Qian Manzhi's marital life was not an easy one, especially since Lady Tang had initially demanded a higher bride price and provided a meager dowry, causing her in-laws to feel shortchanged. As a result, she often endured exploitation and bullying.
None of the three daughters of the second generation of the Qian family had an easy life after getting married. This time, within less than a month, the couple managed to earn over seven hundred wen money, which might improve their treatment by the in-laws.
Comparing their situation to her own dear mother's, who was a widow lost in the countryside and somewhat simple-minded, yet fortunate enough to have kind and good-hearted in-laws that treated her like their own daughter, Yixiu felt her mother was truly blessed.
Qian Yixiu and her siblings first entered the room to pay their respects to Old man Qian and Old woman Qian. Old man Qian was quite kind to Qian Yixiu, not like Old woman Qian who only had eyes for Qian Yeejin.
