Chapter 342 This Han Zhuo is both treacherous and cunning
Han Zhuo smiled at Du Yueniang and said, "In our family, everyone is treated equally. There is no distinction between the main wife and concubines."
"If you want to rank people based on seniority, that's just private. You can do it based on age or something else."
"But there is no distinction between big and small, high and low."
If the few words Han Zhuo said now were uttered by someone else, Du Yue Niang would probably have rushed out of the door and sneered.
However, looking at Han Zhuo and feeling the warmth he gave her, Du Yueniang's heart softened.
She nodded and finally understood. No wonder Han Zhuo had tortured her and Wei Hongshao to death every night for the past two days.
It turns out that they also wanted to use this intense and exciting method to deepen their emotions, smooth out the differences in their identities, and promote harmony between the two families.
Du Minghai saw that Du Yueniang was under Han Zhuo's control.
He couldn't help but sigh, then asked Han Zhuo, "Yanggu County may appear peaceful on the surface, but internally, things are turbulent."
"What are your plans?"
Han Zhuo didn't say anything, but the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, with a sly smile.
Du Minghai was a little dazed at first, not knowing what Han Zhuo was up to.
But when Han Zhuo's eyes revealed a look, he suddenly reacted!
He immediately shook his head and waved his hands, saying, "No, no!"
"I have already retired and returned to my hometown. I have long distanced myself from the officialdom!"
Han Zhuo smiled and said, "Father-in-law, Yanggu County is now leaderless. All those small fry will jump out and harm the interests of the people, or even their lives."
"Although I can suppress them, I am currently overwhelmed with other matters and cannot stay in Yanggu County for a long time. Therefore, until the new county magistrate takes office, I can only ask my father-in-law to manage Yanggu County on my behalf."
"Please rest assured, father-in-law. I will eventually catch all the snakehead fish and loaches hiding under the water and fry them one by one!"
Du Minghai looked at Han Zhuo for a long moment before he burst into laughter. "Hahahaha, you little brat, not only did you get my precious daughter, but you even want to use me, your father-in-law, as well!"
"In this world, I'm afraid only you, Han Zhuo, can do this!"
Han Zhuo chuckled and said, "Father-in-law, to thank you for your efforts, I have a rare treasure in the world to present to you!"
Hearing Han Zhuo speak so seriously, Du Minghai suddenly became interested.
He hurriedly asked: "What treasure is it? Take it out and show it to me!"
So, Han Zhuo reached out to Li Shuangdao behind him, and Li Shuangdao quickly took out a small object wrapped in oilcloth from his waist.
Han Zhuo opened the small package in front of Du Minghai and Du Yueniang, and inside was a grayish-white powder.
Du Minghai originally thought that this was some special medicinal powder, so he put his nose close to it to smell it carefully.
But Han Zhuo stopped him in time and said, "Father-in-law, this is not for eating."
Du Minghai then asked, "Since this thing isn't meant to be eaten, is it meant to be used?"
Han Zhuo smiled and nodded. He continued, "How about I, your son-in-law, demonstrate it to your father-in-law?"
Han Zhuo said to Li Shuangdao, who was standing beside him, "Go get some sand from the stream behind the house."
Li Shuangdao followed Han Zhuo's instructions and went to the river to get some fine sand.
Then, Han Zhuo mixed the fine sand with the cement powder in his hand and added a little water.
He rubbed it back and forth, and soon a mud ball appeared in his hand.
Han Zhuo deliberately brought the mud ball that had not yet dried to Du Minghai.
He said to Du Minghai: "Father-in-law, feel its hardness first."
Although Du Minghai didn't know what Han Zhuo was going to do, he was curious about it, so he poked it with his finger.
I found that it was just like ordinary mud balls, soft.
Then, Han Zhuo used the burning internal force in his Dantian to quickly wrap the cement ball in his hand, slowly evaporating the water vapor in it.
Han Zhuo then handed the clay balls back to Du Minghai and said, "Father-in-law, try it again."
Du Minghai then reached out his hand again and poked the mud ball first. As a result, he found that the mud ball, which was a little soft just now, suddenly became very hard!
So he took it from Han Zhuo's hand, placed it in his palm and pressed it repeatedly.
Slowly, Du Minghai's expression changed more and more!
Although Du Minghai was the Minister of War, he didn't know much about civil engineering.
However, as the former prime minister of the current dynasty, he understood Han Zhuo's true use almost immediately!
He quickly pulled Han Zhuo to the side and asked, "Erlang, tell me quickly, how is this ash powder made?!"
Han Zhuo chuckled and said, "Father-in-law, everything else is fine, but I really can't tell you this one thing."
"However, if you can take over Yanggu County temporarily, I will turn your father-in-law's manor into a fortress of iron and steel!"
Du Minghai stared at Han Zhuo for a long time, and then couldn't help laughing.
He reached out and pointed at Han Zhuo, saying, "You, you, you little brat! I didn't expect you to be such a cunning thief!"
"The manor will definitely belong to my daughter in the future, and since you are my son-in-law, doesn't that mean it belongs to you?"
"You little bastard, you're still pretending to be so hypocritical, trying to negotiate terms with me. Humph!"
As Du Minghai spoke, he turned his head away with an unhappy look on his face.
Han Zhuo knew, of course, that this old fox was deliberately making a face.
He smiled and said, "Father-in-law is wrong. In fact, Yue Niang has one more thing she has never told you."
"Two days ago, due to some special reasons, my son-in-law and Yue Niang became husband and wife. It was also on that day that my son-in-law found out that Yue Niang had always been a virgin!"
"That Ximen He has never touched her!"
"Besides, my father-in-law only has two daughters. A hundred years from now, there will be no one to inherit this huge family business. So, after discussing with Yue Niang, I decided that if two boys are born, one of them can be adopted by my father-in-law and take your surname Du."
Han Zhuo's words struck Du Minghai's heart almost instantly!
Du Minghai suddenly grabbed Han Zhuo's hand, staring at him intently, and said, "Are you really willing?!"
Han Zhuo smiled and said, "Father-in-law, I'm not bragging, but in my opinion, getting my wife pregnant is just a very common thing."
"Let alone one, even if it's two, that's not a problem!"
Han Zhuo is a modern man after all, so he is willing to adopt the child to his father-in-law and give him his surname.
He has no psychological burden.
Besides, if there are more women, there will be more children.
I’m afraid he won’t be able to count his children on his hands in the future!
Give one or two away, it doesn’t matter if you have the same surname as your father-in-law.
Du Minghai acted as if he had truly obtained something he loved. Without saying anything, he waved his hand and made the decision: "Okay! In that case, I will go to Yanggu County to take charge!"
