Chapter 39
Zhiran opened her small mouth in surprise, her expression was dull, her brain was empty for a few seconds before she realized, "Mother, didn't you always expect us to marry a rich man?"

At least Tang Corporation has always behaved like this!Whether it was Mrs. Zou's marriage proposal or Kong Wenjun's marriage proposal, she was not shaken in the slightest.

Tang said coldly: "Mother just doesn't like them."

These words instantly startled Zhiran to her feet, Ganqing Tang's eyes were high just like Yuyan's!The two brothers of the Kong family were not favored by the Tang family.

"Mother!" Zhi Ran breathed a sigh of relief, cleared her mind and said, "We will marry good people in the future, even high-ranking officials. We must have a decent dowry, right? And what I want to do, I don't have to Everything is public, I am just a small boss behind the scenes."

"The little boss behind the scenes?" Tang asked repeatedly.

Zhiran nodded her head resolutely, and said with certainty: "That's right, after the young lady got married, she didn't have a shop, a farm, or a village in her hands, but they didn't take care of these things by themselves! They were all done by the servants. , it’s no different from what I do now, I just hired people and didn’t put them into slavery.”

After all, the Tang family is the daughter of a rich family, and she will be transparent if she is a little dyed.

He relaxed and said, "Mother will feel relieved, but Mother also told you beforehand, you are not allowed to follow Mrs. Zou's example and show your face in public, otherwise Mother will not spare you."

"I know, I know." Zhi Ran responded humbly.

After a while, Tang asked again: "However, you are buying land to open a shop, and you are also studying medicine. Are you busy? During this period of time, there are many family affairs, and I have not urged you to learn to read. It's easy to say, but you can't relax in this matter. You have to study hard with your two sisters. You don't like female celebrities, but you have to learn some basics. Mother doesn't ask your female celebrities to be like Xiyu, and she doesn't ask your calligraphy and painting to be better than Your second sister, but you can’t be worse than other young ladies.”

Zhi Ran almost spat out a mouthful of blood, did she think she was King Kong?
"Mother, actually, I think I can read a lot of characters, so I don't need it! As for the female celebrity, I don't think I need to do these things myself if our family hires a maid in the future, right?"

Tang's eyes turned sideways, and he glared sharply, "In the future, you plan to borrow your husband's underwear from others?"

Zhiran choked for a moment, and silently complained: Mother, you think so far.

Seeing that Zhiran lowered her head and didn't reply for a while, Tang frowned more and more tightly, and finally said directly: "If you can't take care of so many things, don't set up a shop or anything."

When Zhiran heard this, she raised her eyes immediately, pinched Tang's hips with a doggy smile, and said flatteringly, "Where did you say that, your daughter? Is this the kind of person you are? I can be so easy in the face of difficulties." Just give in? Mom, don’t worry! If my field shop can be done well, it is naturally impossible for the female celebrity of calligraphy and painting to lose to others."

There was a smile in Tang's eyes, but his face was extremely serious and he said: "You said this. If mother sees that you are not good at painting and calligraphy, she will stop your farm business at any time."

"Yes yes yes!" Zhi Ran laughed stiffly.

After Tang left, Yuyan burst out laughing, "Thinking that you are smart all your life, you will be confused for a while, you have been fooled by mother! Mother said this on purpose because she saw that you didn't want to be like female celebrities. , I dug a hole for you to jump in, and you really jumped.”

Zhiran's face darkened, and she finally understood what was wrong, but she said stiffly, "Do I have the right to refuse?"

"Really not." Yu Yan gave a self-seeking look, and walked away happily.

When everything was settled, Zhiran thought about building the house, but his family didn't have any land, but it was easy to get a piece of land these days, just relying on the relationship of the village chief.

But she couldn't come forward in this matter, Lin Yidong still had to come forward.

Knowing the location of Lin Yidong's house through Yuchen, he refused Yuchen's kind request to accompany him, rented a small bullock cart, and went to Xiahe Village alone.

Xiahe Village is not far from Liujia Village, but the living standard of Xiahe Village is much lower than that of Liujia Village. Xiahe Village is at the end of the river, the terrain is not good, and the crop yield in the fields is not high. Will sell children and sell daughters.

When Zhiran found Lin Yidong's house, it happened to be noon, the door knocked a few times, and it opened automatically.

As far as the eye can see, there are mud walls made of rammed yellow and faded soil all around, and there are even a few fist-sized holes in it, and a few beams of light come in from the outside, and even the air exudes a muddy smell.

The furnishings in the room are very simple, with a square table and a few small stools, and the table legs still have traces of repair, which looks rickety.

"Is anyone there?" Zhiran called several times into the room, but no one responded.

Instead, an old man who lived next door came out to answer, "Are you looking for Yidong? He went out to fetch water for me, and he will be back soon."

Zhiran looked the old man up and down, and said that he was called an old man, but he was just a little older, conservatively estimated that he was only in his 40s, not more than 50 years old.

Uncle Zhong saw that the little girl had an extraordinary bearing, and heard about Yidong, and guessed that she might be Yidong's future boss, so he decided to endorse Yidong.

"Yidong is a kind-hearted kid. I woke up this morning with joint pains, and there was no more water at home. No, he immediately enthusiastically went to fetch water for me."

Zhiran nodded understandingly, and she said, this old man doesn't look so weak, why can't he afford a bucket of water, he has rheumatism.

But looking at the sky, the sun is just right, and it really doesn't look like it's going to rain.

"Miss, would you like to come in and have a meeting and have a cup of tea?" Uncle Zhong warmly invited.

Zhi Ran glanced at the empty house, but felt embarrassed to just go in like this, so she had to follow Uncle Zhong into his house.

During the period, I drank a cup of tea, but I heard Uncle Zhong talk about Lin Yidong. Yidong's younger brother is called Yibei, and he went out to work early this morning. Although the two brothers are hardworking, their mother passed away a few years ago, and they are in debt. For a large sum of money for soup and medicine, they stopped talking as soon as they stopped, so they had work to do at Zhiran's place, but they couldn't stop working for a day without getting money.

After hearing this, Zhiran smiled, and looked at Uncle Zhong's eyes with some inquiry.

Uncle Zhong knew that Zhiran understood, so he didn't say much, and went back to the yard to serve his potted flowers, seeing how attentive he was, just like treating a lover.

Zhiran suddenly thought of it and asked, "Uncle Zhong knows how to grow flowers?"

Talking about flowers and plants, Uncle Zhong was full of pride, "To tell you the truth, I have been dealing with flowers and plants for 40 to [-] years. I have been serving flowers and plants since I was a few years old when I sold myself to a wealthy family, but..."

As he said that, Uncle Zhong's expression darkened. Seeing Zhiran staring at him, he smiled and said sadly: "Later, the boss collapsed, and a few new bosses all disliked my body. Whenever it rains, it hurts." No matter how well the flowers and plants are served, it’s useless if you can’t work.”
