Wanglu
A dirty looking young maid in a torn dress was sweeping the front of an untidy rectangular shaped building.
Large buckets containing live fishes were lined up at the front of the house.
While Cai Tianai hurriedly swept and cleaned the house, her fat mistress, madam He Lanfen was indoors enjoying breakfast with her children.
Cai Tianai never imagined that her situations would go from the frying pan into the fire.
She left General Mo’s mansion, so that she could go to her elder sister at Huexiang, but at last, she ended up at the village of Wanglu, with an extremely fat lady who had promised to help her.
He Lanfen was a widow, who lived in a small house with her three children and was making a living from selling fishes at Liangsu market.
Due to too much work, her face were wrinkled, and just at the age of forty seven, she already had strands of gray in her hair.
