If only I could find a job in the county town.

Whether it's working as a waiter or cleaning, they're very happy to do it.

Even to become a junior apprentice, you have to find some connections to get in.

Now, they actually have such an opportunity.

If you do a good job as a waiter, you get paid and a meal at noon is provided.

And if there are no problems, this kind of work can last a long time.

In the future, I will be a worker in the county town. If I do well and am lucky, I may be able to stay in the city and become a city dweller.

What young person wouldn't be delighted?

The two quick-witted and recently married women who were chosen were also very excited.

For women, once they get married, the only path is to have children. If they can't give birth to a son, they will be looked down upon. Yet, they actually have the opportunity to work in the county town.

But what if I suddenly get pregnant? Will I still be able to do the job?

In the Cai family courtyard.

Cai Runiang knelt in the ancestral hall.

Behind her was Madam Cai, who was whipping Cai Runiang's back several times with a rattan cane.

“You’re no longer the magistrate’s son’s wife. You have no right to interfere in his family affairs. You even got rid of the magistrate’s grandson…”

Madam Cai felt like the sky was falling just thinking about it.

The Cai family is wealthy, but the rich don't fight with officials.

It's incredibly easy for officials to extract money from lower levels.

If Magistrate Hu finds out that the Cai family is about to lose a large chunk of their wealth, it will be disastrous.

"That bitch surnamed Su did it! She got rid of the child, what does it have to do with me!" Cai Runiang gritted her teeth, her face contorted with resentment, her features grotesquely ugly.
