Shen Shaoyao was widowed in her youth and lost her son in middle age. Now even the only shop her family owns is about to be seized by creditors.
Just as she was about to hang herself with a white silk cord, her daughter-in-law suddenly ran over, grabbed her leg, and begged her not to die.
But how could the two of them, as women, survive in this world? Besides, she couldn’t endure hardship or live a hard life.
Her daughter-in-law said, “Mother, I’ll introduce you to a rich man with a fortune beyond measure. From now on, the two of us will eat and drink like royalty! You’ll have so much bird’s nest soup, you can drink a bowl and toss another away.”
Shen Shaoyao, who was about to put the cord around her neck, suddenly didn’t want to die anymore.
It wasn’t for the bird’s nest soup. She just thought her son surely wouldn’t want her to join him so soon.
