Chapter 493: Settled

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Song Zhou had used up almost all the courage she had accumulated in her lifetime. She gritted her teeth and stood in the middle of the mourning hall as she faced a few vicious-looking elders from the Song clan who had ulterior motives. No matter what, she refused to adopt that boy.

She was not stupid. She naturally knew why these people had appeared in her house today.

Once this boy stayed at their house, it would be difficult for her to chase him out after that!

The Song family’s elders didn’t expect Song Zhou’s unyielding attitude.

After all, if there was anything that needed the clansmen’s help in the past, Song Zhou, who was usually accompanied by her mother-in-law, Old Madam Guo, had always been gentle and timid.

She wouldn’t even dare to look up, let alone say a word or two.

Therefore, they didn’t take Song Zhou and her daughters seriously at first. They only wanted to bring this child over to threaten Song Zhou. Then, this matter would be settled!

However, this time, their plans fell through.

Song Zhou’s firm attitude completely exceeded their expectations.

As a result, they had been here for so long and used the carrot and stick approach, but it was useless. Song Zhou refused to compromise.

For a moment, the situation fell into a stalemate.

These elders didn’t dare to act out in public, but in the Song family, they had always been domineering.

Now, a woman like Song Zhou, who they usually didn’t take seriously, was disobeying them. How could they tolerate this?

1 can’t let my sister’s mother-in-law have a grandson out of nowhere, right?”

Yuan Niang covered her mouth with her handkerchief and couldn’t help but laugh. She looked at the elders with mockery in her eyes. “In my opinion, the Song family is really smart!

“This is the only shop my sister and her daughters have left to survive on, but in order to snatch their money, you’re willing to disregard the reputation of your entire family!”

Yuan Niang’s words hit the nail on the head, so the surrounding crowd immediately agreed.

It was not that the onlookers wanted to interfere, but the Song family’s behavior was too outrageous!

Putting themselves in her shoes, if such a thing happened to their families, no one would be able to accept it!

Seeing that they could no longer obtain any benefits, the elders of the Song family decided to slip away first. They would come back after discussing it!

However, it was easy to come, but it was difficult to leave now.

After Constable Wang received County Governor Tang’s instructions, he led his buddies towards the crowd with a dark expression. Without a word, he waved at the Song family elders, who were still in a daze. “Take them all away!”

“Hey, what right do you guys have to arrest them?!”

“That’s right. What law did we break? Why are you arresting us?”

The elders only realized that something was wrong when they were chained up. Then, they immediately began to struggle violently.

Constable Wang didn’t indulge them. In the face of these old men’s resistance and accusations, he only snorted coldly and scolded, “You guys didn’t break the law?

You guys bullied others in the name of the clan and tried to snatch their family assets! You guys are acting so shameless for the sake of money, yet you still dare to say that you’re innocent?

There are so many people watching in broad daylight. You can’t deny it!

“Brothers, stop dawdling! According to the county governor’s instructions, bring all of them back!”
