Yu Jia Yu, who had lost his youth, was naturally not loved by his wife anymore and was forced to do all sorts of jobs.
Old Master Tong was not very picky when picking a husband for Yu Jia Yu. As long as they paid a decent groom price, Old Master Tong was not choosy. Li Hanyang who fell for Yu Jia Yu's beautiful face immediately took out ten taels of silver as a groom price.
So how could Old Master Tong refuse those ten taels of silver? He immediately agreed to the betrothal when Old Madam Yu had gone to work in the town.
By the time Old Madam Yu found out about the engagement it was too late and the matter of the engagement was already spread all over the villages.
This was done by Qiu Bai who was worried that his mother-in-law would refuse to let Yu Jia Yu marry Li Hanyang.
