Chapter 109: Peeling Corn and Paying Tax



"Then you should marry a mentally ill person. It's easy to talk without any pain in your back."

"Listen to me, this is what happened..." The families of the men who were called to help last time knew the whole story and helped to explain.

In the end, everyone understood the difficulties faced by the three sisters. Many people said that they had done a good job in their divorce. Their daughters were all married off, and they had finally escaped from the tiger's mouth and returned to their parents' home, thinking that they could live a few days of peace. But they were sold again. No one could bear it.

I won’t mention the dirty thoughts in the hearts of those who hate them. Anyway, no matter how well you do, there will always be people who like you and people who don’t in this world.

Gu's father asked him to drive the ox cart. He learned from old Gu and did a good job. He successfully earned two white flour buns and a bowl of vegetable and egg drop soup for lunch.
