She disliked her relatives there. Every time she came to town, she would eat at their house, always empty-handed, and would boast to her three brothers about how nice, big, and spacious their house was.
But this house clearly belongs to her.
When she was little, every time she talked to her mother about it, her mother would say that she had a hard life, only having four children in her lifetime, and that she wished all her children could be by her side.
“As a mother, how could I bear to leave my children? Your brothers are all my children. Please let them stay here for my sake. If you don’t let your brothers stay, then I will go back to Dashi Village.”
Her mother's husband in Dashi Village had been dead for more than ten years, so she would be a widow if she went back. Besides, she had been sold into slavery, and everyone in the village knew about her affair with Qin Fu. In private, people would inevitably say that she was not clean.

The village was mostly made of stones, water was scarce, and the surrounding area was full of shrubs. The land was barren and could not grow any good crops.
At that time, an old woman in Ting Village told her mother that she should stay in the village to be the old woman's grandson's daughter-in-law, but her mother disagreed.
She didn't want to marry into that village either.
"Go quickly!" Qin Tian stuffed the wooden tray into Qin Si's hands, snatched the spatula, and pushed him out. "Go and see your brother Da Lin."
