Chapter 410 The decisive old lady Zhao

Zhao Andong and his sisters were discussing the difficulties faced by their family, but they did not expect that Old Mrs. Zhao would wake up, which made them overjoyed. Although Zhao Andong was the head of the family, in fact, in their family, the one who really made the decision was Old Mrs. Zhao.

"Mom, are you awake?" Zhao Andong was the first to rush forward and asked with a look of surprise.

"You are so loud, why am I still sleeping?" Old Mrs. Zhao coughed a few times at this time, and then sat up with Zhao Andong's support. She was half-unconscious and half-awake just now, and she heard what her children said, but her body was uncontrollable at that time and could not wake up. In the end, it was her favorite Sanniang who rushed in, which made her have the strength to open her eyes.

"Grandma! How do you feel? Do you want me to invite Dr. Zhou?" Sanniang saw her grandmother wake up, and then squeezed over to grab Mrs. Zhao's hand. Although she was a woman, she was very loved by Mrs. Zhao, so when Mrs. Zhao fell ill, she was also the one who was most anxious.

"Don't worry, the old woman is lucky. The King of Hell doesn't want to accept me!" Old Mrs. Zhao gently patted her granddaughter's hand, then glanced at Zhao Andong and others and said, "I heard what you said just now. The Chu family wanted to seize our store, and even Sanniang wanted to take it away. It was so damnable!"

When Mrs. Zhao said these words, her face seemed very calm, as if she was talking about other people's affairs. In fact, she had experienced too many storms in her life. She was just angry for a moment, but now she has calmed down because she knows that anger can't solve anything at all.

"Mother, my son is incompetent, so you are angry with your mother." Zhao Andong said to Mrs. Zhao with a shame at this time, he was the head of the family, but he was powerless when facing such a crisis, which made him feel ashamed of his family.

"You don't have to blame yourself. The Chu family is willing to see money. This is not something we can control. However, you were blinded by money before. You were just thinking about making money, but you never thought about the possible crisis that money might bring. This time you just treat it as a lesson!" Old Mrs. Zhao did not blame her son too much, but said calmly again.

Old Mrs. Zhao is not an ordinary village woman. She was originally from Tokyo and her father was a scholar. So when she was a child, she also studied and read with her father. She was comparable to women with extraordinary knowledge. Otherwise, she would not have supported the family with the power of a weak woman.

"Mom, what should we do next?" Zhao Anli asked impatiently. Although they seemed to be forced into a desperate situation now, Zhao Anli had confidence in his mother, because since childhood, no matter what difficulties the family encountered, no matter what difficulties they encountered, his mother seemed to have a way to solve them.

"What should I do?" At this moment, Old Mrs. Zhao sneered, "There is no way, our store will definitely not be able to be kept!"

"Mom, are you not able to do anything?" Zhao Anli couldn't help but scream in grief when she heard her mother's answer. The cloth shop is the lifeblood of their Zhao family. If there is no such shop, how should their family survive?

Seeing the youngest son, Old Mrs. Zhao couldn't help but sigh: "What's the solution? The Chu family is a big business and a local clan. In their eyes, our Zhao family is like a little ant. It can kill us with just one finger. In the face of absolute strength, no strategy is useful!"

"Fourth brother, it's just a store, it's nothing to give them to the Chu family. We were able to start from scratch, but now we don't have this store, and we can still make it back in the future!" Zhao Andong suddenly interrupted. He originally hoped that his mother could come up with a solution, but now there is nothing to do with his mother, so he could only comfort everyone.

However, just as Zhao Andong finished speaking, the old lady Zhao suddenly spoke again: "Who said she wanted to give the store to the Chu family?"

"Mom, what do you mean? If the store is not given to the Chu family, you can't marry Sanniang, right?" At this time, Zhao Andong's eldest sister spoke. She was the quietest and her husband's family couldn't help, so she rarely spoke from beginning to end.

"Hmph, don't you know who the Chu family is? I'm reluctant to send Sanniang over and let someone ruin it. Come and say this again in the future!" Old Mrs. Zhao said very sternly when she heard her daughter's words, which made the eldest sister of the Zhao family immediately dare not speak again.

At this time, Old Mrs. Zhao glanced at her four children again, and then slowly said: "Our store must not be able to be kept, but it cannot be cheaper for this hungry wolf in the Chu family!"

When he said this, he saw a decisive look on his old face, and then looked at Zhao Andong and asked, "Boss, how much more can the family take out?"

"There is not much money at home, but the payment for the goods last time has not been paid yet. If it is embezzled, it should be possible to take out a hundred coins." Zhao Andong hesitated and replied. His cloth shop was only enough to make a living, but because of the popularity of cotton cloth, he earned some money. Otherwise, he would never have been able to pay so much money before.

"Enough, the fourth brother, you quietly left the city and returned to Zhaojia Village today to find your cousin An Jie. He is now the head of the household. Let him help organize dozens of young and strong men to come to Hejian Mansion. Each of them promises them the usual money to escort our family out of the city!" Old Mrs. Zhao said immediately.

"Go out of the city? Mom, do you mean... you don't want anything here?" Zhao Andong couldn't help but show an incredible expression when he heard his mother's words.

"Mom, this is not possible. Even if we hand over the store and we still have this yard, it would be a pity if we give up?" Zhao Andong's wife shouted reluctantly at this time.

"Don't have any vision. Do you think the Chu family will let us go after handing over the cloth shop?" Old Mrs. Zhao glared at her daughter-in-law at this time, and then said again, "The Chu family's power in Hejian Mansion is not big or small. They still have concerns in doing things. If we really offer the cloth shop obediently, they will definitely not let us stay in Hejian Mansion again, so they will definitely try their best to force us to leave. We will still leave and will suffer more humiliation."

When she said this, Mrs. Zhao paused for a moment and then said, "Since we are leaving, let's just leave. But you have already collected the land deed. Even if the store is not needed, as long as the land deed is still in our hands, maybe there will be a day to go back to the store in the future!"

When Zhao Andong and the four brothers and sisters also looked at each other. Although they were emotionally unacceptable, reason told them that their mother's decision should be their best choice now.
