A Humble Household

The story of a young couple in the city working hard to build a good life and make their fortune

Liu Er Ya's brand-new life begins when she marries into the city and becomes a landlady.

“Er Ya?”

“Open the door, Er Ya!”

“Bang, bang, bang...”

“Liu Er Ya! You can hide in there and keep quiet, but I know you're inside!” Liu Da Ya pounded furiously on the door. “I also know you took all the chicken soup. You did it on purpose so I wouldn't get any! Liu Er Ya, open the door right now!”

“Big Sis...”

Inside the room, Liu Er Ya spat out a chicken bone and shouted toward the door, “I raised those chickens. I can eat them whenever I want, and give them to whoever I want. Nobody gets to tell me what to do!”

“You knew Mother was planning to match me with Shi Sanlang, but you rushed off to see the matchmaker first. Then you came back and scrubbed the pots and washed the dishes. Why aren't you ever this hardworking normally? And you even rushed to pour him water!”

“Then marry him yourself! I wouldn't want a lame man anyway!”

Liu Da Ya was so angry she burst into tears.

“Er Ya?”

“Open the door, Er Ya!”

“Your aunt has found a match for you. He's from the city, and his family has a two-courtyard house. You'll be mistress of the household as soon as you marry in, and they're offering twenty taels of silver as a bride price. Open the door and let your aunt tell you all about him...”

“Eighteen years old. His father is dead, and his mother is easy to get along with.”

“He works as a constable at the county yamen.”

“Handsome and full of life!”
