing discussed with Zhou Ran, "After I return to the county, I will find time to invite Wei Yan to my house for a meal." By the way, he wanted to explore Wei Yan's thoughts.

Zhou Ran said: "Do you want to ask my little sister for her opinion?"

Ye Ximing shook his head, "When I'm sure, I'll ask my little sister for her opinion."

The fact that Wei Yan might be interested in Ye Xiaomei was, after all, the speculation of two people. If he rashly asked Ye Xiaomei now, Ye Xiaomei, who originally had no feelings for Wei Yan, would develop a good impression of Wei Yan, but in the end it was discovered that Wei Yan did not want to marry Ye Xiaomei at all. I mean, doesn’t that make Ye Xiaomei sad?

Zhou Ran thought for a moment and nodded: "That's okay."
