Qian Sangui was shocked. "What's going on?"
Lady Wu said indignantly, "Just now on the road, she stopped me and said she wants to strengthen family ties by having Xiuxiu marry her grandson Cai Wa as a child bride. She also said Yixiu is just a girl who eats for free, and since she's going to marry someone eventually, why not send her off to her in-laws' house earlier and save our family some food."
Furious, Qian Sangui banged his cane several times and cursed, "A greedy and despicable shrew, too detestable! If it weren't for my second brother's sake, I'd really want to beat her to death with this cane."
"That day in the courtyard, when you were eating and said Xia Grass was Yixiu's idea, Mother Duo was all ears. She must have set her sights on Yixiu then and had Lady Tang come to propose," said Lady Wu.
