Luo Jingui grew increasingly impatient.

He found his wife to be very noisy.

"I'd love to, but would she agree? The Yan family makes a fortune every day. Didn't you hear what they said when they were selling flower cakes today? A bag of flower cakes in her shop costs half a tael of silver. Even if she sells 10 bags a day, that's still 5 taels! If I had money, would I have married you in the first place? You're ugly, and you talk so loudly, it's driving me crazy. I'm leaving now, going out for drinks. You never let me have a moment's peace."

After saying that, he slammed the door and left.

Ignoring Cui Siniu's collapsed on the ground, crying and making a scene.

"I've truly committed a sin. Marrying you, I haven't had a single good day. You even point your finger at me and yell at me. When we were broke, I had to shamelessly borrow food. And you? You never do any work, just hang out with your cronies. You'd rather chat than do a odd job to help support the family. Because of you, our three sons are still unmarried. You'll get your comeuppance sooner or later! I want a divorce!"

After being scolded for almost half an hour, Cui Siniu finally got up from the ground.

Her voice had long since become hoarse.

But all three sons had disappeared.

Nobody cares about her.

Even if it's her own son who came out of her womb.

Cui Siniu felt a pang of sadness for a moment, but then quickly put it out of her mind. It was getting late, and she had to hurry up and cook dinner. She would visit the matchmaker's house again that evening to find wives for her three sons.

She didn't mention the divorce she had just been clamoring for at all.

With a cold expression, Cui Siniu began picking vegetables and cooking, thinking she could threaten her family.

However, at this time, the three Luo brothers all harbored ulterior motives.

"Brother, we agreed to split it 50/50, why did you only give me 200 coins?"

"Oh, look at you being so stingy, here you go."

Luo Qian excitedly counted the copper coins after receiving 250 coins.

This was the first time in his life he had ever had so much money.

"Don't tell your third brother about this. He's the most cunning guy; he might tell Mother, understand?"

"I know, brother. I'm not stupid. Why would I tell him? When I get married, I'll use this money to buy her a pretty handkerchief. She'll be so happy then."

The two brothers miss their wives.

One is a 20-year-old "old bachelor," and the other is 18.

In Baihua Village, children of that age can already run.

“Brother, Mom has stopped crying. She’s probably gone to cook. You’re so smart. Just ignore her and let her cry for a while. She’ll get up on her own.”

"Aren't all women like this? You'll have to treat your wife the same way, you know? When you're arguing, just ignore her. Don't say a word to her. Let her make a scene. Eventually, she'll come to her senses."

"Big brother, you're so smart, I'll listen to you."

The two brothers chatted quietly in the room, while Luo Bai lay on the bed lost in thought.

He had always secretly loved Zhao Yuefang from the next village, but her family's dowry was too high, and they couldn't afford to marry her. Plus, she had already married into a family in town.

Mother said that if she only gives two taels of silver to get a wife, she won't be able to find a pretty one.

He never thought much of the country girls in the village.

The only two good-looking women were married off to the Chen brothers, and he couldn't possibly be with Guihua and Lamei.

The thought of Yuefang made Luo Bai feel extremely uneasy.

A few days ago, he ran into Zhao Yuefang while secretly selling wild fruits. She had already divorced him.

I heard that the family that was the first to commit a crime did so.

Divorced women are worthless, and he doesn't mind that Yuefang is a divorcee. So, if he were to marry Yuefang, he should be able to succeed, right?

The more I think about it, the less I can stay still.

He took the money he had saved from selling wild fruits and mushrooms, plus the silver he had embezzled yesterday, totaling two taels, and went to Zhao Yuefang's house via a side path.

Knock on Zhao Yuefang's door.

It was Zhao Yuefang herself who opened the door.

Her family had already finished eating; the elders had gone out for a walk or sat under the trees at the village entrance chatting.

"Yuefang, are you looking for a partner?"

The two were just strangers who met by chance, and Zhao Yuefang didn't even know who he was.

They just looked somewhat familiar.

I think I've seen him before.

Seeing him looking at her with affection, Zhao Yuefang smiled slightly.

“I’m being looked after by my parents. They say that since I haven’t been married long and haven’t had any children, I can find a good family to marry into. Recently, a wealthy family in town has taken a liking to me and said they want to make me their second wife. But I’m not really willing to do that. He’s a whole generation older than me.”

What she said is true.

Indeed, a shopkeeper from a family business took a liking to her.

It's not just one round bigger, but more than two rounds.

She's already in her forties.

He was older than Zhao Yuefang's father.

The Zhao family was particularly tempted. The master said he would give three taels of silver as a bride price. There was no such thing as a bride price for a woman who was remarrying. Giving even one tael would be considered very generous by the husband's family.

Zhao Yuefang is currently arguing with her family.

She didn't want to be sold a second time.

At least Zhou Yiliu is close to her age, although he's a bit ugly.

Moreover, the shopkeeper already had five children, some of whom were even older than her.

She might be mistreated after marrying him, and if she can't have any children, she won't be able to survive after her husband dies.

Zhao Yuefang is not stupid.

"Yuefang, my heart has long belonged to you, but in the past my family was poor and I dared not presume to marry you. Recently my family has received a windfall. May I marry you? My mother said she can give two taels of silver as a bride price. Although you are a divorcee, I do not mind. As long as you are willing to marry me, I will definitely treat you well."

Zhao Yuefang feigned shyness and turned her head away.

"You're too blunt. How can you say such things to someone so late at night? Arranged marriages are decided by parents, not me. If you really like me, then have your mother come to my house and talk to her. Also, I think you look kind, so I'll just be frank: two taels of silver. My parents definitely won't agree. That rich man said he'd give three taels of silver. If you really want to marry me, then go and figure out a way."

After exchanging only a few words, Zhao Yuefang understood Luo Bai's character, even though he was not particularly good-looking.

But if I marry him, I'll definitely be able to control him.

This solved her immediate problem; she absolutely could not marry an old man.

"My mother will definitely agree, Yuefang. Here's two taels of silver. How about I give it to you first? This is silver I secretly saved. My mother can't know about it. Please ask your parents to be lenient. When my mother comes to your house, don't let it slip. We'll just talk about a dowry of two taels of silver, okay?"

At this moment, Luo Bai seemed to be possessed by a sycophant.

He gave Zhao Yuefang all the money he had on him.

Even though this was the first time the two had spoken today.

Even Zhao Yuefang didn't know his name.

He even had to ask around about Zhao Yuefang's situation.

Zhao Yuefang extended her slender fingers to take the silver, and pretended to accidentally touch Luo Bai's palm.

Scratched it~

This action made Luo Bao's face turn bright red, and he instantly lost his temper.

"Tell your mother to come tomorrow. Time waits for no one. If it drags on, I'll probably have already married that rich man. But I don't like that kind of scheming life. I just want to marry someone and live a peaceful life. As long as he treats me well, I'll give him a son or daughter."
