Song Zhou didn’t expect Princess Ning Fu to suddenly ask her this question.
However, she had never thought about this question before, so for a moment, she really didn’t know how to answer.
She frowned and hesitated for a long time before stammering, “I’m in the Song family’s home now. No matter what, my parents can’t come to the Song family’s home to interfere in my decision, right?”
Although she said that, Song Zhou was actually not very confident.
She thought about what her parents, brothers, and sisters had done in the past. According to their usual way of doing things, they might really...
“But I heard that in order to expand the shop, your husband borrowed a large sum of money from your father and brother.
If your father and brothers use this money to threaten you and force you to submit, what will you do?” Obviously, Princess Ning Fu could also see the guilt in Song Zhou’s eyes and she smiled as she revealed her sore spot. “Can you really hold on?”
“Previously, in order to operate the shop, 1 borrowed a lot of money from my father and brother. Can’t I just pay it back according to the agreement?” Song Zhou thought about it carefully before saying, “It’s said that even brothers have to settle accounts clearly. As long as we return this money, no matter what, it’s impossible for my father and brother to interfere in the Song family’s matters, right?”
“You really think things are that simple and easy?!” Princess Ning Fu couldn’t help but laugh at what Song Zhou said as she looked at Song Zhou quietly. From her answer, Song Zhou didn’t seem to realize the seriousness of the problem at all.
“If your father and brother really have designs on your dry goods shop and want to occupy it, what can you do? At that time, your parents will come to you crying about how difficult life is now and ask you to think of a way to help them. Will you be ruthless enough to chase them out?
This time, if not for my daughters protecting me and you helping me seek justice in time, 1 might have been beheaded long ago.”
As Song Zhou spoke, she stood up and bowed to Lin Suisui and Princess Ning Fu respectfully. Then, she continued with a bitter smile, “Actually, 1 also know that my family is unreliable.
My maiden family’s home isn’t far from my in-laws’ family. With such a big incident today, someone had already received the news and sent a letter over. However, my family didn’t show up.
They were probably afraid that the Song family’s matter would have unexpected turn of events and if they were involved, they would be implicated.
The Song family actually wasn’t rich. The only thing worth coveting now was the house and the dry goods shop!
All of this belongs to the four of us. Therefore, for the sake of my three children, no matter what happens in the future, even if I have to risk my life, I definitely won’t compromise!”
Because once they compromised, they would be doomed!
Song Zhou gritted her teeth. Even if she didn’t think for herself, she had to think for the three children’s sake. She couldn’t let her daughters have nothing to rely on in the future!
“After the matters at home are settled, let’s get them to help in the medical center.” Lin Suisui glanced at the three little girls sitting there and suggested to Song Zhou, “Doctor Luo even mentioned to me yesterday that the second child is very talented in identifying herbs. If she’s willing, she can come to the medical center to learn from the other children.”
“Really?” The second child, who was eating bread, immediately became interested when she heard Lin Suisui’s words. She suddenly looked up at Lin Suisui in disbelief and anticipation. Her eyes were sparkling as she asked, “Can 1 really learn how to differentiate herbs from Doctor Luo?”
“Of course.” Lin Suisui nodded as she replied to the second child’s disbelief with certainty. Then, she turned to look at the eldest daughter, who was sitting beside the second child and taking care of her sisters. “As for the eldest daughter, Yuan Niang still lacks an assistant, so if you’re willing, you can learn from her how to receive patients in the medical center.”
“Of course I’m willing!” The eldest daughter’s eyes lit up as Lin Suisui spoke, but her reaction was clearly faster than the second child’s. She hurriedly reached out and pulled the second child up, then bowed to Lin Suisui respectfully and thanked her. “Don’t worry, Madam. We’ll definitely work hard and won’t let you down..”
