Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Chapter 393 Promise Not to Take Action

Zeng Laosan held the silkworm seeds he had received and went to his temporary residence excitedly.

When he entered the house, he saw his mother taking dirty clothes out to wash, "Mom, look what this is." He took the paper bag and shook it in front of Zeng's mother.

"What?" Seeing his happy face, Zeng Lao Niang also became happy, "Eat, right?"

"What's so small?" Zeng Lao San said curiously, "It's silkworm eggs. I just got them from the county government."

"What's the use of these silkworm seeds obtained from the county government?" asked Zeng's mother.

Zeng Laosan explained it and then said, "Fortunately, I went there at the right time, and many people had left before me, otherwise I would not have gotten this thing.

Although it is said that the yamen may not make money, but I think the Beishan County Yamen never does anything unreasonable. The yamen is supported by people, so it must make money.

To put it another way, even if I didn’t make any money this time, I’ve shown my face in front of the officials, and they’ll think of me when they have a chance to make money in the future.”

Zeng Lao Niang listened to Zeng Lao San's words and nodded continuously, "Okay, okay, you are right. Don't be afraid of hardship when you are young." She smiled and said, "Tell me how to raise this thing, and I will help you."

"The official said that someone would come to teach us on time at each stage," Zeng Laosan said. "I've made up my mind. I'll use the new house in Pingbei Village to raise silkworms."

"Okay, I'll do as you say." Zeng's mother was very happy. As long as her children knew how to make progress, who would be unhappy as an elder?

After the two of them had discussed everything, Zeng's mother finally remembered, "I still have a few clothes to wash. You can send the silkworm eggs over first, and I'll come find you when I'm done."

Zeng Laosan noticed that the clothes his mother was holding belonged to his second brother and his wife.

"Mom." Zeng Lao San wanted to ignore it, but he couldn't bear to watch it. He took the things from his mother's hand and said, "Let them wash it themselves."

Zeng Lao Niang wanted to take it back, "I just happened to have time to wash it, it won't delay anything."

"What do you mean by just having time?" Zeng Lao San was extremely helpless. "They are free every day, can't they wash themselves?" "We are all family, there is no need to be so calculating. My legs and feet are still fine now, so I can help with more work. When I am old and can't walk anymore, you, my children, can remember my kindness more and not get tired of me."

"Mom." Zeng Lao San took several deep breaths, "I have never been tired of you, and I won't be tired of you in the future. Even if there comes a day like that, I will serve you.

Don't do it for them, the more you do it for them, the lazier they become."

"Hey! What are you talking about?" Chi Chunmei didn't know when she stood at the door, nor how long she had been listening. "It's your turn to say whether we are lazy or not? I didn't ask you to wash the clothes, and you are so nosy. You are such a nagging man."

Zeng Lao San's veins popped up when he heard this. He took a step towards Chi Chunmei, and Chi Chunmei immediately ran out in panic, shouting exaggeratedly, "My brother-in-law is going to beat my sister-in-law! Someone come quickly!"

Zeng Lao Niang grabbed Zeng Lao San and said, "Don't bother with her. She is just that kind of person."

Zeng Laosan sighed and sat on the doorstep, "Is there really no one in the world who can take care of her?"

Zeng Lao Niang eased his breath on his back and said, "Just don't see her as much in the future. When the house in Pingbei Village is built, you can open two doors and live separately from them."

"What about you?" asked Zeng Lao San.

Zeng was stunned for a moment, but soon she was relieved, "I'm old now, I can just find a place to stay anywhere."

Zeng Laosan was about to speak when the light on his face was suddenly blocked. He turned around and saw that it was Zeng Laoer who came back.

Zeng Lao Er looked at Zeng Lao San gloomily, saying nothing and making no move, just looking down at him condescendingly.

Zeng Lao San was so furious that he stood up and wanted to punch him, but before the punch went out, he regained his senses and said to Zeng Lao Er, "Let's go out and talk."

Zeng Lao Niang worriedly pulled Zeng Lao San and said, "Why don't you say anything at home?"

Zeng Lao San held Zeng Lao Er and insisted on walking outside. He turned back and said to Zeng Lao Niang, "Don't worry about it. I promise not to do anything to him."
