You Really Have a Hand in Everything

A large pile of bones was pulled out of the Old Scholar Tree with a simple scoop.

The Black and White Twin Fiends turned pale instantly. Zhou Wanwan sneered, "Drag them away!"

"No... no! This isn't us... ah!"

Looking at the skeletons, Zhou Wanwan said, "Give them a proper burial! Those two were truly heartless."

The entire manor had only about 200 servants, and almost half of them were deaf and mute.

Zhou Wanwan felt heavy-hearted. The Old Scholar Tree circled around and said, "This estate is quite nice. Why don't we just move? What will happen to the servants?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at the servant kneeling on the ground and sighed:

Ask them if they'd like to come with us.

Those who wish to leave, may take them with them; those who do not, give each ten taels of silver, plus some grain, and let them fend for themselves!

After asking around for a while, it turned out that all the servants were willing to go with Zhou Wanwan.

Zhou Wanwan led them into Long Aotian's manor, Old Scholar Tree and the Old Ancestor had also absorbed two experts from the Earth Ranking.

The Old Scholar Tree chuckled and said, "I feel full of energy."

Zhou Wanwan smiled and said:

"The situation here is mostly resolved. As for Zhuangzi, it will soon return to normal."

As for those shops, I plan to renovate them all and reopen them.

Long Aotian nodded and said, "I will follow your arrangements."

Zhou Wanwan took out two ginseng roots and some medicinal herbs, saying, "These are all for you."

These medicinal herbs were exactly what these martial arts practitioners needed most, Long Aotian carefully put them away.

Old Scholar Tree led Zhou Wanwan home. As soon as they arrived, they heard Zhou Fuyu's voice:

"Fourth brother, didn't you agree to go back to Zhou Family Village in the next couple of days?"

Why haven't you gone home yet? Your family is waiting for you!

Zhou Fusheng looked at him and said, "Isn't Wanwan still not back?"

Zhou Fuyu frowned and said:

"A little girl like her, always running around outside, why don't you keep an eye on her?"

By then, their hearts will have wandered, and it will be too late to control them.

Zhou Fusheng said calmly, "My Wanwan knows what she's doing. She went out because she had something to take care of."

Zhou Fuyu snorted coldly and said, "What could a six-year-old girl possibly do out there? She's probably out looking for something delicious, isn't she?"

Zhou Fusheng ignored him, and Zhou Fuyu said, "Your parents miss you very much, and they've already prepared rooms, just waiting for you to come back today!"

Zhou Fusheng remained silent, when he heard the servant boy enter and announce, "Master, Miss is back."

Zhou Wanwan walked into the main hall, and Zhou Fuyu coughed as he saw her and said:

"Wanwan's back! Oh my! We've been waiting for you for so long! Why are you only coming back now?"

Girls will all get married eventually, so you should stay home and do more needlework and housework, and not always be running around outside."

Zhou Wanwan frowned and said, "You're really meddling in other people's business."

Zhou Fuyu choked and said, "Now that Wanwan is back, let's go!"

Zhou Fusheng looked at Liu Su'e, Liu Su'e said calmly, "Then let's go!"

Zhou Fuyu looked at the furnishings in his home and said:

"Since we've come all this way, we can't come empty-handed!"

I see we still have chickens, ducks, and geese at home. Shall we bring them with us?

Zhou Wanwan glanced at him indifferently and said, "You've come to my house to rob me? You've got the wrong person!"

Zhou Fuyu quickly said:

"We're all family, why are you talking about robbery?"

Didn't you bring back a lot of things when you went back last time? Aren't yours ours too?

"Besides, you're visiting someone's home and you don't bring anything with you?"

Zhou Fuyu pointed to the servants outside and said, "Go, take all those livestock with you."

Before long, the servants brought out a dozen chickens, two sheep, two pigs, and a cow.

Zhou Fusheng's face darkened. "What are you trying to do? You've taken all my livestock, are you going to leave us starving?"

Zhou Fuyu chuckled and said, "Fourth brother, your family doesn't care about such things. Besides, what's yours is ours, don't you think?"

Zhou Fusheng angrily asked, "Zhou Fuyu, what exactly do you want?"

Zhou Fuyu looked at him and said:

"Brother, we're really poor right now. We've lost all our livestock. I'm just worried that if you go, there won't be any meat to eat."

It doesn't matter if you don't eat well, but our Wanwan and your sons must eat and drink well, okay?

Zhou Fusheng looked at Zhou Wanwan, Zhou Wanwan didn't say anything.

Zhou Fuyu then said, "Alright, alright, let's get in the carriage and go home!"

Once inside the carriage, Zhou Fusheng angrily said, "Wanwan, why didn't you say anything just now? He robbed our family's things! He's a bandit!"

Zhou Wanwan looked at Zhou Fusheng and said, "Dad! This is just the beginning, why can't you stand it?"

Zhou Fusheng was furious. "The Zhou Family is as shameless as ever, Wanwan, what should we do now?"

Zhou Wanwan chuckled and said:

"What can we do? We'll just have to take it one step at a time! They're just some livestock, aren't they?"

It doesn't matter. What's mine is theirs, and in other words, what's theirs is mine.

"Since they took our livestock, it's only right that I take their things too, isn't it?"

Zhou Fusheng then fell silent.

The carriage arrived at Zhou Family Village Zhou Family Village, and as soon as it arrived, the sound of firecrackers could be heard.

Zhou Fusheng raised his head and laughed:

"It's really rare that Zhou Family Village actually set off firecrackers for us this time!"

It seems they finally realized their mistake. I'm a scholar now, after all! The status of a scholar is indeed very useful!

As soon as they opened the carriage door, they saw the people of Zhou Family Village standing outside as if to welcome them.

Zhou Fusheng suddenly felt elated. He slowly walked off the carriage road and said, "What are you all waiting for? You're not waiting for me, are you? There's no need to go to such lengths."

The people from Zhou Family Village quickly pulled him aside and said:

"Zhou Fusheng, quickly move your carriage away, don't block the road."

Zhou Qingzhou has really made something of himself this time; he married the daughter of the prefect.

"Oh my! Zhou Fuyu, congratulations! Your son is really amazing."

You went to pick up Zhou Fusheng so early in the morning? Does he even need you to pick him up?

Zhou Fuyu quickly smiled and said, "After all, he's my fourth brother! I have to go and pick him up. He's different now; he's a scholar now, very precious!"

"Pah! What's so great about him? You're already a scholar, why would you want to go and fetch him?"

"He was just lucky. I wonder how he got the title of scholar?"

"Zhou Fusheng, now that your nephew is getting married, and to the daughter of the prefect, you can't just leave without contributing anything, can you?"

"He's different; he's incredibly wealthy! He can easily spend thousands of taels of silver in a single transaction!"

Zhou Fuyu said with a smile, "Fourth brother, your nephew is getting married, shouldn't the uncle contribute something, more or less?"
