Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 1440 Maid's Fate 13
Zhou's father was very good at making excuses for himself, saying that he lost anyway. If he didn't lose, his father's money would have been used by others, so he might as well spend it. At least it would rot in his own family.

His original mother and grandmother actually agreed with his nonsense and allowed him to gamble everywhere.

From this we can see that the original body's mother and grandmother were both idiots.

They were afraid that the original grandfather's money was spent on other women or sons born to other women, so they thought they could find a way to ask the original grandfather for money. What was the big deal about letting their sons go gambling?

Don’t they understand that gambling is impossible to quit?

When the original body's grandfather passes away and the original body's father takes over the family, he has been gambling all the time, so won't they be the ones who are unlucky?
These two people obviously didn't think much about it and just wanted to get more money from their father-in-law (husband).

Since his wife and mother both agreed to Zhou's father's gambling, the original father naturally gambled heavily.

After losing the bet, he came back to ask his original grandfather for money. When his original grandfather refused to give him money, he asked his original grandmother and mother for it.

After he had spent all of their money and couldn't get any more, he started selling his daughter.

——That is to say, when the original body was sold, the original body's family actually still had some money, but Grandfather Zhou was unwilling to take out the money.

When selling her, he still argued that his daughter would marry someone else when she grew up anyway, and would be sold sooner or later, so there was nothing wrong with selling her now.

After all his daughters were sold, he was willing to sell even his sons, and in the end only his eldest son was left at home to carry on the family line.

After that, when he ran out of money to gamble again, he would borrow money from loan sharks.

In his opinion, since his father would not give him money for gambling anyway, he could just borrow money from a loan shark. When it was time to pay it back, he could ask the loan shark to ask his father for the money. Wouldn't that mean that the money was being taken from his father in disguise? Isn't that good?
But how much money could his father have?

The Zhou family's financial situation had already declined drastically when his father was in charge. Now both father and son have squandered their fortune. How much money can they have left to squander?
So not long after, when the loan shark came to the door, he took out the last bit of money that Grandfather Zhou had.

He didn't want to pay, as he wanted to keep the money for himself, but those loan sharks were as fierce as wolves and tigers and very scary. Even if Grandfather Zhou didn't want to pay, he had no choice. So, naturally, the last bit of money in the family was taken away completely.

Even if he had taken out all the money, Grandfather Zhou still lived a carefree life. When he was a child, his family was well off. He grew up in such a relatively good family and was accustomed to living a good life. It would definitely not work for him to live a hard life. Even if he had no money, he wanted to live a carefree life.

He borrowed money from everywhere and couldn't pay it back, so he went to his daughter's family for help to pay off the debt.

Grandfather Zhou was better, at least he had some moderation. But father Zhou was terrible. Even when he had no money, he still borrowed money from loan sharks to gamble because he was used to it and would feel uncomfortable if he didn't gamble.

The only good thing is that loan sharks also want to get their money back, and they already know that Zhou's father has sold all his children. Although Zhou's mother looks okay, she has been overworked for many years and has become very old. If there is no money, she can't be used to pawn her off. Zhou's grandfather also has no money, which means that it is difficult to get the money back if you lend money to Zhou's father. Therefore, no one lends money to Zhou's father. After all, no one wants to waste money. Therefore, although Zhou's father has always wanted to gamble, no one lends him money, so apart from being penniless, he doesn't owe too much debt.

Zhou's father wanted his only son, the original eldest brother, to quickly find a wife so that he could have children and sell them to make money. However, the Zhou family was extremely poor, and no one would marry their daughter to the eldest brother. Therefore, the eldest brother is now in his twenties, and no one is willing to marry him.

Even though Brother Zhou might be the most normal one in the Zhou family and was hardworking and willing to do his job, no one was willing to marry him.

It is normal for Brother Zhou to be hardworking and diligent, because he grew up in an environment with an unreliable grandfather and an unreliable father. Children of poor families have to take on responsibilities early and mature early, so naturally they start working early.

But unfortunately, no matter how hard he worked, it was useless because any money he earned would be taken away by Zhou's father for gambling.

In the past few years, he was getting older and older, but he still couldn't get married. His mother and grandmother became anxious and asked him to save the money he earned and not give it to his father so that he could get married. Only then did Brother Zhou save some money.

Of course, it would have been useless for his mother and grandmother to say such things before, because he was young and Zhou's father was young and strong. Even if he was unwilling to give him the money, he couldn't, because Zhou's father could rob him of his money.

Brother Zhou is young and strong now. On the contrary, Father Zhou is already over 40 years old and is naturally no match for Brother Zhou. Even if he wanted to rob, he couldn't. It was only useful for his mother and grandmother to say this.

This is the current situation of the Zhou family. Both Grandfather Zhou and Father Zhou owe some debts. Eldest Brother Zhou wants to get married, but given the family's situation, no one is willing to marry into the Zhou family. Then the Zhou family is so poor that they have nothing but walls, because all the land has been sold. If the deed to the old house was not in the hands of Grandfather Zhou, and Grandfather Zhou was not as crazy as Father Zhou, so he did not sell it, otherwise they would have no place to live.

Because the family didn't even have any land, Zhou's mother and grandmother could only earn some food by renting some land from other people.

If it weren't for Brother Zhou earning some money for the three of them to use, the two of them would have starved to death because they couldn't earn much food from renting other people's land.

But now this is also very fragile because their income is too low and their ability to withstand risks is too weak.

Just when the Zhou family was about to die due to a natural disaster or man-made calamity, an unexpected surprise pie fell on their heads. It was said that one of their daughters who had been sold before had become rich and became the prince's concubine. Someone wanted to take them to the capital to find their relatives and let them live a rich and powerful life from then on.

When the Zhou family heard the news, they were naturally unwilling.

Not to mention that they had no money, Zhou's father and grandfather, who were looking for money, immediately packed their bags and prepared to go to the capital when they heard about this. Even Zhou's mother and grandmother wanted to go to the capital to enjoy themselves.

These two people felt no guilt for selling their original bodies. It was normal for them to want to enjoy themselves after hearing about it. Just looking at the fact that they did not stop Zhou's father from selling his original bodies, and thought that Zhou's father was right to gamble and take all the money from Zhou's grandfather, we can tell that these two people were stupid and bad. Naturally, they would not feel any guilt for selling their original bodies. They even felt that if they had not sold Linlang, how could Linlang have become rich if she stayed at home, and they felt that they had done Linlang a favor.

This argument of Zhou's mother and grandmother was not accepted by Zhou's eldest brother either. He also felt that it was the right thing to do to sell his sister, as it was better than living a hard life at home.
