Siyang Village was originally a very poor and backward little mountain village, and when Chiang Songhai split from the family years ago, Ho Laidi caused such a fuss that he almost left with his wife without a penny to his name. Ge Liutao was frail, and it had cost a lot of money when she had a difficult childbirth with Chiang Qingzhu, as she had also been frail since childhood and was constantly coddled.
It was almost a repeat of Ge Liutao's old path when Chiang Qingzhu gave birth to Chiang Xiao, mother and daughter both being frail and exhausting all the family's money.
When Chiang Qingzhu ran away from home that year, she took away most of the family's silver.
Afterward, Chiang Songhai continued to pamper Chiang Xiao, so now, the Chiang family could barely scrape together fifty silver pieces.
But if they gave the entire sum to the Ding family, the three of them would really not be able to get by.
Moreover, Guiying demanded more than just fifty pieces.
