Chapter 755: Disaster Victims
Chapter 755 ·Disaster
Zeng Shaoquan glanced at him lightly, "Boyuan is still young, nothing is impossible."
Mrs. Guan was extremely happy and said intimately, "No matter how capable he is, he must have an uncle who is willing to hold him up. I will definitely bring you words and tell him that he knows how to be grateful and repay you, the man in the future."
Zeng Shaoquan lit another cigar, "I don't have children, so I always have to leave more ways for myself. It's good if I see Boyuan. I hope I won't see it, so I won't let me down."
"No!" Mrs. Guan promised repeatedly, "Isn't I still there? I will stare at him and will definitely not let him go the wrong way."
"You?" Zeng Shaoquan shook his head with a smile, "Don't worry about Boyuan. It would be great if you could understand Boyu."
Mrs. Guan said, "I understand. I must keep an eye on Boyu and I won't let him go out and cause trouble again."
"Just remember what you said." Zeng Shaoquan sucked a cigar. "You should also take Mingwei's affairs to heart, and don't turn around and leave them behind. After all, he is the only seed of the Zeng family, and I still expect him to have a lot of branches and leaves for the Zeng family as soon as possible. Otherwise, in a few generations, our Zeng family will be completely gone."
Mrs. Guan agreed, "Don't worry, I am Mingwei's dear aunt, can I still harm him?"
The brother and sister were talking in their hearts, but no one noticed Mrs. Zeng, who was not far away, didn't leave. She heard the two clearly. Seeing that Mrs. Guan still looked down on her so much, she almost bit her back teeth. But she also knew that she rushed out to confront her at this time, and she would not even be able to take advantage of her, but she would point her nose and scold her.
Mrs. Zeng was secretly patient, but she held a grudge against Mrs. Guan in her heart, waiting for a chance to take revenge in the future.
Mrs. Guan stayed in Nanjing for another day before she returned to Shanghai on a boat.
As soon as she left, government office staff came to Zeng Shaoquan for advice. The floods in Fuzhe and Zhejiang were severe, and Nanjing was reluctant to allocate funds to rescue disasters. As the weather was about to enter the summer heat, the people in both places would probably suffer if this continued.
Zeng Shaoquan said with a embarrassed look, "I also want to allocate funds. I want this to ask for money from me, and that to ask for money from me. What can I do? Two days ago, Lao Huang even asked me for military pay, and I was so worried that I couldn't even eat."
Lao Huang was the commander-in-chief of the Sichuan Army. He used to be a bandit leader. Later, he changed his identity after taking Minglu, but his nature has not changed. He always scolded me whenever he met. Zeng Shaoquan could not get much benefit from him.
Government officials knew it was not easy to say it, so they had to retreat.
After the flood in Hangzhou City, even though Sanjiang Chamber of Commerce presided over the aftermath, the ability to whip was limited after all, and the surrounding towns still suffered serious losses. Many victims flocked to Hangzhou City. The streets were covered with ragged beggars. Some people were so hungry that they started to snatch food. Many people even formed a gang, as if there was a possibility of civil unrest.
Zhang Zili came home and said to Mrs. Tang and her father-in-law, "The security team is just a decoration. It is impossible to expect them to do something. I think the family should be wary of it. In recent days, if there is nothing to do, everyone should not go out. The back door is blocked, and everyone will go to the main door if they have anything to do, and they will also arrange for people to patrol around to avoid thieves climbing over the wall and entering."

Zhang Zili sat down for a moment and stood up to say goodbye. The Tang family also started to work hard. Tang Songzhou took Tang Xuehua and Wu Jie to the tea shop, and the house was busy cleaning the room. When it was dark, the Tang family began to nail the back door, and bamboo poles were placed at the bases of several walls. Once they saw someone going to climb over the wall, they could use bamboo poles to knock them out.
Lady Tang was worried about the situation of the house and asked Ashun to inform Tang Xueli so that she could be prepared.
Tang Xueli immediately started to make arrangements after hearing the news. The house was nailed tightly that night, and only a small door at the main door was still open.
Tang Chongzhou heard about it, and lay on the bed and said weakly, "As for it? What a big deal..."
The servant who was serving him turned around and curled his lips, feeling that his mind was getting worse and worse.
