Chapter 158 No matter how difficult the road is, you have to go on

Wu slowly calmed down: "Because our Wu family needs a child."

As she said that, she raised her head, and waves surged in her eyes: "The girl is from a powerful person. I don't think she doesn't know much about us merchants. You probably haven't heard of our Wu family in Cangzhou?"

Zhao Su did not pay attention to it, so he nodded honestly: "I have never left the capital yet, and I really don't understand it. However, judging from the young lady's temperament, the Wu family must have strong financial resources and is the overlord of a region."

After all, what is built is a ship, not a carriage.

"Our Wu family has three docks in Dagu, and there are also some small businesses."

“Three docks!”

Even Zhao Su, who has no idea about money, also understood how old an entrepreneur this is.

Wu Lanfeng just nodded, without enjoying her exclamation, and said, "When it comes to family affairs, our Wu family is indeed not bad. But we are also facing a great dilemma. My parents only gave birth to one son and one daughter. My younger brother is smart and studious. He can help his father with common affairs in his teens, but he suddenly passed away a few years ago.

"My father has only one son. I am waiting for him to grow up and inherit the family business. My father was hit hard and passed away not long after. Fortunately, my mother was strong and forced to survive the difficulties and took the big business down.

"But my mother is alone after all, and the family urgently needs a person to Chengzong. I want to have a child, and I will take her back to my parents' home to raise her and cultivate him to inherit this family business."

Zhao Su spent a while digesting this message and asked, "Why do you have to have a child to inherit? You can just divorce me and go back and inherit?"

"How is that easy?" Wu Lanfeng frowned, "It's really difficult for a woman to inherit her family property. My mother started from scratch with her father, and the boatmen obeyed her, so she was able to take over successfully. I am just a daughter. In the eyes of the world, a married woman is splashed with water. Where can they allow me to take over?

"In recent years, my uncles have been tempted by our family. They have been raising trouble behind the dock several times, so they are waiting to squeeze us out so that we can divide it up!"

"How could there be such an unreasonable person? This business was created by your parents, what does it have to do with them?"

"That's right, how could they reason?" Wu Lanfeng's face was as cold as ice. "Because I gradually got away from my husband over the years, I had already had the idea of ​​separation. It was just because my father and younger brother went there, and the Lin family was unwilling to gain a reputation of bullying and forced me to leave.

"But in recent years, my husband's concubine has been included and the concubine's children have been born. I really don't understand what else to miss?

"A few days ago, I got my mother's consent and thought about simply getting pregnant and then leaving me. In this way, I returned to my parents' home and there are descendants who can cultivate it."

Zhao Su couldn't help but say, "What if the one who was born is also a daughter? What if the Lin family finds out and causes trouble afterwards? Why don't you just divorce and find a reliable man to marry into a marriage again? You are so young, it's impossible for you to go on like this, right? If you have a man at home, some aspects are better."

Before his grandfather passed away, Zhao Su's mother was polite to her grandmother every time she came back, but after his grandfather passed away, Zhao Su's mother came back and she didn't even have a smile and was picky.

No matter how difficult it is for mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to get along with each other, Zhao Su was brought by her parents and also cultivated her carefully into her. Why is she not worthy of respect?

Besides, even if she was dissatisfied, she chose to show it after her grandfather passed away, which also means that with a man at home, women can still be more confident.

The ability of men to play a role in the family is one of the reasons why Zhao Su can respect men while supporting the awakening of female consciousness.

"No matter whether the child or daughter is born, it will only benefit and not harm to me and my mother." Wu Lanfeng's eyes were firm, "Although the Lin family is powerful, with the strength of my Wu family, if they insist on taking the child away, they still cannot afford to fight me to the death.

"What's more, my husband's mind was no longer on me, so he wanted to part ways with me immediately, so even if he knew that I was going to leave under pregnancy and asked him to promise that the Lin family had nothing to do with this child, he would be willing.

"As for why you don't just find someone else to marry into a marriage-" she became sad again, "I had a relationship with my husband after marriage. I admired his decisiveness and had advantages that he valued, but later he still fell in love with someone else?"

"I have no hope for men. In short, if I can give birth to children, whether men or women, I will cultivate her into heirs. I have no thoughts on other things. No matter how difficult the future is, I will continue to work hard."

The more she spoke, the lower her voice became. Her strong look was in contrast to her slender figure.

After listening to this passage, Zhao Su understood a little.

Even if her husband is so scumbag, it will be difficult to develop confidence in marriage in a short period of time. Moreover, there will definitely be no fewer orphans and widows who come to the door for bad ideas. This is the case with this. The so-called men with good character must be face and will never risk being accused of being greedy for money to marry into a family. Having a child in front of him, and waiting for him to grow up for a few years is indeed a good solution.

She thought for a while and said, "Will your parents-in-law agree to you to do this? What if you still don't want to be a snobbish infamy?"

"I already hold my father-in-law's handle. I will be polite first and then soldiers. If he insists on forcing others to make trouble, then the handle in my hand will be presented to my mother-in-law. He will not be willing to go that step."

Zhao Su couldn't help but say admiration.

This woman looks weak, but in fact she is confident and very independent. She is truly an outstanding woman who can take over the family business of the three docks.

As for this, I can’t help but help. She said, “I’ll go back and help you find Doctor Li. In less than three days, I’ll send you a message. If you’re lucky, I’ll bring him here to take your pulse.”

"That's great!" Wu Lanfeng straightened her back in an instant, "How do I thank you?"

"What are you thanking? It's just a little effort..." At this point, Zhao Su suddenly stopped and turned to her quickly: "You just said that you have three docks at your house?"

Wu Lanfeng also paused because of her change: "Yes."

"Can you build a sea boat?"

Wu Lanfeng smiled: "Half the dock in Dagu is built with canal ships and half of them are sea ships. There are many sea ships launched in our dock, and now there are several on the sea surface."

"Has any official from the Ministry of Works ever asked you?!"

Wu Lanfeng paused: "I have been out of the shop for more than a month and I don't know." After that, she asked: "What's wrong?"

Zhao Su grabbed the cup with a bright look and was already excited. If she guessed correctly, the dock where He Zong hit a wall as the emperor said was the dock of the Wu family!

She quickly put the cup down: "Can you do me a favor, too?"

Wu Lanfeng looked at her deeply: "You said!"
