"Is this my cousin?" Zhou Siyu looked at Lin Haoming, with a slight blush on her pretty face. She didn't expect that she would have such a handsome brother. He was so handsome, and he was not the delicate one.
, is handsome with a touch of nobility.
Zhou Lixiong looked at Lin Haoming, and he didn't object to the existence of this guy. At least he was indeed very sensible. He had been reading for several days, and he even really looked like a noble.
Lin Haoming looked at Zhou Siyu. According to the standards here, she was a typical girl who had received a good education in aristocratic etiquette. In fact, the girls' school she went to taught girls how to be a noble lady.
In the Zhou Empire, women could marry at the age of fifteen, but here the emphasis is on the age of one year. Generally speaking, children from poor families often marry at the age of fourteen or fifteen, but aristocratic women usually marry between the ages of sixteen to eighteen or even two.
She didn’t get married until she was ten. Li Fengzhu married Zhou Lixiong when she was seventeen. Her first daughter was born when she was nineteen. She is now twenty-four. She married six years ago and is now in Fenhe Town, east of Heishan City.
The mayor's son, Powder River Town is far away from here, it takes half a day by carriage, so he 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 impatient and asked proactively: "Uncle Zhou, I've been living here for five days, I can't stay here forever.
, so if it’s possible, can you let me do something?”
"What, you want to do something?" Zhou Lixiong looked at the kid's serious look and was quite satisfied with his attitude.
"Yes, I can do anything. By the way, I'm pretty good at math. I help my dad with accounting in the pub. Of course I know accounting is very important. I just said I have the ability in this area!" Lin Haoming
Explained humbly and politely.
"You are not young anymore and you should do things as you should. Let me think about it..."
Just when Zhou Lixiong said this, the housekeeper Jiazhong suddenly came over again. "Master!"
"What's wrong?" Zhou Lixiong asked.
"It's Mrs. Li!" the housekeeper said
"What's going on?" Hearing Mrs. Li, Zhou Lixiong frowned again, because Mrs. Li is Li Qiang's wife. The wife his wife found for his brother is a very good woman, kind and beautiful.
It's a pity that the more things go like this, the harder it is to control Li Qiang.
"Mrs. Li said that Mr. Li has not been home for several days!" Jiazhong said.
"What do you mean?" Mrs. Li means that Mr. Li may be missing.
"That bastard doesn't often disappear for a few days!" Zhou Lixiong said disdainfully.
"Husband, let Huihui do the talking!" Li Fengzhu said with a bitter smile.
Zhou Lixiong had no choice but to nod. After a while, Mrs. Li also came in.
"Sister, brother-in-law!"
Lin Haoming looked at the woman who walked in. She was in her mid-30s and had a pretty face, but her eyes were red now. Lin Haoming also knew that she was Li Qiang's wife, named Zhang Hui. She was actually only thirty years old.
Li Qiang is ten years younger. He married Li Qiang when he was seventeen. He also has two daughters at home. The eldest daughter is Li Xiuying, who is eleven years old, and the second daughter is Li Xiuping, who is nine years old.
"Hui Hui, what's going on?" Zhang Hui used to be Li Fengzhu's neighbor and watched her grow up. Originally, Li Qiang had been fooling around. Men here usually get married when they are around eighteen years old, but he was fooling around all day, so naturally he didn't
The woman was willing to be with him. A few years later, Zhou Lixiong's business improved and he had a fortune worth thousands of gold coins. This brother-in-law finally got a wife. However, Zhang Hui's family was not in good condition. At that time, Li Fengzhu almost bought her brother with money.
Yes, and Zhang Hui is considered virtuous, but Li Qiang is not that kind of honest person. He would punch and kick his wife when he was in a bad mood. After giving birth to two daughters, he became even more dissatisfied with Zhang Hui. As a result, after confinement, he was
The beating resulted in her not being able to have any more children in the future, and Li Qiang became even more dissatisfied with her, so even though she was only thirty, she already looked like she was in her mid-thirties.
"Li Qiang hasn't been home for five days. I looked for him two days ago, but I looked for him all over his friends and didn't see him. Tomorrow is the end of the month, and today is salary day. Logically speaking, he must
He wants to go home, but there is still no answer, I'm afraid something really happened to him!" Zhang Hui said worriedly.
Everyone knows that since Zhang Hui was unable to have children, she would also help with some things in the factory when the children went to elementary school. Li Qiang would definitely show up every payday, so there is something wrong with not showing up today.
"Husband!" After all, he was his biological brother. Li Fengzhu looked at her husband.
"Jia Zhong, take Mrs. Li to the Public Security Bureau!" Zhou Lixiong said with a bitter smile.
"Okay, sir!" the butler agreed.
Seeing that Zhou Lixiong asked the housekeeper to take him there, Zhang Hui felt relieved. After all, Zhou Lixiong still had some status in Black Mountain City, so it was only safe for the housekeeper at home to take him to report the crime.
Li Fengzhu was relieved when she saw this, but she was also worried about where her bastard brother had gone.
For Zhou Lixiong, it would be better if that kid died. He didn't know how much trouble he had caused him over the years.
"Haoming, you just said you were good at math, right?" Zhou Lixiong asked.
"Yes, uncle!" Lin Haoming said immediately.
"Tomorrow you will go to the factory with me. Then you will go to the warehouse and be responsible for counting the products. I will see if what you say is true." Zhou Lixiong said.
"Thank you uncle, I will definitely try my best to do a good job!" Lin Haoming promised.
Zhou Lixiong looked at Lin Haoming's performance and thought about Li Qiang. If Li Qiang could do the same, he would be much less worried.
After dinner, Zhou Siyu went to the study room, seemingly looking for some book to read, but couldn't find it. Knowing that Lin Haoming had borrowed it, he took the initiative to knock on Lin Haoming's door.
"Sister Siyu, what do you want from me?" Lin Haoming asked politely.
"Haoming, I heard from my father that you took some books from his room. There is one book that I like very much. I had only read half of it before." Zhou Siyu looked at Lin Haoming and said with a blush on his pretty face.
"I took some books to my room! I've almost finished reading, so I'm going to get them." Like a gentleman, Lin Haoming quickly brought a bunch of books.
"These are the two books!" Zhou Siyu found what he wanted.
"These two books are both maritime travel notes, and one of them is a novel about a pirate!" Lin Haoming said, he has indeed read these books.
"Wouldn't it be nice to ride on the sea?" Zhou Siyu said with high expectations.
Lin Haoming showed a trace of bitterness and said lightly: "The life of a pirate is not good, full of blood, fighting and betrayal."
"You seem to understand very well, brother!" Zhou Siyu asked playfully.
Lin Haoming looked at her and sighed: "Because my father used to be a pirate, and my parents were also killed by pirates, so I came here."
