Chapter 113 Qin Family's Conditions
The Qin family has recently lost a lot of money and only buys medicine for the child once every three months. They couldn't stop them this time, but what about next time?
The Qin family might not have the money to buy medicine next time.
They also limited her development, preventing her from building workshops and hindering the expansion of Qin's business.
In Liuzhou, similar noodle fish-shaped pastries have begun to appear, which is also a blow to Qin's business.
Qin could hold on for three months, six months, or even a year, but she couldn't hold on for three or five years. She was just a weak woman, and she wouldn't be able to endure it.
I thought we'd have to wait another six months, but I didn't expect her to give up so quickly.
"Don't think I don't know what you want to do with the child. If I keep her, I won't have a good life. If I send her back, will I be any better off? I made the painful decision to give her up, so I should get something in return."
Qin looked at Su Changsheng and Su Changshui; this was the plan her father had told her.
To ensure that her precious child could return to the Su family smoothly, she had to play the role of a wicked mother who revealed her true colors.
People are selfish; she not only had to ask, but she had to ask for an exorbitant amount!
"Of course, what benefits do you want?"
Su Changsheng smiled and asked. When Madam Qin asked this question, he knew that everything was settled.
No matter how much Qin said she loved her daughter, she ultimately lost to the truth. She said they were fickle, but she was just as fickle.
There might even be Qin Tianhai behind this. He claims to be seeking justice for his daughter, but in the end, isn't it all for his own benefit?
"I want ten thousand taels of silver, two shops on South Street, and that you never target me again!"
Qin made an outrageous demand without batting an eye.
Before Su Changsheng and Su Changshui could even speak, Old Madam Yang stood up angrily: "You shameless woman, what great ambition you have! Why don't you just rob someone! You sell your daughter and you're still so self-righteous, have you no shame!"
How dare she ask for ten thousand taels!
Old Mrs. Yang was so angry her mouth was crooked.
Old Su frowned, his eyes filled with disgust as he looked at Qin Shi. She was too greedy and too vile!
Both Lian and Liu were startled. Qin really dared to ask for ten thousand taels!
What made them even more nervous was whether Su Changsheng and Su Changshui would agree.
Both Su Changsheng and Su Changsheng frowned. The two brothers exchanged a glance before Su Changsheng spoke calmly, "Madam Qin, you think too highly of your daughter. Her life is not worth ten thousand taels!"
"Who knows if it's worth it? If you think it's not worth it, then forget it. I'd rather she die by my hand than let anyone else have her way!"
Qin looked at Su Changsheng and Su Changshui with a cold smile. The Su family had a lot of money, but their expenses were also high. The losses of the past few months, amounting to 10,000 taels, were enough to make the Su family spend a lot of money. Only then would they be more cautious when her precious baby returned to this den of wolves.
If you want to get something out of her, you have to take good care of her and coax her.
"Don't rush to tell me. You can think about it carefully. Five days. I'll give you five days to think it over."
Qin glanced at the Su family members, then turned and walked out.
She left the Su family home without needing anyone to guide her.
After Qin left, Old Yang jumped up and down, saying, "That shameless woman, she went too far! That damned girl isn't worth that much money!"
"Second brother, third brother, let's abandon those wretched girls and let them die out there!"
Old Madam Yang said angrily, "Ten thousand taels! Just thinking about ten thousand taels makes my heart ache!"
"Mother, if you don't understand anything, then don't talk. Look, your headache is gone, but Father's legs still hurt. If you hadn't tormented her so much just now, she wouldn't have dared to ask for so much!"
Su Changshui felt somewhat guilty towards Old Madam Yang. After thinking it over, he realized it was his mother's fault. Originally, Madam Qin had come to the house in a humble manner. If his mother hadn't been so harsh on her, Madam Qin wouldn't have gone to such extremes!
Old Mrs. Yang was speechless after being scolded. She lowered her head guiltily and reflected on her actions. She had already begun to regret not handling things better.
Su Changshui made his point clear, and the whole family felt uncomfortable looking at Old Yang.
If they take those ten thousand taels, then the time that Old Madam Yang spent tormenting Madam Qin will be worth a fortune.
"So what do we do now?"
Lian asked cautiously, feeling uneasy herself. If Qin had received the ten thousand taels and two shops, she wouldn't have to worry about the rest of her life...
I was just watching her being humiliated, but now I'm just filled with jealousy.
Is a sickly girl really worth that much money?
Su Changsheng and Su Changshui were also unwilling to give it up, but after thinking about Su Chang'an's instructions, Su Changsheng said, "Anyway, we have a few days. Send a message to our elder brother and ask for his opinion."
They do have 10,000 taels in their treasury, but if they give it to the Qin family, a third of their treasury will be gone. Even if they make a profit, it would take them a year and a half to earn that 10,000 taels, so they are unwilling to give it away.
“Send a message to Chang’an that Su Dai is his daughter. See what he thinks. If he wants Su Dai to come back, he has to pay for it. He’ll figure out a way.”
Old Master Su has spoken. Su Chang'an has become a high-ranking official and married a noblewoman. His parents and brothers cannot attend his wedding. There are many intricacies involved.
It's only right that he pays to bring the child back.
"Okay, I'll listen to Dad."
Su Changshui smiled and breathed a sigh of relief. He had actually been unwilling ever since Qin asked for 10,000 taels of silver.
Why should they pay such a high price? They haven't even enjoyed the benefits of their elder brother's official power yet.
But if his elder brother were to pay the ten thousand taels himself, then he would have no objection.
"Father, Mother, you two get some rest. We'll go downstairs now."
Su Changsheng said goodbye to Su Changshui and then left.
Liu and Lian also took the opportunity to retreat.
After they left, Old Madam Yang was extremely anxious. She lived in the same courtyard as Old Man Su, and she had nowhere to avoid them!
Old Mrs. Yang knew that Old Man Su was angry, so she said cautiously, "Old man, calm down. I didn't know that slut would turn on me like that."
"You don't know, you don't know! What do you know? What use are you? Just looking at you makes me sick! Has your brain been eaten by a pig?"
Old Su was furious. His legs hurt so much he couldn't stand up. Originally, Old Yang was also in pain, but he didn't think much of it. However, seeing that Old Yang had been freed from the torment of pain while he hadn't, he couldn't calm down.
"You, you come and massage my legs and wash my feet!"
Old Man Su couldn't stand seeing Old Madam Yang doing well, and said with a fierce look in his eyes.
Old Yang dared not disobey and immediately went to do it.
She was just feeling wronged and heartbroken.
But he was everything to her. No matter how much she suffered, she could only swallow her tears. She didn't hold a grudge against Old Man Su, but she did hold a grudge against Liu and Lian. They left quickly and didn't stay to help her out of her predicament.
She's the mother-in-law; she'll have her chance to deal with them later!
Old Yang's heart was twisted. If Liu and Lian had stayed, she would have hated them too, because she would have felt ashamed if her two daughters-in-law had seen her in such a wretched state.
