Suffering a Loss Instead

Madam Tang was twisting her handkerchief, disbelief filling her heart, "It's impossible, how can this be? Chu Heng was supposed to hate Madam Ye! How could he possibly choose a name for her himself, I don't believe it!"

"Stop dawdling and come wash the dishes and feed the pigs. You're already eighteen, how much longer will you need to be looked after?" Madam Wang scolded furiously, calling out for Madam Tang to work in a mocking tone.

Because of Madam Tang, the family had lost ten taels of silver, and now Madam Wang wished she could flay her alive, so there was no way she would have a pleasant expression. Since yesterday, all the dirty and tiring chores around the house had been assigned to Madam Tang.

Madam Tang didn't want to do them, but Tang Xueren, also because of this incident, had grown weary of her, and no one in the family supported her.

If Madam Tang refused to work, Madam Wang would grab a broom and beat her.
