"Is this my cousin?" Zhou Siyu looked at Lin Haoming, and a hint of redness appeared on her pretty face. She didn't expect that she would have such a handsome brother. She was so handsome, and she was not that delicate, but handsome with a hint of noble aura.
Zhou Lixiong looked at Lin Haoming and was not opposed to the existence of this guy. At least he was really sensible. He had been reading books for several days, and even looked like a nobleman.
Lin Haoming looked at Zhou Siyu. According to the standards here, she was a typical girl who had received good aristocratic etiquette education. In fact, the girls' school she went to was teaching girls how to be a noble lady.
In the Great Zhou Empire, women can get married at the age of fifteen, but the focus here is on one year old. Generally speaking, children from poor families often get married at the age of fourteen or five, but aristocratic women usually get married at the age of sixteen to eighteen or even twenty. Li Fengzhu married Zhou Lixiong at the age of seventeen, and her first daughter was born at the age of nineteen. She is now twenty-four years old. She married six years ago and now in the eastern part of Heishan City, Fanhe Town, and the mayor's son. It takes half a day to ride a carriage from Fanhe Town, so she doesn't come back often.
Lin Haoming stayed here for a few days, read a lot of books, and learned a lot, so he seemed to be unable to wait and asked: "Uncle Zhou, I have been here for five days, and I can't stay here forever, so if possible, can I do something?"
"What, do you want to do things?" Zhou Lixiong looked at the child's serious look and was very satisfied with his attitude.
"Yes, I can do anything. By the way, my math is still very good. I help my father record the accounts in the tavern. Of course, I know that it is very important to manage the accounts. I just said that I have the ability in this regard!" Lin Haoming explained humbly and politely.
"You are not young anymore, you should do things. Let me think about it..."
Just as Zhou Lixiong said this, the housekeeper Jiazhong suddenly came over again. "Master!"
"What's wrong?" Zhou Lixiong asked.
"It's Mrs. Li!" said the housekeeper.
"What's going on?" Zhou Lixiong frowned again when he heard Mrs. Li, because Mrs. Li was Li Qiang's wife. The wife found for his younger brother was a very good woman, kind and beautiful. Unfortunately, the more she was like this, the more she couldn't control Li Qiang.
"Mrs. Li said, Mr. Li hasn't been home for several days!" Jia Zhong said.
"What does it mean?" Mrs. Li meant that Mr. Li might have disappeared.
"That bastard doesn't disappear for a few days often!" Zhou Lixiong said disdainfully.
"Husband, let Huihui say this!" Li Fengzhu said with a wry smile.
Zhou Lixiong had no choice but to nod, and after a while, Mrs. Li also came in.
"Sister, brother-in-law!"
Lin Haoming looked at the woman who walked in. She looked like a thirty-five and sixty, and had a pretty appearance, but now her eyes were red. Lin Haoming also knew that she was Li Qiang's wife, named Zhang Hui. She was actually only thirty years old, ten years younger than Li Qiang. She married Li Qiang at the age of seventeen and had two daughters at home. The eldest daughter was Li Xiuying, eleven years old, and the second daughter was Li Xiuping nine years old.
"Huihui, what's going on?" Zhang Hui used to be a neighbor of Li Fengzhu. She grew up. Originally, Li Qiang had been lying around. Men here usually get married at the age of 18, but he was lying around, so naturally no woman was willing to go with him. A few years later, Zhou Lixiong's business got better and had a fortune of over 100 gold coins. This brother-in-law finally had a wife. Zhang Hui's family was not good at that time. At that time, Li Fengzhu bought it with money for this younger brother-in-law, and Zhang Hui was also considered virtuous. On the contrary, Li Qiang was not the kind of honest person. He was in a bad mood and punched his wife. After giving birth to two daughters, he was even more dissatisfied with Zhang Hui. As a result, he beat him up after confinement, which resulted in never having children again. Li Qiang was even more dissatisfied with her, so he was only thirty-year-old, and it looked like he was thirty-five or sixty years old.
"Li Qiang hasn't been home for five days. I looked for him two days ago, but he has looked for him and didn't see him. Tomorrow is the end of the month, and today is the day to pay the salary. Logically speaking, he must have gone home, but he still didn't answer. I'm afraid something happened to him!" Zhang Hui said worriedly.
Everyone knows that since Zhang Hui was unable to have children, when the child went to elementary school, she also helped in the factory to do something. Li Qiang will definitely appear every payday, and there are indeed some problems today.
"Husband!" After all, it was his own younger brother, and Li Fengzhu looked at her husband.
"Jiazhong, take Mrs. Li to the Public Security Bureau for a walk!" Zhou Lixiong said with a wry smile.
"Okay, lord!" the housekeeper agreed.
When Zhang Hui saw Zhou Lixiong ask the housekeeper to take him there, he felt relieved. After all, Zhou Lixiong still has some status in Heishan City, so it is safe to take the housekeeper to report the case.
Li Fengzhu was relieved when she saw this, and was also worried about where her bastard brother had gone.
For Zhou Lixiong, it would be better if that kid died. I don’t know how much trouble he has caused him over the years.
"Hao Ming, you just said that you are very good at math, right?" Zhou Lixiong asked.
"Yes uncle!" Lin Haoming said immediately.
"Tomorrow you go to the factory with me, and then you go to the warehouse and be responsible for counting the products. I'll see if what you said is really OK." Zhou Lixiong said.
"Thank you uncle, I will definitely work hard!" Lin Haoming agreed.
Zhou Lixiong looked at Lin Haoming's performance and thought about Li Qiang again. If Li Qiang could do this, then he would be much more worry-free.
After dinner, Zhou Siyu went to the study room, as if she wanted to find some book to read, but she couldn't find it. Knowing that Lin Haoming had borrowed it, she took the initiative to knock on Lin Haoming's door.
"Sister Siyu, what are you asking me for?" Lin Haoming asked politely.
"Haoming, I heard from my father that you took some books in his room. There is one I like very much. I only saw half of it before." Zhou Siyu looked at Lin Haoming, and said with a pretty face with a three-point blush.
"I took some books to my room! I've read it almost, so I'll get it now." Lin Haoming was like a gentleman, and soon brought a bunch of books.
"That's these two books!" Zhou Siyu discovered what he wanted.
"These two books are all travel notes on the sea, one of which is a novel, which is about a pirate!" Lin Haoming said. He has indeed read all these books.
"Isn't it great to gallop on the sea?" Zhou Siyu said with three-point hope.
Lin Haoming showed a hint of bitterness and said lightly: "The life of a pirate is not good, full of blood, fighting and betrayal."
"You seem to understand very much, brother!" Zhou Siyu asked playfully.
