Chapter 750: Chapter 750: Fate Without Having Sons

Lin Caisang: "..."

Why should she believe that Liu Yushui asking Zhou Liang for money is inappropriate?

In fact, she feels that asking Zhou Liang for fifty taels of silver is too little; it lets the riff-raff of the Zhou family off too cheaply.

"This is your problem, I have no right to intervene."

"In fact, the amount I used to spend on Zhou Liang was even more. When I was with the Liu family, I had at least ten taels of silver to spend each month, most of which was spent on Zhou Liang."

Liu Yushui scoffed as she thought about the foolish things she had done in the past.

"Compared to that, taking fifty taels from the Zhou family now isn’t much."

"Why didn’t you ask for more?" Lin Caisang asked.

In that way, the two children could live a bit better, right?

"I did ask for more, I asked for five hundred taels. But alas, Madam Zhou would rather me abort the child in my womb than give me that much. She only allowed Zhou Liang to give me fifty, under the condition that I sever all ties with the Zhou family from now on."

Liu Yushui commented.

Having no ties with the Zhou family hereafter, isn’t that exactly what she was striving for? Who would want to connect with a riff-raff like Zhou Liang anyway?

Hearing this, Lin Caisang raised an eyebrow.

"So, you never let Zhou Liang know that you had given birth to two daughters for him?" she asked.

"Why would I inform him? These two kids are my own, what relation do they have with him? Is someone like him even fit to be a father?" Liu Yushui sneered coldly and asked Lin Caisang in turn.

Lin Caisang: "..."

Indeed, with his attitude, Zhou Liang truly does not qualify!

"I told Zhou Liang on the day that I lost the child, and he believed me." Liu Yushui continued.

Lin Caisang: "!!!"

She never knew this. Brother Molian didn’t mention this to her either.

"Qianlin County is only so big, Ya Village is not isolated from the world. Some families still have interactions with the Zhou family, and sooner or later, they will find out." She reminded Liu Yushui.

"So what if they do find out? Would the Zhou family care about two girls? What they want is a son who can continue their lineage." Liu Yushui curled her pale lips with disdain.

She knew this from the moment Zhou Liang started prattling about wanting a son.

"But what if Zhou Liang is destined not to have a son?" Lin Caisang asked her back.

"What do you mean?"

Liu Yushui was surprised and immediately turned to ask Lin Caisang.

How could Zhou Liang not have a son? He had openly declared that he would marry many women and father many sons. He could even raise them at the knee of his legitimate wife.

"Do you think that the daughter of the local governor Zhou Liang is going to marry is such a good girl?" Lin Caisang laughed lightly and asked her.

"She..."

"She had an illicit affair and got pregnant. After getting an abortion, her body is too weak to bear children anymore. Moreover, the governor’s daughter is the epitome of selfishness. How could she possibly tolerate Zhou Liang having other women by his side?"

Lin Caisang commented.

"She...how could... but Zhou Liang clearly said... said that the governor’s daughter promised him that she would let him take several concubines in the future." Liu Yushui mumbled.

Previously, Zhou Liang had guaranteed her as much, even promising her a good life, as long as she was willing to follow him without name or status, he would take care of everything.

So, were all those promises a lie, made only to entice her into giving birth to what he believed to be his son?

"She was desperate to marry off, fearing that if she waited any longer, her secret would get out, and then she wouldn’t be able to find a good family."

Lin Caisang explained.
