This is also because, after so much time has passed and she still hasn't had a son, she had almost given up. She wanted to talk to her sisters and teach them a lesson so that they would be filial and take care of her in her old age!

Therefore, the first four older sisters were trained to be very obedient. After the birth of their son, the manipulation of the children in the family became more frequent.

The saying goes, "A younger brother is the pillar of the family. You should treat him well so that if you're mistreated by your in-laws after marriage, he'll be there to support you. Having a younger brother gives you confidence in your husband's family!"

The family had so many children, but they were never well-off and often went hungry. In order to raise their precious son, the eldest and second eldest sisters were married off to neighboring villages in exchange for dowries. The dowries were used to buy food and clothing for their youngest son.

The third sister married a butcher in town and became the stepmother of three children. He gave the highest dowry, which she saved for her youngest son's tuition.

The village is far from the town, and the fourth daughter was married off. They bought a tricycle so that their youngest son could easily go to town to play.

Back when my two older sisters were getting married, although they valued the bride price, they were still quite selective. Later, as the expenses of raising their youngest son increased, they started marrying whoever offered the highest bride price.

Fourth Sister was married off to a lazy, thirty-something man from the same village. He was also lame. The dowry was paid using his parents' savings.

After getting married, she not only had to support her mother-in-law and father-in-law, but also her husband. She had to work in the fields when she went out, and do housework, laundry, and cooking when she came home.

When I'm too busy to help with housework, my mother-in-law gets all worked up and starts yelling and cursing, saying that she paid for the house and that it was her family who bought it.

The fourth sister couldn't take it anymore and went back to her parents' home. There was no one to support her, and her parents didn't care or ask about her, their hearts were all on their youngest son.

Bai Fang often saw her fourth sister working in the fields. Later, she carried a baby on her back while working in the fields. She was only in her twenties, but she looked old and weathered. Her face was numb, and only when she was coaxing the baby would her eyes show a bit of liveliness.
