Your maternal grandfather's family worked in a kiln. I worked for the kiln owner my whole life. When the kiln collapsed, someone was crushed to death, and they only got ten taels of silver in compensation. Ten taels! A life was worth ten taels. When I married your father, I thought—I can never live like that again. But in the end, your father was even more unreliable than the kiln." Yao Niang didn't speak, but simply held Madam Wei's hand.
