Chapter 3: Poverty (2/2)



System: "To get rich and make money, Su Ke needs to earn five taels of silver. With a space, it will automatically upgrade and the silver will be returned to Su Ke."

So all I have to do is bring in money? Zhao Taohua breathed a sigh of relief.

"Third sister, we're home."

Hearing the urging voices of the Zhao brothers, Zhao Taohua hurriedly opened her eyes and returned to reality. Everything that happened when she returned to the villa just now seemed like a dream.

It was enough to make her blood boil with excitement.

We are also people with systems!

But when she saw the scene clearly, she was stunned again. There was nothing she could do. Even if the Zhao family was in Hexi Village, they were still very poor.

The low adobe house had a patched-up roof with things padded here and there. Although it was kept tidy, it was perhaps too tidy, perfectly illustrating the meaning of a bare house.

The old couple of the Zhao family also had red eyes at this moment, waiting at the door.

"Hua'er, you're back," Old Mrs. Zhao rushed over crying, "My poor daughter."

Old Man Zhao sighed behind him.

"Go in quickly, don't let the neighbors see us." The divorced woman was very embarrassed and was afraid of being seen and gossiped about.

Zhao Taohua walked forward, observing the surroundings along the way.

Before, when she was at the Zhou family, she thought that the Zhou family was just so-so, but when compared with the Zhao family, she realized what it meant to be indescribable.

Fortunately, being poor is not a problem for Zhao Taohua. Even without a system, she is confident that she can live a rich life. Now that she has a system, as long as the Zhao family is not stupid, their lives will only get better and better.

The more ideal you are, the more skinny the reality becomes.

Zhao Taohua was full of hope, but before she even entered the house, she was greeted by a barrage of sharp, bitter curses: "Dad, Mom, we can't live like this. Our Zhao family is so poor, don't you have any idea? Now we can't even afford to eat the porridge every day, and you actually brought back two more mouths to feed. Do you want to force me, the eldest daughter-in-law, to death? If you want to force me to death, you might as well strangle me directly. It's better than starving to death..."

When Zhao Taohua looked up, she saw her elder sister-in-law Ma, standing with her hands on her hips and cursing.

"Ma Xiufen, what are you talking about?"

Old Mrs. Zhao cursed angrily, but after all, she was poor and had little ambition, and she was not strong enough to stand up.

Zhao Taohua's daughter, Cao'er, was so scared that she hid behind her.

"Why am I talking nonsense? Am I not telling the truth? Taohua is divorced and sent home with a child, so she can't get married. If she still has her father and the Zhao family in her heart, she should learn from the abandoned women in Hedong Village and hang herself with a rope. How much food can she save?"

The more Ma spoke, the more excited she became, with saliva flying everywhere, as if the return of Zhao Taohua and her daughter would mean cutting into her flesh.

Although what Ma said was somewhat true, how could she be considered a good person? She was a well-known brother-supporting demon. She would take anything the Zhao family had back to her parents' home.

Now that there are two more mouths to feed, doesn't that mean she has to eat two less people's food?

Zhao Taohua wanted to fight back, but since it was her first day back, she didn't want the argument to be too ugly, so she looked at the Zhao brothers. She didn't expect that the Zhao brothers, who had been so eloquent before, now did nothing but clench their fists.

But Ma was the eldest daughter-in-law they had married after spending all their family savings to carry on the family line. If they chased her away, it would be like all their money was wasted.

Then the Zhao family would really have four bachelors, which would be very embarrassing.

Although, Zhao Taohua didn't quite understand why the Zhao family was so poor and yet they were still so mysteriously obsessed with passing on the family line.

"Stop crying."

Just when Zhao Taohua was puzzled, Zhao Dazhu beside her finally exploded. He had been tolerating Ma for two years, and his whole family had been humble and supportive of her on weekdays.

Now this shrew wants to force her sister to death.

"Boss, don't talk nonsense," Old Mrs. Zhao covered her mouth in fear. Let Ma scold as much as she wanted. They were used to being scolded every day anyway.

If you talk back and get scolded and run away, the Zhao family will be left without a wife.

"Mom, I really can't stand it anymore. It doesn't matter if I don't have this daughter-in-law. She can't lay eggs anyway," Zhao Dazhu said in a hard voice.
