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

After dinner, the family of four talked about tomorrow's arrangements. Tomorrow, your three uncles will come, and their mother will naturally explain it to them. Your three jobs are very simple, that is, to make preserved eggs tomorrow. You three only need to make preserved eggs. When you are done with preserved eggs, you can do other things at that time. The eggs are in my room, and you just need to drag them out tomorrow morning.

Early the next morning, just after Yuntao's family had finished breakfast, Tiezhu and Anniang had already arrived home.

"Yun Tao, we should do some work after getting your money. How can we take your money without doing any work?"

"It's just that you two are very honest. The stove for boiling lard is not ready yet. I need to trouble Brother Tiezhu to fix it. Besides, here is the lard. An Niang, you can do it. I'll go take care of other things."

In the morning, everyone started to do their own work and became busy.

When Yun Da, Yun Er and Yun San arrived, Yun Tao's house was already a scene of bustling activity.

Yun Er: "Brother, I feel that my sister's business is getting bigger and bigger. She has hired several people now. The daily expenditure is more than 100 Wen. She is much better than us brothers."

"Yes, my little sister has indeed grown up. It seems that without Sanli as the head of the family, life is getting better and better."

"Look at what you guys are saying. What do you mean by life is getting better without the head of the family? You're saying that my little sister is a good widow. It's true that my life is getting better after leaving Old Wang's family. Old Wang's family is full of vampires. What kind of life did my little sister live in their family before? She became skinny and bony."

Big brother, second brother, third brother, your task today is to make some bamboo tubes for me. I'll ask Sanniu to take you to our own mountain. The bamboo tubes have certain size requirements, and I'll tell you the size later.

Everyone had a clear division of labor, and after a whole day, Yun Da, Yun Er, and Yun San only made 100 bamboo tubes. This is a delicate job, and after finishing, they have to polish it, which is time-consuming and easy to hurt your hands.

An Niang, Tiezhu has boiled and filtered all the lard that was delivered today, so we can officially start work tomorrow.

Daniu: "Mom, we made so much lard today. Do we have to make it every day in the future?"

"That's right, Daniel. Actually, there isn't much pork for sale in town. You may think there's a lot, but in fact, we'll use it up very quickly. If we produce it in large quantities in the future, there won't be enough lard. But if you preserve it well after boiling it, it can be kept for a long time. You don't need to worry about this. Mom will teach you how to preserve lard in the future. It's just that the amount we use now is not much, so there's no need to preserve it for a long time. We'll start using it tomorrow."

You guys go and have a rest first. Mom will take inventory today so that she can arrange tomorrow's work.

Yuntao calculated the amount of lard she made every day. Today, she only boiled 200 kilograms of lard out of the 160 kilograms of lard she made. She asked her three brothers to take 10 kilograms of lard and a large basin of lard residue back home. There were still 150 kilograms of lard left. But she didn't know how many bars of soap she could make with this 150 kilograms. She would know only after the soap was made, and then she would calculate the cost in detail.

Today, I spent 10 coins on pork fat, 200 coins on labor, and 100 coins in total. At this rate, the money at home will not last long. Fortunately, the eggs can be taken out of the space, which saves me a lot of money. These villagers are short-sighted.

"Mom, I don't plan to go back to Mr. Wang's house. They are all perverts. Mom, if I stay here any longer, I will die."

"Taohua, if you don't go back, where can you go? You are now the eldest daughter-in-law of Mr. Wang's family. You eat well and live well. Look, you have servants serving you now. Our family, young and old, is still crowded in this shabby thatched house."

"Mom, please let me come back. You don't know that Mr. Wang's eldest son likes to beat people, and every time he beats someone, he beats them to death. Although he didn't get married before, he had many concubines, and none of his concubines are alive now. Mom, look at the wounds on my body, all of them."

After Taohua finished speaking, she took off all her clothes. Her body was covered with wounds, not a single healthy spot on it.

Taohua Niang took a breath when she saw it. My God, did your son-in-law beat you so hard?

"Yes, mother, I was beaten so hard that it hurts. My whole body hurts. Mother, you want to come back. Can we return the fifty taels of silver to Mr. Wang's family? If I were still in Mr. Wang's family, I would be beaten to death sooner or later. Besides, Mr. Wang's eldest son is a little mentally retarded and silly. He doesn't seem like a normal person."

When Taohua's mother heard that Taohua wanted them to return the silver, she thought that was absolutely impossible. Even if Taohua was beaten to death, she was not afraid. If she was beaten to death, she could just go to Wang Yuanwai's house and make a scene, asking them to pay compensation.

When Taohua came back, her maid brought back many gifts. Each gift was not cheap. The fabrics were worn by the family for several years. They also gave Taohua 2 taels of silver as money for her to go back to her parents' home. How could they let her come back with such a cash cow?

"Taohua, you have seen the conditions at home. If you come back, you will not only live a life of hunger and cold, but we will also have the money to return the fifty taels of silver to Mr. Wang's family. Your father was ill some time ago, and the family spent more than ten taels of silver. And your brother will be old enough to get married in a few years. We also plan to start repairing the house after the rainy season next month. Build a big tile house so that your brother can get married in the future."

"Mother, what about me? Are you going to watch me get beaten to death? What good will it do you if I die? Mother, I am also your daughter. I know I am not as precious as your brother, but I was also born from your belly. Can't you be nicer to me? I really can't stand it. Mother, please return the 50 taels of silver. I don't want to be a young lady anymore. Whoever wants to be one can be one. I don't want to be one anymore."

"Madam, it's almost dark. Let's go back quickly. Otherwise, if we go back late, the master and the mistress will blame us."

Taohua trembled all over when she heard what her maid Yangliu said. Yangliu looked like a maid, but she was actually sent by Wang Yuanwai to monitor Taohua. Everything Taohua did was in Yangliu's eyes.

"Taohua, go back quickly. Mother, I can't help you. When your father is well again, I will take him to visit you at Mr. Wang's residence. I will also talk to your mother-in-law while I'm at it."

Taohua, after hearing what her mother said, she understood that her mother was not willing to give her a penny. This was how her life would be. If she continued like this, she would be beaten to death sooner or later. In her parents' hearts, the most important person in the family was her younger brother, and the fate of the unmarried sisters in the family would be the same as hers.

Forget it, forget it. There’s nothing good about staying in a home like this. It’s all fate.
