San Ying Niang looked at Mrs. Huang with disdain and said: "The rich man Liu's family has no shortage of maids, but he can't stand it, so the head wife wants to use your second maid as a maid.
My natal family is from Caizhu Liu's village, and I have a cousin who works as a long-term worker in Caizhu Liu's family. He knows very well what kind of life Erya is living in Liu's family."
"What kind of good family do you think Mr. Liu's family is?
Rich Man Liu made his fortune thanks to his mother-in-law. His mother-in-law was so powerful that Rich Man Liu was afraid of her.
Otherwise, do you think that Mr. Liu’s wife gave birth to three daughters, so why did she not take a concubine until now?”
"Mother Sanying, what's going on with the Liu family?"
Other neighbors looked at Sanyingniang curiously and asked.
Sanying's mother said: "The mother-in-law of Mr. Liu was looking for a concubine for Mr. Liu because she was too old and could not give birth. In order to leave a lasting impression on the Liu family, she decided to look for a concubine for Mr. Liu.
People in these ten miles and eight villages are all concerned about face. Who is willing to marry a girl to a sixty-year-old man as a concubine?
After much searching, I finally found Erya, and the betrothal gift was increased from twenty taels of silver to fifty taels of silver."
"Who do you think is shameless?"
Mother Lu pointed at Sanying Niang's nose and shouted.
The shameless person did not give his daughter to the Liu family as a concubine, but his family did. Doesn't this mean that their family is shameless?
Sanying's mother didn't care who her elders were or not, and said with a smile: "Who knows who is shameless."
"go on."
Other neighbors asked Sanyingniang to ignore Mother Lu and let her continue talking.
Sanying Niang continued: "Erya went back to his home when he came home, and never came back again. Do you know why?"
"Why?"
"Because the Liu family doesn't allow her to go out at all. Rich Master Liu's mother-in-law is a powerful and jealous woman.
After Erya entered the Liu family, Rich Master Liu went to Erya's room every night. Rich Master Liu's mother-in-law was naturally unhappy, so she treated Erya like a maid during the day, beating or scolding her if she did anything wrong.
I heard from the maid of Rich Master Liu's wife that Erya had a lot of injuries on her body, and the cost of food and clothing in the Liu family was about the same as that of the Liu family's maids.
You go to the next village to ask the Zhang workers of the Liu family, but all the maids and long-term workers of the Liu family are pitiful."
"Oh my god! How could this happen?"
Everyone else was shocked.
"Er Ya Niang, did you hear me?
This is how your family, Erya, enjoys the blessings she enjoys in the Liu family."
The Huang family and the two elders of the Lu family did not expect that Erya would live such a life at Rich Master Liu's house. Although Erya had begged them to let her stay when she came back, she did not want to go back to the Liu family and said that Madam was great.
.
But they refused, and even persuaded Erya, saying that she was already one of Rich Master Liu's, and no one would ask her to accept her fate when she returned home.
Because Mrs. Liu said earlier that the betrothal gift of fifty taels of silver can be regarded as buying out Erya's life.
Once they collect the money, Erya becomes a member of the Liu family, and the Lu family can no longer take care of it.
They also knew in their hearts that by doing so, they sold Erya, and they felt sorry for Erya.
So they can only think that if Erya enters the Liu family, she will not have to worry about food and clothing. Mrs. Liu is already over fifty and is an old woman. Erya, the young rich man Liu, will definitely dote on Erya very much and treat Erya very much.
good.
When Erya gives birth to a son, she might be able to squeeze out the old lady Mrs. Liu and become the main wife, reaching the peak of her life.
Unexpectedly, the rich man Liu turned out to be henpecked, so he just let the old woman rub him off like this.
Sanying Niang looked at Mrs. Huang seriously and said: "Erya Niang, if you still think that Erya is your daughter, take Erya back. Don't let Erya be tortured to death in the Liu family."
Mrs. Huang lowered her head and said, "She is already a member of the Liu family, how can she be brought back?"
"Sanying Niang, please stop taking care of our family's affairs. If Erya doesn't marry well, it will be her fate."
After speaking, Mother Lu pulled Huang back and closed the courtyard door.
Everyone has their own destiny, and this is Erya's destiny, so I can't blame them.
The neighbors looked at the closed courtyard door and shook their heads, thinking: "What kind of mothers and grandparents are these!"
