It turned out that not long after Cai Wei left, Gao Sanchun was caught by her cheap father, Gao Jia, and sent back. On the night she returned, she was married off to Li Jingui, the son of County Magistrate Li, to become his concubine.
Lady Yin couldn't handle this blow and fell ill. She was bedridden, unable to do anything, requiring medicine daily. The silver flowed like water, and the ten taels of silver that Cai Wei had left for them were spent in just a few months.
Now with no firewood at home and her mother, out of medicine, Zhao Di, out of options, was forced to sneak behind her mother's back and beg Gao Jia. Gao Jia was ruthless, completely disregarding his ex-wife's daughter. His new wife, Lady Bai, seeing that Zhao Di had the nerve to come to their door for money, immediately rolled up her sleeves, exhibiting the demeanor of a mistress, and slapped Zhao Di out of the house.
