About This Novel
Wu Yutang suddenly suffered a stroke and died one day. None of the three sons lived up to expectations, and the family business plummeted. After his wife Liu Caixia also died, the three sons separated. Because he didn't manage his business well, he owed huge debts and even sold his customers' rice to pay off the debts. He was jailed for this. In the end, he was declared bankrupt and all his belongings were moved away by his creditors. Liu Fanghua's life was not settled, so she could only ask Wu Qingtao for money, but Wu Qingtao refused to give it. Liu Fanghua and her five children lived a life without a meal, so she had to give away her two daughters. Despite this, Liu Fanghua still insisted on letting her children study instead of working. The children also did well and received scholarships. During the Battle of Crossing the River, the People's Liberation Army landed in Wuhu, and the reception officials confiscated three empty rice mills, which were state-owned and turned into state-owned factories. Wu Qingtao also makes a living by repairing machines. Liu Fanghua lives on a little rent. Liu Fanghua went to the court and asked for divorce, and the court approved it. In the end, Wu Qingtao chose to become a legal couple with his third wife. Liu Fanghua lived in her eldest daughter's house in her old age, and later died of gas poisoning at the age of 86.
