Xu Ziyao dressed up as a wedding bride, and even the straw mat was prepared. Unexpectedly, both of them survived.
The thatched house, loess walls, and even the pots used for eating and drinking were clay pots made of loess. Only the two acres of land obtained by dividing the family was still valuable.
The tall husband was still lying on the bed with his legs injured. He kept a sullen face all day long and didn't even say a word. Her father-in-law secretly gave her the deed of prostitution to him, for fear that she would steal it and run away.
…
"I heard that the newly married daughter-in-law of the Li family sold an acre of land, and exchanged an acre of land and a bet for three for the barren tree slope to the west!"
"Just wait and see! That woman looks restless. Once the third son of the Li family dies, she will definitely run away with another man!"
…
Later, Xu Ziyao bought all the barren tree slopes in the west, raised insects on the trees and made candles every year. Even businessmen from the capital came to buy candles.
People in the village changed their minds one after another, "The third daughter-in-law of the Li family is really capable. I could tell right away that she was no ordinary person. Look at that pretty face... The Li family was really advantaged. If I had known better, I would have bought her for my son to be his wife..."
This is a story about making money to support a family in a different world.
