Chapter 77.4: 哄好

[Coax (deceive) Well]

Qiu Jiu set out the breakfast that he had bought, and then as if he had thought of something, he spoke towards his family’s young master about the things he had encountered when he went out today.

 

Gu Lang nodded faintly after hearing this, indicating that he already knew about it. As for Chen Xing, when he heard that Zhou Qing’s mother had actually fought with another woman on the street, his eyes, which were originally torn or entangled, instantly looked over, his eyes hurried with the light of gossip, his eyes flickering, looking exceptionally bright.

 

The emphasis of Qiu Jiu report is the official posted notice, the matter of two women fighting, just as a funny story or incident he told them to amuse them. Just didn’t think Chen Xing was so interested, so he tentatively said more, and used exaggerated language and rich body movements to reflect what he had originally said in two sentences.

 

Chen Xing was born in a very harmonious place, and the elders he came into contact with were also the kind of elegant and sensible women, so when he heard that the two women would fight with such disregard for their image, his entire body was permeated with the surprise that there were still such rude and unreasonable women in the world.

 

Gu Lang looked coldly at Chen Xing, who had ignored himself all morning because he remembered yesterday’s grudge and saw his eyes glowing toward Qiu Jiu’s narration, he fiercely gripped the chopsticks in his hand, and finally said towards him when he couldn’t help it, “The buns that I bought are about to get cold, let’s eat breakfast first, and we’ll talk about the rest later.”

 

Gu Lang’s words were sparsely spoken, Qiu Jiu just heard a few bites of gnashing of teeth from it, he immediately closed his mouth and obediently sat down to eat.

 

Chen Xing, on the other hand, first looked at Gu Lang, and then looked at the steaming hot buns in front of him that were still steaming white, a few points of doubt gradually emerged in his eyes, as if he felt that this steaming hot big meat buns didn’t quite look like they were going to get cold soon. Just as Chen Xing was thinking about whether or not to ask, there was suddenly an extra bowl of porridge in front of himself, as well as two meat buns.

 

Chen Xing looked over along with the hand that passed over to him, only to see Gu Lang looking at himself with a smile on his face, after the two of them locked gazes, Gu Lang said in a warm voice towards him: ”Don’t you have to prepare a new dessert later? Eat something first to pad your stomach so that you have the strength to work later!”

 

Chen Xing first glanced at Gu Lang’s face smiling gently towards him, and then looked at the steaming hot buns and congee in front of him. For the sake of the buns and congee, he decided to forgive Gu Lang for teasing him yesterday

 

“Hmph.”

 

Gu Lang looked at the way Chen Xing gave a small grunt and then lowered his head and sipped the congee, knowing that he wasn’t angry with himself anymore, the smile on his face became more and more gentle.

 

Qiu Jiu glanced at Chen Xing who was burying his head and eating. He then looked at his family’s Young master beside him who was gently looking at him, his body trembled for a moment, and then he also lowered his head and obediently ate his breakfast. He admonished himself in his heart that he should get used to this kind of occasion, he had seen it so many times, how come he still made a fuss every time? !

In Butler Zhou’s resident courtyard.

 

Butler Zhou was sitting on the main seat, looking down at Zhou Da Niang whose face was bruised and swollen, with a piece missing from her head, crying and howling about how difficult it was for her son as she frowned fiercely.

 

In the end, it was Butler Zhou’s wife, who was sitting next to Butler Zhou, who opened her mouth, and advised towards her own uncaring sister-in-law: ”Yoúnger sister-in-law, don’t worry first, Zhou Qing is the one that we have watched grow up, so how can I and his uncle not be worried? You can wait a little longer, his elder uncle will definitely think of a way, and see if we can get him out or not.”

 

Hearing her words, Zhou Da Niang not only didn’t stop crying, but instead cried more and more miserably, and said to Zhou Da Sister-in-law who was advising her, “Sister-in-law, you haven’t given birth to a child, so you don’t know that this child is a piece of a mother’s flesh ah! Now that he’s in prison and I don’t know what’s going on, how can I have peace of mind? When I think of him suffering in prison, my heart feels like it’s being stabbed with needles! Besides, they’re about to send him to that labor camp. I’ve heard that if you go there for one year, your body will be wasted (disabled) but my son will be there for three years!”

 

Elder Sister-in-law Zhou was irritated by the choking tone of Zhou Da Niang, if she didn’t know that Zhou Da Niang had always had such a dog’s mouth temper (狗嘴里吐不出象牙; you can’t get ivory from a dog’s mouth. or A filthy mouth can’t utter decent language. or What can you expect from a dog, but barking). She was afraid that she would have mistakenly thought that Zhou Da Niang came here to choke her with her words. But although she understands, she still have anger in her heart when she heard these words, she simply shut up and didn’t say anything, with her eyes, she signaled to the Zhou Butler next to her, letting him to come towards her, anyway, that Zhou Qing is their Zhou family’s only son and heir, and it’s not their Wu family’s only son.

 

Butler Zhou received his wife’s eyesight, first he sighed helplessly, then raised his eyes to look at the not so far away Zhou Da Niang, with a weary voice, “Sister-in-law ah, Zhou Qing is my Zhou family’s only heir and son. I won’t leave him and do not care about him, so you don’t need to worry.”

 

When Zhou Da Niang, who was still crying non-stop, heard the butler’s words, she suddenly raised her head and stared fixedly at the butler, followed by crying harder and harder as she yelled, “Yes, Zhou Qing is the only heir and son of the Zhou family, you can’t just don’t care about him ah! When you all die in the future, you’ll need him to carry your coffins!”

 

Hearing these words from Zhou Da Niang, Housekeeper Zhou’s face skin kept twitching and jumping straight up, taking a few deep breaths as he tried to bear with it and held back. In the end, he didn’t say anything that showed his anger. He just looked at her and sighed helplessly, “I already know, I’ll think of something.”

 

Just as Zhou Da Niang was crying and wanting to say something, Elder Sister-in-law Zhou was looking at her with a face full of disdain, while Housekeeper Zhou was rubbing his swollen forehead and thinking of ways to deal with it, there was a not-so-small knocking on the door from outside, and at the same time there was a voice that came out, “Steward Zhou, are you at home or not?”

 

Steward Zhou frowned, but finally got up and went to the door to open the door of the room, and as soon as he entered, he saw one of the Chen family’s waiters standing there.

 

Seeing that the visitor was him, Housekeeper Zhou’s heart jumped, soon afterwards, he really heard the waiter in front of him say, “Steward Zhou, you’re not here today. Master is waiting around for you right now, and it seems that he has something that he wanted to ask you.”
