Chapter 193 Liu Si Niang's Dowry and IOU

Zhao Yang was furious at Liu Siniang first, and then when Su Zhi scolded her, she remembered that the relationship between Liu Siniang and the Liu family was not very good. A light bulb suddenly flashed through her mind. It was not because she felt that she was wrong to treat Liu Siniang like that just now, but because she thought of a way to deal with the Liu family. She thought that if this worked, since her daughter cared so much for Liu Siniang, she would definitely think that she was a good mother, and she could also get money. That was such a great deal!

"Fourth Mother, it was Auntie's fault just now. Your sister-in-law and nephew are not feeling well and have been wronged, so I felt upset and got angry at you. It was Auntie's fault."

Zhao Yang went over, took Liu Si Niang's hand, and began to apologize. Not only Liu Si Niang and Su Zhi were surprised, but even Lian Hua was puzzled. They thought that her mother had always been unreasonable and would force herself not to apologize even if she did something wrong. What happened today?

Liu Si Niang pulled her hand back and said, "Auntie, it's okay. Please sit down. You watched me grow up, so I won't blame you if you say a few words to me."

Zhao Yang sat next to Liu Si Niang and said, "That's good, that's good. By the way, Si Niang, why were you divorced? The Zhao family is such a jerk. How could they divorce you when you are such a good girl? Don't be sad. If they want to find another good girl like you, they won't be able to find one even if they light a lantern. When you recover, your aunt will find you a good family. Then we'll see what they say. By the way, are you going to get your dowry back?"

"Mother, Si Niang was not divorced. She asked for a divorce on her own initiative."

Su Zhi corrected her. In her opinion, being divorced and voluntarily divorcing are two different concepts. The divorce and divorce letters are both not good, but divorced women are always more respected by others, and people will think that the husband's family is not good. Women will be looked down upon less. She naturally had to explain it clearly to Zhao Yangshi, so that she would not always say that she was divorced. When others knew about it, it would not be good for Liu Si Niang's reputation.

"Oh, it's a divorce, it's a divorce." Zhao Yang immediately changed her words. But in her heart, she was thinking, a divorce means that the husband's family doesn't want you anymore, which is no different from being divorced, so why bother? "Fourth Lady, you've been in the Zhao family for three years. Are you just going to come out clean like this? Whether it's a divorce or a divorce, you can get your dowry back, right?"

Su Zhi thought that her mother really loved money, why was she always eyeing other people's dowry?

Liu Si Niang lowered her head and said, "Auntie, you know that when I got married, I didn't have much dowry, and those dowry have been used up over the years.

"That's what I said. You are just too soft-hearted! You were harshly treated at your parents' home, and you were bullied at your husband's home. It's a pity that your parents passed away early, and your uncle and aunt didn't make decisions for you, so you suffered for more than three years, and now you are getting divorced. How are you going to live in the future? It's really pitiful."

Zhao Yang pulled Liu Si Niang's hand again, looking like she was about to cry but didn't, as if she loved Liu Si Niang very much.

Su Zhi saw this and thought that her mother looked just like she did when she first saw her, looking like she was in pain but couldn't shed tears. Now, it seemed that in her mother's eyes, she didn't know whether Liu Si Niang was loved by her as much as her daughter, or whether her daughter was treated as an outsider by her like Liu Si Niang. No matter how she thought about it, it seemed to be the latter. She really didn't understand why others said that she was the daughter loved by the Zhao family.

After hearing what Zhao Yang said, Liu Si Niang thought of her parents and the remaining years ahead, and her eyes became red.

When Su Zhi saw Liu Si Niang like that, she could not think of anything else. She handed her a handkerchief and said, "Mother, don't mention these unpleasant things anymore. Si Niang is capable and smart, and she will have a good life in the future."

Zhao Yang was criticized by her daughter again. She pulled the corner of her mouth awkwardly and said, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about these painful things. I just feel sorry for Si Niang. Si Niang, to be honest, you are divorced now, and you still leave the house clean. If you remarry in the future, it will be difficult to find a good family without a good dowry. Auntie, I seem to have heard your aunt say that your house and land were given to them, but they had to give money, but they didn't have money at the time, so they didn't give it to you, right?"

Su Zhi was moved when she heard this. She thought, "So this is true. If it's true, Liu Si Niang will get some money, which will be very beneficial to her life!" She glanced at Zhao Yang and thought, "This mother must know that the Liu family is unwilling to give her the ten taels of silver, so she wants to get the money out of it." But she would not agree.

Liu Si Niang was stunned for a moment and said, "That's true."

"Oh, it really happened. Now that you're divorced, go ask them for money. As long as you get the money back, you'll have some hope. Then you'll have a dowry and you can still marry into a good family."

When Zhao Yang heard this, she was delighted, thinking that she could finally make the Liu family go bankrupt.

"I remember that your family had two mu of land at that time. Although it was low-quality land, one mu was worth ten taels of silver! Although your house was a little old, it was quite big. If you sold it to someone else, you could sell the land and the house for ten taels, right? Then you would have thirty taels in your hand! This is a lot of silver!"

"Mother, this is a lot of silver, but it belongs to Si Niang and has nothing to do with you. Don't think of including the ten taels of silver you want in it."

Su Zhi said calmly, thinking about what Zhao Yangshi was thinking, she didn't want to ask the Liu family for money, why did she come to count for Liu Si Niang's money? She didn't owe her anything.

When Zhao Yang heard this, her face fell immediately. This was exactly what she had planned, but she didn't expect Su Zhi to mess it up without hesitation.

"My daughter, if Si Niang wants to get the money back, it's impossible. If we help Si Niang to get it back, Si Niang will make money. We are helping her. Si Niang, don't you think so? Your uncle and his men will not take you seriously. Even if you have an IOU written by them, they can still deny the debt. If we help you, you will be sure. Don't you think so?"

Zhao Yang was not giving up and looked at Liu Si Niang again.

Liu Si Niang said, "Auntie, I'm so sorry. You can't get the money back because the IOU is gone."

"What?! The IOU is gone? How could it be gone?"

Zhao Yang was dumbfounded. How could she ask for the money if she didn't have the IOU? From what Yang Xianghua said, they didn't pay back the money at all. What about the IOU? Could it be that they got it so cheaply? Zhao Yang was unwilling to accept it. She felt bad that Liu Damu's family took the thirty taels of silver and didn't give her the ten taels of silver!

Su Zhi was also a little disappointed, wondering how the IOU could be gone? Liu Si Niang would be short of money again. But then she changed her mind and thought that even if she didn't have the money, Liu Si Niang was capable. When the time came, they could do some business together. Why should she be worried that Liu Si Niang would have no money to spend? But when she thought about the Liu family taking advantage of Liu Si Niang, she felt sorry for her.

Lianhua said, "Fourth sister, did you lose the IOU? Or did your uncle and his men steal it?"

Liu Si Niang said, "The IOU was lost before I got married. I think my uncle's family stole it. I asked them about it, but they denied it and had a fight with me, saying I had no conscience. They said I gave all the money to my husband's family and they kept it, and they wanted to cheat them. I didn't see who took it at the time, and I was afraid that if I didn't make it clear, my husband's family would be upset with me, so I didn't say anything. Because of this incident, I have always had a grudge against my uncle's family, and they don't care about me."

Zhao Yang clapped her hands and said, "They must have stolen it! Who else could it be except them?! We went to a banquet together that time, and your aunt drank some cat urine and said those words. I only guessed that they didn't give you the money, but I didn't expect that they had already stolen the IOU. They are really heartless! They even plotted against their own niece, aren't they afraid that your parents will not let them go!"

Lianhua pouted and said, "It's useless to say anything now. The IOU is gone. Sister, you should think about helping us get the ten taels of silver."

In Lianhua's heart, her own ten taels of silver are the most important.

Although Zhao Yang was unwilling to let the Liu family take such a huge advantage, she had no choice but to do so. Thinking of the ten taels of silver she had, she decided to ask her daughter for help.

"My daughter, your parents have suffered so much for you these years! We sent you to a nunnery because we missed you and visited you every year. We emptied our family savings and couldn't even take care of your brothers and sisters, all for you. Now you can't ignore us. Your mother won't ask you for money, you just need to help her get the money. As long as you and your son-in-law stand there, are you afraid that they won't give you the money? If that doesn't work, you can bring the holy beast with you and scare them to death!"

As Zhao Yang said this, she started crying to Su Zhi again.

"My daughter, if you don't help me, I will kneel down before you."

Zhao Yang was about to kneel down. Liu Si Niang beside her hurriedly pulled her back. How could a mother kneel down before her daughter? Wouldn't this be a sacrifice for Su Zhi's virility? She hurriedly tried to persuade Zhao Yang. Lian Hua also begged Su Zhi.

"Okay, I'll go there tomorrow, you guys go back."

Su Zhi felt helpless when she saw this, and thought that she should go and help them solve the problem. Although she didn't like this family, as long as they didn't go too far, she would still do her best to be filial to them.

When Zhao Yangshi and Lianhua heard this, they smiled and told Su Zhi to bring the whole family with her tomorrow, and preferably bring the holy beast as well. Then they started nagging again.

Su Zhi responded one by one, thinking that she would definitely not bring the holy beast with her tomorrow, but she would also find a way to make the Liu family pay the price they deserve and let them not treat human life as human life!

After the mother and daughter left, Su Zhi went to Liu Si Niang's room and saw her packing her things. At this time, she was holding a piece of paper in her hand and reading it carefully. When she saw Su Zhi coming in, she put the paper aside, then stood up to face Su Zhi, and as a result, the clothes placed aside moved, and a gust of wind blew, and the paper fell to the ground.

Su Zhi picked up the paper and inadvertently swept it upwards.
