Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After a while, Lin Xiujuan said, “Future in-law, don’t be rash. Let’s ask the children if there’s a misunderstanding.”

Then, she advised Zhang Lan, “Sister, don’t be rash. Let’s understand the situation first. Brother Kun isn’t that kind of person. There must be a misunderstanding! ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Dakun ran over in a hurry and said loudly, “Yes, yes, yes, that’s right. It’s all a misunderstanding!”

Then, he ran over and pulled Old Madam Chen back. He smiled and said, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. My mother doesn’t know the situation. She’s just too worried about me.”

“It was all a misunderstanding between me and the Zhou family’s Miss. I didn’t see Miss Zhou at that time and blocked her way as she was coming down the mountain. Miss Zhou thought that I was a bad person and was anxious. Hence, she hurt me by accident.”

Chen Dakun explained repeatedly.

After that, he pulled Old Madam Chen and ran away in a hurry.

Zhou Xiaoli sneered in her heart. Chen Dakun was afraid that if things got out of hand and she had reported it to the authorities, his reputation would be ruined!

After all, he was a scholar.

If his reputation was ruined, he would not have the chance to take the Imperial Examination.

At this moment, Lin Xiujuan heaved a sigh of relief. “I knew it was a misunderstanding. Brother Kun is a good child.”

Right now, the Liu family and the Zhou family are working well together. On one side was the future son-in-law whom she liked a lot, and on the other side was her money tree. Naturally, she did not want to lose either side.

Thinking that the two families had a good relationship, Zhou Xiaoli reminded Lin Xiujuan tactfully, “This Chen Dakun doesn’t seem to be as good as the rumors say.”

Lin Xiujuan didn’t listen at all. She thought that there was a misunderstanding between Zhou Xiaoli and Chen Dakun and Zhou Xiaoli said that because she didn’t like Chen Dakun.

Therefore, she did not take Zhou Xiaoli’s reminder to heart at all. She smiled and said, “Little Li, there must be a misunderstanding between you and Brother Kun. Brother Kun is very ambitious and a good child.”

“He became a child scholar a long time ago. This year, he might be able to pass the Imperial Examination to become an Elementary Scholar. He’s a student studying under the might of the Emperor. He’s not the person you think he is…” Zhou Xiaoli kept quiet.

She did not have any evidence that Chen Dakun was a scumbag. If she said too much, the Liu family might not believe her. They might even think that Zhou Xiaoli was deliberately trying to ruin his good marriage to their daughter.

Therefore, Zhou Xiaoli did not say anything else.

Anyway, she had already reminded her.

Seeing that there was nothing else, Lin Xiujuan hurriedly went home to cook.

After closing the door, Zhang Lan pulled Zhou Xiaoli and checked if she was injured. She kept scolding her, “Child, why didn’t you tell your parents when you came back after such a big thing happened?”

Zhou Xiaoli’s eyes curved. “Mother, I’m fine. I just don’t want you to worry.”

Zhang Lan’s eyes turned red. “Silly child, what are you afraid of? Remember, Father and Mother will always be on your side. If you encounter anything in the future, you have to tell Father and Mother. Don’t bear it all by yourself, do you understand?

Zhou Xiaoli felt a warmth in her heart and nodded obediently. She held Zhang Lan’s arm and said coquettishly, “Alright, Mother. In the future, if I encounter any problems, I’ll look for you. It’s just that, Mother, you can’t be annoyed with me then.”

A smile appeared on Zhang Lan’s face. She patted Zhou Xiaoli’s hand and said with a smile, “No worries, no worries.”

Zhou Xiaoyu also ran over to hug the two of them and said cutely, “Little Fishy won’t be annoyed either.”

Instantly, both of them laughed.

The three of them chatted and laughed as they entered the kitchen.

Zhou Yu looked at the backs of the mother and daughter trio and a gratified smile appeared on his face.

Now that everything was fine at home, Zhou Junjun ran back to his room and started reading loudly.

When it was almost noon, many uninvited guests unexpectedly came to their house.

Looking at the eight or nine familiar faces in front of the door, Zhou Xiaoli wanted to laugh. She raised her eyebrows and said, “Yo, didn’t you guys get a good job with Cao Liu? Why are you so free to come to our house today?”

That’s right, these people were the workers who followed Cao Liu on strike and ran away with him.

Hearing Zhou Xiaoli’s words, those people felt a little embarrassed.

“Hey, Miss Zhou, don’t tease us. We were also deceived by that bastard Cao Liu.”

One of them spoke first.

Immediately, the others started talking at once.

“Yes, yes, we were deceived…

Zhou Xiaoli received a lot of information from them as they vented their anger and dissatisfaction.

For example, Cao Liu had first looked for them and said that there was work for Second Master Wan’s family. With that, they put on an act and went on strike.

Another example was about the stage that they were going to build for Second Master Wan under Cao Liu’s lead. The Second Master Wan wanted to build the stage to please the top lady of the brothel.

Another example was that Second Master Wan’s wife was known for being a shrew. For some reason, she found out that Second Master Wan had secretly built a stage for the top lady of the brothel.

Then, she caught Second Master Wan in the act and caused a lot of trouble.

Hence, the matter of building a stage was left unsettled.

Not only did they lose their jobs, Cao Liu had also gambled away the wages they earned over the past few days.

They suffered a double loss. Not only did they not get any money, but they had also lost their cushy job with the Zhou family.

After hearing this, Zhou Xiaoli wanted to laugh. She thought to herself, “this is karma.”

Zhou Yu was a little unhappy. He frowned and said loudly, “So, what do you want? Do you want to work for us again?”

Those people immediately nodded and started flattering themselves again.

“That’s right, that’s right. Big Brother Zhou, look, we had worked on the house for your family previously. We’re familiar with it, right?”

“That’s right, that’s right. We’ve been working for many years. Our skills are not something ordinary people can compare to. We work quickly and well. I guarantee that we can build your house to be strong and beautiful!”

Zhou Yu interrupted them impatiently. “Sigh, there’s no need for that. Our family can’t afford to use you. Now that we’ve found workers and are doing well, you should find another way out.”

When those people heard this, their faces were filled with regret, but they were still unwilling.

“Brother Zhou, look at how we built your house earlier. We’re more familiar with your house than the newcomers. We’ll definitely build it faster than them…” Someone said,

Were they trying to replace the new workers?

Zhou Xiaoli was so angry that she laughed. “No, big brothers, where did you get your confidence from? Our new workers are much better than you. They don’t know how to be half-hearted and scheming.”

“You guys should leave quickly. We don’t dare to use you anymore. What if you guys run away again?”

Zhou Xiaoli went all out in criticizing them. Those people’s faces turned red and white after being scolded.

After being rebuked by the Zhou family, those workers left dejectedly.

As they walked, they scolded Cao Liu for being a jerk. When they passed by the Zhou family’s homestead, they happened to see the workers chatting and laughing as they drank green bean tea..
