After inquiring about the situation of Zhao Anren's family, Li Zhang also quickly resigned, but according to the one-legged old man, Zhao Anren's father Zhao Da had already passed away, and three of the four brothers and three younger sisters did not live to adulthood, among which Zhao Anren's second brother died in the war, and the fourth brother also died of illness, and another sister also did not live to adulthood, and the remaining two sisters have already married.

Knowing the above situation, Li Zhang couldn't help but sigh, this era is like this, having more children does not mean that they can survive, especially the premature mortality rate of children, although there are no statistics, but it is absolutely scary, Zhao Anren's family is the epitome of ordinary people's families in the Great Song Dynasty, in fact, not to mention ordinary people, even the children of the emperor's family often die, such as Zhao Heng and Zhao Zhen's father and son, are all deeply affected.

Knowing the situation at Zhao Anren's family, Li Zhang also immediately said goodbye to Zhao Anjie and his son, but when he left, he also left some money for Zhao Anjie and his son, the amount was not much, only ten times, and it was also his private contribution, mainly because the amount of money given by Zhao Anren was all in face value of hundreds of times, and it could not be broken at all.

At the same time, in a small courtyard in the southwest of Hejian Fucheng, Zhao Andong was sitting next to him with a frown, his wife Xu was crying secretly, and the two younger sisters who were married had also returned, and his fourth brother Zhao Anli, it can be said that it is rare for the four of their brothers and sisters to get together so much, but now everyone has a gloomy expression on their faces.

And on the hospital bed next to Zhao Andong's brother and sister, a white-haired old lady was lying there, her wrinkled face could not see any blood, and her thin lips moaned in pain from time to time, and although the children next to her wanted to share the pain for the old mother, they couldn't do anything at all.

"Big brother, the Chu family is powerful, and it is a local clan, and there are people who know each other on the official face, now our stores have been closed, I think it is really not good, let's just go out of the store, and then go back to Zhaojia Village, so as not to suffer from this kind of person's anger here!" At this time, I saw the tall Zhao Anli being the first to speak, although his name has a word "li", but in fact, his personality is impulsive and irritable, and he caused trouble for his family when he was young, and he has only restrained a lot after marrying a wife and having children in recent years.

"No, the store was brought down by our mother and our family, and we worked hard to get it down, so we can't give up easily no matter what!" Zhao Andong shook his head very resolutely at this time.

In order to escape the war, the Zhao family fled from Leshou County to Hejian Mansion, when Zhao Andong and others were still young, they all relied on their father's coolies to help unload goods, and their mother weaved a good cloth, so they barely gained a foothold in Hejian Mansion.

Later, his father died of illness, Zhao Andong's mother, that is, the old lady lying on the hospital bed, carried the burden of the family, with the two daughters weaving cloth day and night, and the two Zhao Andong brothers were selling everywhere, which slowly had some savings, and took down a shop to sell cloth for a living, it can be said that this store is their family's hard work for decades, and it is also their lifeline, and the family all rely on this store to live, so Zhao Andong is naturally reluctant to give up this store.

"If it really doesn't work, why don't you marry Sanniang?" At this moment, I saw Zhao Andong's wife next to her wipe her tears and whispered, but when she said these words, she also showed a distressed expression.

The Zhao family's cloth shop was originally running well, at least there was no problem in feeding the family, and Mrs. Zhao didn't have to weave cloth herself for a long time, and the cloth shop mainly collected cloth from other places to sell in Hejian Mansion, but just some time ago, some major events happened in the Zhao family's cloth shop.

The scale of the Zhao family's cloth shop is not large, mainly selling linen cloth, the price of silk is too high, and they can't afford it, but some time ago Zhao Andong found a way from a friend, and bought a batch of very cheap cotton cloth from the capital, this cloth is thick and wear-resistant, and it is comfortable to wear, and it is suddenly loved by the people of Hejian Mansion, and the sales are very hot, and the Zhao family cloth shop has also become famous, and the income has increased several times.

This was originally a good thing, but the Zhao family didn't know that opportunities were often accompanied by risks, the Zhao family cloth shop was originally inconspicuous, and naturally no one paid attention to it, but now the business is so good, it naturally arouses the eyes of others, such as the local Chu family, who first came to the door to buy their shop, Zhao Andong was naturally unwilling, and as a result, the Chu family used the power behind it to seal the Zhao family cloth shop.

What's worse is that Zhao Andong's third daughter is just fifteen years old this year, and she is quite beautiful, after the eldest lord of the Chu family saw it, he actually wanted to forcibly take Sanniang as a concubine, Zhao Andong naturally didn't want to, but the Chu family let out a word, either give them the store at a low price, or send Sanniang to their house, otherwise their Zhao family didn't want to stay in Hejian Mansion any longer.

In the face of the bullying of the Chu family, Mrs. Zhao, who has always been tough, fell ill in a fit of anger, and Zhao Anton also called his younger brothers and sisters to discuss, but their Zhao family was thin, and the husbands of the two sisters were also small families, so they couldn't help at all, so now the family is dying of sorrow.

"No, even if the store is sold, you can't let Sanniang be a concubine for the Chu family!" Regarding his wife's proposal, Zhao Andong refused without hesitation, because he knew that although the Chu family said on the surface that as long as they married Sanniang, they would not want their store again, but Zhao Andong had been rolling in the business for many years, and naturally knew that as long as his daughter married, the Chu family would definitely take advantage of this relationship to seize the cloth shop, and even if the cloth shop still had the Zhao family's signboard on the surface, it would actually belong to the Chu family.

"What the eldest brother said is right, sister-in-law, don't think so, the Chu family is a group of hungry wolves who eat people and don't spit out bones, if you send Sanniang over, then it is really sending sheep into the mouth of the tiger, we Sanniang can't suffer that hardship!" At this time, Zhao Andong's little sister spoke, she married a little scribe from the Hejian Mansion, although she had no power and couldn't help much, but she could inquire about a lot of useful news, and she knew better than anyone else in the family about the evil deeds of the Chu family.

"Auntie, I'm not afraid, send me over, maybe the Chu family will really keep their promise, and then our family will be saved!" At this moment, I suddenly saw a beautiful girl crying and rushing in and shouting, she had been eavesdropping outside the window for a while, and he also knew about the recent family affairs, for the safety of her family, she was willing to jump into the fire pit.

"What are you going to do, adults, hurry up and get out!" Although Zhao Andong felt sorry for his daughter, he had always been stern, and he scolded him sharply, but as soon as Zhao Andong's words fell, he suddenly only heard the old lady Zhao on the hospital bed moan, and then slowly opened his eyes.
