She liked children. After she married Hei Gang, she had always wanted a child. Unfortunately, after working hard for so long, she still could not get pregnant. At this moment, when she heard that the children of Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife were so obedient at such a young age, her heart ached for those two children. Children were all mischievous. How could they be born so obedient? Sensibility at a young age iis often forced by life.
“How can you let the two children watch over him? You’d better go back and take care of Fourth Uncle Lin yourself.” Zhou Shi said.
Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife’s face turned pale.
“You…you don’t want me anymore?” Tears immediately welled up in her eyes. As expected, she shouldn’t have suddenly skipped work yesterday.
Great. Madam Zhou didn’t want her to stay in the workshop. What would happen to their family in the future?
Zhou Shi was stunned.
“What do you mean I don’t want you? I’ll give you two days off so that you can go back and take good care of your husband. Come back when he’s better.” She said.
Seeing Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife crying tears of joy, Zhou Shi was speechless.
She was really good at imagining things.
“At least wait until he can eat and drink on his own. No matter how obedient and sensible your two children are, how much help can they help with their small size?” Zhou Shi said.

“Meal time is short.”
“Don’t tell me that you asked the two children to cook.”
Zhou Shi looked at Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife in annoyance.
“Even if you can make it back in time to cook. Don’t forget that he is still injured. How could he recover so quickly if he doesn’t eat properly?”
“I’ll give you two more days off so that you can take care of your husband.
Secondly, it’s also to let you deal with your family matters properly.”
“If we don’t have enough manpower, we’ll ask for help.”
“Isn’t Madam Wang on good terms with your family? Can’t you ask her family to cook more food for your family? Just give her some money.”
Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife was touched.
“Yes, 1-1 understand.” Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife hurriedly bowed to Zhou Shi. Zhou Shi glanced at Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife and her expression softened. “Alright. Don’t worry too much.”
“I’ve already heard about your family from Madam Wang.”
“If you really want to build a house, 1 can lend you 60 taels of silver.” Zhou Shi suddenly said.
Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife was stunned.
Seeing this, Zhou Shi cleared her throat awkwardly.
“Cough, of course, the money isn’t borrowed for nothing.” She continued.
Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife looked terrified and couldn’t say a word. She just bowed and didn’t dare to look at Zhou Shi.
“Next, you’ll have to use your wages to pay off the debt.”
“No matter how much you earn every month, deduct 1 or 2 taels of silver from it. Until you pay off your debts.”
Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife was overjoyed.
According to her current working situation in the workshop, she could earn 70 to 130 wen a day. On average, it was more than 100 wen per day. Her monthly salary was about 3 taels of silver.
As for the Zhou Shi, she only asked her to pay 1 or 2 taels of silver each month. This way, she would still have more than half of her salary left.
The remaining money was enough to support their family of four. Not to mention, her husband could at least earn some money.
Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife hesitated.
Finally, she said, “Paying back 1 to 1.5 taels a month is too little. I’ll pay…2, oh no, 2.5 taels every month!”
Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife looked at Zhou Shi in embarrassment.

Zhou Shi was slightly shocked.
Then, she looked at Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife with a more amiable expression.
She said that she wanted to lend money, but she didn’t mention interest. Most people would probably be eager to pay off the money as soon as possible when they encountered such a situation.
She actually proposed to pay her more every month.
“Alright, then pay me 2.5 taels of silver every month.”
“In two years, your debt will be paid off.”
When Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife heard this, she frowned.
“W-we’ve got some extra cabbages to sell. Can I pay you back extra?” Then, she said to Zhou Shi.
She didn’t have the habit of owing people money.
There was no other way now. They wanted to build a house, so they could only ask Zhou Shi for help.
However, the sooner the debt was paid off, the better.
The corners of Zhou Shi’s mouth curled up.
“Sure. However, you have to pay me back in taels every time. I can’t be bothered
to calculate how many copper coins there are..”
