Old Zhao took a pole of dry tobacco and squatted in front of the counter.

The dry tobacco is not much different from the one that Zhou Bingde had sucked before.

He took a puff of it and spit out a circle of gray smoke.

"If there is something wrong, I don't want to sell it. That's my daughter."

As soon as the sound came out, his tears fell, falling on the ground in front of him.

Zhao Dacheng didn't know if he thought of something or was infected by the sound, and tears fell down.

Wang Jin glanced at Zhao Dacheng suspiciously, then touched Zhou Huaishan with his feet, signaling him to look at Zhao Dacheng.

Zhou Huaishan nodded to show that he knew and only looked at Lao Zhao.

Old Zhao took another breath of cigarette.

"Although this small restaurant in my house cannot make a lot of money, it is okay to ensure that the whole family eats and drinks.

But now, the restaurant is going to be taken back.

My wife is sick, my eldest son has broken his legs and is still raising him, and you guys have just met you, you are so old that you can't do anything.

This family needs medicine and meals..."

He was a little unable to speak, and he paused several times in the middle, his voice trembling and sobbing, and he could hardly hear what he was talking about.

He took a breath of cigarette, rubbed his eyebrows with his thumb, and Lao Zhao's head let out a breath.

"You think I'm cold-blooded, I think I'm better than beasts. Anyway, before, I really wanted to sell my newborn daughter.

I'm not boyish.

I just thought, my youngest son, now he knows everything. If I sell him, even though he can sell it for a good price, he...

He knew that he was sold by his father, so it must be very painful.

I can't bear to leave him to work as a small worker outside. He... is still young, and he goes to work as a small worker outside. That hardship...

Why!

My daughter, she has just been born, and she doesn’t know who her father is and who she is. She… Maybe she can join a good family.”

Zhou Huaishan directly interrupted him.

"impossible."

Old Zhao was stunned and looked at Zhou Huaishan in surprise, with tears in his eyes.

Zhou Huaishan glanced at Lao Zhao, "I see your son, you have beautiful eyes and beautiful eyes. You, your daughter, can't be wrong. This man is willing to pay a few taels of silver, but he is afraid he will sell it to Yangzhou."

Wang Jin immediately understood.

Some people in Yangzhou specialize in raising thin horses.

Educated since childhood.

All of them are beautiful girls and...boys.

Wang Jin glanced at Zhou Huaishan, and Zhou Huaishan stared at Lao Zhao's head with a serious expression. "Do you know what the outcome will be if you sell it to Yangzhou? That is, you have been trained to be a prostitute since childhood."

Zhou Huaishan used the most direct and impactful words to express this profession.

Old Zhao obviously didn't expect that he sat on the ground with a bang.

Zhou Huaishan looked at him coldly, "If it were a thin horse, it would be better. At least she wouldn't endure hardships when she was a child, but if she had poor talent and her place to grow up was a brothel of all levels."

Wang Jin immediately pulled Zhou Huaishan, wanting to remind him not to say so directly

Old Zhao was obviously scared.

Zhou Huaishan ignored Wang Jin, "Did that person tell you that the child was sold to another family, and that person has no daughter and cannot give birth to a child. He wants to buy a daughter?"

Old Zhao was frightened and nodded in a daze.

Zhou Huaishan said, "You believe this!"

Click!

The cigarette pole in Lao Zhao's hand slid down to the ground.

Zhou Huaishan looked at him and sighed, "You just said that your restaurant is going to be taken back. Why? This is not your own store?"

Zhou Huaishan suddenly changed the topic, and Old Zhao had not yet reacted.

He was stunned for a while, suddenly stood up and knelt down, and kowtowed three times to Zhou Huaishan.

"I'm confused, thank you."

He cried so hard that he burst into tears and snot. He could hear that he was really scared.

Zhou Huaishan didn't say anything.

After three heads kowtowed, Lao Zhao stood up with tears in his eyes and continued to squat in front of the counter.

"This store is mine, but a while ago, I recorded it under Zhou Yuan's name. You should know Zhou Yuan. You just said that your daughter is going to marry the shadow commander, you, you..."

Zhou Huaishan nodded, "I know."

Wang Jin said, "No, why did you remember your store in Zhou Yuan's name?"

Old Zhao smiled bitterly.

"Zhou Yuan is a regular visitor here. In the past, people always come to me to collect protection fees. Since Zhou Yuan came, those people have never received them again.

Not only did he come here for dinner, but sometimes he also taught my youngest son to read.

My eldest son’s work was also introduced by Zhou Yuan.

He comes here from time to time with some nutritional supplements or ginseng and mozi.

Sometimes, when he is late, he comes to my place for dinner and we will have some drinks together.

We usually get very close.

Once, he said he was in some trouble and he could tell me directly about the trouble, and said he needed to use my store.

I can't refuse him because of my usual feelings.

This store was recorded in his name.

It took less than half a month to remember it, and something happened to his house. Later, someone came to him and said that Zhou Yuan had sold the store to him and he came to buy the house.

He has a deed stamped by the government, and it will be useless whether I explain it or not."

Unlike before, when he mentioned buying a child, Lao Zhao almost said it in one breath when talking about this house.

After he finished speaking, he picked up the dry cigarette on the ground and sucked two puffs.

Zhou Huaishan looked at him and didn't say anything. He turned around and grabbed the chopsticks to eat.

Wang Jin wanted to say something, but Zhou Huaishan didn't say a word. He glanced at Lao Zhao's head, and then he didn't speak, but just lowered his head to eat.

The three of them seemed to have made an appointment, and no one touched the newly served spicy chicken.

After a meal, the three of them left.

After walking a little further, Wang Jin said, "Brother Shan, what should I do about this?"

Zhou Huaishan said, "What's the matter?"

"It's just this house, it's not obvious that Zhou Yuan has cheated on him."

"Why should I wipe Zhou Yuan's butt!"

"You just got it..."

"It's different. I can't stand them selling their children, but nothing else is my business, I don't care."

"You are not curious about why Zhou Yuan occupied someone's house? Who took the house from Zhou Yuan?"

“Not curious.”

Wang Jin looked at Zhao Dacheng.

Zhao Dacheng shook his head, "I'm not curious either."

Wang Jin shouted, "But I'm curious! I think if I can't figure it out, I can't eat or sleep."

......

Here, three dandy playboys started their day wandering life after drinking and eating.

That room, the imperial palace, the imperial study room.

It was getting late, and there was no light in the imperial study room.

The emperor sat on a large chair with expressionless expression, his eyes falling to the empress dowager who was sank on the ground.

Yes.

After Zhou Huaishan and Lord Jijiu left, the emperor did not ask the empress dowager to help him up, nor did he summon the imperial physician.

He just kept the Empress Dowager here.

Be in a coma.

I'm not seriously ill, I can always wake up by myself. After all, the ground in early summer is really cold.
