Chapter 22: Chapter 22 Unpleasantness_1

Walking home, Lady Li was rushing over at breakneck speed, her face deathly pale, "Mother, you weren't taken advantage of, were you?"

Lady Li was truly frightened. This year, Mother-in-law couldn't do any heavy work; she had no strength at all. How could she win against Wang Zhang's wife? If something really happened to Mother-in-law, would the eunuch not have to follow her in death?

She had thought about living separately and getting by on her own. But she wasn't foolish. With two younger brothers-in-law yet to be married and a younger sister-in-law waiting to be wed, plus the children being so young, all of these required money. If the in-laws were gone, everything would fall on her and her husband's shoulders. With too many dependents, they would surely be worked to death.
