Chapter 370 Worry to the death!
As the most flexible candidate among the Zhu brothers besides Zhu San, Zhu Wu came to the new yard and within a few words, he started chatting with Chief Zuo.
At this time, "chief" is just a title and has no actual power.
But Zhu Wu had a special explanation from his mother, so he didn't understand it. There must be something in it that he didn't understand.
He flattered Mr. Zuo and called him "brother" in a friendly manner.
Even though he was only a teenager, he was already an old man in his thirties, but he was able to coax him into beaming. He said humbly: "Little brother, stop bragging. If you brag again, my tail will reach the sky, even my own surname."
I don’t know anything anymore. What’s the main thing? I’m not an official. I just look at the potato seeds and take care of a few things. It’s nothing.”
"Hey, boss brother, you can't say that." Zhu Wu said immediately, "You are the boss now. In a few years, you will be Li Zheng. This is the Zheng in our village."
He gave a thumbs up, indicating that anyone could sit in this "upright" position?
Anyway, in Zhu Wu's opinion, apart from being upright, he only obeys the boss.
As a man, especially the eldest son of the Li Zheng family, would Mr. Zuo not want to inherit his father's position?
It's just that Satozheng looks older, but his body is still strong, so it's impossible to give up the position to him so early.
Master Zuo also knew in his heart that his father was not the only son. He just took advantage of the word "long" and took the lead. But if he really couldn't do it, his father would not help him, and the same would be true for his younger brother.
As the younger brother has become more and more outstanding in the past few years, Director Zuo is also worried - what if his younger brother overshadows him?
Therefore, Zhu Wu's words can be said to have entered his heart.
"Little brother, do you really think I can stand upright?" Seeing that nothing was going on around him, Master Zuo came closer, lowered his voice, and asked.
"Why not? In our village, besides you, who else can be upright?" Zhu Wu's mind was spinning so fast, pretending to be confused.
"My father is not the only son..." Director Zuo hinted.
Zhu Wu looked surprised. He raised his head and looked at Mr. Zuo, thinking for a long time: "You said your brother..."
At this time, although the sky was already getting dark, Chief Zuo and Zhu Wu were sitting very close, so he could clearly see the expressions on each other's faces.
He felt a little nervous in his heart: Don't worry about things that didn't exist in the first place, but now that he mentioned them like this, they actually happened.
"Brother in charge, are you overthinking it?" Zhu Wu said, "If Li Zheng really wanted your brother to inherit his position, the one sitting here now should be your brother, and it won't be you.
Think about it, these sweet potatoes are something that can fill your stomach. If the winter sweet potatoes are successfully planted, how much credit will it have? Li Zheng really wants your brother to be in the right, just let him come, don’t you think?"
"Hahaha... I'm just asking. Actually, I think your brother and I are both equally upright. We are brothers, so what's the difference between him and me?" Master Zuo's heart dropped.
In my belly, the smile on my face became much more real.
He wouldn't tell Zhu Wu, in fact, that's what he thought.
It's just that he couldn't say this to others, and no one discussed it with him, so he felt a little panicked.
Since Zhu Wudu said this, it should be Aunt Zhu's intention. His father also likes to discuss anything with Aunt Zhu, so the matter should be settled.
"That's what I say, but there is a difference between putting the money in your brother's pocket and putting it in your own pocket." Zhu Wu's eyes flashed for a moment, and he continued to pretend not to know, and said, "Brothers are also very particular.
Let’s settle the accounts clearly.”
He also used his own family as an example. Although the brothers don't pinch money, which one of the wives in the family doesn't pinch their own money?
If you dare to tell them that your money is mine, it won't be a big deal.
Manager Zuo laughed out loud: "Hahaha... women are like this, very stingy. What do you have to argue with them?"
As he said this, he suddenly remembered the Zhu family's "business".
Now other people are starting to do business in Zhujia Village, but they all buy goods from the Zhu family. According to his mother, the rule that his father and the patriarch set that "Zhu family men do not do business" seems to have been Aunt Zhu's idea.
.
Although he didn't understand why Aunt Zhu insisted on breaking this rule, the fact that the Zhu family's daughter-in-law could squeeze money in her hands did make many people envious of her.
Even his mother-in-law secretly discussed with him whether he should do something as well.
But unfortunately, his father didn't let him.
"It's not about fussing, it's mainly about this principle. Sometimes, women know better than us men that something is only theirs if it is in their own hands. As a woman, since she married you, she will give you children.
Girl, she must be looking towards you..."
"When she marries into the Zhu family, she will be a member of the Zhu family in life and a ghost of the Zhu family in death. If she doesn't turn to her own man, who else will she turn to?"
…
The two of them were talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
When Ye Yuran and Old Man Zhu came from the yard next door, they could definitely see the two brothers calling themselves brothers.
Because there were men outside, Lin Sanmei and Lin Simei needed to avoid taboos, so they didn't come over to sleep with them.
After Zhu Bamei finished her work, she followed the two sisters and stayed in the old house together.
When Chief Zuo saw Ye Yuran and Old Man Zhu, he stood up and said hello to them.
"It's you, why don't you sleep in my room at night? I have a bed, all ready-made..." Old Man Zhu was very polite when he saw that he was Li Zheng's son.
"No, Uncle Zhu, Zhu Wu and I can just sleep in the yard," said Boss Zuo. "We have made the bed and even lit a bunch of mosquito repellent. We sleep together and have company.
Can talk."
"You kid, you can just sleep in the yard by yourself, why are you dragging others along with you?" Old man Zhu also scolded Zhu Wu, saying that he was ignorant.
Zhu Wu touched his nose angrily and could only honestly take the blame.
Hey, can he say that this was his mother's idea, what is it called - sharing blessings and sharing difficulties, can we establish a deep "brotherhood"?
"Uncle Zhu, don't blame him. He didn't pull me, and I would have pulled him. I like talking to Zhu Wu. Uncle Zhu, please leave us alone. You can go and rest first. There is still a lot of work tomorrow."
Chief Zuo also said a few words for Zhu Wu.
"Then...I will go back to the house and sleep. If you need anything, just call me and I will fall asleep immediately."
"Hey, I know, Uncle Zhu, please go to sleep."
When Ye Yuran and Old Man Zhu returned to the house, Chief Zuo suddenly discovered something, that is - it seemed that the old couple did not enter the same house?
He was confused for a moment and asked Zhu Wu in a low voice, what was going on? Did Uncle Zhu and Aunt Zhu have a fight?
"No, wasn't it that my mother had to help take care of her grandson before? My father found it too noisy, so they were used to sleeping separately." Zhu Wu pretended not to care and said, "Although Dabao and Erbao are now studying in the town,
The third and fourth babies are getting older and they will move in together. My parents find it troublesome, so they simply continue to sleep separately."
What "earth-shattering" thing his father had done, how could Zhu Wu be willing to say it? He wanted to cover it up to death.
Who would have thought that a bad old man like his father, who has grown old and left his family to have a hard time, would actually have an affair.
With his mother's temper, it's pretty good that he didn't make a fuss.
If this thing were to break out, I'm afraid not many people would believe it.
It was okay if he didn't think about this at ordinary times, but when he thought about it, Zhu Wu felt like he had a cannon in his house that would go off at any time.
