“No.” The second child gave her sister a sly smile. “It’s because you said that you wanted to let our mother know that our uncles are all bad people!
1 repeated what my grandmother had said to my cousin at home to our mother.
Did I do a good imitation?”
“Yes! However, don’t mention this to our mom in the future.” The eldest daughter looked at her second sister, who was quite smug about her performance just now, and instructed, “If she gets anxious and asks Grandma, won’t you be exposed?”
“What’s wrong with that? Although Grandma didn’t say anything about us, think about it. If she can even sell my cousin and the others, wouldn’t she be even more ruthless towards us?”
The second child pursed her lips and didn’t take the eldest daughter’s warning to heart.
She was young, so every time she followed her mother back to the Zhou family, the Zhou family rarely paid attention to her. This allowed her to eavesdrop on and understand some things about the Zhou family.
She had seen with her own eyes how her grandmother and a few aunts treated her cousins in the Zhou family.
Although she didn’t think that far ahead, she knew what would happen to them if they really lost everything and followed their mother to the Zhou family’s house.
Aunt and the others could even hit and scold their biological cousins, so how would they treat them…
They would probably be worse off than pigs or dogs!
Therefore, when the eldest daughter secretly instructed them to think of a way to let their mother know about the Zhou family’s evil deeds and make her give up on the Zhou family completely, she agreed.
In short, the Zhou family was a tiger’s den!
They couldn’t let their mother rely on the Zhou family anymore! They had to establish their own family. Only then would they have a way to protect their remaining assets. At the very least, they wouldn’t have to rely on others in the future.
“Sister, do you think our mother has really given up this time?” The second child asked the eldest daughter expectantly as she thought about Song Zhou’s reaction just now.
“I’m afraid not.” After entering the kitchen, the oldest daughter brought a short stool over and skillfully climbed up to stand in front of the stove to scoop water for the pot. At the same time, she didn’t forget to signal the second child to add wood to the stove.
She sighed pessimistically. “You know our mother’s temper. It’s not that she doesn’t dote on us, but she’s too meek.
She keeps feeling that we’re all women, so we can’t survive on our own and have to have someone to rely on.
If she doesn’t change her mind, it’s still too early for her to completely break off ties with the Zhou family!”
As the oldest daughter cooked porridge, she asked the third child to check on Song Zhou’s condition. Then, she pulled the second child over and said, “I’m thinking that we should go to the medical center to work tomorrow.
As for the third child, she can stay at home and accompany our mother for a few days. If anything happens, she can run over and inform us.”
“Yes.” The second child nodded and didn’t forget to remind her, “Sister, take the time to go to Granny Luo’s house later and ask her to help keep an eye on our family.”
“Those people from the Zhou family are very wicked. You can’t even imagine how wicked they are!”
“Yes, come with me later,” the oldest daughter replied. She didn’t refuse the second child’s suggestion.
At dinner that night, the eldest daughter, the second child, and the others didn’t mention the matter of establishing a female head of household to Song Zhou again. The eldest daughter only whispered to Song Zhou that she and the second child planned to go to the medical center to work tomorrow.
The eldest daughter picked up a piece of pickled vegetables from the third child’s porridge bowl and then added, “We’ll go over and work first. Let the third child stay at home with you for the time being. We’ll talk about things after this period.”
“I’m fine. You two don’t have to worry about me.
“You guys should bring the third child over to work tomorrow. I’m afraid she won’t be able to stay idle if you guys leave her alone.” Song Zhou thought of Lin Suisui’s care and concern for them and how the eldest daughter and the others received their wages even though they hadn’t gone to work in the past few days. She felt grateful and ashamed.
She patted the third child’s little head before continuing to say to the eldest daughter, “I still want to think about the matter of the female head of household you mentioned to me previously.
Don’t worry, I’m not so muddle-headed that 1 can’t tell right from wrong.
If your uncle and aunt really want to harm you and your sisters, I won’t let them succeed even if I have to risk my life!”
After some thought, the oldest daughter didn’t go against Song Zhou’s decision.
However, at night, while Song Zhou was busy cleaning up in the kitchen, they went next door to ask Mrs. Luo for help.
However, none of them expected that this last-minute change would allow the third child to escape a calamity!
The next morning, the eldest daughter and the others went to the medical center to help as usual.
Song Zhou wasn’t a person who liked to wander around. At most, she would go to Mrs. Luo’s food shop to help talk. Most of the time, she stayed at home and did needlework.
She had been like this previously and now that it was Old Madam Guo’s mourning period, she didn’t go out at all. However, in the morning, she stood at the door and greeted Mrs. Luo, who was busy next door, before returning to the courtyard.
The Zhou family came after lunch.
Seeing that this group of people was quite calm and didn’t have any conflict with Song Zhou, who came to open the door, Mrs. Luo didn’t think too much about it.
The business at her food shop was quite good today and the endless stream of customers made it difficult for her to take care of them all, so she didn’t have spare energy to pay attention to the commotion next door.
It wasn’t until Mrs. Luo finished her work in the shop and came out to send off the last wave of customers that she realized that the Song family’s courtyard door, which had been closed previously, was completely open.
Mrs. Luo stopped and frowned as she looked over. She felt that something was wrong, so she turned around and walked over to see what was going on.
However, she broke out in a cold sweat after she went over.
The entire courtyard, from the room to the courtyard, was ransacked! If Song Zhou was fine, with her meticulousness, she definitely wouldn’t just watch as her courtyard was ransacked to such a state!
Of course, what alarmed Mrs. Luo was that she had searched the Song family from the inside out, but she still didn’t see any traces of Song Zhou!
Only then did Mrs. Luo finally confirm that something had happened to Song Zhou!
The culprit behind this chaos was the Zhou family who had come in the afternoon!
