Yang Dongshi immediately burst into loud weeping.
âCry, cry, any bit of good fortune you had has been cried away by you, you jinxâŠâ The cursing voice of Yang Anshi came from the main hall, âIf you want to cry to death, go back to the Dong Family village to cryâŠâ
But at this moment, Yang Dongshi didnât want to quiet down as she usually would.
Instead, she cried louder.
After all, she was out of options now.
Could they even deny her the right to cry?
Yang Anshi wanted to scold her some more, but was stopped by Yang Baifu as he entered the door: âMother, let her cry.
Once sheâs done, sheâll come to her senses.â
âWhatâs happened?â Yang Anshi frowned immediately.
âLvâs family wants her to be the principal wife,â Yang Baifu laughed hehe, âThat means this chicken that doesnât lay eggs has to move overâŠâ
âWhat?â Yang Peili, who was at the side smoking his pipe, suddenly looked up, âNo, sheâs a widowâŠâ
âWhat about a widow?
A widow can bear me a sonâŠâ Yang Baifu insisted, neck stiffened, âHow big and round is Lvâs familyâs buttocks?
She is definitely destined to bear sons.
I donât care, I canât be without a sonâŠâ He paused for a moment, âIf Yang Dongshi could bear a son, then I wouldnât have looked for another wifeâŠâ
Yang Peili wanted to say something more, but then he felt that his son might be making sense, so he shut his mouth.
âHaving no son and still occupying the pit without shitting, such a one is worthy of divorce,â Yang Anshi snapped her eyelids, âBut Laosi, even if you must take another wife, take a pure maiden, not that Lv widowâŠâ
âI just like her,â Yang Baifu hurriedly interjected, âIn this life, I will marry no one but her.
If you all donât agreeâŠ
thenâŠ
then Iâll jump into the riverâŠâ
âYouâŠâ Yang Anshi was suddenly speechless, and after a long while, she just gave her son a stern look, âSo accomplished you areâŠâ
âHeihei,â Yang Baifu suddenly moved closer and took Yang Anshiâs arm, âMother, I know you love your son, so just agree to itâŠâ
âAlright, alright, I will go along with you,â Yang Anshi sighed helplessly and finally nodded her head.
âThen, mother, give me some silver,â Yang Baifu stretched out his hand.
âWhat do you need silver for?â Yang Anshi frowned, âEven if sheâs to be the principal wife, thereâs no need for a grand ceremony for a widow, just make do with two tables tomorrowâŠâ
âHow could that be okay?â Yang Baifu shook his head, âI canât treat her unfairly, I have to at least get a decent bride price, donât I?â
âNot tomorrowâŠâ
âTaking a concubine, tomorrow would suffice, but not for taking a wife,â Yang Baifu waved his hand, âWeâve discussed it, letâs do it at the end of the month.
That would give us more time.â
Yang Anshi raised her hand and poked at the pouch Yang Baifu was carrying: âLook at youâŠâ But in the end, she relented and pulled out three ounces of silver.
âMother, how can three ounces of silver be enough?â Yang Baifu looked disdainfully, âAt least five ounces is neededâŠâ
There was no helping it.
Though Yang Anshi was reluctant, in the end, she was worn down by Yang Baifuâs insistence and gave him five ounces.
Yang Baifu then happily went out again.
The old widower had bought Lvâs family a silver hairpin, so he couldnât be outdone â he had to buy an even bigger oneâŠ
Meanwhile, the weeping in the side room had stopped.
Dongshi knew crying to death wouldnât get anyoneâs attention; her heart had turned completely cold.
But what was she to do?
What could she do?
âMother, letâs go find eldest sisterâŠâ Daya, who had been hugging her younger sister in the corner, came over and tugged at Yang Dongshiâs sleeve.
