Light Keeper

Chapter 111
The client's name was Zhou Jiao, the ninth daughter of the Zhou family in Yuling County.

The so-called ninth daughter does not mean that there are nine daughters in this family.

But when she was born in this family, there were already nine girls in the same generation.

Her father was the only son, but he was the fourth in the family. When he was out, everyone called him "Thursday Lang".

This week, when Zhou Lang was young, he was a well-known gangster, fighting dogs and chasing chickens all day long, and fooling around with a bunch of cronies outside.

Grandpa Zhou was considered a man in his early years, but his fortune was too thin, and he suffered all the drunkenness of earning money. He saved a lot of family property, and he left before he came to enjoy the blessings.

The only thing left in the Zhou family is an old lady and a son who is so pampered!
Zhou Zhoulang has a bad reputation, and when he reached the marriageable age, there has never been a family of comparable family who is willing to marry his daughter to him.

He was married on the pole, but Zhou Zhoulang disliked his family status and always felt that he was not good enough for him.

It's just that high or low can't be achieved.

Worried the old lady!
Just as she was wondering whether to lower her standards, the Zheng family in the west of the city said that they were willing to marry the eldest daughter of this generation.

This Zheng's family is also a well-known local family. Among the younger generation in the family, there are several people who have become officials, which is not the same as the Zhou family's young and old.

If it weren't for Zhou Zhoulang's lineage being too rich, it would be Gao Pan if he wanted to marry the Zheng family's daughter.

Not to mention the legitimate daughter, the concubine is not unworthy.

When the old lady of the Zhou family heard the news, she was very happy to pay homage to the goddess Xuanyin and to reward her servants.

It is said that the daughter of the Zheng family is first-class in terms of literary talent, appearance and character, but her health is not very good.

Mrs. Zhou happily ran over to see each other, but she didn't want to be poured a lot of cold water on her when she came back.

From her point of view, how could Miss Zheng be in poor health!
This Miss Zheng is clearly short-lived.

It's true that they are good-looking, but they are as skinny as a piece of paper. In summer, they still wear two or three long gowns.
I'm afraid that after marrying her, even if she offers her heart and soul, this Miss Zheng will not live for a few years, and she will die soon.

And his incompetent son, with a bad reputation and high vision, and his wife died, it must be even more difficult to find a wife!
Mrs. Zhou pondered for a few days and felt that the marriage would not work!
He turned around and made an appointment with Mrs. Zheng, and politely declined the marriage. Originally, blind dates were a tactful thing in this era, and everyone had a set process to follow whether it was successful or not.

But the Zheng family knew the Zhou family's attitude, but they were still very concerned about this matter, and someone always came to talk about it.

The more the dowry was distributed, the more dowry was distributed. Knowing the old lady Zhou's thoughts, not only was she not angry, but she also promised that if Miss Zheng really died early, she would send the concubine Zheng Yunniang to Zhou Zhoulang as a continuation.

The distinction between concubine and concubine is not obvious here, only wives and concubines are different. If the Zheng family directly married the concubine, Mrs. Zhou would not dislike it.

But the Zheng family is not stupid. Mrs. Zheng made these concessions just to marry her daughter off.

After all, the daughter was married and took the title of Zhou Zhou Lang's main wife. After she died, the descendants of the Zhou family would have to worship every year, and finally there was still incense.

But if you die at home before getting married, you won't even be able to enter the family tree.

When my own mother dies, who will care whether the Zheng family has had this daughter, I'm afraid her daughter's grave will be leveled in two years.

Mrs. Zheng also had no choice but to make such a bad plan. She had worked so hard for this daughter and had already found several comparable families, but the marriage failed.

If the Zhou family disagrees, Miss Zheng will only have to marry if she wants to marry.

But she is the eldest daughter of this generation, and Mrs. Zheng also has to consider the impact on her other daughters about her marriage.

Besides, the elders in the clan would not agree to her marrying. They would rather let her die at home than marry her.

In order to facilitate this matter, Mrs. Zheng gritted her teeth and spent a lot of money!
He also took Zheng Yunniang to meet the old lady of the Zhou family several times.

At that time, Zheng Yunniang was only 12 years old, but she was young and energetic, well-behaved, and calm. Except for her young age, Mrs. Zhou had no dissatisfaction with her.

Mrs. Zheng and the old lady of the Zhou family both understand that what they are looking at now is only Zheng Yunniang, and Miss Zheng is the Zhou family's request to marry Zheng Yunniang!
For the old lady of the Zhou family, it didn't matter whether Zheng Yunniang was a stepwife or not.

As long as she can become the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family in the end, it will be fine. As for how to explain it to Zheng Yunniang, that is the Zheng family's business.

For Mrs. Zheng, as long as her daughter can enjoy the treatment of a head wife, she doesn’t care about Zheng Yunniang’s future life!
In this transaction, the only one who suffered was probably Zheng Yunniang who was robbed of her title as wife.

The old lady of the Zhou family was satisfied, but she was afraid that the Zheng family would go back on their word.

After writing the marriage letter of the eldest daughter of the Zheng family, I wrote the marriage letter of Zheng Yunniang before giving up.

With the two marriage certificates in hand, the old lady of the Zhou family excitedly went back to prepare for the wedding.

In half a year, Miss Zheng walked through the door.

The old lady of the Zhou family didn't make things difficult for her either. Anyway, Zheng Yunniang's marriage certificate has already been obtained. It doesn't matter if she gets married a year earlier or a year later.
But it didn't take long for the old lady of the Zhou family to realize that she was wrong.

At first she thought he was a sick young man with a good temper!
But he didn't think, this turned out to be a good-looking and very skillful sick man.

The newlyweds have only been in March, and Zhou Zhoulang seems to be a different person.

If you don't run out and cause trouble, you will gradually lose contact with those cronies.

The two played the piano and harp in harmony, like a husband and wife singing together.

Less than a year after the marriage, Mrs. Zheng was pregnant, which made the old lady of the Zhou family very happy.

This is simply a surprise!
Originally, she didn't expect much from Mrs. Zheng, but now that she is in such a situation, she can be said to be in the same mood as picking up money while walking on the road.

She didn't even look forward to Zheng Yunniang who was expecting so much.

If this is to give birth to a grandson, then he is a real legitimate son!
During that time, the old lady of the Zhou family seemed to be in a daze, counting the days for seeking medical treatment and worshiping God every day.

But things don't always go as expected.

Mrs. Zheng gave birth to a daughter instead of a son, and Zhou Zhoulang married her the name Zhou Jiao according to the rules of the clan.

The old lady of the Zhou family was not very happy, and wanted to take good care of Miss Zheng and let her have another one.

But who knows, after Mrs. Zheng gave birth to Zhou Jiao, her health was not good.

Not to mention having a baby, I can't even get out of bed.

After three years of suffering, he finally couldn't survive, and passed away quietly in Zhou Lang's arms one spring afternoon.

Zhou Zhou Lang's love for her was as deep as the sea, and he never forgot, so he gave Zhou Jiao the small characters of Nian Jun.

I kept mourning for Miss Zheng for three years, not to mention wearing white all the year round and being a vegetarian. I also asked my whole family to do the same, and no one in the family was allowed to eat meat!
Zhou Jiao's health was not very good, but in those few years, her health became even worse.

But Zhou Zhoulang does not have this daughter in his heart, he only misses his wife who died early.

Three years later, 20-year-old Zheng Yunniang passed through the door and became the stepmother, Zhou Jiao's stepmother.

She is more dignified than she was eight years ago.

At this time, she has a beautiful appearance and an extraordinary bearing. She has an atmosphere different from that of ordinary women in this era. Although there is less coquettishness between her brows and eyebrows, she is more calm. , will feel good about them.

But this kind of Zheng Yunniang could not win the favor of Zhou Zhoulang.

Zhou Zhoulang didn't treat her well, and it seemed that welcoming her in was just to give everyone an explanation.

He would rather lie in a tavern drunk and dream about death than go home and take a look at Zheng Yunniang.

The old lady of the Zhou family also often complained that Zheng Yunniang was not as good as Mrs. Zheng, because she had such a beautiful face that she couldn't even win her husband's heart.

After a long time, such complaints came to the surface.
