Chapter 810: Chapter 809: If Disaster Strikes, It Cannot Be Avoided

The whole family was excitedly scheming, as if they could see a new and wonderful prospect flapping its little wings and flying towards them.

"This matter must not be revealed," Zhou Xuennian suddenly said. "Don’t let the neighbors know."

Madam Lu and the others were slightly taken aback.

"Father?"

"Your grandma hates it when we associate with your aunt and her family. If she finds out, it might stir up trouble again," Zhou Xuennian said solemnly.

Madam Lu recalled their words, obviously disagreeing with the visitor, because it would be of no benefit to Wufu and her family, but to the Zhou family, it would.

"Xiuxiu, you must keep your mouth shut," Madam Lu said to her daughter.

Zhou Xiuer pouted: "I know, I’m not stupid, I know how serious this is."

"In any case, this concerns our family’s fate, so be cautious," Zhou Xuennian said.

Mother and daughter both nodded.

"Father, if Wufu finds out, will she..." Zhou Xiuer thought of Wufu’s fierceness and couldn’t help but be a bit fearful; deep down, she was afraid of Wufu.

Zhou Xuennian’s expression changed slightly, he swallowed instinctively, and after a while said, "We are not going to see her, we are going to see her father. The score that needs settling is with her father."

"Yes, we’ve taken care of Wufu and her family for all these years, he must repay us. What does this have to do with Wufu?" Madam Lu also said.

Zhou Xiuer fell silent, anyway, her parents were in control of the matter, she was just waiting to benefit.

If she really became a Lady of the Official, then...

She would need several maidservants to serve her properly.

...

The next day, Zhou Xuennian was in high spirits preparing to go out, but was blocked at the door by Zhou Xueli.

"Second brother, what are you doing?" Zhou Xuennian frowned at his younger brother.

Zhou Xueli looked at him meaningfully and said, "Big brother, I hope you never forget the lessons you’ve learned, there are some people you should never provoke."

"What nonsense are you talking!" Zhou Xuennian shook off his hand, feeling somewhat guilty, and said, "Move aside, I’m going to the town."

Zhou Xueli said, "Big brother, if it happens again, can you still endure it? This time, if you continue like this, even if you starve to death or sell your children, I won’t give you food, nor will I regard you as my elder brother or help you in any way."

Zhou Xuennian was infuriated, turned around abruptly, "You!" clenched his teeth, "Don’t worry, even if begging outside, I won’t beg in front of you, okay!"

"If you listen to sister-in-law, sooner or later she will lead you to your death!" Zhou Xueli continued, "Big brother, just live an honest life, as your brother, I’m begging you!"

"I don’t know what you’re talking about, I’m leaving!"

Zhou Xuennian snorted, turned, and left.

Zhou Xueli watched him walk away, sighed deeply, and turned back into the house.

"Mom, I think sister-in-law passed on the words she heard to big brother!" Zhou Xueli said, "I’m afraid big brother might do something!"

Old Lady Zhou was taken aback, her wrinkled lips pressed tightly.

"That person hasn’t come back, right?"

Zhou Xueli shook his head and said, "Hasn’t come to the village, I’m just afraid the other side might find out something, or find big brother."

Old Lady Zhou thought for a while, then said, "You go to the county right now, tell them, see how Wufu and the others plan, at least they can be prepared!"

"Yes."

Zhou Xueli was about to leave when Old Lady Zhou called him back, saying, "Forget it, don’t go!"

"Mom?"

"If it’s fortune, it’s not a disaster. If it’s a disaster, it cannot be avoided, let this wretched heaven arrange it." Old Lady Zhou stood up, went to the Buddhist jar and offered a stick of incense.

Zhou Xueli stared blankly, not knowing what his mother was thinking.
