Chapter 13 The Zhou Family's Calculation
"Little sister, I don't like what you said. What do you mean by being heartless? Now that your only nephew has become like this, you are not sad at all and you keep thinking about the truth of the matter.
The truth is that Su Yue, that bitch, must have caused all of this. I don't care. My son is now disabled and can't get a wife. Su Yue must take the responsibility. "Mrs. Zhou wiped away her tears and yelled at Zhou Ruoxue.
Zhou Ruoxue was not used to this confused sister-in-law. She slammed the table and shouted, "Do you think I'm a fool? I have seen Su Yue since she was a child. How could she have the ability to ruin Zhuo'er?
The reason why the eldest sister-in-law wanted to kill Su Yue was simply because she wanted to get the ten-mile dowry from her biological mother.
I can think of such things, and my master and mistress can think of them even more. Anyone with a discerning eye can see it.
I'll be frank with you guys, if you really want to take Su Yue's dowry, then you'd better give up on this idea."
Zhou Ruoxue said this not to defend Su Yue, but because she also wanted to get Su Yue's generous dowry and leave it to her children.
Madam Zhou was so angry at Zhou Ruoxue's words that she trembled all over, "Zhou Ruoxue, don't look down on me, when did we ever think of taking Su Yue's dowry.
It will be very difficult for Zhuo'er to find a wife in the future as he is in this state. I think Su Yue has a weak personality and is easy to handle, so it is most suitable for her to marry Zhuo'er.
Besides, the lotus pond where Zhuo Er fell was not far from the room where Su Yue was, so it must have made some noise. I don’t believe that Su Yue didn’t know about it. If she knew about it and didn’t save him, she would also be an accomplice!”
Zhou Ruotai's eyes turned and his tone softened, "Little sister, your sister-in-law is a little impulsive, so don't bother with her, but what your sister-in-law said is not unreasonable.
At this point, in addition to investigating who did it, we also have to think about Zhuo'er's future life. As his aunt, can you bear to see him alone and helpless in his next life?"
Zhou Ruoxue looked at Zhou Zhuo who was lying on the bed and sleeping after taking a sedative, and the anger on her face eased a little.
She sighed deeply: "Alas, if I didn't love Zhuo'er, I wouldn't have spent a lot of money to shut the doctor's mouth and told him not to tell anyone about Zhuo'er's injury."
Zhou Ruotai nodded and said, "I know you love Zhuo'er, but you have to find a way to deal with Zhuo'er's second half of life. If you marry someone else and it's discovered that you can't have children, the girl's family will definitely make a fuss.
But Su Yue is different. Her mother is Zhou’s biological sister. Even if it is discovered in the future, we can suppress it.
Besides, Su Yue is a soft-hearted person, and she wouldn't dare to speak out even if she knew the truth. As for Su Yue's dowry, I also know that you want to leave some for your child.
But little sister, if Su Yue marries someone else, how much can you keep? At that time, Su Yue's mother had a grand wedding, and the scene was extremely beautiful. I'm sure many people still remember the scene at that time.
So you can't do too much. I promise you that if you let Su Yue marry into our Zhou family, our two families will split the property 50-50. What do you think?"
When Mrs. Zhou heard that the dowry, which was originally worth ten miles, was reduced to five miles, she felt so sad that she even blamed Zhou Ruotai for not being a good head of the household and not knowing how expensive daily necessities are.
Zhou Ruotai's official position did not rise all the way like others, but went down all the way. In addition, due to poor management in recent years, the profit of the shop was not much.
Although the entire Zhou family appears to be glamorous on the surface, they don't even have 200 taels of spare cash in private, so they were eager to set their sights on Su Yue, but they didn't expect to end up losing more than they gained.
Madam Zhou glanced at Zhou Ruotai and said bluntly, "Master, you are really something. My younger sister lives such a comfortable life, how could she want Su Yue's dowry.
Little sister, I'm not complaining to you about being poor. Although you are married and have children, you are still a girl from our Zhou family after all.
You can't just watch the Zhou family go from bad to worse. To be honest, we can barely afford to pay our servants their monthly wages."
Zhou Ruotai's face turned red, and he angrily shouted at Madam Zhou, "Shut up! Why are you talking to my younger sister about this?"
Zhou Ruoxue was shocked. They could barely pay the servants' monthly wages. How tight must they be?
"Why are you so short of money? Don't we still have the income from the shop?"
Zhou Ruotai sighed and stopped talking...
But Mrs. Zhou didn't mind at all. She quickly walked over and sat down next to Zhou Ruoxue, then began to pour out her grievances.
"When you got married, you didn't want to lose to Su Yue's mother, so you insisted on asking your family to give you more dowry, so mother gave you all her dowry.
Without the support of mother's dowry, and with father forced to resign by the late emperor, our house can only be maintained by your brother's salary and my dowry.
Although the family was originally living in poverty, they were still able to maintain their outward prosperity. However, since the master was demoted several levels, and the shop's profits were not good.
Life is getting more and more difficult. I'm not afraid of you laughing at me when I tell you this, but the mansion hasn't made new clothes for the servants for a year.
I thought that as long as I gritted my teeth and held on, I could get through it, but now Zhuo'er has become like this again. Little sister, tell me, what sin has our Zhou family committed?"
Zhou Ruoxue felt mixed emotions after hearing what Madam Zhou said, "Sister-in-law, don't cry. I didn't expect the situation at home to be so bad.
When you leave later, I will give you three thousand taels to use as cash. Don't worry, Zhuo'er is here. I will use good medicine to take care of him.
When he can move, I will have someone send him back to Zhou Mansion. As for the matter of Su Yue, I still need to think about it.
Although she is indeed not favored, she is the eldest daughter of the Su family after all, and her marriage cannot be decided so easily."
After hearing what Zhou Ruoxue said, Mrs. Zhou and Zhou Ruotai were immediately surprised.
Mrs. Zhou said quickly, "Little sister, thank you so much. These three thousand taels really solve our urgent needs."
Zhou Ruoxue waved her hand and said, "You guys take care of Zhuo'er first, I still have to go see how Yao'er is doing.
I will have someone send the three thousand taels to you later. Also, if you want Su Yue to marry into the Zhou family, remember to hold Su Yue tightly and don’t let go.”
Mrs. Zhou and Zhou Ruotai nodded in agreement, and Mrs. Zhou immediately expressed her thoughts.
"Little sister, I don't think your old lady and master will agree. After all, your eldest brother's official position is several levels lower than your master. Master, you don't need to glare at me. I am telling the truth."
"So what tricks do you have?" Zhou Ruotai asked unhappily.
Mrs. Zhou's eyes were full of hatred and resentment. "What women fear most is the slightest stain on their reputation. If we let it be known that Su Yue and Zhuo Er are having an affair, then Su Yue's reputation will be ruined and she will have to marry even if she doesn't want to."
"No, this will affect Yao'er's reputation." Zhou Ruoxue didn't feel sorry for Su Yue. This incident happened at Su Yao's coming-of-age ceremony, and she didn't want Su Yao to be implicated.
Zhou Ruotai immediately responded, "My little sister is right. Rumors can happen, but they don't have to be today. The two must have been together for a while before they could have a private relationship."
