Chapter 1061 Talking about the past (2)

In the first two years, relying on pawning these things, I can get by. Mrs. Shang takes care of Weng Gu at home, so she can study and prepare for the scientific examination at ease.

But as the days went by, the money became less and less, and he had to cut down on food and clothing, and the proprietress Shang's stomach hadn't moved in the past two years.

The in-laws didn't want to see her even more, and they even called her a hen that couldn't lay eggs when they spoke harsh words to each other. Even her husband-in-law failed to succeed after repeated attempts, and the in-laws also blamed her, saying that she was seducing her husband-in-law all day long. So he is not in the mood to read.

What's more, they were not allowed to live in the same room as husband and wife, and even her husband-in-law gradually became estranged from her.

The family spends money like water, the father-in-law is not involved in childbirth, and the parents-in-law have to take care of them. Seeing that the money pawned for jewelry has bottomed out, Mrs. Shang has to think of another way.

But at this time, her parents-in-law also had an idea, they only said that there are three ways to be unfilial and have no descendants, and they actually forced her to pay for a concubine for the husband-in-law, and the candidate for the concubine room was not someone else but her husband-in-law's cousin.

At this point, she realized that her mother-in-law didn't like her because her husband-in-law had been engaged to this cousin since she was a child, and she resigned from the cousin's engagement to marry her back then, and since then, her mother-in-law's natal family has also hated her mother-in-law. When she was in love, she would not give her a good face every time they met.

The mother-in-law originally thought that a girl from a rich family like her would be more or less considerate, even if she didn't have a dowry, she would have something to hang around.

But I don't want to have nothing but clothes and jewelry.

Back then, Mr. Shang prepared the shop for her, fearing that she would not be able to keep it, so he didn't give her the deed, but handed it over to a steward to keep it, and only said that the annual rented out income of the shop would be sent to her. It will be done.

But the shops in this town can't rent much, and her position is relatively remote. Every year, the silver taels are in her hands, and they are used by his husband-in-law to manage relationships, which is not enough at all.

It wasn't until her mother-in-law forced her to take a concubine for her husband on the grounds of not having children, that she finally came to her senses.

After Mr. Shang knew that she had figured it out, he asked the steward to return the title deed of the shop to her, and also helped her to open the shop.

Du Xiaozhu also sighed after hearing it. In the intermittent narration of Mrs. Shang, she seemed to see a young and young woman who regretted for life because of her infatuation and wrong payment.

It's just that when she looked at Mrs. Shang again, she found that she was talking about her own business, but she seemed to be telling someone else's story, calmly, maybe it started with her determination to tell the story , maybe since she decided to move from home to a shop, she has let go of that relationship.

Maybe when she thinks about it, maybe when she sees her nominal husband-in-law flirting with other women, there will be a bit of bitterness from the bottom of her heart, but she shouldn't feel heartache anymore.

She felt that Mrs. Shang's sister-in-law just needed an audience, and she didn't need her to comfort her, so she just sat there quietly and listened to her narration, without speaking from the beginning to the end.

Mrs. Shang seemed to be relieved when she finished talking about herself, she let out a long breath, and said, "It's pretty good now, he takes her as a concubine, and I live my life in the town. Water does not violate river water."

Having said that, Du Xiaozhu felt that it was not as easy as she said. This era is too harsh on women, and it is really not easy to keep the well water from breaking the river water, otherwise it would not be what it is today.
