After the marriage was broken off, the husband's family regretted it

"Mother, you are right. It is indeed not bad. As long as I give birth to a boy, I will definitely gain a foothold in that family."

Zhaodi: "Lihua, you've figured it out. You don't blame me anymore, right? I'm really doing this for your own good. As long as you don't blame me, everything will be fine. You will always be my daughter."

Lihua: "Mom, why should I blame you? I'm going to that family. You're right, those girls are going to be married off. Just send them out as soon as possible. And they can do some farm work. I just want to find a caring husband."

"Didn't you say that it was enough? There are more pomegranates than you can eat at home. It seems that his family is still very well off. When the pomegranates are ripe, I can bring back a lot of pomegranates for my mother to eat, as well as my unmarried sisters and my brother."

Zhaodi looked at Lihua guiltily and said nothing more.

Lihua looked at her mother and said, "You choose the date."

Zhaodi: "The date is next week. The matchmaker said that next week is a good date, which is about seven days later. It is an auspicious day, and the fortune teller said that you are more likely to have a son if you get married at that time. So the man also thinks that date is good, and now we have tentatively decided on that date."

Lihua looked at what Zhaodi said with great joy.

Lihua: "Mom, we don't lack money now, and you have saved a lot of money for your brother. If I'm not mistaken, you bought a four-courtyard house for your brother in town. You want me to get married, and I have nothing to say. But I only have one small request, which is that I need 20 taels of silver."

Zhaodi's voice got louder: "You silly girl, why do you want 20 taels of silver? It's not safe for a girl like you to hold so much silver. I'll keep it for you, and I'll give it to you when you get married."

Lihua looked at her disgusted mother and said, "Mom, I want it now. You should have received more than 50 taels of silver from my future husband. My elder sister and Huaihua also received more than 50 taels of silver. Besides, their family is well-off. You said it yourself. They don't have to worry about food and clothing. But if I marry them, I will still be a village woman, a peasant. My children will also be peasants in the future."

"So you have to compensate me. 20 taels of silver is not a lot for you now. You can take it out easily. Mother, don't think I don't know how much money you have saved. You won't lose anything by giving me 20 taels. At least I won't be as heartless as my elder sister. I will still come back to see you often."

Zhaodi: "You silly girl, I have your brother, why do I need you to come back to see me? What's the matter? You come back to ask for money with your burden, don't you?"

Lihua: "Just tell me whether you will give it to me or not. If you don't, I won't marry you. If you want to marry, just go ahead and marry yourself."

Zhaodi: "You, you really have grown wings, you are incredible, right?"

Lihua said firmly: "You give it or not,"

Zhaodi was helpless. She had already received 100 taels of money from the family. If she didn't hand over the person, she might be beaten to death. She would definitely not end up well.

If he was fine, something would happen to his son. He was so cruel that he had beaten his three wives to death. It would be better to hand over such a brutal man as soon as possible so that everything would be over once and for all.

Zhaodi gritted her teeth and said, "I will give it to you, but don't play any tricks on me, otherwise I will make you suffer. I will then sell you to a brothel and let you be a prostitute with your jade arms pillowed by thousands of people and your red lips tasted by thousands of people. Don't forget, I am your mother, and no one dares to say anything if I sell you to a brothel. Just consider it as your contribution to our family, Lihua."

When Lihua heard this, she became more determined in her thinking.

"Mom, I have been the one who listens to you the most among the sisters since I was a child. I want 20 taels of silver. I just want to have some money to rely on in my husband's family. After all, I will be more confident if I have money. My husband will also look at me more favorably. And I also want to buy some good rouge and powder when I get married."

When Zhaodi heard Lihua say this, she recalled that Lihua was the most timid since she was young. Although she was a bit harsh, she was also the one who listened to her the most.

This little money is really nothing for the current family. It can be easily taken out. Just give her 20 taels and let her buy some good rouge and powder. It will be face-saving for her to marry. After she marries, let her husband take care of her, and he will naturally take care of her.

After Zhaodi figured it out, she readily gave Lihua 20 taels of silver.

Lihua was very happy to see the money in her hands, and she went back home on her own.

Mom, I'm going to town to buy some rouge and powder tomorrow. Would you like to come with me?

Zhaodi originally wanted to agree, but then she thought that if she went, she would have to pay the money herself. Thinking about Lihua's performance just now, she didn't worry that Lihua would do anything weird.

Zhaodi: "I'm not going. You go by yourself. Go early and come back early. Lihua, you'd better not do anything weird."

Lihua: "Mother, what can I do? The conditions of the man's family are also good, but there are too many daughters. Fortunately, they are all daughters, no sons, and girls are supposed to get married. It doesn't matter who they marry. A farm girl like me, how can I marry into a good family? My daughter knows it very well, don't worry, mother."

"Just for your 20 taels of silver, I won't run away."

Zhaodi was very satisfied with Lihua's performance.

Lihua stayed awake all night.

The next morning Lihua got up early, said hello to Zhaodi, and went to town.

At the beginning, Zhaodi followed Lihua and indeed saw Lihua visiting a girls' rouge and powder store and buying some things. She also saw Lihua go to a ready-made clothing store and she went into the shop next door.

Lihua watched her mother enter the shop next door and hurried to her elder sister Taohua's house.

Lihua found Taohua and directly explained the cause and effect of the matter.

Taohua was so angry that her chest was shaking. "Mother, it's really getting too much. She's really addicted to selling her daughters, right? None of us sisters had a good ending. Lihua and Huaihua are dead now, and I'm a widow now. What about you? Are you really planning to marry into that family?"

Lihua: "Big sister, I just don't want to marry him, so I came to find you. I was so scared. My mother accepted so much money from them, and they were willing to give it. This also shows that the family is not a good family. The sons of good families will not worry about not being able to marry a wife."

Taohua: "It's good that you know. They are indeed not a good family."

"Lihua, it all depends on whether you are brave enough to leave this home."

Lihua: "Big sister, I just want to get away from this family. I want to run away. I want to run away so far that you can never find me. Even if my life is not good, it is better than staying in this family."

The peach blossoms whispered in the pear blossoms' ears.

It was already dark, and Zhaodi hadn't seen Lihua come back yet, so she started to get anxious.
