“Mother just woke up, and second brother is arguing again?” Interrupting Xu Hanyao was the Xu family’s eldest daughter-in-law, Xu Lin, with the given name Hua. Lin Huahua lived up to her name – beautiful and clever, with a sharp tongue.
“Elder sister-in-law, it’s not like that…” Xu Hanyao was about to speak when he was gently pulled by his second wife, Zheng Yurong, and stopped.
Yu Yi took a breath: “I’m tired. Everyone, please leave.”
After the large family dispersed, Zhao Nanny helped Yu Yi drink a bowl of medicine and carefully wiped her mouth: “Madam, would you like to rest more, or…”
“Help me out. I’ll sit in the courtyard for a while.”
Yu Yi half-closed her eyes, reclining on the courtyard chair. Zhao Nanny quietly accompanied her.
It was early May, the beginning of summer, and the pomegranate flowers in the courtyard were in full bloom. A strange feeling arose in Yu Yi’s heart. She vaguely felt that the place the Heavenly God sent her to did not exist, but the Heavenly God said these were all true people and true events…
Yu Yi decided to set aside these chaotic thoughts for now and complete the task at hand. When she returned, she would ask the Heavenly God about it.
Xu Jia, operating a silk business, owned his own weaving workshop, several silk shops in the city, and other businesses. The old Mr. Xu, who had established this enterprise, was nearly seventy years old, still physically strong but mentally confused. Mr. Xu had an only son named Xu Chengsi, who had one wife and one concubine. Madam Xu gave birth to two sons and one daughter, while Concubine Yin had one son and two daughters.
However, Xu Chengsi passed away less than fifty years old half a year ago, leaving behind a divided large family.
Madam Xu was in poor health, and after Mr. Xu’s death, the eldest son Xu Hanzhong and the second son Xu Hankao began to quarrel endlessly about dividing the family property. They argued to the point that Madam Xu became extremely angry and fainted, dying on the spot. Afterward, Yu Yi “transmigrated” here.
Yu Yi was just a seventeen-year-old unmarried girl who had to become the mistress of this large family, facing this mess.
