The doctor came to take a look at Ms. Liu and said that she was irritated and upset. He prescribed some medicine to calm her nerves, take a few pictures, and rest for a few days and she would be fine.
Song Heng went to see Mrs. Liu and then went to the study, while Lin Qingxue stayed in Mrs. Liu's room to wait on her.
In the afternoon, Song Ziyu came back from school and heard that Mrs. Liu was ill, so she hurriedly went to Liu's courtyard.
However, when she went there, Mrs. Liu had already fallen asleep, so she just stood by the couch and looked at it. Then she asked Lin Qingxue, Mrs. Liu was fine, why did she suddenly become ill?
Lin Qingxue told Song Ziyu the reason why Mrs. Liu was sick, and also said that Song Ziling owed a gambling debt of twenty thousand taels. Her and Song Ziling's monthly salary was also cut in half because her mother said that she was given too much.
.
Song Ziyu was furious after hearing this. Her brother actually lost 20,000 taels of silver by gambling at a young age. If this news spread, her sister would also be embarrassed.
In addition, her monthly salary was actually reduced by half. Among the girls in the girls' school, which one's monthly salary was higher than hers. After school, they often drink tea and have snacks together. You can pay for it today, and I can pay for it tomorrow.
.Ten taels of silver a month is not enough for tea, and now it has been reduced by half. If it is her turn to treat her to tea, and she cannot come up with the money, it will be a shame.
"This bastard Song Ziling is really outrageous." Song Ziyu stood in Liu's courtyard, stamping her feet angrily.
Lin Qingxue sighed and said: "Yes! Your father and I are now worried about the gambling debt of 20,000 taels! They said that if we don't pay it in these two days, we will come to collect it in person the day after tomorrow.
.We won’t be able to take it out by then. If there is a commotion in front of our house, no one in our family will go out to meet people in the future.”
Song Ziyu said: "Second mother, don't you have a lot of money and dowry? Please pay it back first! I don't want to be laughed at by my classmates when I go to school in the future."
The corner of Lin Qingxue's mouth couldn't help but twitch. Does Song Ziyu really think that she owes the Song family? What kind of money? She has to pay it as a matter of course.
Not to mention that she doesn’t have that much money on hand, even if she can scrape it together, she won’t give it out.
"Where do I have any money? The little money I got from selling my property was all used to support the father-in-law. I sold my dowry, so I was able to make up for it. But, in three years, you will be pregnant, and I
If I sell my dowry, what will I use to make your dowry?"
When Song Ziyu heard that Er Niang planned to keep the dowry for himself, he said: "The dowry cannot be sold, but how are you going to collect the gambling debt? You can't sell the house!"
After all, their family didn't have any land, and their father had sold the land that the emperor had given as a reward, and divided the land that should be divided among them.
Lin Qingxue rolled her eyes and said, "Actually, it's not difficult to collect enough gambling debts. All you need to do is sell a few pieces of clothing as a thank-you gift from Princess Liufang to your mother."
"Pah!" Song Ziyu clapped his hands and said, "Why did I forget this? Those thank-you gifts given to my mother by Princess Liufang are extremely valuable!"
A sneer flashed in Lin Qingxue's eyes, and she said worriedly: "I'm afraid my sister won't be willing."
Song Ziyu widened his eyes and said, "Not willing? Now that the General's Mansion is in crisis, she has to be willing even if she doesn't want to. Besides, she gave birth to Ziling!"
"By the way, did my dad give Song Ziling a good beating again this time?" Er Niang didn't seem to have told her yet how dad dealt with that brat Song Ziling this time!
Song Ziling, this brat, made such a big mistake this time. I'm afraid my father won't just slap him dozens of times like before.
