Originally, Zuo Junmo was a little apologetic because as a local, Yang Ruoqing's cousin came to Huguang County to do business, but he didn't know about it, and he didn't fulfill his duties as a landlord.

But I didn’t expect Yang Ruoqing’s reaction to be so unexpected!

"Qing'er, Fengtang, where should I start talking about this...? Please forgive me for being stupid, brother, for not being able to understand for a moment." Zuo Junmo said again.

Yang Ruoqing was so angry when she talked about Yang Yongxian. Now that she had said so much in one breath, she was already out of breath. She stood there with her hands on her hips, hoping that the strong wind by the lake could quickly extinguish the anger in her heart.

.

Seeing this, Luo Fengtang had no choice but to step forward and put his arm around Zuo Junmo's shoulders. The two of them walked a few steps aside and told Zuo Junmo the original source of capital for Yang Yongxian's business.

Yang Yongxian even said that he was going to Changhuaizhou to take the provincial examination in a carriage driven by Yang Huazhong, filled with the hope and support of the old Yang family, young and old. He failed and planned to stay there and be a son-in-law...

…

After hearing so many strange things, even Zuo Junmo, who had traveled extensively and experienced a lot, was stunned.

Each of these is weird. To be able to combine so many weird things into one person, how weird must that person be?

It’s simply a gem among weirdos!

"Brother Zuo, do you now understand what kind of person my cousin is? He does things that ghosts wouldn't do, one after another, and they are all immoral things!"

Yang Ruoqing blew a gust of cold wind, which at least calmed her mood a little. She came to Zuo Junmo and continued talking to him calmly.

"Up to now, my fourth uncle, third brother, and fifth brother are living in the house in fear, fearing that someone will suddenly come one day with the house deed in their hands and ask them to move."

"We tried hard to talk to him about it, but he refused to reveal where the land deed had been forfeited by him."

"Last time, he secretly dug the grave, dug up the younger son's bones and ran away. He said he wanted to move the younger son's grave, but the older son just ignored him?"

"You promised to take my father to Baie Town to enjoy the blessings, but you left the old man behind and ran away. Of course, the old man doesn't deserve sympathy."

"So Brother Zuo, don't pay any attention to him in Huguang County. If someone in the business field asks you about this, you must make it clear and get a little involved. Then you will be waiting to be taken by him.

Use it as a cover to deceive others."

Every word Yang Ruoqing said came from the bottom of her heart to remind Zuo Junmo, for fear that he would be deceived by Yang Yongxian.

But she really felt humiliated with every word that came out of her mouth.

That was her eldest cousin, the eldest cousin who couldn't write two Chinese characters in one stroke. In this era, what everyone valued was that a big family was connected by the same spirit. When such a scum appeared, she didn't say it, but she still felt in her heart.

I feel disgraceful.

Zuo Junmo knew Yang Ruoqing well and knew that she would never expose her family scandal unless she had no choice but to do so.

From another angle, Zuo Junmo was also quite moved.

Because Qing'er protected his sworn brother far better than taking care of his eldest cousin. She reminded him to be wary of Yang Yongxian because she didn't want to be used by Yang Yongxian.

Zuo Junmo has been in the shopping mall for nearly 20 years, and has experienced many storms and storms. The only time he fell into someone else's wrong way was that time in Yangzhou, when he boarded the ship of Jingling's biological mother...

He was always upset afterwards.

In my heart, I despised the boatman girl for being too proactive, but after spending time with Jingling day and night in the past two years, the family affection in my bones and blood was awakened little by little.

Watching the little man who looked exactly like him learning and growing day by day, he felt that his life had many more things than before.

That kind of thing makes him feel fulfilled, with a heavier sense of responsibility on his shoulders and more motivation.

If... if he was given another chance to come back, he might still get on that boatwoman's boat.

When she thought that the man of the previous woman was probably working under Yang Yongxian, Yang Ruoqing told Zuo Junmo and Luo Fengtang, asking them to wait for her where they were for a while while she went back to say a few words to the woman.

talk.

Soon, she came back.

"Qing'er, what did you tell her?" Zuo Junmo asked curiously.

Yang Ruoqing smiled and said, "Her man went to Baie Town and could only return home once a month. Their family did not have a house on the shore. The mother and son lived on this boat. Her parents-in-law were also together, but on another boat.

, Today her parents-in-law went fishing in the lake, leaving the two of them moored on the shore."

"Her child was sick. I left her 500 coins and asked her to go ashore to get medicine for her child. I also took the initiative and gave her your home address, Brother Zuo, so that if she had any trouble, she could come to you.

,Brother Zuo, you won’t be angry with me, right?”

Zuo Junmo laughed without thinking: "How is that possible! Your promise is Brother Yu's promise. I will help you carry it."

Luo Fengtang looked at Yang Ruoqing and said, "Qing'er, you deliberately left the address of Brother Zuo's house and showed favor to that woman, because you wanted to use her to find out something about your first cousin, right?"

Yang Ruoqing snapped her fingers: "As expected of you, you are my husband. You can see through what I am thinking at a glance."

Luo Fengtang smiled, this tacit understanding must exist.

Zuo Junmo said: "Qing'er, if you want to find out what's wrong with your cousin, isn't it easy? I'll just send a few people into Baie Town to help you find out."

Yang Ruoqing shook her head: "Don't underestimate my cousin. Because he has studied some books, he is still very scheming."

"He is also very vigilant and careful. If he hadn't chosen someone carefully and lurked in rashly, not only would he not have been able to find out the truth, but he would have alerted the enemy. Otherwise, I would have sent someone over long ago."

And this man from the boat wife was chosen by Yang Yongxian himself, so this was a suitable breakthrough point.

Sometimes the breakthrough is just a crack, but never underestimate that insignificant crack. It will tear apart little by little as the internal and external forces change, and eventually become a gap that may reveal the truth.

The three of them returned along the original road and walked for nearly an hour before returning to Zuojiazhuang.

At this time, the sky was already dark, and Mrs. Zuo was telling stories with Baobao Luo and Jing Ling in the house. The two children were nestled on the lap of the old lady, holding candied fruits and preserved fruits in their hands, and took a small bite.

, raised his head and listened attentively to the old lady telling interesting things about her childhood. She was fascinated.

Over in the kitchen, the old lady had already given orders for dinner.

So when Zuo Junmo and the others came back, the housekeeper had already greeted them at the door, greeting them with greetings.

The maid hurriedly went to the backyard to report to the old lady. The old lady said: "Go and tell the backyard kitchen to prepare dinner."
