Therefore, Gu Sanniang had received education and could write and do accounting.
When he was twenty years old, Mr. Li, a famous wealthy man in their county, lost his first wife and wanted to remarry.
The Li family spread the word that the second wife must have a clean background and preferably be literate.
Gu Sanniang meets all the requirements.
Her stepmother accepted a betrothal gift of thirty taels of silver and married Gu Sanniang to Mr. Li, who was over fifty years old.
Gu Sanniang felt wronged, but she still married obediently.
She was worried that if she missed Mr. Li, she might be sold to an even worse family by her stepmother.
No matter what, when she went to the Li family, she would be the mistress of the house.
Even though her stepson was older than her, even though she wasn't very respected in the Li family, even though...
Gu Sanniang endured the grievance and served Master Li diligently with the same attentiveness she had used to please her legitimate brother and sister.
The old man and his young wife, the young wife is pretty and has a sweet mouth, and Mr. Li gradually develops some feelings for Gu Sanniang.
Because her husband valued her, Gu Sanniang gained a firm foothold in the Li family.
It happened that year that Mr. Li’s eldest son, Li Yaozu, went abroad to study. Although Mr. Li had several other children, they were all daughters.
His only son wanted to leave, and Mr. Li couldn't stop him for the sake of his son and the family.
After seeing Li Yaozu off, Mr. Li felt his heart was empty.
Just at this time, Gu Sanniang became pregnant.
A few months later, she gave birth to a fair and chubby son.
Mr. Li was extremely happy. He had a son in his old age, and he was the only one of his two sons. He put almost all his fatherly love on his youngest son, Li Yaozong.
Because of her son, Gu Sanniang was able to stand tall in the Li family.
People should not be too proud, as this will make them lose their composure.
With a son by her side, Gu Sanniang was no longer the young wife who even the maids and old women dared not offend when she first got married.
She really thought of herself as the mistress of the Li family and greedily wanted to seize all the Li family's property.
Young Master Li Yaozu had been abroad for several years. He came back at the beginning of the year, got married, and then left in a hurry again.
Gu Sanniang had no chance to take action against Li Yaozu.
The wife that Mr. Li forced to marry seemed to be pregnant, so Gu Sanniang had evil intentions and wanted to slander her stepson and his wife for having an affair, thus achieving the effect of killing two people with one body.
Mr. Li is almost sixty years old and is not in good health.
If he is provoked by his daughter-in-law, and if something unexpected happens and Li Yaozu disappears, wouldn’t all the Li family’s property fall into the hands of his son?
Gu Sanniang had a good idea and a thorough plan.
She only missed one point—
The cheap daughter-in-law was replaced with a girl who had traveled through books and was familiar with the plot.
The girl who traveled through the book world was very straightforward. She used the same trick against Gu Sanniang, and she fell into the trap she had set and became the one who stole the man.
As a result, her son Li Yaozong was also suspected of being a bastard.
Master Li was furious and ordered his men to beat Gu Sanniang severely, and then drove the mother and son out of the Li family...
