Li Taohua was reluctant to exchange Qin Huiyin's clothes for Wandou, so she took her oldest clothes to see Wang.

Qin Huiyin stood by the wall, listening to the conversation on the other side of the wall.

"Thirty pounds? Your clothes are so tattered, and you want to exchange them for thirty pounds of peas. Wow, your clothes are really precious. We can't afford them."

Wang hung the washed clothes in the yard and said some sarcastic words.

"Aunt, this dress of mine doesn't even have a patch. With this kind of material, this kind of style, and this kind of stitching, a ready-made shop would sell it for 150 wen."

"Yes, the clothing store sells it for 150 coins, but are they selling used clothes? They are made of brand new fabrics, not even wet. We are all poor and cannot afford such fine clothes. Huiyin, you should take your clothes and leave. I have a lot of work to do here and I don't have time to waste with you."

Li Taohua curled her lips and said reluctantly, "Then how many kilograms of peas do you think would be appropriate?"

"Well..." Wang looked back and said without much interest, "Five pounds, maybe!"

"Five catties? Ten cents?" Li Taohua's face darkened. "Do you think I'm a rag?"

"Mother Huiyin, the clothes you've worn are worse than rags! I have some unpleasant things to say, and I didn't want to say them, but since you're so ignorant, I'll just say them straight out. Look at your fate. The first man died, and a disaster struck your hometown, forcing you to flee to our place with your daughter. The second man was the hunter Song. He was living well before you came, but he died the following year after you married him. I won't go into detail about the third one, as you know it well. Your fate is so unlucky that anyone who comes into contact with you is afraid of bad luck. Who would dare to use anything you've used?"

"You..." Li Taohua's beautiful eyes were filled with rage. "Sister Wang, if you don't want to change, then don't change. There's no need to say all this, right? How could I not know what you were thinking? You originally wanted to introduce the girl whose husband had died to Tang Dafu, but Tang Dafu didn't like her and fell in love with me instead. You're so upset, you hold a grudge against me, and you're always looking for trouble with me."

"Bah, who told you that? My youngest sister is so well-off, how could she be interested in Tang Dafu? Only a slut like you could be interested in that unlucky Tang Dafu. Look, you're in trouble right after getting married, aren't you? There's no good end for a lustful man."

"Who do you say is a slut and who is the unlucky guy? I'm going to tear your mouth apart." Li Taohua pounced on him angrily.

Wang was a strong woman, and Li Taohua pounced on her and pushed her to the ground, and soon they started fighting.

Qin Huiyin noticed something was wrong when the two were arguing more and more fiercely, and hurried over to stop them, but she was still a step too late. When she arrived, they were already tearing each other apart.

"Mom, stop hitting me..."

"Aunt Wang, if you tear my mother's clothes again, you'll have to pay her fifty kilograms of peas as compensation."

Wang snorted, "Pooh, you've gone crazy because you're poor!"

"Mr. Wang, if you dare to catch my daughter, I will fight you." Li Taohua saw Wang's nails leaving a claw mark on Qin Huiyin's neck, and she was pulling her hair like crazy.

"What's wrong with you?" Wang's man Tang Jiang came back carrying a hoe, and hurried over to persuade them to stop fighting when he saw the situation.

Tang Jiang hugged Wang and said to Li Taohua and Qin Huiyin, "Hurry up and leave."

Seeing this, Wang screamed in anger and cursed, "You cheap man, you don't help your wife but help outsiders. Are you also bewitched by this vixen and can't walk?"

"Mother Kui'er, could you please stop messing around? We're from the same family as Dafu, and we live close to each other. Why can't we just talk it out peacefully? Why do you have to make it so awkward?"

"Tang Dafu is not dead yet, and you want to flirt with that vixen now. Aren't you afraid that I will chop you into pieces?" Wang's scolding became more and more fierce and outrageous.

Li Taohua returned to her own courtyard and shot back from the other side of the wall, "Mr. Wang, you are blind. I won't be picky anymore and won't eat anything your wife Wang vomits. It's disgusting."

"Li Taohua, if you dare to step into my house again, I will throw shit all over you."

"Bah, who wants to go to your house? Even if you beg me on your knees, I won't step foot into your house."

"Haha, thank God for your blessing. Otherwise, if a jinx like you had stepped into my family's door, my family would have been in trouble."

Seeing that Li Taohua was so angry that her chest hurt, Qin Huiyin quickly pulled her into the house.

She knew that Li Taohua was in a bad mood, and if she took her to Tang Dafu at this time, Tang Dafu would be the one who would suffer. She pulled Li Taohua into her and Tang Luwu's room.

"It's useless to blame me, blame me..." Li Taohua hugged Qin Huiyin and started crying. "My dear, is mom really a jinx? Why does everyone I marry always have bad luck?"

"If you have this ability, the court should use you greatly. If they make you a princess and send you to a neighboring country to marry, wouldn't that neighboring country collapse on its own? If you really have such power, then you will be a hero throughout the country!"

"You naughty girl, when did you learn these tricks to fool people?" Li Taohua burst into laughter. "Luckily, Mom still has you, otherwise life would be so boring."

"Mom, everything will be fine in the future. Let's live a good life and let everyone in the village see that you, Li Taohua, are never a plague god." Qin Huiyin said.

"What about the peas? I was thinking of exchanging some for you. No matter what you want to eat or do, I should satisfy you. But now that this has happened, I'm afraid the whole village won't be willing to exchange for peas."

"Why don't we go to a pawnshop?" Qin Huiyin asked, "My clothes are so new, they should be able to fetch a lot of money if they are pawned at a pawnshop, right?"

"You're right." Li Taohua nodded, got off the bed, and walked outside. "Wait here for me, I'll go look for it."

Li Taohua returned to her room.

Tang Dafu was sitting on the bed, weaving a bamboo basket. When he saw Li Taohua return to the room, he looked at her anxiously: "Taohua, are you okay?"

Li Taohua was rummaging through something and said unhappily, "Is there something wrong? Can't you hear me?"

"Blame me. I've wronged you." Although Tang Dafu is no longer young, one can vaguely see the shadow of his youth.

Compared to the peasants in the village, he was indeed handsome. Otherwise, even if he had two taels of silver a month, Li Taohua would never have married him. Li Taohua was still very concerned about appearance.

Li Taohua originally wanted to make a few sarcastic remarks, but when she thought of what her daughter said and that she would be living in the Tang family for a long time in the future, she took back the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

She took out three sets of clothes she didn't like wearing, as well as a solid silver hairpin, and said, "My family couldn't make ends meet, so I pawned these. Don't say from now on that I, Li Taohua, only know how to suck your blood, Tang Dafu. I also want to live a good life with you."
