"That's good to hear. I overheard the day before yesterday that your wife is a jealous woman, and she won't let Brother Hong take a concubine. You might as well send your daughter to serve as a Maid first. Once the rice is cooked, you'll have no choice but to accept it."
Sun Erhu explained the reasoning, hoping to get the attention of his Brother Hong and sister-in-law.
Having two women in a household wouldn't that cause a huge commotion?
And most importantly, the sister-in-law can fight, it's very likely that it could lead to fatality.
"Is being a concubine really that good?" Qiao Duo'er scoffed. Do those people have no integrity at all?
"Then you're just naive. There are families that trade their daughters for money. You should be careful, sister-in-law."
Sun Erhu didn't find it strange at all—some families treated their daughters as mere tools, devoid of any affection.
Before they come of age, they're tools for labor, and after they grow up, they can be sold for money.
