Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 1078: Often worried about ninety-nine

After instructing Mai Qing to report to Chang Qing, Zhou Banxia thought about it on her way back to her room and decided to send someone to check if her father had returned from the brick kiln.

Zhou Shun was unaware that his daughter Sanya was secretly neglecting the grain reserves again. Of course, even if he found out, he felt it was only right to do so, no matter how much he felt sorry for her.

Just like Sanya said last time, thanks to her master, she is who she is today. Her master made her who she is and also gave her more relatives who love and protect her.

Indeed, his eldest sister, despite being such a solitary person, still paved many paths for Sanya before her death, ensuring that no matter what Sanya chose, she would have someone to protect her.

Even Sanya's biological father, her eldest sister didn't quite believe that he would value his daughter more than his son over time, and she didn't reveal a word about it when she saw him.

The older brother was amused by his complaints, but little did he know that his older sister's long face was just a way to scare him, not because she thought he was useless and couldn't protect his daughter.

He was just lucky and always found work outside. It was his older sister who was training him. He said that all the older and younger brothers were so kind-hearted.

So it turns out that his eldest sister secretly spent money to hire someone to teach him? Who would believe that if word got out?

The eldest sister not only shaped Sanya, but also helped him live a life that was no longer muddle-headed.

It was his eldest sister who made him, the second brother, learn a lot about blind filial piety and how to avoid trouble from those older and younger brothers; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to read a single word.
What do you know!

Now that my eldest sister is gone, I still have my two brothers and Sanya. I can't let my eldest sister's reputation be tarnished in the slightest!

"father?"

"Alright! Anyway, they're all things your aunt left you. It'll let people see that your aunt never forgot to teach you to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country."

Zhou Banxia wasn't surprised that her father always scolded her for being a spendthrift, but in reality, he always supported any decision she made. She couldn't help but laugh and say, "Father, isn't it just a matter of loyalty to the emperor? What is there to fear?"

"You think you know so many words!" Zhou Sishun slapped his daughter on the forehead in annoyance. "That's what your father meant. The Emperor's grace is immense. Without an imperial edict, your aunt can't get her things back."

Furthermore, you were raised by your aunt, making you His Majesty's cousin. Even setting aside the Emperor's favor, you still owe a debt of gratitude to His Majesty for helping your aunt and uncle.

I'm thinking of moving the grain stored here to those two villages first, and then donating it in your aunt's name when it's needed, as a token of my appreciation. It's only right; your aunt has taught you to be grateful and repay kindness.

"It's Sanya here. Unlike in the south, if you're moving grain reserves like this, no matter how many excuses you have, you won't be able to fool those who are watching. Shouldn't we inform Old Madam Gao beforehand?"

Zhou Banxia knows her father very well.

When her father speaks to her, he slows down his speech and unconsciously clenches and unclenches his fists, which means something.

I'm getting nervous again.

She wanted to say that no one could hear her and there was no need to boast about her achievements, but then she saw that her father had finally managed to avoid being hit by her fists. However, she changed the subject and suddenly brought up Old Madam Gao.

this one?
"Not long ago, when I asked my aunt to help me with the dowry for the Seventh Miss, my aunt and the Old Madam discussed the matter of the grain stored in the south."

"From now on, there will be princes following Lord Gao. My aunt said she needs to avoid any association with him, so I'll tell the old lady to be careful, lest some malicious person cause trouble."

That's something my sister-in-law would do.

That's fine. Favors are favors, but everyone should mind their own business... Zhou Sishun thought for a moment, "What about the eldest young mistress of the Gao family and your soap business?"

"It's unrelated. The two portions she took were for my filial piety towards the old lady. The other buyers were Uncle Qian's eldest daughter-in-law and the Jiang family. Everyone knows what's going on." No wonder these two families suddenly became buyers. He knew this wicked idea must have come from his son-in-law. Where did his Sanya get so many tricks up her sleeve!
With these two suppliers, it's not just about having a lot of people and influence, as the third son-in-law mentioned before. Now, another big guy has arrived, and everyone knows what's going on!

This son-in-law!

“If Liu Lang doesn’t want to be an official, don’t try to persuade him.” Otherwise, my dear daughter, you won’t be able to control him! Zhou Sishun shook his head in worry.

"Hahaha……"

Seeing my daughter laughing heartily only makes me more worried. What should I do?

She doesn't seem much like her mother on a normal day, but how come she has inherited her carefree and heartless nature!

And he kept laughing!

"Dad, do you think your son-in-law is stupid? Even though the grain donation is in my aunt's name, doesn't the benefit still go to me? If I'm doing well, then he's doing well too—"

Zhou Sishun hurriedly covered his daughter's mouth. This silly girl, once she got comfortable, she dared to blurt out anything. "Alright, alright, Dad knows, Dad knows."

I couldn't help but slap my daughter. "Tell me, how many times has your dad hit you since you were little? I can't even count how many times in the last two months alone."

"You're such a jerk! No matter what I do, nothing works. Next time you keep your mouth shut, slaps won't do, I'll just grab a stick and beat you!"

"Hehe, just like my father. If you want to blame someone, blame my mother. Father, don't worry, your daughter is right here with you, so you can tell me anything."

What did your in-laws say to you?

That's definitely his father's reaction! Zhou Banxia quickly replied, "No way, my in-laws treat me like their own daughter, they're very good to me, but no matter how good they are to me, can I say everything?"

I'm not really stupid, it's just that scheming is too tiring. The only person I can talk to without reservation about anything is you, Dad.

Sigh, outsiders only see the glory of his third daughter… “It’s all my fault, I shouldn’t have blamed you for talking nonsense; it’s my fault for being so foolish, why did I marry off my daughter—”

With a "pfft," Zhou Banxia couldn't help but laugh again. "Don't listen to my brother's nonsense. What respectable family would have two sons and still find a son-in-law to live with their daughter?"

Even if there are, how could a son-in-law who marries into a family be a good person? People don't want anything in return. It's so much better now. I can see my father right away whenever I want.

"Whose daughter is as carefree as mine? And you, Dad, aren't you underestimating yourself by giving birth to such a clever daughter?"

Indeed, what girl is as clever as his third daughter? She was so young yet she could recognize people and managed to persuade the matchmaker and her niece. When she was handed over to her eldest sister, she still needed her eldest sister's protection!
Putting aside the fact that my daughter has suffered a lot, she's incredibly smart, but being too kind-hearted is a bad thing; she's easily taken advantage of.

Forget it, if you can't change it, just keep an eye on it. It's just a waste of money, consider it a way to avoid disaster. Even if you're poor, it can't be worse than before when you couldn't even fill your stomach.
"Okay, if you think it's good, then it's good. Now your father doesn't need you to save up any more money or anything. Just be good to yourself. At worst, we can just go back to Zhoujia Village without anything."

Zhoujia Village is our root, and the old Zhou family there is our clan. Sanya, your father wants to be buried next to your aunt after your mother and I die—”

"Father!" Zhou Banxia was furious. Why did he have to say such unlucky things about death? "And you said I was talking nonsense! Bah, bah, bah! Bad things don't come true, but good things do!"

"Hahaha, you're just like your mother. Silly child, everyone has to go one day, and I have to think about what will happen after I'm gone."

Alright, this is between your father and your uncle, it's none of your business. Is there anything else? Your father-in-law is looking for you, I don't know why, he's probably getting impatient.
