Donated Every Last Bit

Master Zhu was a natural-born foodie, and looking at the lobster, he asked, "This thing is called a lobster, is it delicious?"

"It's absolutely delicious, incredibly delicious. You'll never forget it once you've tasted it."

Master Zhu took a small sip, narrowed his eyes, and glared at them, saying, "You've gone too far! You're all living the high life in the mountain stronghold, haven't you ever thought about me?"

He took another sip of wine, feeling quite lightheaded. "This wine is so delicious, I should visit the mountain stronghold sometime."

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said, "Okay, tomorrow!"

That night, Master Zhu got drunk, and so did the old ministers.

When he woke up, Master Zhu felt as if he had been in a dream.

He looked at Zhou Wanwan and said, "Wanwan, from today onwards, I am your master. You must study hard."

Zhou Wanwan nodded. She had been studying with Master Zhu in the study all day and felt dizzy and lightheaded.

Master Zhu looked at her and said:

"Alright, that's enough for today! But you're learning pretty fast."

Here are two books; memorize them carefully.

Zhou Wanwan looked at the two books and trembled.

She suddenly realized that Master Zhu was sent by Zhao Muyuan to get rid of her, sob sob sob...

She lost her freedom.

Just as he returned to his room, Luo Xue came to report, "Master, news has come from Madam and Master that Old Madam Zhou is causing a huge disturbance at home. Would you like to go back and check on her?"

Zhou Wanwan laughed and said, "Of course we have to go back and see. They didn't get anything out of our family, so they're definitely not happy about it!"

When Zhou Wanwan got home, she heard Old Madam Zhou shouting loudly:

Zhou Fusheng, who exactly are you guarding against?

"You don't even have a grain of rice in your house, and besides a bed, you have nothing. How is that possible?"

Old Madam Zhou really broke her guard; she wanted to come to Zhou Fusheng's house to get some food to take back, but when she got to the kitchen, she found it spotless, without a single grain of rice.

Undeterred, she stormed into their room, only to find it completely empty, with not even a blanket on the bed.

Old Madam Zhou's three daughters-in-law, Zhang Guilan, Zhao Zhaodi, and Qian Huihui, were all dumbfounded.

Zhou Fusheng sighed and looked at them, saying:

"Since you've all seen it, I'll be frank: all of our family's money has been donated."

There are refugees outside right now, we can't just ignore them!

Old Madam Zhou was so angry she could hardly breathe. "All donated? How much money did you donate?"

"I've donated so much, I can't even count it all. I've donated everything I could, and even things I couldn't donate."

Mom, I know you're doing pretty well now. Can we come over for meals sometime?

Qian Huihui was utterly unconvinced.

"All donated? How could that be? Zhou Wanwan is so shrewd, she could have taken everything from home to donate?"

Zhang Guilan stared at Zhou Wanwan with her mouth agape and said:

"Donated? My goodness, how much money is that? Are you all out of your minds?"

Liu Su'e, has your whole family gone mad?

Liu Su'e looked at them and said, "This is my family's money. We can do whatever we want with it. What's it to you?"

Qian Huihui looked at her and said:

Fourth sister-in-law, we're family, so don't you think your whole family's thinking isn't quite right these days?

"You've squandered all that money, what are you going to do now?"

Qian Huihui was very anxious. She finally understood that Zhou Fusheng and Liu Su'e were both mentally challenged.

All the money was donated.

Old Man Zhou looked at Zhou Fusheng and said:

"Fusheng! Did your family really donate all your money? Or did you secretly hide it away?"

We're all one family. Even if you manage to hide, we won't take your money.

Zhou Fusheng sighed and said, "These are all genuine, and there are written documents for them. Let me show them to you!"

Zhou Fuyu snatched the document, studied it for a long time, and then said, trembling:

"These documents are all listing the things you donated? Are you crazy?"

Millions of taels of silver donated? All your possessions donated? You've turned it into a charitable institution, you're really something."

Old Madam Zhou looked at the contents of the document and burst into tears:

"You family are such spendthrifts, millions of taels of silver!"

How could you possibly do this? This is all money! If it were in our family, we could spend it for generations!

Zhou Wanwan looked at them and said:

"Now all our family has left is this house; we have nothing else."

Oh! I forgot to let you know, we've sold this house too, and we're moving out tomorrow. We're moving next door.

Old Madam Zhou's vision went black, and she fainted.

She simply couldn't accept that so much money had been so easily donated to others.

Zhou Fuyu shouted, "Your whole family are crazy! You're all crazy! This is money, solid silver notes!"

Old Man Zhou's hands trembled uncontrollably as he looked at the document.

Zhang Guilan, Zhao Zhaodi, and Qian Huihui looked at each other in bewilderment.

Qian Huihui looked at Liu Su'e and said:

Fourth sister-in-law, you've gone too far! This is all family money.

"No matter what, you should have discussed it with us first. How could you donate it all without a word?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at her and said:

"Of course we should donate them. If we don't, these things will just end up filling your family's hole sooner or later."

"Your son has gotten into big trouble again, don't you know?"

Qian Huihui looked at Zhou Qingzhou and asked, "Qingzhou, what trouble have you gotten yourself into?"

Zhou Qingzhou's eyes darted around as he said, "Mother, how can you believe Zhou Wanwan's nonsense? What does a child like her know?"

Zhou Wanwan sighed and looked at him, saying, "Although I'm just a kid, I have a lot of subordinates! You went to the Fugui Gambling House recently and lost quite a bit, didn't you?"

Zhou Qingzhou glared at her and said:

"Zhou Wanwan, talk less. Nobody thinks you're mute."

I think your whole family is out of your minds. You actually sold the house; you're insane."

Old Madam Zhou is now awake, and she is crying uncontrollably.

"You wretched creature! Zhou Fusheng, you wretched creature! How could you do such a thing? Several million taels of silver!"

Even a small amount would be enough for us to live comfortably for the rest of our lives. Why did you donate it all?

No, I'm going to sue you! I'm going to sue you! I'll make sure you donate all our money!

Zhou Wanwan looked at her and said, "Ha! What a big face! Is this money yours?"

Zhou Wanwan did it on purpose; she had known about Zhou Qingzhou's affair for the past two days.

The original intention of leaving Old Madam Zhou at home was to deliberately annoy them.

They eat delicacies every day, while the Zhou Family family can't bear to eat or wear anything nice; it's already a form of torture for them.

The Zhou Family family had long coveted their house.

Zhou Wanwan had originally wanted to open a charity, and now that was the perfect opportunity, she cleared out all her belongings, sold the house, and incidentally left them homeless.
