Walking home, Lady Li was rushing over at breakneck speed, her face deathly pale, "Mother, you weren't taken advantage of, were you?"
Lady Li was truly frightened. This year, Mother-in-law couldn't do any heavy work; she had no strength at all. How could she win against Wang Zhang's wife? If something really happened to Mother-in-law, would the eunuch not have to follow her in death?
She had thought about living separately and getting by on her own. But she wasn't foolish. With two younger brothers-in-law yet to be married and a younger sister-in-law waiting to be wed, plus the children being so young, all of these required money. If the in-laws were gone, everything would fall on her and her husband's shoulders. With too many dependents, they would surely be worked to death.
