The eldest daughter's in-laws were playing mahjong at some other family's house.
Upon hearing the news, they rushed back.
One face turned purple with rage.
"Get out, all of you get out, what are you looking at?"
Seeing her in-laws return, Wu's old mother immediately stopped crying.
She couldn't let her in-laws know she was there to take their money.
"What are you doing here? Your own mother is losing face, how can you let your daughter live in this village?"
The eldest's husband stepped forward, furious beyond words.
Though the villagers all favored boys over girls,
they all ruthlessly exploited their daughters for money.
But the key was to do it quietly, and they also made sure their daughters got along well with their in-laws.
They had never seen the Wu Family so shameless,
coming over so brazenly to ask for money.
Scolded by her son-in-law like that, Wu's old mother's face also turned red with shame.
But she still had to figure out a solution for her son.
