Chapter 415 416 I Still Rely on My Wife to Support Me

Zhou Jia glanced at him and responded calmly: "How do you want me to raise him?"

Old Mrs. Zhou rolled his eyes and said with a sneer: "You are also a fifth-rank official now. I heard that His Majesty thinks highly of you. You still live in such a good house. You know that I like to eat well, wear good clothes, and watch beautiful things." Watch a play, play calligraphy and painting, that’s all for now.”

Zhou Jia glanced at him coldly, then laughed to himself, "I'm not afraid of your jokes, your majesty gave this house to my wife, and I still rely on my wife to support me now!"

According to you, you have also thought about the days of living and drinking in the past. I can't afford to support you with my small salary. I don't want my wife to support me and help me support my uncle in the next room. I can't afford it. With that face, you'd better go to the Yamen and accuse me of disobedience! "

Old Mrs. Zhou put down the chopsticks in his hand with a 'pop' sound, stood up and looked at Zhou Jia, glaring and said: "You are fooling me! She is a woman from the countryside, your majesty will reward her with such a good house? How can she get it?" How can you support your big family? Just...

"Uncle," Zhou Jia shouted displeased, stood up and looked at Old Mrs. Zhou, "I'll tell you the truth! The high-yielding rice seeds grown near Kyoto today were cultivated by my wife.

For this matter, His Majesty not only gave her this house, but also granted her the title of First-Class Protector of the Country. The Dafeng Grain Shop in Kyoto has 10% of her ass in the seed shop. Do you think she can afford to support me? "

In Mr. Zhou's opinion, women are like Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Huang, who take care of the house, buy clothes and jewelry, and do not hesitate to use conspiracy and tricks to gain popularity and jealousy. Like his old lady, she even murders her innocent daughter-in-law and mutilates her own offspring. Heirs.

Zhou Jia's words overturned Mr. Zhou's cognition. His eyes widened, he blinked a few more times, and sighed: "My dear, why is your wife so powerful? I know Dafeng Grain Store, Yi Chengguo can afford to support such a large family, but you are only a fifth-rank official. When will you be able to become a first-rank official? It is really embarrassing. You are not even as high as your wife, and you still have to rely on your wife to support a large family. people."

Zhou Jia looked at him and replied calmly: "I am indeed useless. If it weren't for my wife, I would have been killed in the mountains by the people sent by my great-aunt."

Zhou Jia thought of his indifference in those years, which caused his mother to die unjustly, and looked at him angrily, "You think I am like you, only caring about my own life and debauchery, and not even wanting to protect my own wife and children. That's all! You'd better go. Just sue me in the Yamen! It doesn’t matter whether I serve as an official or not."

Mr. Zhou looked at Zhou Jia's resentful eyes and muttered, "I didn't expect them to dare to do such a cruel thing! I was confused at first and always thought that your mother and Huang were forced to marry by them. I... ···,"

Mr. Zhou looked at Zhou Jia with pleading eyes, "Jiahe, now they have suffered retribution. I really have no choice. I can't do anything. If I continue to be an old house, I can only be an old house. Don't worry, I'm afraid that my father will beat me to death again after I die. Xiaoxi, you...

"Don't call me Xiao Xi," Zhou Jia interrupted Mr. Zhou, looked at him and said, "All I can give is my monthly salary, and I can only give you a small half. Do you think it's okay? We Just discuss how you want to live your life in the future so that you have enough money.”

Mr. Zhou looked at Zhou Jia blankly for a while, nodded and said, "I promise you, you can use it however you want."

Zhou Jia pointed to the chair, "Sit down and listen to me. My current monthly salary is twenty taels of silver. I divide it into three parts. One part is for me to entertain my colleagues, one part is for my son to study, and one part is for my son to study. For your seven taels of silver, I will hire a mother-in-law to cook for you. My wife will prepare clothes for you in all seasons. I will give you three taels of silver a month. Once you use it up, it will be gone. If you think it is feasible, just do it with me. You can do what you say, but if it doesn’t work, as I said before, you can sue me at Yushitai and Jingzhao Yamen."

Mr. Zhou did some calculations and found that he had received seven taels of twenty taels of salary. Seven taels of silver should be enough. He thought for a while and then made a condition, "I will come to your house to eat three, no, four times a month with good food." Wine, your wife can always agree to this request, right? I also pawned the bedding and mosquito nets at home, as well as the tables, chairs and benches..."

Zhou Jia stretched out his hand and said, "Bring me the pawn ticket."

Mr. Zhou took out a stack of pawn tickets in his pocket. Zhou Jia looked at it and laughed angrily, "This set of tables and chairs is made of red sandalwood. You only pawned thirty taels and passed the current period. And The bookcase in your study room...

Forget it, good things can't be redeemed. I'll have someone buy you a usable set, and I'll deduct five hundred cents from you every month until the money you paid for the purchase is deducted. If you pawn things again , if you buy it back again, it will be deducted from your monthly payment. "

Mr. Zhou nodded aggrievedly, "Who made you the sponsor? You have the final say. Remember to make up for me after you finish deducting the money."

Zhou Jia nodded, looked at him and said, "Have you thought about it?"

"Think about it, remember, I will come to your house four times a month to have good food and wine." Mr. Zhou reiterated.

Zhou Jia nodded, "Okay, think about it. Let's make a contract first. Also, now that I am an official in the court, please take care of my face and don't do anything unreasonable outside."

After hearing this, Mr. Zhou became a little angry and stretched out his hand: "Why are you talking so much nonsense? Bring it here and I'll sign it."

"Wait a minute, I'll get pen and paper." Zhou Jia got up and went out.

Yangyang ran into the house from around the corner and looked at Old Mrs. Zhou curiously, "Are you really my grandfather? I've never seen you before?"

"Are you Xiao Xi's son?" Mr. Zhou looked at Yang Yang happily, groped around on his body, and then remembered that his wallet was empty. He looked shyly at Yang Yang, who was looking at him curiously, and rubbed his hands. How to reply.

Zhou Jia came back with a pen and paper, and saw Yangyang standing there looking at the shy old man Zhou, and said to Yangyang: "Yang'er, give your uncle a gift!"

Yangyang nodded, knelt down and kowtowed: "Yangyang pays homage to my uncle."

"Get up quickly. My uncle came in a hurry today. I'll make up for the greeting gifts next time we meet." Mr. Zhou responded at a loss.

"Yes, great uncle." Yangyang got up and looked back at Zhou Jia, "Dad, why do you call me great uncle? Mom said he is grandfather."

Zhou Jia looked at him with a straight face and said, "Yang'er, go to class quickly. I'll tell you when you grow up."

"Oh! I'm going down." Yangyang pursed his lips, saluted to the two of them, turned around and left.

Zhou Jia wrote the contract and asked him to sign it. Ever since he met Yangyang, Mr. Zhou was no longer as scoundrel as before. He signed the contract without saying a word and waited for the ink to dry. Good to put in your pocket.
