To everyone's surprise, Gan Tao exploded upon hearing this! This was the second time the obedient girl had gone against her mother's wishes, and she absolutely refused to comply, infuriating Gan Tao's mother to the point of cursing:
"You brat! I'm doing this for your own good! I'm letting you marry into a rich family and enjoy a life of luxury, but you're still not happy! You have to find a poor boy to be satisfied?!"

People in this world aren't stupid. Gan Tao Niang's attitude clearly shows that if you marry her daughter, you have to help raise her son. Five younger brothers-in-law—even wealthy families wouldn't dare take them on, let alone ordinary families like theirs.
