Chapter 497: Ask for Her
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The people that worked in the casino were unreasonable.
They rushed into the courtyard and smashed it to show their might. Then, they surrounded the Zhou family, who were completely frightened, and forced them to return the money.
If they didn’t return the money, they would chop off their hands and feet!
They even wanted to take their courtyard and sell the Zhou family’s children to repay their debt!
Although the Zhou family was used to being unreasonable, when facing these guards who even had a few lives on their hands, they were like little rabbits surrounded by wolves. They had no way to resist at all.
In order to repay the money, the Zhou family could only grit their teeth and gather the money.
However, even if the entire family took out all their savings, it was still far from enough.
Sr. Zhou was definitely unwilling to touch the shop and house. If they used these to pay off their debts, their family would have to starve.
With no other choice, Sr. Zhou thought of Song Zhou’s family.
Even if they couldn’t obtain the Song family’s shop now, the Song family still owed them money previously. The 1OU said in black and white that the Song family had to repay them a hundred taels with interest.
Although there was still half a year before the final repayment date, the situation gave them no other choice!
Song Zhou was his daughter, and now that the Song family’s money was in her hands, wasn’t it only right for her to return this sum of money to help the family survive this crisis?
If these 100 taels of silver were included, there wouldn’t be much left.
Sr. Zhou thought that if he asked Song Zhou to add some money, they would be able to survive this crisis!
Sr. Zhou didn’t expect Song Zhou to refuse to cooperate at all.
When Mr. Zhou brought Old Madam Wan and a few daughters-in-law to look for Song Zhou and asked her to return the money, Song Zhou said that she would return the money when she saw the 1OU.
However, when Old Madam Wan asked Song Zhou to make up for the remaining losses, Song Zhou rejected her.
No matter how Old Madam Wan cried and even threatened suicide, Song Zhou was unmoved and was unwilling to fork out anything.
Song Zhou had a good reason.
It was only right for her to pay money every year to be filial to her parents, but to let her, a married woman, pay off the gambling debt of her family’s good-for-nothing gambling brothers…
That was impossible!
Sr. Zhou was furious, but the threat to his daughter in the past was no longer useful now. Just as Sr. Zhou was about to ask his daughters-in-law to capture Song Zhou and teach her a lesson, the sons who had been detained by the casino rushed in from outside.
Without waiting for Song Zhou to react, they joined a group of people behind them to gag and tie up Song Zhou’s hands. Then, they ignored her struggles and dragged her out.
Sr. Zhou was also shocked by this sudden change.
He didn’t expect his sons to do such a thing. However, after hearing his son’s explanation that as long as they followed the instructions of the noble lady they saw in the casino and captured Song Zhou, then the gambling debt they owed would be written off, Mr. Zhou didn’t hesitate at all.
Not only did he ignore his daughter, who was crying for help, but he also helped his three sons send the struggling Song Zhou to the door and stuffed her into the carriage parked outside.
Old Madam Wan cried along the way, but it was only out of sadness.
She didn’t save her daughter. Instead, she cried and complained about her life along the way, in hopes that Song Zhou would be more understanding and sacrifice herself to save her three brothers’ lives.
When Lin Suisui rushed over with the eldest daughter and the others, the Zhou family was still arguing at home.
Although the casino’s debt had been cleared, Sr. Zhou was still brooding over what his sons had done. As soon as he returned home, he called his three sons into his room and reprimanded them.
However, before he could finish speaking, he heard a deafening bang in the courtyard outside.
The Zhou family, who were talking in the room, were shocked. After they went out together, they saw that the door of their courtyard had been kicked open from the outside.
“Where’s our mother? Return her to us!”
The eldest daughter was the first to rush into the Zhou family. When she saw Sr. Zhou and the others standing under the roof, she no longer had any respect for her family and elders. Her eyes were filled with deep hatred.
“Are you crazy? Who has seen your mother? Get lost, you unruly little bastard!” The eldest son of the Zhou family had just been scolded by Sr. Zhou and was feeling angry. Now that he heard the eldest daughter’s accusation, he was even angrier.
He didn’t dare to lose his temper at the guards in the casino, but dealing with a little girl like the eldest daughter was a piece of cake.
“My mother disappeared after you guys went to our house! If you guys didn’t take my mother away, who else could it be? Don’t deny it and return my mother to me!”
The eldest daughter clenched her fists and her childish voice was filled with sobs, but she didn’t show any weakness as she retorted to Mr. Zhou’s curses.
“How dare you talk back to me, you little brat?”
The eldest son of the Zhou family gritted his teeth and began to roll up his sleeves. Now, even a little girl like the oldest daughter dared to scold him. If he didn’t teach her a lesson, wouldn’t there be chaos in the future?
“I advise you guys to reveal Song Zhou’s whereabouts as soon as possible!” Yuan Niang followed the eldest daughter in from the courtyard door with a dark expression. The three guards who had been protecting Lin Suisui followed her in.
Actually, it would have been fine if only Yuan Niang had entered, but the guards behind her were quite imposing, making the eldest son of the Zhou family, who originally wanted to teach the eldest daughter a lesson, immediately cower.
He shrank back behind Old Madam Wan, but he glared at Yuan Niang while shouting, “Who are you?
This is my house. What right do you have to barge into my house?
“Let me warn you, if you guys still won’t leave, I’m going to report you guys to the authorities!”
“Alright, when the constable comes later, you can explain what you guys did in the Song family’s home just now!”
Yuan Niang snorted coldly and didn’t take the Zhou family’s warning seriously at all. She turned around and looked at Sr. Zhou, whose expression had changed drastically because of her words. She continued, “If you hand Song Zhou over now, things will be fine.. But if you continue to be stubborn and play dumb, no matter what happens next, don’t regret it!”
