The widower's name was Li Cong.
Li Cong was a poor scholar who, despite his poverty, managed to make ends meet and continued to participate in the imperial examinations.
Because he might pass the imperial examination, many people were optimistic about him.
His former father-in-law valued his potential to pass the imperial examination and married his daughter to him.
But who knew that Li Cong's wife would die in childbirth the year after their marriage, leaving behind only a son.
At first, his father-in-law's family provided financial assistance, but after Li Cong failed the exam four more times, they stopped contacting him.
Although Li Cong didn't possess much of the skills of a scholar, he had perfectly embodied the arrogance of one.

Because Aunt Chi felt embarrassed when the marriage proposal was made, she stopped paying attention to the Wang family's affairs.
As for buying fabrics, they just go to the next town to buy them.
There's a fabric shop in the next town that has a wide variety of good quality fabrics at low prices. I heard it's owned by a wealthy person from the capital.
Aunt Chi initially avoided it to avoid embarrassment, but later she genuinely fell in love with it.
Aunt Lou knew what Aunt Chi was thinking, so she never told her about the Wang family's affairs.
