A Second Marriage Brings Good Fortune

Tao Yu had never had much luck.

His father didn't care for him, and his mother didn't love him. As soon as he was old enough to understand, he took on all the chores around the house.

At long last, he grew up, only for his greedy grandmother to spend every day trying to sell him for a good price.

Then the Zheng family offered ten taels of silver, and he was married off.

The Zheng family's younger son, Zheng Feng, was quite fond of him.

Tao Yu thought his good days had finally begun.

But after they married and completed the wedding ceremony, Zheng Feng left to take the county-level imperial examination and didn't return for half a month.

When he came back, he brought a beautiful young man with a peach-blossom face and limpid eyes.

Barely half a month after his wedding, Tao Yu was cast off by his husband's family.

They were from the same village, and the Tao family thought he was an embarrassment and refused to let him come home.

Tao Yu had no choice but to turn to the village head and move into an abandoned, dilapidated hut.

Everyone in the village thought Tao Yu's life was over.

Cast off by his husband's family at such a young age, and rejected even by his own family, he would have a hard time finding another husband.

But no one expected that the Yun family's good-for-nothing son, who lived next door to that broken hut, would marry Tao Yu.

One was a cast-off young man marrying for the second time, and the other was a penniless young man with no parents and nothing but four bare walls.

However you looked at it, their life seemed destined to be even more miserable.

But as time went on, their life only got better.

The two husbands opened a restaurant together, and it brought in money by the cartload.

Zheng Feng looked at the person beside him, who did nothing but cling to him and ask for money, and his eyes reddened with regret.

He regretted it so much that he could have kicked himself.

On the day Yun Zhou moved his whole family to the capital, Zheng Feng secretly stopped Tao Yu.

With red-rimmed eyes, he confessed his true feelings and begged Tao Yu to stay.

Tao Yu brushed his hand away and quickly stepped back.

"Young Master Zheng, your sincerity is worthless to me. I'm not interested."
