"Mom, let Dad do whatever he wants. He can't blame us if he doesn't want to spend the money."
Liu glared at his back hatefully. Shui Youcai was really tactless.
It was not until she saw him enter the dilapidated woodshed that she stamped her feet with a red face and a thick neck:
"Hmph! Let's see how long he can hold on. Chunhua, move your things into the house. When Dabao comes back, we'll stew some chicken."
After saying this, the mother and daughter carried large and small bags of things, entered the yard, and walked towards the spacious and bright main room.
Half a year ago, Liu used the money from selling Luo Lan to build this big house. Uncle Shui Youcai had been holding back his anger and dared not express it, so he could only let the mother and daughter toss around. He moved alone into the woodshed where Luo Lan once lived, and lived a life of chopping wood and hunting with his own hands.
He didn't eat with them, didn't live with them. Having been a coward all his life, this little bit of stubbornness was all he had left.
Although Liu invited him to live in the main house many times out of consideration for their marriage, he refused. He would rather eat coarse food than even look at the chicken, duck, fish and meat on their table.

Although he didn't understand how she was so proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, he felt at ease as long as he saw that she was living a good life.
Since then, he has never set foot in the capital again, and continues to live a monotonous but busy life every day.
Liu's mother and two sons were naturally happy to live a free and easy life. They used the silver they got from selling Luo Lan to eat delicious food, drink spicy drinks, wear good clothes and live in a good house. In just half a year, there was not much of the one thousand taels of silver left. It happened that at this time, Concubine Chang sent someone to find her, saying that there was a business that could make a fortune, and asked her if she wanted to do it.
How could she not do such a good thing?
