Chapter 116 The Difficulties of Brother-In-Law

Third Sister Meng moved her abacus, frowned, and lowered her head to check the accounts.

Sister-in-law Xue came in. Without saying anything, she laughed first and then said, "Congratulations, madam."

Seeing that Mrs. Xue was coming, Third Sister Meng put down what she was doing, stood up to greet her, and asked doubtfully: "Sister-in-law Xue, what happy things can happen to my family?"

Sister-in-law Xue put down the flower box she was carrying and said with a smile: "Of course the lady has a happy event."

Sanjie Meng didn't understand what he meant, so she asked her maid Lanxiang to get a cup of Furen to make tea and have it with Sister Xue.

The two of them sat down separately, and Mrs. Xue couldn't wait to say: "I've told you the truth, I'm here to serve as a matchmaker for you."

Third Sister Meng showed displeasure and said: "Sister-in-law Xue, my man died only a year ago. If I remarry, I won't be drowned by the neighbors' spitting stars."

Sister-in-law Xue said with a smile: "Madam, don't use these words to evade me anymore."

Third Sister Meng said: "It's not that the slave family is trying to shirk, but that Ximen Qing is not a good man. If Mrs. Xue continues to talk to that man, don't blame the slave family for ignoring you."

Sister-in-law Xue smiled and said, "Isn't it possible that the eldest lady doesn't know that Ximen Qing has been beaten to death long ago?"

Sanjie Meng really didn't know about this yet, so she asked curiously: "When did it happen?"

Sister-in-law Xue walked around the streets and was naturally well-informed, so she immediately told the story of Wu Song accidentally beating Ximen Qing to death.

Third Sister Meng said happily: "If the slave family had listened to you and married that man, it would not have made me a widow again."

Sister-in-law Xue smiled awkwardly, and then said: "This time I am here to show you a good man who knows everything about you."

Third Sister Meng asked: "Who is that person?"

Sister-in-law Xue said with a smile: "That's the shopkeeper of the Lion House, a senior official of the Zhang family."

When Sanjie Meng heard that it was Zhang Zhengdao, she shook her head like a rattle and refused bluntly: "Sister-in-law Xue, that person is not a good man either."

"He calls him 'Playboy'. There are many women in the family. If the slave family marries someone, wouldn't it be like jumping into a pit of fire?" Third Sister Meng was a little excited. She stood up and said, "Sister-in-law Xue, if the slave family has something to do, let's go ahead."

No more farewell."

Seeing that she was about to see off the guests, Mrs. Xue could not easily leave. She quickly said: "Madam, please listen to me."

"Your little uncle is getting older. In the future, my sister-in-law and uncle will live under the same roof. After a long time, I'm afraid the neighbors will start talking about it." Seeing that Third Sister Meng had listened, Aunt Xue continued.

: "Even my maternal uncle is not easy to get along with. During this period, I heard that he often comes to the house to make trouble."

Third Sister Meng remained silent.

Sister-in-law Xue continued: "That official Zhang just made a marriage agreement with a young lady from Inspector Wu's family in the county. Now that young lady is wearing a filial piety and has not been able to enter his house for a year and a half."

"Although you were married to a second wife, you are actually a big wife. You don't have to take care of all the big and small things in his house." Seeing that Sanjie Meng's expression softened a little, Aunt Xue knew that she had listened.<

/p>

At that moment, Mrs. Xue lamented again: "We women can't live without a man in our family."

"I have inquired, and the servants in his house personally said that the official Zhang is better than Lao Ai. If the eldest lady marries him, she will be happy." Mrs. Xue came closer and lowered her voice.

Third Sister Meng Xiafei's cheeks were filled with embarrassment as she said this bluntly.

Sister-in-law Xue comforted Third Sister Meng with her earnest words, and only spoke of this beautiful woman in a somewhat emotional way.

One was eloquent and tried to persuade her in every possible way, while the other thought carefully and seemed to agree. The two of them chatted in this room for two hours.

But it was said that Zhang Zhengdao was sitting in the Lion Tower, having some wine with Ruan Xiaoqi, and was a little drunk. He was about to take a rest, but his uncle Wu Kai came to the door.

He also asked the waiter in the store to add some more food and wine. Zhang Zhengdao smiled and said, "It's rare that my uncle wants to have a drink with me. Let's have a drink first."

Wu Kai drank a glass of wine, then looked at Zhang Zhengdao, with a sad look on his face, but he didn't know how to speak.

Zhang Zhengdao saw that his mouth was moving but he didn't say a word for a long time, so he smiled and said: "We are all a family. If you have anything to say, just say it."

Wu Kai sighed and said, "Sister-in-law, you don't know that I'm afraid I won't be able to stay in that inspection department for long."

Zhang Zhengdao asked: "Why do you say this?"

Wu Kai said: "Since my father's death, a local soldier named Zhao Boyan from the Inspection Department has come forward, won over most people, and opposed me everywhere."

Zhang Zhengdao squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "This is easy. Who is the new inspector? You and I will get some money, manage it, and kick the thorn out of the inspection department."

"My sister-in-law doesn't know something. The new inspector has not arrived yet. That's why Zhao Boyan dared to show up and fight against me." Wu Kai drank another drink by himself.

Zhang Zhengdao didn't know much about the duties of the Qinghe County Inspection Department, so he asked: "What do you people do on weekdays?"

Wu Kai introduced: "This inspection department is stationed three miles north of the city. There is a village set up there, and it is in charge of about a hundred soldiers. They are responsible for inspecting the nearby villages and towns, arresting thieves, arresting smugglers of salt, and maintaining public order in the countryside.

."

"Actually, it's no different from the headhunters in the county government. It's just that they work in the city, while we people can only live in the countryside, eating and sleeping in the open air." Wu Kai sighed.

Zhang Zhengdao came to understand and remembered that "Big Sword" Guan Sheng was a patrol inspector in Pudong, and he should have the same official position as his father-in-law who died of illness.

Wu Kai said: "I decided to quit my job at the Inspection Department."

"I wonder if my sister-in-law is still short of manpower?" Wu Kai said the purpose of coming today.

Zhang Zhengdao welcomed him with both hands. He was busy with everything at the moment, and he only needed a handy helper. Besides, since his uncle worked in the inspection department, he naturally had some skills and could be driven.

"That's very good. Why don't you also call my second uncle here? He is good at writing and can do calculations, so he can take care of the accounts of my store." Zhang Zhengdao thought of his second uncle Wu Bor.

, I know some writing skills, so we just arranged it together.

Wu Kai said happily: "I will go find him right away."

At that moment, I stopped drinking, got up and left.

Seeing how eager he was, Zhang Zhengdao didn't stop him and just went back to the bedroom to rest.

I rested my arms on my pillow and stared at the roof, feeling a little worried.

Zhang Zhengdao couldn't sleep well when he thought of the outstanding figures in Bianliang City. This guy had not used any methods for a long time. Could it be the calm before the storm?

I just lay there for a while, puzzled. I could only temporarily put aside my worries and think about the incident in Liangshan Dazhai.

When Sun San came back with the money, he sent Ruan Xiaoqi back to build the stronghold first and recruit five to seven hundred men, so that he would be prepared and feel confident.

I lay down and rested for a while. In a daze, I seemed to have someone push the door and enter the room, but he just sat quietly on the chair and didn't speak.

Zhang Zhengdao suddenly woke up and looked sideways, only to see a beautiful woman with her head lowered, holding a book and reading.

"Why are you here?" Zhang Zhengdao asked.
