Upon hearing Old Man Shen's words, Madam Niu immediately panicked: "Father, all the money in the house is gone. What are we going to do with Yushu? Next month's tuition is due soon, and it's only one tael of silver a month. We couldn't even scrape together that much if we sold ourselves. Do you really want Yushu to give up halfway and ruin the hopes of our Shen family?"

Shen Quan remained silent at this moment.

Madam Lü said, "Sister-in-law, you're wrong to say that. Doesn't Yushu have two older sisters who are doing very well in Ningzhou City? Shouldn't they help the family and their younger brother if they're doing well?"

Only then did Mrs. Niu remember that she had two daughters, but she was afraid to see them, fearing that they would not recognize her.

In order to allow her son to receive an education, she sold her two daughters to wealthy families to work as maids.

Although they didn't cry or make a fuss when they left, they refused to see their mother again.

Later, she asked around and found out that her eldest daughter, Shen Yuhong, had married a man and become his concubine. She no longer had to serve him humbly and now had maids and servants to take care of her. She was happy for her for a while.

The second daughter, Shen Yuzi, was said to have married a servant, but that servant was very popular with his master, so her status in the mansion rose, and she no longer had to do the lowest-level menial work.

She went to Ningzhou City several times to look for them, but she couldn't find them.

For so many years, the two of them still refused to see their mother again.

She was also very annoyed; she felt like she had wasted her time raising them.

If it weren't for her decision back then, how could her two daughters have such a good life? They would still be like that Shen Yulan, married to men in the village and beaten every day.
