Farmer girl swaps husbands: buys a sickly villain and pampers him

Chapter 101 Placement
In less than an incense stick of time, Feng Chaoyang and his friends arrived at the entrance of the dance studio.

It was too late today, so Zhou Wangshu handed them over to Chen Buyu for resettlement, and told him that they would discuss the details tomorrow and to arrange a place for them first.

The Lantern Festival had ended at this time and it was late at night. Su Yaoguang and Zhou Wangshu did not stay in the dance house for too long and soon returned to the backyard of Taoyaofang to rest.

The next morning, when Zhou Wangshu left for the academy, Su Yaoguang hadn't gotten up yet. By the time she woke up, the others had already finished arranging things at the shop. Seeing her exhausted face, they nudged each other, wanting to ask something but not knowing how to, their eyes burning with curiosity.

"My daughter, how did you and Wangshu play last night?" Zhang Zhaodi asked.

Su Yaoguang said while chewing the bun: "It's very good!"

"Will the lights be fun?"

"Fun." Su Yaoguang said, touched the corner of his mouth, and took a breath of cold air, "Oh no, I ate too much last night and got a blister in my mouth."

Jiang Jing came over: "Open your mouth, let me see."

Su Yaoguang drank a sip of water and opened her mouth for Jiang Jing to check.

Zhang Zhaodi saw that Su Yaoguang was no different from usual and muttered, "What on earth am I expecting? Even if these two little guys get married, what difference does it make whether they're married or not?"

"Don't worry, Wangshu is still a little young. He'll be fine in two years." Zhang Pandi said, "I think Wangshu is a very honest child."

"He's studying now. If he passes the imperial examination in two years, he might look down on our Yaoguang. To be honest, I'd rather he didn't do well in his studies and not take the imperial examination." Zhang Zhaodi lowered her voice and said, "Otherwise, after raising him for so long and finding out he's an ungrateful person, wouldn't that be a waste of time and money?"

"My cousin is also very good! If he is really like this, it means he is not worthy of my cousin." Jia Chunni said unconvincedly, "My cousin deserves the best man in the world."

"Chun Ni is right." Zhang Yingdi agreed.

Zhang Zhaodi felt a little better.

There weren't many customers today, so Su Yaoguang, Jiang Jing, and her two aunts continued to make the next batch of skincare products in the backyard. If Jia Chunni was too busy, Zhang Zhaodi would come over and tell them to come, and they would go to the front yard to help greet the customers.

"The shop across the street has been rented out. Seeing all the fuss, I wonder what kind of shop will open there."

Su Yaoguang paused in her busy work. She looked up at Zhang Zhaodi and said, "Mom, find out if Jiang Yihuan and Zhong Lanhua have rented the shop across the street."

"Them? Why do you suspect them?"

"I saw Jiang Yihuan and Xiao Ci yesterday and heard them talking. It seemed like they were going to do business," Su Yaoguang said. "Based on my understanding of them, they will definitely try every possible way to make things difficult for us. I'm just guessing, so it's always a good idea to find out first to avoid being on the defensive."

"Okay, I'll ask someone right away."

After a while, Zhang Zhaodi came back and said, "I found out that it wasn't those two dead women. The person renting the house was a woman from another place."

"What kind of store is going to open across the street?"

"We haven't found out yet," Zhang Zhaodi said. "The brokerage only knows that the woman renting the house is from another place. Even they don't know what she's going to do with it." "We still have to keep an eye on the situation across the street these days," Su Yaoguang said. "After all, they're right across the street. If we don't get along well, it will affect our business."

Zhou Wangshu applied to the dean for permission to return home every day. The dean was initially hesitant, but upon seeing both Chen Buyu and Zhong Chushan apply, he had no choice but to approve.

The headmaster knew that allowing only the three of them to live at home would cause dissatisfaction among others, so he changed the rules and allowed those who lived closer to home to go back and live there.

It was rare that Xiao Yanci did not step forward to stop it.

The Jiang family was about to start a business, and when they had a place to live in the city, he would inevitably have to go back to see Jiang Yihuan more often. Therefore, he reluctantly cooperated with them.

"You said you would have other arrangements for those ten people?" Chen Buyu was surprised. "Brother Zhou, those ten beggars are not very old. I think it's okay to arrange for them to run errands in our dance hall. After all, we have more than a hundred people in our dance hall, and we are often short of staff. It's no problem to have a few more errand boys. But you want to arrange for them separately, what can you do?"

"You just need to know that they are mine. They are being kept with you for now. Once I have made arrangements here, I will take them away. So you have to ensure their safety."

"If they were ten little girls, I couldn't guarantee anything. After all, I can't change my father's hand. But if they were ten servants, I could still do something about it."

"If you can't make the decision here, you can let me arrange it. Our gambling house is short of staff, and supporting ten little beggars is more than enough." Zhong Chushan said lazily, holding a grass root in his mouth.

"The current business of your gambling house is too monotonous. I have some ideas here. Would you like to listen to them?" Zhou Wangshu said.

Zhong Chushan spit out the grass roots in his mouth and looked at him with burning eyes: "Brother, tell me quickly, how do you do it?"

He hadn't hidden the fact that Zhou Wangshu was the mysterious Master Zizhan. He knew that this new friend had helped Chen Buyu earn a lot of money, giving Chen Buyu more influence in his father's eyes. His father knew that Master Zizhan was someone Chen Buyu had brought in, so he looked at him differently and stopped beating him recently.

As one of the two famous second-generation rich kids in the city, Zhong Chushan is also a poor scholar who is despised by his father. His father is about to bring his illegitimate son back home as his successor. No matter how tough he is, he can't stand his mother crying all day and begging him to do his best and never give up his inheritance rights.

"I used to be a scoundrel too, gambling all over the country and a frequent visitor to gambling houses. I've seen a lot of gambling games, from foreign lands, the capital, and the deserts and northern frontiers. I can teach you everything."

"Brother, you have to teach me well."

"I want a commission." Zhou Wangshu looked at him. "Brothers should settle accounts clearly. What benefit do I have?"

"Of course, I'm not someone who takes advantage of my brothers."

Xiao Yanci and a few of his classmates walked past. One of them saw the three of them and said sarcastically, "In today's piano lesson, the three of them played worse than a dog barking. They're not good at literature, nor are they good at the six arts. Zhong Chushan and Chen Buyu have some money from their families, and that Zhou Wangshu is a live-in son-in-law. How dare he spend his wife's money to live here?"

"Brother Xiao, the teacher said that your piano skills are somewhat similar to those of Master Zizhan. Could it be that you are Master Zizhan?" The man looked at Xiao Yanci with admiration.

Xiao Yanci denied it, "I've also heard the qin playing of that young master Zizhan. His qin skills are indeed superb. Without twenty or thirty years of dedicated study, such attainments would not be possible."

When Master Zizhan was playing the piano, he and several other classmates were in the side room. A casual inquiry would reveal that he was not the one who played the piano. He would never pretend to be this person.

Besides, a zither player is just a lowly person, what's the point of pretending to be one? He also disdains such things.
