“Alright, as long as you’ve arranged things.” This was more or less the Song family’s private matter.
Therefore, Mrs. Luo didn’t ask too much. Seeing that Song Zhou answered firmly, she nodded and relaxed.
Seeing that Mrs. Luo didn’t continue to pursue Song Jianxing’s whereabouts, Song Zhou heaved a sigh of relief.
She actually didn’t lie to Mrs. Luo just now. She had indeed found the best place to settle Song Jianxing.
She didn’t think of finding another place to bury Song Jianxing’s ashes, which she had just retrieved from the government. Instead, she placed his ashes in Old Madam Guo’s coffin.
Previously, her mother-in-law cared about and doted on Song Jianxing, her only son.
Therefore, even if Madam Sun lost her life at his son’s hands in the end, based on how much Madam Sun doted on Song Jianxing previously, she probably wouldn’t mind her son’s mistakes and would be willing to be buried together.
“I’ll have to trouble you to send us food. I’ll get the oldest daughter to get the money and send it to you later.”
Thinking of the food Mrs. Luo had sent them overnight, Song Zhou couldn’t help but thank her gratefully.
Seeing that Song Zhou was so polite but not that happy, Mrs. Luo glanced at her reproachfully and said, “It’s just a bowl of noodles. Why are you so polite?
They were all neighbors and saw each other often, so when something happened, it was only right for them to help each other.
There’s no need to be so polite!”
After she took the bowl and chopsticks that had been filled with bamboo baskets from the eldest daughter, Mrs. Luo rubbed the top of the eldest daughter’s head affectionately before turning to leave.
However, to Mrs. Luo’s surprise, not long after she left the house, she realized that the oldest daughter, who had been accompanying Song Zhou, was following behind her quietly.
“What’s wrong? What’s the matter?” Mrs. Luo waited for a while, but when she saw that the eldest daughter still refused to let go of her, she stopped and turned to ask the eldest daughter in confusion.
“Aunt, I want to see Madam.” The eldest daughter stood in front of Mrs. Luo and lowered her head as she gripped the corner of her shirt tightly. After hesitating for a long time, she looked up at Mrs. Luo carefully as she asked, “Can you help me?”
“Didn’t your mother just bring you to the medical center today to thank Madam?” Upon hearing the eldest daughter’s request, Mrs. Luo was even more puzzled.
She remembered that when Song Zhou returned from the government office during the day, she immediately brought the three children to the medical center to thank Madam Liu.
Why was the eldest daughter asking to see her again not long after she returned?
“Aunt, I’ve thought about it. 1 still have to ask Madam for help with my family’s matters. Otherwise, my mother definitely won’t be able to handle it alone.”
The eldest daughter raised her head slightly to look at Mrs. Luo and told Mrs. Luo everything that had happened when the Zhou family came during the day. Then, she frowned as she said with a worried expression, “My mother really wants to protect us and this family this time.
However, be it the Zhou family or the Song family, they wouldn’t let us off easily.
After all, you also know that my father committed a serious crime.
With this excuse, the Song family will be able to control our family!”
The eldest daughter raised her hand to wipe her tears and sniffled before continuing, “My mother is naive. She only thinks that as long as she doesn’t lower her head, the Song family and the Zhou family won’t be able to do anything to her.
But you know that this is just my mother’s wishful thinking!
If those people really target our shop and house, no matter how my mother resists, she won’t be able to do anything.”
“You’re right, but in your current situation, if you go to Madam Liu, she won’t be able to interfere in your family matters either!”
Mrs. Luo sighed. From the eldest daughter’s words, she could tell that Song Zhou and the others were in a predicament.
She naturally felt some sympathy for this family of orphans and widow.
However, although they sympathized with her, this was her family’s matter.
As an outsider, even if she couldn’t stand it anymore, she couldn’t interfere too much! Madam Liu would do the same.
Moreover, if Madam Liu were to interfere in this matter, things would get ugly! Those people might even complain in private that she was using her power to suppress others and interfere in other people’s family matters!
“I’ve thought about it. If this shop is in our hands, the possibility of keeping it is almost zero.”
It wasn’t that the eldest daughter couldn’t see the hesitation on Mrs. Luo’s face, but she still whispered her thoughts to Mrs. Luo.
“Perhaps the Song family’s greed can be temporarily warded off by my mother’s insistence.
But what about the Zhou family?
After all, they’re my mother’s parents and brothers. 1 can’t really let my mother cut ties with them from now on, right? Even if word gets out, things will be even worse!
In that case, her mother might as well bear the pressure for a day or two.
But what about the future?
“You also know that my mother has a meek personality, so if my grandmother came to look for my mother every day to complain about how difficult life was, how could my mother ignore my grandmother?
Perhaps what they needed in the beginning wasn’t the shop, but some spare money she could take out.
But as time passes, who knows how greedy they will become?”
At this point, the eldest daughter paused for a moment. When she looked up and saw that Mrs. Luo was listening intently, only then did she relax a little and continue to tell Mrs. Luo her plan.
“Therefore, rather than leaving this shop for those wolves, tigers, and leopards to snatch, it’s better to offer it to Madam!
1 heard from others that small fries like us, who have no one to rely on, can sell ourselves and our assets to rely on noble people like Madam.
I’m willing to be Madam’s slave. 1 just want to be protected by her so that my mother and two sisters can live peacefully.”
“Have you discussed this with your mother?” Mrs. Luo didn’t expect the eldest daughter to say this.
However, she was still a child, so she had to discuss such an important matter with Song Zhou.
“I-I haven’t discussed it with my mother yet.” The eldest daughter pursed her lips and lowered her head guiltily. However, soon, her gaze became firm again and she looked up at Mrs. Luo very seriously as she said, “I’ve never hated myself so much.
Why aren’t I a man?
If I were a boy, my mother wouldn’t have to suffer like this for the rest of her life!”
