“He can go home by himself. Come back to pick me up when he’s done with the woman.”
Lin Xiaoyue smiled.
“She said you can come back when you’re done with the woman. From now on, she’ll be staying at our house!”
Hei Gang couldn’t hold it in anymore.
Just as he was about to knock on the door, he was stopped by Liu Shi. “Alright, let her stay at our house for the time being. Hurry up and go back and do what you need to do. Tomorrow night, come and pick her up.”
As she spoke, Liu Shi pulled Hei Gang into the courtyard.
“When this is over, give her a good life. Only when husband and wife are harmonious can their lives be better…”
When Zhou Shi heard them leave, she clutched her chest and heaved a sigh of relief.
Hei Gang had given her enough face, but in the end, she still did not leave with him. She was really afraid that her man would get angry. Fortunately, his godmother was here…
Thinking of the help they provided, Zhou Shi’s heart was filled with warmth.
“It’s fine now. Don’t worry.” Lin Xiaoyue smiled as she looked at Zhou Shi.
Zhou Shi nodded.
“Then I’ll get a blanket and send it to your room. After washing up, you should sleep early tonight.”
When she and Li Xiao got married, Zhou Shi came to the house to help. When she saw that there were many rooms in the house, she asked them to reserve a room for her and Hei Gang. She said that she would come over often.
However, the couple did not come over at all.
It seemed that it’s because of this matter.
“No need. I’ll sleep with you tonight.” Zhou Shi said as she looked at Lin Xiaoyue’s big bed.
“I wanted to talk to you about business.”
Today, she felt that she had really become a part of the Liu family.
Since she had such a nice sister, of course she had to chat with her.
She would talk to her godmother tomorrow.
She and Li Xiao hadn’t consummated their marriage anyway. They weren’t living together, so she wasn’t really taking Li Xiao’s spot.
Lin Xiaoyue paused.
“Alright then.” She smiled.
The two of them chatted for a while more before Liu Shi returned.
Liu Shi entered and informed Zhou Shi that Hei Gang had already left.
He also promised to send that woman away tomorrow.
“Hei Gang just cares too much about his old relationship. He doesn’t have the intention to let you down. You’re just imagining things.” Liu Shi said.
“Oh, right, I heard from Xiao’er that the shop is under your name?” Liu Shi asked Zhou shi.
Zhou Shi nodded.
“He’s just guilty. He wants me to let that woman in? Dream on!”
“I’ve thought it through. If he really lets me down, I’ll divorce him! All the money in the family has been bet on the shop. If that’s the case, I’ll make him lose both his life and money and become a pauper!”
Lin Xiaoyue and Liu Shi looked at each other.
Fortunately, Hei Gang was not a fool.
“Ahem, you’re smart!” Lin Xiaoyue gave Zhou Shi a thumbs up.
Liu Shi looked at Zhou Shi with admiration.
A hint of embarrassment finally flashed across Zhou Shi’s face.
“Haha…”
After confirming that Zhou Shi was okay, Liu Shi went to wash up.
After returning to her room and getting into bed, Zhou Shi started talking to Lin Xiaoyue about the manor.
“Actually, my paternal family has a village. The Zhou Village is my father’s. However, the annual output was not high and they could not earn much money. If I want it, my father will sell it to me at a low price.”
“The Zhou Village? Is it the village in the opposite direction of Daishi Village?”
She was doing business in town and had heard of the Zhou family.
It was said that most of the land in the Zhou Village was enclosed in the manor. Most of the farmers in the village were farming for the landlord, so the land in their hands was pitifully small.
There were more people from the Zhou Village who went to town to work than people from other villages.
“Yes.” Zhou Shi nodded.
“Also, if you need workers, that’s easy. Do you know about the Zhou
Trading Company?” Zhou Shi asked Lin Xiaoyue.
Lin Xiaoyue nodded.
She knew about it. When she bought Li Xiao and Qing’er, she bought them from Third Master Zhou of the Zhou Trading Company.
Could it be…
Lin Xiaoyue was shocked.
Zhou Shi smiled and nodded.
“The person in charge of selling slaves in Qingshi Town is my third cousin, and he has a good relationship with my father. If we need someone, we can ask him.”
Lin Xiaoyue was completely shocked.
She used to think that Hei Gang was the number one person, but now it seemed that her sister-in-law was the real boss.
The Zhou Trading Company was one of the top trading companies in the Great Yan.
Her sister-in-law was actually from the Zhou family!
She understood now. No wonder Hei Gang had been so proud when he mentioned his wife!
No wonder she dared to threaten to divorce him and throw such a big tantrum!
So….her sister-in-law was the one in charge!
