The lady escaped marriage and became addicted

Chapter 645 It's Like This (6)
On the one hand, the Zhou family encouraged their children to study and take the imperial examinations (the Sui Dynasty did not have too many restrictions on merchants participating in the imperial examinations), and on the other hand, they invested in advance, focusing on the children of poor families.The Qian family, whose family is in trouble, is an important investment for them.

Seeing that the Qian family was overcoming difficulties with the help of the Zhou family, Mr. Qian was about to take the provincial examination, and when the result was about to pass, the daughter of the Zhou family resigned the marriage. How could the Zhou family be happy?
The two elders of the Zhou family were worried that the family would blame their daughter for ruining the family affairs, and they also knew that after the news of the divorce got out, their daughter would be gossiped in Yuhang, so they asked her to go to the grandfather's house in Yuezhou for a period of time early this morning with the Zhou family's passenger ship. Go back when things calm down.Unexpectedly, something happened to the boat while it was in Hangzhou Bay.

At this time, everyone on the sea was rescued.Zhou Zhihui changed her clothes and went out to check the situation with her wet hair loose. Shen Yi and Yulan couldn't stop her.

Shen Yi knew that Zhou Zhihui's reputation was already bad because of her resignation, and she encountered a shipwreck and was rescued from the sea by a man. She didn't know what kind of gossip would come up. At this time, it was too late for the smart girl to hide. Unexpectedly, Zhou Zhihui went out with disheveled hair.

Zhou Zhihui bowed to Shen Yi and said, "Thank you, aunt, for your concern and teaching. However, something like this happened to our Zhou family's passenger ship. Although I am a woman, I am also a member of the Zhou family. How can I stay out of it? Reputation or something, I was originally I don’t really care about it, it’s a big deal, I’m going to become a monk and practice together with my master.”

Shen Yi wanted to persuade her again, but An Ran nodded and said: "Aunt Biao, let her go! Zhihui is a responsible girl, which is admirable. Such a good girl will definitely be happy."

Zhou Zhihui looked at An Ran gratefully, nodded to her, and walked out quickly.

The Zhou family's business is very big, mainly doing ocean trade. The Zhou family has two fleets to do business in the East and Southeast Asia.The Zhou family also has quite a few shops in the south of the Yangtze River, involving gold, silver and jade, cloth, tea, porcelain, transportation and so on.

The passenger ships used by the Zhou family for water transportation were eliminated from the Zhou family's sea-going ships to Nanyang. Generally speaking, the performance is still good.Every ship has been overhauled regularly. Over the years, there have been accidents on ocean-going merchant ships, but there has never been an accident on offshore passenger ships.

Today, the ship carried more than 300 passengers, but only more than 100 people were rescued, and the vast majority of those who died were women and children.Needless to say, this was a huge shipwreck.

When Zhou Zhihui heard the captain's statistics, her eyes were red and shed tears on the spot.

Suddenly, someone among the weeping and complaining people who had just been rescued and gathered on the deck pointed at Zhou Zhihui and shouted, "Look, that's the girl from the Zhou family!"

"It was Zhou's outdated sea boat that carried passengers that killed our relatives!"

"Black-hearted businessman! He doesn't care about our life or death just to make money..."

"Find her to compensate our relatives! Compensate our losses!"

"You pay my daughter-in-law!"

"You pay my son!"

"The members of the Zhou family will die!"

Seeing Zhou Zhihui come out and knowing her identity, the people who were rescued were furious, and they all cried out for the Zhou family to pay for their relatives and property...

Today there is no storm in the sea, but the ship sank. The problem is naturally on the ship. Once someone starts, no one behind will be able to control it.The people were incited by these words, and immediately vented all their sadness and anger on the Zhou family.

At this moment, no one cared that Zhou Zhihui was just a girl of the Zhou family, not in charge of the family business, and she was a victim just like them, lucky enough to be rescued from the sea just now.They only thought of their own grief and pain, so they wanted the Zhou family who had caused them such pain and pain to pay for their lives.

Zhou Zhihui knelt down facing the wrecked sea, kowtowed three times, then got up and said loudly with red eyes: "Fathers, folks, please be quiet! Please rest assured, all the victims of this shipwreck, as well as yours For any loss, our Zhou family will compensate everyone..."

"Compensation? What do you use to compensate? Do you think your Zhou family can compensate the lives of our loved ones with a few bad money?"

"Yes! Don't want their stinky money, let them pay for their lives!"

"Seal the Zhou family's boat! Don't let them continue to harm people!"

"Yes, seal their Zhou family's boat! Let them pay for their lives! These unscrupulous businessmen can't be taken advantage of!"

When Zhou Zhihui said that the Zhou family would pay compensation, most of the people fell silent.But then someone instigated and instigated them, and they became agitated again.That's right, even if the Zhou family lost money, their relatives were gone.Yes, it can't be so cheap, the Zhou family!

Seeing that her emotions were out of control again, Zhou Zhihui could only comfort her: "Fathers and folks, I can understand the pain of losing a loved one. The maid who accompanied me for ten years also died..."

It's a pity that the angry boat passengers didn't give Zhou Zhihui a chance to explain and appease her. If the sailors and guards on Yang Yan's boat didn't stop her, they would rush over and tear Zhou Zhihui's body to pieces.

"What do you know? You black-hearted businessmen!"

"Your maid is dead, why aren't you dead?"

"Tell her what to do, these black-hearted businessmen never take the lives of our poor people as human lives!"

Ling Yun frowned for a while, then suddenly flew into the noisy crowd and threw five of them out.He has been observing for a while, and these people have always been inciting troubles.However, the eyes of these few people did not show much sadness of losing their loved ones, only fierce and cold.

"You, what are you doing?"

"What do you want?"

"Why don't we talk?"

"Could it be that you and the Zhou family are in the same group?"

Suddenly being caught out, a little panic flashed in the eyes of several people, but they quickly hid themselves, shouting loudly to arouse the sympathy of others.

"You are friends of the Zhou family, aren't you?"

"You want to help the Zhou family bully us?"

"Folks, look! The Zhou family is going to kill people!"
