Chapter 235 Returning One by One

In today's world, entry into officialdom depends entirely on recommendations. Even if you are knowledgeable and capable, but no one recommends you, everything is in vain.

Since you want to recommend someone, reputation is very important.

If this matter were to get out and implicate Song Zhi, the people above him would think that Song Zhi had bad behavior and he would never be able to get out of this situation.

Mrs. Song only felt scared now, and she quickly knelt in front of Old Madam Xu, asking for her forgiveness.

Old Madam Xu glanced around and said, "You all should go back. I have a few words to say to Madam Song."

Everyone stood up and said goodbye, but Old Lady Shen warned her: "Don't be foolish. It's not right for outsiders to make decisions in the Cui family."

"I understand. You should go back quickly."

"I'm glad you know." Old Mrs. Shen glared at her, turned around and left with her people.

After a while, only the people from the second branch of the Cui family and the mother and son of the Song family were left in the room.

Mrs. Song breathed a sigh of relief and said hurriedly, "Old Madam, I was wrong about this matter. It's all my fault, and it has nothing to do with Ah Zhi!"

Old Mrs. Xu laughed, "How can it be irrelevant? He eats from our Cui family and uses our Cui family's things, and even calls us villains in every word. How can it be irrelevant to him? It's just like picking up a bowl to eat and putting it down to curse your mother. "

These words were really vulgar. Song Zhi's face turned red and he looked very embarrassed, but he was speechless.

"Liang, your Song family is having a hard time. Since Song is a daughter of the Song family, you should explain it to her clearly and hope that she can help support her family. If she has anything, she should give it to you. Our Cui family has no objection."

We are all women, and who doesn’t have a mother’s family? If our mother’s family is in trouble and needs help, then it is our duty to help.

As for how much you can help, it depends on your ability and intention.

Moreover, in this world, if you don't have the support of your natal family, you won't know where to cry when you are bullied by your husband's family. It is normal to want to support your natal family, and it is understandable as long as it is not excessive.

"But you, instigated her to take advantage of her pregnancy to cause trouble every day, causing unrest in my Cui family, causing discord between her and her husband, and with her family.

And when she was giving birth, she threatened to take over the Cui family's management rights, almost causing her to have a difficult delivery. None of you in the Song family is innocent."

Song Zhi's face was pale, stiff and full of disbelief, and his head was buzzing.

Mrs. Song's face was also very pale.

Mrs. Xu continued, "I originally wanted to wait until Song was out of confinement before dealing with this matter, but since you guys are disregarding her health and making a fuss at this time, I don't have to endure it any longer. After all, you don't care about her, so why should I care about her?"

"You, the Song family, have bad intentions and are trying to implicate our Cui family. This is something our Cui family cannot tolerate.

I'm making this clear today: the management of the Cui family's second branch will never be handed over to the Song family. When Sanlang marries a new wife, I will personally teach her and let her take over this responsibility."

Mrs. Song's face changed: "How can this be possible? Ah Rou is the wife of the Cui family's second wife."

"Why not? Just because she's so stupid, and because your Song family has bad intentions and wants to get their hands on my Cui family, she doesn't have the qualifications. Mr. Song, you are a man, do you agree with what I said?"

"Your mother is greedy. Are you the same as her?"

Old Mrs. Xu's voice was cold and aggressive, and her face was full of disdain.

Song Zhi was still young and had a strong sense of self-esteem, so he couldn't stand this look and immediately turned his head and said:

"Since the old lady doesn't trust our Song family and my elder sister, you can give the stewardship of the Cui family's second branch to whoever you want. Our Song family will never get involved in anything."

After all, they are young, and they were fooled by just a few provocative words.

Mrs. Song's face turned green when she heard this. She had been busy for so long, jumping up and down in the Cui family, and for what? It was all to make more money from the Cui family. Now, Song Zhi cut off her retreat with just one word.

Mrs. Xu smiled when she heard this. "It seems that Mr. Song is still a gentleman. I was wrong about you. So, our two families have reached an agreement. This matter must not be brought up again in the future. If it is brought up again, don't blame me, an old woman, for sending a letter of divorce to Mrs. Song and asking her to go back to your Song family."

"This time, considering she was pregnant and gave birth to a daughter, which was really hard, and fortunately nothing serious happened, I will not bother with her. If she makes trouble again, the Cui family will not tolerate a troublemaker like her."

Old Madam Xu lifted it up and put it down again, gave a slap and a sweet date, and issued a warning, which made Madam Song and Song Zhi's hearts sometimes fall into the abyss and sometimes be pulled up again, and cold sweat appeared on their foreheads.

Mrs. Song wanted to refute but didn't know how to refute.

"Also, no matter how much of our Cui family's things you took, return them all to me. Taking things without asking is a thief. The Song family is from an aristocratic family after all. Even if they are down and out now, they wouldn't be thieves, right?"

"This...this..." Mrs. Song's face was pale and her lips trembled constantly.

It was Old Lady Xu who warned the Song family not to plot against the Cui family again, and Song Rou had lost her qualification to be the future housekeeper. However, these losses were invisible, and Mrs. Song was unwilling to accept it, but now she could only grit her teeth and accept it.

But if she were asked to send the things back, her heart would bleed.

"What? You don't want to?" Old Mrs. Xu turned her head to look.

Mrs. Song was embarrassed: "No...no."

"That's right." Old Madam Xu's expression softened slightly. "Logically, the Cui family lost so many things, they should report it to the authorities and let them investigate. If they were charged with theft, they wouldn't be so easy to deal with."

"Considering that the Song family was just distracted for a moment, and also considering the Song family's sake, I, the old lady, will make the decision and we can resolve this privately.

I don't ask the Song family for compensation. As long as the Song family returns everything they took from the Cui family, one by one, this matter will be over."

But even if they were returned one by one, the Song family still wouldn’t come back!

Mrs. Song almost screamed.

"But old lady... old lady..." The little dignity that Mrs. Song had maintained before seemed to collapse to the ground, revealing an embarrassed, angry and unwilling look.

"But, old lady, the Song family had a very hard time before. I had many things pawned. I'm afraid..."

"It's pawned. I know. It doesn't matter. You can go to the pawnshop and redeem the remaining items. Just say that it was our Cui family's intention. The other party won't dare to refuse."

"However, if it has already been sold and cannot be taken back, the Cui family will not ask for more. The Song family will convert it into money according to the current price and return it to the Cui family. The account will be settled."
