“As for regretting being a woman, that’s even more ridiculous.”

Seeing that the oldest daughter was listening to her seriously, Yuan Niang decided to use this opportunity to persuade her.

After all, according to Lin Suisui’s previous instructions, this little girl would become her disciple in the future. As her mentor, she should treat this as her first lesson.

“Don’t you like Madam very much?”

Yuan Niang pulled the eldest daughter to the table at the side. Then, she continued, “Madam is also a woman, but she has good medical skills. Even many male doctors in Cloud Mountain City aren’t as capable as her.

But she was a woman!

Women don’t have things as easy as men in many aspects. Many times, we are even ostracized and criticized, but that’s not our fault!

Let’s talk about your family.

How much has your father truly interfered in your family’s matters?

The work at home depended on your mother and most of the business in the shop was decided by your grandmother.

“Think about it. If your family doesn’t have your father, will you really be unable to survive anymore?”

“No.” The eldest daughter thought about it seriously before replying to Yuan Niang with certainty, “My mother can do embroidery to earn money. My sisters and 1 can also help my mother. We can do many things.

Actually, ever since Third Sister was born, neither our father nor our grandmother had given our mother any money.

Our allowance was also earned by our mother.”

At first, the eldest daughter was a little hesitant, but as she realized the truth, a smile gradually appeared on her face.

In the past, when things were so difficult, her mother and her sisters survived nonetheless!

The worst outcome would be that their family lost their shop and house in the future. However, they had hands and feet. Could their lives be worse than before?

“That’s right, so your lives will only get better and better.” Yuan Niang was very satisfied with the eldest daughter’s change in attitude. She told Mrs. Luo, who was also smiling. “1 know you’re busy today, so 1 won’t keep you guys.”

“Yes, we’ve been out for awhile. I have to bring the oldest daughter back quickly.”

Mrs. Luo nodded repeatedly and didn’t delay any longer. After she stood up with the eldest daughter, she bid farewell to Yuan Niang.

After sending Mrs. Luo and the oldest daughter off. Yuan Niang was still a little worried.

She thought for a moment before walking downstairs* She went to inform the shopkeeper first before going out to call for a carriage and rushing towards Lin

Suisui.

Lin Suisui was a little surprised to hear Yuan Niang’s report.

It seemed that she had overestimated those people.

Lt wasn’t that she hadn’t thought of rhe trouble Song Zhou and her daughter would encounter previously, but on second thought, Old Madam Guo’s funeral wasn’t over yer. Those people couldn’t possibly be that impatient, right?

However, reality proved that they couldn’t wait at all!

Before Old Madam Guo could rest in peace, they already wanted to seize her family assets.

“Since we have nothing else to do now, why don’t we go to Mrs. Luo s place?”

Lin Suisui thought about it for a moment before looking up at Yuan Niang with a smile and suggesting, “I’ve prepared some herbs for Sister-in-law to stabilize the pregnancy. I ll send them to her when I go over this time.”

“That’s good! It s been a while since I went to Mrs. Luo’s place to eat the steamed fish she cooked. I’ll go over for a meal today!”

When Yuan Niang heard Lin Suisui’s suggestion, she quickly packed up and got into the carriage to rush to Mrs. Luo s snack shop.

As soon as the carriage circled into the alley, Lin Suisui and the others heard shouts and commotion not far ahead.

Looking at the crowd gathered in twos and threes, Su Le only paused for a moment before instructing the coachman to change the way and go straight to the back door of Mrs. Luo’s courtyard.

When Mrs. Luo, who had received the news, rushed in from the front yard, Lin Suisui and Yuan Niang had already gotten out of the carriage and walked into the backyard.

Seeing them, Mrs. Luo heaved a sigh of relief. “You’re finally here. The Song family has been causing trouble for the entire morning!”

The cause of the matter was very simple—adoption.

Not long after Mrs. Luo and the others returned, the Song clansmen came to visit. A few elders brought a three-year-old boy in mourning clothes and asked him to guard Old Madam Guo’s wake as her grandson.

They were just short of snatching it. Why would they ask Song Zhou’s permission?

Song Zhou naturally disagreed with the Song family’s actions.

However, the group of elders was quite unyielding and even blamed Song Zhou.

They blamed her for not giving birth to a son for Song Jianxing. That was why Song Jianxing had no choice but to do such a heartless thing.

In their opinion, Song Zhou should apologize now to comfort Old Madam Guo.

Such an unreasonable decision was strongly refuted by Song Zhou. Of course, there were also neighbors who came over to help. At this moment, the mourning hall was in chaos.

“Hasn’t Song Jianxing been removed from the Song family?”

Lin Suisui turned to look at the noisy room opposite her and said disdainfully, “They’re really shameless.”

After she took the teacup from Bai Guo, she didn’t forget to instruct her to go out and inform Su Le to send someone to invite the county governor over.

Previously, when she was treating outsiders with her mentor, she had seen such shameless methods. She really hated this sort of thing.

Ever since the imperial court established its own imperial court, women could become head of households.

However, after so many years, there were still many people in the private sector who bullied people like this! n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

It was really despicable!

After Yuan Niang listened for a while, she couldn’t help but turn to look at Lin Suisui and suggest in a low voice, “I’ll go over and take a look.”

“Yes, be careful.” Lin Suisui nodded but didn’t stop Yuan Niang. When she walked out, she added, “Wait, let Yin Qiao go with you.”

When Yin Qiao heard Lin Suisui’s instructions, he quickly followed Yuan Niang without hesitation and the two of them rushed in the direction of the Song family’s home, which was next door..
