The three widows remained calm and calmed down, and at the same time followed Old Man Zhou's words:

"That's good, gambling, nine out of ten gambling will lose. It's not easy for us to have this family business, so we can't do it. Then Liu Pan'er, you know, but she doesn't allow gambling, so she will never allow gambling. So many powerful people come to join us, and there are so many people under you. If you gamble and be caught, you will not only be beaten to death, but you will also be kicked out of Jixiang Town."

This is what Old Man Zhou is afraid of, "I understand, I know, don't worry, I know what to do."

"You must remember it for me, and you must not gamble." The third widow reminded, "If you are sick or lose money in business, I am willing to carry it with you and eat braised vegetables. I don't dislike it. If you go gamble, I will not live with the gambler for the rest of your life. Remember it clearly for me, and I will keep my word."

When Old Man Zhou heard the words of the three widows, he was not only not angry, but also very angry. The couple halfway through the road were still a bit in friendship, "Okay, I understand, I will never go to gambling."

Zhao Laolai had been staying in Jixiang Town for a few days, and walked around Jixiang Town in Jixiang Village for a few days, and really saw the wealth of this village. The relatives were decorated with lights and colorful things, and were very lively.

Apart from the more patrol people and a little more powerful, there is nothing special about it.

He was not planning to open a casino nearby for too long, and would leave after earning 10,000 or 20,000 taels of silver, so he felt that the risk was not great.

Lao Lai Zhao went to Old Man Zhou again, but Old Man Zhou still did not agree.

Finally, Zhao Lao Lai was furious and found Old Man Zhou privately, "Brother Zhou, the place where the casino is opened is ready, and the stalls will be set up immediately. Brother Zhou, come and help."

Old Man Zhou saw Zhao Laolai playing with the dagger in his hand, and was so scared that his spine became cold and his forehead was sweating.

If he didn't open a casino with Zhao Laolai, Zhao Laolai would kill him.

Because he knew that Zhao Lao Lai opened a casino, in order not to reveal the news, he either did it together or killed someone to silence him.

Zhao Laolai has done a lot of things like this.

Old Man Zhou wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then smiled dryly, "Brother Zhao, congratulations on getting rich! Just..."

The dagger in Zhao Laolai's hand was thrown hard on the table, "Do it, or not? Let me know, so I can arrange the next thing."

Old Man Zhou was trembling with fear and his face turned red, "Fuck, I will make a fortune with Brother Zhao."

When Zhao Laolai heard this, he smiled, "Haha, that's right! Your tavern is a good place for us to attract customers. This matter is left to you, and you are only responsible for bringing people over. You don't have to worry about other things."

Old Man Zhou had no choice, so he nodded at the end, "Okay, Brother Zhao will do whatever he says."

Lao Lai Zhao patted Old Man Zhou on the shoulder, smiling harmlessly, "That's right!"

Zhao Laolai was unscrupulous and swaggered away.

Old Man Zhou lowered his head and looked angry. Will he be threatened by Zhao Laolai in the future?

At this moment, Old Man Zhou walked on the main road and saw the people in the town, and was full of joy and discussion.

Only then did Old Man Zhou calm down and asked the old lady who was selling vegetables, "What are you talking about?"

The old lady selling vegetables was talking while helping people pick up vegetables. "Mrs. Derui sent someone to inform me just now, and she will be back in five days. General Li also came back this time and was promoted. The third-rank official is to manage all the soldiers on our Jiangnan Road."

"Yes, that's a great official! He can manage tens of thousands of people! The ancestral tomb of the Li family is filled with smoke, and such an amazing person has emerged."

"General Li is amazing, our Lady Dere is also amazing. She is a perfect match for heaven."

...

Along the way, Old Man Zhou had an idea when he heard everyone's praise for Liu Paner and Li Yuanqing.

Instead of being threatened and going on a wrong path, and finally being exposed, being driven out of Jixiang Town, or losing your life, it is better to abandon the darkness and turn to the light from the beginning.

Although he had done wrong things before, he had turned his back on the right path.

If one can make meritorious contributions, there may be a way out.

No matter what, his daughter-in-law is Li Yuanqing's real sister.

Even if the relationship is average, blood relationship cannot be broken.

These high-ranking officials will also restrain their relatives around them and will even send people to stare at him.

After understanding the pros and cons, Old Man Zhou made up his mind that if he wanted to turn defeat into victory and turn danger into safety, he had to make good arrangements and plans.

After the relaxed old man Zhou came back, he said to his third son who was busy: "Ying Niang, the third brother and the third sister-in-law are coming back. Now the Chinese New Year is coming. You go to the county town to buy some good things, prepare the New Year gift, and give it to you."

When Zhou Laosan heard this, he was slightly stunned, "I heard before that Ying Niang had a bad relationship with his third brother and sister-in-law. Even if we prepare generous gifts now, we may not be able to get the benefits if we get them together."

When Old Man Zhou heard his son's words, he glared at him, feeling that his son's head was a lump of wood.

"Ying Niang was still young back then, and was instigated by her unreliable parents, so she had conflicts with her third brother and sister-in-law. Now she has married into our family, and that is the daughter-in-law of our Zhou family."

"I have been honest and diligent this year. Mrs. Dere likes people who are at ease the most. As long as we are obedient and tactful, we will be good to our family in terms of face. Don't be reluctant to spend money. I will go to my place to get a hundred taels of silver later. I can't save the New Year gift."

When Zhou Laosan heard this, he felt that his father was right and that relatives should come and go frequently.

Usually he was in business with Mrs. Dere, and he was kind and had no conflicts.

Mrs. Dere is willing to pay for good things. As long as his goods are of good quality, Mrs. Dere never deducts money.

Zhou Laosan nodded, "Dad, don't worry. I will definitely buy a decent New Year gift to give it to you."

Old Man Zhou told him that he wanted to show kindness to Liu Paner and Li Yuanqing's family and deal with Zhao Laolai through their power.

"They have many children in their family, so don't leave them regardless of boys or girls."

Zhou Laosan nodded and replied, "Yes, Dad, I've recorded it."

When Zhou Laosan went to purchase goods, he specially chose some good shops and bought some gifts from the county town, preparing to give them to his wife's third brother and third sister-in-law.

Not only did they buy it for Liu Paner’s family of six, but they also bought it for Liu’s mother and daughter. According to the close relationship, Li Yingniang and Liu Paner’s family, Liu’s mother and daughter have similar relationships.

Since relatives come and go, you cannot favor one or the other.

Zhou Laosan came back, put the things in place, and told Li Yingniang, "Yingniang, this is what his parents told me to buy. After a while, you can send them with me."

Li Yingniang shrank her neck, "Why don't you go by yourself? I used to treat my sister-in-law and two nieces, so if I go, they may not accept it."

When Zhou Laosan heard this, he smiled bitterly, "Okay, I'll send it here, just do my best. You were young before and were instigated by your parents. I believe your eldest sister-in-law and third sister-in-law won't hate you for too long, so don't blame yourself."
