Translator: Henyce Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The Song family’s matter finally ended with such a farce.

The Song family was naturally indignant, but under County Governor Tang’s orders, they could only choose to compromise. Thus, Song Zhou and her daughters escaped the Song family’s coercion.

However, there was also a new problem. Song Zhou and her daughters didn’t have a man at home now, which was equivalent to losing the head of the family!

“Mother, I want to go to the government to set up a female household register.” After Old Madam Guo was buried, the eldest daughter told Song Zhou, who had returned home, the decision she had been thinking about for a long time.

She was the eldest sister. For the sake of her two sisters, she had to toughen up!

Because of Madam s secret help, their family finally escaped the Song family’s entanglement, but they also became homeless.

Madam was a good person and their savior.

However, Madam had already helped them too many times. They couldn’t ask her for help all the time and trouble her just because Madam was kind, right?

Therefore, there were some things that they had to solve themselves.

“But will that work?” Hearing the eldest daughter’s suggestion, Song Zhou was stunned for a moment before saying worriedly, “1 heard that the conditions to establish a female household are extremely harsh.

If you become the head of the family, you will have to stay at home and have your husband marry into the family in rhe future.

You’re still young. Why don’t we consider this when you’re a little older?”

Song Zhou subconsciously wanted to escape again.

In her opinion, the most difficult time had actually passed.

After all, compared to the Zhou family, the Song family was more difficult to deal with. Moreover, the Zhou family had been very concerned about them these past few days. Not only did the sisters-in-law come over personally to help, but they also sent them food a few times.

The four of them had already left the Song family. If they fell apart again, wouldn’t they really have no one to rely on in the future?

“Mother, are you still thinking that you can be as close to Uncle and the others as family? Are you still thinking that they can help us in our future lives?”

With Song Zhou’s hesitation, the oldest daughter understood why she had made this decision.

The reason was that the Zhou family had expressed goodwill to their family these past few days and weakened Song Zhou’s previous determination.

“How can you say that? No matter what, they’re your uncle and aunt. How can you judge elders like that? If word gets out, won’t your reputation be tarnished?”

Song Zhou looked at the eldest daughter reproachfully and instructed, “I have my own plans.

“You’re still young, so don’t worry too much about these things. Take your sisters to rest. I’ll cook dinner for you guys.”

“Mother, have you forgotten the grievances you suffered in the Zhou family in the past? Don’t you remember how the Zhou family treated you?” The oldest daughter reached out and grabbed Song Zhou’S sleeve as she continued persuading her indignantly, “Could it be that just because they sent you some porridge these past two days, you can pretend that everything they did previously didn’t happen?”

“You’re still young and don’t understand. The four of us don’t have the protection of the clan anymore. If we push your uncle and the others away, even if we can establish a family in the future, we ll be alone.

What if something happens in the future? What can we do?

There’s nothing we can do about it!”

At this point, Song Zhou took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears.

Of course, she knew that the Zhou family had selfish motives for coming over this time. However, in comparison, she was more worried about how she, a woman, would raise three girls on her own in the future.

She turned around to avoid her daughters as she walked into the kitchen.

“Mother, you can’t do this!” Seeing that Song Zhou was about to leave, the eldest daughter was so anxious that she couldn’t care less about anything else. She quickly took two steps forward and opened her arms to block Song Zhou again as she said anxiously, “Yes, Uncle and Aunt have been coming over every day for the past few days, but you should understand that all of this is because they think you’re still of use to them!

“If we have nothing now and our assets have been snatched away by the Song family, leaving only the four of us with nothing to rely on, do you really think Uncle and Aunt will still let us join the Zhou family?”

“Yes!” Without waiting for Song Zhou to speak, the second child, who was following behind her sister, sniffled as she said in a soft voice, “When she grows up, sell her!”

“What did you say?” Not to mention Song Zhou, even the oldest daughter was shocked.

Of course, Song Zhou was the most shocked about this, since she didn’t believe that the second child would say this for no reason. She must have heard it somewhere!

As for where she heard it…

Song Zhou didn’t dare to imagine it.

“The older one can get married again. The three younger ones will stay at home and work. When they’re older, we’ll sell them for marriage!” The second child placed one hand on her waist and tapped it as she looked at the pale Song Zhou and said, “Grandma was in the room and told Aunt.”

“Mother, you heard it. The second child won’t lie! You should believe what Grandma and the others are up to now, right?” The oldest daughter helped Song Zhou, who was on the verge of a mental breakdown because she was too shocked by this fact. She also took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire.

“How could that be? She’s your biological grandmother!’’ After Song Zhou was helped to a seat by her oldest daughter, she held her chest in silence for a long time before crying bitterly.

Of course she wouldn’t doubt the second child’s words. The second child was still a child, so she naturally wouldn’t lie to her!

That was her mother. She trusted and relied on her, but in the end, what did she get in return?

She wanted to sell her three daughters in exchange for betrothal gifts for her nephews!

The pillar of support that supported Song Zhou’s trust in the Zhou family finally collapsed.

However, she still needed some time to process it. Seeing that Song Zhou was crying uncontrollably, the oldest daughter and the others couldn’t be bothered to tell her about the matter of establishing the female head of household anymore. The girls tried their best to send Song Zhou back to the bed in the room to lie down and rest. When her breathing had stabilized, the three girls carefully retreated from Song Zhou’s room.

On the way to the kitchen, the oldest daughter couldn’t help but reach out and pull the second child gently as she asked in a low voice, “Did Grandma really say those words?”
