The evil sister-in-law dressed as a yandere boss

Chapter 288 Zhuo family affairs
Tao Zhen packed a few more dishes after eating. She was going to see the Zhuoning sisters and buy some supplements, so she left first.

Pei Zhan looked at the empty seats and suddenly smiled.

He felt that neither he nor Huo Xing nor Xu Yunzhi understood Tao Zhen.

He stood up and walked behind the screen. There was only a cup of cold tea on the table.

Huo Xing walked.

Knowing Tao Zhen's intentions, Huo Xing should not be entangled anymore.

Pei Zhan was in a good mood.

But Second Young Master Pei is young after all, and he doesn't know that there is something called "asking for something but not getting it".

Like him, Tao Zhen was the first person Huo Xing fell in love with.

Maybe Huo Xing is just thinking a little bit now. If he gets Tao Zhen, he may not like her so much after a while.

But I asked for it but couldn't get it.

The more something you can't get, the more it will become an obsession, a white moonlight cinnabar mole in your heart.

For the rest of his life, whether Mr. Huo is rich or powerful, he will never get what he wants most.

Dreaming back at midnight, he might ask himself over and over again, if he had been bolder and braver, would everything have been different?

But at that time, both Huo Xing and Pei Zhan were too young, and no one thought of this.

When Pei Zhan came out of the restaurant, he was blocked by a man. Pei Zhan was not surprised to see this man.

"Second Young Master Pei, my young master would like to invite you to sit at home." Qing Wu was polite, but his words were irresistible.

Pei Zhan smiled: "Okay!"

...

When Tao Zhen came over, Zhuo Ning had already woken up. She was not in good spirits, she had no energy, and she felt nauseous and couldn't eat.

Tao Zhen felt a little regretful. She had just been interrupted by Pei Zhan and had forgotten about it. She should have asked him to come over and take a look. She always felt that Pei Zhan's medical skills must be better than Xu Yunzhi's. Seeing Zhuo Ning look like this, he might have a concussion.

Tao Zhen took out the food and asked Zhuo Jing to eat with her younger siblings. Zhuo Ning said, "Thank you very much. I owe you another favor."

Tao Zhen said: "What are you talking about? There will always be times when I ask for help in life, and I want you to help me find cotton."

Zhuo Ning smiled.

Tao Zhen saw that she was not in good spirits, so he asked her to have a good rest.

After she left the door, Zhuo Jing put down her chopsticks and ran out: "Sister Tao Zhen, are you leaving?"

Tao Zhen nodded.

"I'll take you out."

Zhuo Jing and Tao Zhen went out together, and Tao Zhen asked: "Who injured your sister?"

Zhuo Jing said angrily: "It's my second uncle and cousin!"

The Zhuo family has long been divided. Zhuo Ning's father is the eldest son of the Zhuo family. In the early years, he was doing well by doing small business. The second uncle of the Zhuo family was a little jealous and often came here to catch the autumn breeze.

Zhuo's father took care of his brotherhood and helped him for a long time, but the good times did not last long. Zhuo's father suddenly contracted a serious illness and died, leaving an orphan and a widowed mother. Fortunately, the Zhuo family had some savings, so life was not a problem.

But Uncle Zhuo coveted his eldest brother's property and often came to make trouble. He also secretly arranged a marriage for Zhuo Ning. He was a distant nephew of Aunt Zhuo's natal family. He was of bad character and often wandered around with a group of gangsters.

Zhuo Ning naturally looks down upon such a person, and neither does Zhuo's mother, but Uncle Zhuo has already taken the bride price, and people will always want the money if they don't get it back.

So the man brought people to make trouble. Faced with a gang of scoundrels, the logic made no sense at all. Zhuo's mother had a dispute with them and was injured by them. In addition, she was depressed and became ill from overwork, so she left soon after.

The two adults of the Zhuo family were gone. Uncle Zhuo thought that these children were easy to handle, but he didn't expect that Zhuo Ning was very stubborn. She took out all the family's money and sold a lot of things to the gangster, and then she ended up with this. thing.

The Zhuo family's property was gone, so Uncle Zhuo made plans to build the Zhuo family's house.

The Zhuo family's house was bought by Zhuo's father back then. It cost a lot of money. It is in a good location and is worth a lot of money.

Uncle Zhuo made trouble again today and pushed Zhuo Ning down.Tao Zhen felt that this story looked familiar, and when he thought about it carefully, it was very similar to what happened in Wang San's family.

She breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that there were quite a lot of such things in this era, but the Zhuoning family was even more troublesome.

Tao Zhen had read a lot of Dashun rules. Zhuo Ning was a woman, and her younger siblings were young, so she couldn't keep the family property.

Zhuo Jing's eyes were red: "This is our house. My father bought it. We will never move out."

Tao Zhen looked at her sympathetically and didn't know how to comfort her for a moment.

When I returned to the inn, I found that the atmosphere was not right today. Instead of the relaxed and happy smiles on everyone's faces, they became more sad and unconvinced.

You must have been traumatized by today's talk session.

Jiang Qi happened to be there, so Tao Zhen found a table to sit down and asked him what happened.

Jiang Qidao: "This year's competition format has changed."

Tao Zhen asked: "What kind of reform?"

Jiang Qi told the rules, and in order to take care of Tao Zhen, he also said them slowly. Unexpectedly, Tao Zhen understood them as soon as he heard them.

In the past, competitions involved taking various exams once, and the final score was calculated.

The overall score of the academy and the individual scores of the students are selected in this way.

But this year is different. It is said that King Yanbei personally set the rules this year.

There are a total of sixteen academies in Yanbei. They draw lots to select groups of two to compete. Those who win are promoted, and those who lose are directly eliminated.

It's similar to later talent shows.

Hearing what Jiang Qi said, Tao Zhen understood: "Is the one with the sad face because he got the strong one?"

Jiang Qi nodded.

"What about us?"

Jiang Qidao: "We have drawn Wenwen Academy. This academy is not very strong, so it should be no problem to advance."

What everyone is worried about is that in the future, sixteen will advance to eight in the first round, eight will advance to four in the second round, and the winner will be decided in the third round.

Compared to previous years, this year's game looks really tense and cruel.

Mr. Lin happened to come in and asked Tao Zhen and Jiang Qi to come into the room.

Mr. Lin's room was quite big, and there were already several scholars there, and everyone was talking about the competition.

Mr. Lin knocked on the table: "Quiet!"

The crowd quieted down.

Mr. Lin said: "I know what you are thinking!"

There is no shame in not finishing in the top three, but it is shame in being eliminated in the first round. Although Wenwen Academy is not strong, everyone is still nervous.

Moreover, Tao Zhen knew that Dean Xu had a rival, who was from Mingshan Academy. He and Dean were classmates and love rivals when they were young, but in the end it was Dean Xu who won the beauty.

Dean Qi of Mingshan Academy and Dean Xu have been at each other's throats since they were young.

Every year, the two of them aim to defeat each other, and the students from the two academies are equally matched.

Mingshan Academy won last year, and Yunde Academy was laughed at for a year. It would be great if they met Mingshan this year, but they were afraid that they would encounter a strong opponent in any round and be eliminated before the opponent. That would be really embarrassing.

Mr. Lin said: "Don't be too nervous, everyone. Victory and defeat are common matters in military affairs. Even if you lose..."

He prolonged his tone and suddenly sneered: "If you lose, go back and clean the hut in the academy. The academy spends money to provide you with delicious food and drink. I don't ask you to give the academy president much face, but you must not embarrass yourself. "

Tao Zhen “…”

Everyone "..."
