The Complete Book of One Hundred Women - 10

The Soviet Red Army's advance on Berlin was fierce and unstoppable. Old Gap Tooth seemed deeply inspired; after reading "Liberation," he launched a lightning-fast attack on Mao Mao, defeating her numerous suitors with astonishing, unbelievable, or even somewhat despicable tactics. Old Gap Tooth's tactics were unpredictable and dazzling. Due to space limitations, I cannot elaborate, but one example demonstrates his cunning and ruthlessness. Who knows how he obtained the parents' contact information? Then, using the same tone, he wrote countless letters and sent them to each parent, frankly stating: "Mao Mao is mine. If you don't want any unpleasantness or accidents, please persuade your sons to be sensible and give up pursuing Mao Mao!"
Mao Mao Jie was also under the spell of Old Man with the Gap Tooth, completely devoted to him. However, it could only be described as "completely devoted," not "love." I've always been outspoken with Mao Mao Jie, and when pressed for her opinion, she calmly said, "Looking at his appearance, how could anyone fall in love with him?"
"If you don't love him, why are you so devoted?"
"I firmly believe that compared to those flashy, fickle boys, he's mature and ambitious!"
"But, he's too ugly!"
"He's not just a little ugly, he's incredibly ugly!" Mao Mao's reply left me speechless. "But that's a good thing too. With him, I'm the one who dumps him, he'll never have the chance to dump me! Even though he's ugly, he's very ambitious, he'll definitely have a bright future. Being with him is a sure thing!"
This...this isn't love, it's clearly a transaction, or a gamble! Mao Mao is betting her youth on her future! Hearing her words and looking at her beautiful face, I felt both heartache and disgust: Mao Mao, you're selling yourself! This isn't dating, it's a business deal!
No matter how much my aunt tried to stop or persuade her, Mao Mao remained silent, resisting with her silence. In despair, my aunt shook her head and sighed: "She's as stubborn as a mule, or perhaps she's just fixated on him!" Less than a year after graduating from university, the two secretly obtained their marriage certificate and began grand wedding preparations, much to the aunt's dismay, who was hospitalized.
Seeing that none of her family members would attend the wedding, Mao Mao tearfully begged me to come. Seeing her pitiful state, I had no reason to refuse. However, what I couldn't accept was that the wedding would be held in a cold and desolate rural area, entirely according to strange, or rather, tedious and tiresome rural customs. Alas, how tragic!
On Mao Mao's wedding night, I was back home, curled up on an unfamiliar earthen bed, hiding under a cold quilt, experiencing insomnia for the first time in my life. I tossed and turned in bed all night, and couldn't get up the next day. I was coughing, had a fever, and a runny nose. Old Man Gap Tooth hurriedly sent someone to take me, crying, back to the provincial capital. My aunt glanced at me angrily without even looking at me. I pulled out a red envelope: "Aunt, this is what my brother-in-law's family gave me when we were waiting for the car!"
"Hmph," my aunt roared angrily, "What? You changed your tune after just one day? You called me 'brother-in-law' so loudly and quickly, you little traitor! Ah," my aunt pointed to the banknotes on the table, "Two hundred yuan. You sold my cousin, didn't you?"
"Sister Mao Mao," my aunt's words made me feel ashamed, and I collapsed onto the bed: "Sister, I missed you so much, sob sob sob!"
My cousin has staked her bright future on the unremarkable Old Man Gap Tooth. Whether she wins or loses, we'll find out next time.
The third time, shopping and drinking tea, he spent lavishly, haggling over every penny.
The powerful and influential, the superiors, the officials' wives, all had too much spirit.
Garden villas, golden palaces, new and stylish cars, jade unicorns.
Shopping malls made him feel he had too little money, and the food in Guangzhou was all delicacies.
Suddenly, ash splashed on his fur coat, and he argued relentlessly, wasting words.
"Mao Mao is my greatest treasure!" With loss comes gain. After returning from the countryside, whenever I ate with Lao Huoya, he would say this: "Xiao Li, I will always cherish Mao Mao, and I will definitely make her happy! What other women can have, I will make sure Mao Mao can have too!"
"Auntie," I, having transformed from a traitor into a double agent, relayed Lao Huoya's words to her: "Lao Huoya—" In front of my aunt, I dared not call Lao Huoya brother-in-law: "He's so good to my cousin, he promises to make her happy!"
"Hmph," my aunt scoffed: "A poor country bumpkin, a stinking scholar, what great abilities could he possibly have! Mao Mao is truly blind, she has no hope in this life!"
To get ahead, firstly to give Mao Mao a happy life, and secondly to bring honor to the family, after starting work, Lao Huoya began preparing for graduate school. He studied day and night, his hair thinning until he was half-bald.
Although Sister Mao Mao was already married, I still longed for her; although Old Gap Tooth and I had become soulmates, the thought of my beautiful, saintly Sister Mao Mao being pinned down by such an ugly man... filled me with a sense of loss, and even a touch of jealousy towards Old Gap Tooth. To be near Sister Mao Mao, to maintain our former special sibling relationship, I would always find various excuses to visit her cramped and simple home on my days off. Sister Mao Mao, with remarkable composure, maintained a distant, ambiguous relationship with me, while Old Gap Tooth acted extremely magnanimous, even though this magnanimity was feigned and unwilling. Countless weekend nights, we would dine together, chatting and discussing everything under the sun until after midnight. Slightly drunk, I would slump down and fall asleep fully clothed in the small living room. After cleaning up the dishes, Mao Mao and Lao Huoya went to bed together in the inner room. The moment the dormitory light snapped off, my drunkenness vanished. I quietly shifted my body, pressed my ear against the wall, and shamelessly eavesdropped on the sounds coming from the dormitory.
The room was deathly quiet at midnight, save for the occasional weak chirping of cicadas from the cracks in the wall outside the window. At the same time, faint noises came from inside the dormitory through the wall. My heart skipped a beat, and a burning sensation of vinegar surged to my throat. If I hadn't tried so hard to control it, it would have gushed out: Alas, my poor Mao Mao was being pinned down by that wretched Lao Huoya again!
Despite my burning jealousy, I patiently pressed myself against the wall, ignoring the cold. The clattering sounds in the dormitory grew louder. Oh, I think I understood. Old Gap-Tooth was trying to seduce Sister Mao, but she was coldly refusing and ruthlessly pushing me away. My bleeding, jealous heart finally found a twisted kind of comfort: Sister Mao didn't love him, and didn't even want to make love to him. Sister Mao, shouldn't your true love be me?
In the cold, in the silence, in the clattering sounds, in the hazy, half-awake state, I vaguely heard Old Gap-Tooth's pitiful sobs and the dull thud of his forehead hitting the mattress. I clenched my fists and cursed angrily: "Pathetic! For a woman, he's so low! This isn't some staunch, die-hard Nazi, he's a traitorous coward!"
"Squeak," I don't know how much time passed, but as I lay sprawled on the sofa, half-asleep, the dormitory door creaked open, and Old Gap-Tooth, whom I scornfully called a "traitorous scoundrel," emerged, looking utterly disheveled. I glanced at him discreetly: his face was haggard, his expression one of utter despair; his already sparse hair was now a tangled mess, and his pale forehead gleamed with a nauseating sheen. Looking at Old Gap-Tooth's thin back, and recalling Mao Mao's heartless rejection the night before, I chuckled inwardly, but then a pang of conscience struck me, and I felt a pang of pity for him: Yes, whatever, Mao Mao was already someone's wife, and to not fulfill the duties of a wife was wrong of her!
"Li, you get some sleep," Old Gap-Tooth hastily wiped his face, then mechanically said goodbye, "I'm going to the library to look up data, see you tonight!"
I watched the old man with the gap-toothed tooth leave the room, then tiptoed into Sister Mao's bedroom. Sister Mao glanced at me sideways and muttered casually, "What are you doing in here? Get out." Seeing me sitting on the edge of the bed with a grin, Sister Mao pushed me away with her fair arm, pretending to shove me, "Get out! Your brother-in-law is very observant. If he notices anything, it won't look good for either of us!"
"Sister Mao," I said confidently, sitting down next to my cousin, "I didn't do anything. Why is he suspicious of me? Oh—oh," during the shoving, my hand suddenly touched a cool, smooth little plastic bag. I held it in my hand and looked closely. Well, it was an unopened condom. I burst out laughing. Seeing this, Sister Mao was embarrassed and didn't know what to say. She turned her head away shyly. I gently patted Sister Mao's slender shoulder: "Cousin, what's wrong? Didn't you satisfy him last night? Hehe, hee hee."
"Hmph," Sister Mao muttered angrily, her head buried under the blanket, "If I satisfied him, what would he use to satisfy me? Xiao Li, take a closer look, what size condom is he using!"
"Oh," reminded by Sister Mao, I repeatedly rummaged through the plastic bag and finally noticed that the short, thin Old Gap-Tooth was using the smallest size condom. I sat dumbfounded on the edge of the bed, clutching the plastic bag, not knowing what to say for a moment: "..."
After graduating from university, Sister Mao's former suitors went their separate ways, each with their own unique talents. Some continued their studies, some went abroad to make money, and some went into business, all becoming successful. Every Spring Festival, they would gather together to reminisce about the past and look forward to the future, watching their classmates return home in glory. But Old Gap-Tooth, despite being bald from exhaustion, still hadn't achieved anything. Mao Mao couldn't hold back any longer: "No way, I can't stay with him anymore, I want a divorce!"
Realizing she'd made the wrong bet, Mao Mao was filled with regret. Disappointed, she slapped her behind and prepared to part ways with Old Man Gap-toothed: "What era are we living in? It's the age of reform and opening up, but all he knows is to cram for books, he has absolutely no business sense! My classmates, those who weren't as good at studying as him, all made a fortune after going into business. Do you remember Li Xiaodong?"
"Yes," I nodded, "the shorter guy from Hunan, right?"
"Right, after graduation, Li Xiaodong went to Shenzhen and started a company. Now he's a CEO worth tens of millions. But your brother-in-law, what is he? He's nothing! I can't stay with him, I want a divorce!"
"Divorce? No way," my aunt said, hands on her fat waist. "You walked there yourself with blisters on your feet. I told you so many times, but you wouldn't listen. You deserve it. Now you regret it and want a divorce? No way. There's no culture of divorce in our family. Don't embarrass me. Whether it's good or bad, just make do!"
Although she couldn't get a divorce so easily, the relationship between Sister Mao and Old Man with the missing teeth entered a long period of icy silence. Occasionally, rumors of Sister Mao having an affair would reach my ears at work. My aunt would stomp her feet in anger, thinking that Sister Mao had embarrassed her.
"Sigh," Old Gap Tooth was utterly dejected, and for the first time, bitter tears streamed down his face in front of me. "It's all about money, it's all money that's to blame. Xiao Li, I...I...I'm going to change careers! To earn—money!"
"Brother-in-law," I said, looking at Old Gap Tooth's clenched fists and clenched, exposed teeth, I felt both amused and heartbroken. "What career are you going to change to? Besides studying books, what else can you do?"
"I'll start from scratch. I must make Mao Mao happy. If others have money, I will make sure she has money too," Old Gap Tooth truly abandoned the books he had studied for years, which had left him with no results despite his hair loss, and resolutely changed careers, starting from scratch, and went to Beijing for further studies!
Starting over was easier said than done. At my age, I was living in a dormitory like a student again, experiencing communal living. At that time, I was passionate about traveling all over China. I came to Beijing, intending to go to Urumqi. I stayed at the university where Lao Huoya was studying for a few days. Seeing how diligently he studied, yet how incredibly simple his life was—living on pickled vegetables and steamed buns to save money—I felt a pang of sadness. Although I couldn't get a sleeper ticket, I decided to leave Beijing as soon as possible, unwilling to see Lao Huoya's miserable state any longer. Lao Huoya sincerely said, "Going to Urumqi requires several days by train. How can you manage without a sleeper? You can leave tomorrow; I'll arrange a ticket for you tonight!"
I didn't pay much attention. After a hearty meal, I went straight to sleep. When I woke up at two in the morning, Lao Huoya was gone from my bed. That guy really had gone to arrange a ticket for me. With his usual superhuman perseverance, Old Gap-tooth spent most of the night in the ticket office, carrying a small stool, finally managing to get me a sleeper ticket. Receiving the small ticket felt surprisingly heavy and warm. That evening, when Old Gap-tooth saw me off to the train, despite my objections, he used his own food money to buy me travel snacks, which deeply moved me. After
two years of hard work studying in Beijing, Old Gap-tooth was actually sent to England on a government scholarship. Two more years passed, and when he returned, I heard he was already a postdoctoral researcher! Like
a donkey pulling a millstone, he had no time to spare; poor, pitiful Old Gap-tooth.
To win his cousin's favor, he climbed
the ladder with great difficulty. Forget about vague research topics; the shortcut was to get a high-ranking position.
If he succeeded, gold and silver would flow into his home.
His gamble finally paid off; now, Sister Mao is a true lady of leisure. Just as Old Gap-tooth said, Mao Mao has everything other women can have!
All Sister Mao could do was spend money lavishly, on shopping sprees almost like madness. Every time I visited her, her most enthusiastic hospitality was taking me shopping. As we strolled along the bustling streets of Guangzhou, watching the surging crowds, I muttered to myself: "
A Northeasterner in Guangzhou, eyes glazed and ears ringing. Looking around
aimlessly, affecting the city's appearance.
Eating a Cantonese dish, not knowing its name.
Wanting a drink, not knowing how to get the bottle." "
Hehe
," Sister Mao chuckled, covering her face, then tugged at my sleeve and pointed to a massive building: "Look, this is Guangzhou's biggest shopping mall. Come on, let's go in! Xiao Li, I'm going to buy you lots and lots of nice things. Just tell me what you like, don't be shy! Wow," looking at the dazzling array of imported appliances and designer clothes, Sister Mao grumbled disappointedly, "There are so many good things, but I still don't have enough money! I can't afford them!"
"Sister Mao," I said, "Are you going to buy the whole mall and take it home?"
"Sigh, so tired," Old Gap Tooth, completely balding, sat wearily on the sofa, half-sitting, half-reclining. The afternoon sun streamed in through the window, casting its rays on his bald head. His slightly listless, yet always sharp, eyes scanned the area in front of him—the high-end stereo system Sister Mao had recently purchased. Old Gap Tooth grabbed a disc, inserted it, and the picture quickly appeared: "Hehe, 'The Bridge,' good, very memorable!" I sat beside Old Gap Tooth, and we were transported back to those unforgettable twenty years ago. When Tiger led his special agents to defeat Gaishitao, the engineer, fully dressed, looked at the chaotic house. Before he could speak, Old Gap Tooth slowly muttered to himself, "Whom should I have the honor of following?"
"Haha," I chuckled, glancing at Old Man Gap-Tooth. He said with deep emotion, "Li, only at times like this am I truly happy. Following the scene, I'm transported back to that era. Ah, reminiscing about the past, how blissful it is! Oh dear, what's going on!" Old Man Gap-Tooth jumped up from the sofa as if pricked by a needle. "Oh no! How did I end up with my phone under my butt? Oh dear, I can't reach your cousin, she's definitely angry with me! Hey, Queen, what's wrong? Please give instructions! What? Quickly," Old Man Gap-Tooth exclaimed in surprise, "Oh no! Your sister's finger is caught in the car door! Quick, get her out! Oh dear, what am I going to do with her?!" All the way home, Old Man Gap-Tooth sighed helplessly. He complained, "Your cousin is quite clever and skillful, but she just can't handle the steering wheel. Sigh, she's paid a lot of tuition to learn to drive! Last Sunday, she went out to practice, and her car, which she'd only bought a few days ago, crashed into a big tree with a thud! Luckily, she was unharmed. Ugh, it scared me to death!"
Old Gap-Tooth and I rushed to the entrance of the city's largest shopping mall and rescued Sister Mao, who was trapped in the car with her fingers caught in the door. Sister Mao, pressing her swollen fingers, angrily scolded Old Gap-Tooth. Old Gap-Tooth stammered, "I was so tired. I got sleepy sitting on the sofa, and as soon as I turned over, I fell asleep. Who would have thought I'd put my phone under me? Your Majesty, I'm so sorry to have startled you!"
"Hmph," Sister Mao ignored Old Man Gap-Tooth, put on her thick, heavy mink coat, and said, "Sister Mao, is it necessary to wear such a thick coat in Guangzhou's winter? Aren't you hot?" "
I like it," Sister Mao shrugged stubbornly and proudly, deliberately showing off, "Many years ago, I liked mink coats, but I didn't have the money to buy one. I could only watch others wear them and be envious. Now, although I finally got my wish, your brother-in-law was transferred to the south. Sigh, I like it but can't wear it. It is indeed very hot. Fortunately, God has eyes. This winter is the coldest and longest in more than fifty years. Xiao Li, I can finally wear my mink coat to go shopping! I hope Guangzhou's winter will always be this cold."
"Yes," I interjected, "I hope Guangzhou's winter is even colder than Northeast China, and lasts even longer!"
“My little brother is so good with words,” Sister Mao said, her heart pounding with delight. She tapped the tip of his old, gap-toothed
nose with her swollen, red fingertip. “When will you ever learn to be a little more obedient?” “Sister Mao, which mall are you planning to go to today, and what are you going to buy?” I asked teasingly. Sister Mao smiled mysteriously. “Today? I’m not in the mood. Ugh, my finger is killing me. I don’t want to buy anything. Oh, it’s almost noon, little brother, let’s go have some tea!”
“Sister Mao,” I pleaded, “I really can’t enjoy Guangzhou cuisine. If we want lunch, let’s go to a Northeastern restaurant and have some delicious hometown food!”
“You country bumpkin,” Sister Mao’s words were law, not to be changed. “Northeastern food is too crudely made, and the service at Northeastern restaurants is just too much—it’s incomparable to Cantonese restaurants!”
"Sister Mao, you've changed!" Sister Mao dragged me into a Cantonese restaurant without giving me a chance to explain. I muttered under my breath, "Cousin, you've forgotten your roots, you've forgotten your hometown!"
The three of us ate lunch, and Sister Mao actually spent over a thousand yuan. Even I, who am usually quite generous, was astonished. Sister Mao ate happily, and her finger pain was gone. After paying the bill, she walked out of the restaurant with a beaming smile. Just as she was about to open her car door, a middle-aged man who looked like a migrant worker pushed a cart past Sister Mao's new car. Crash! The cart tipped over, and some inexplicable stuff gushed out, splashing onto Sister Mao's mink coat. Sister Mao glared at him angrily and grabbed the man's sleeve: "Are you blind? Look what you've done! You pay for it! You pay for my coat!"
"Oh dear," the middle-aged man cried, now in trouble, pleading, "Miss, oh, no, no, Madam, um, Madam, I, I didn't mean to, the road was slippery, I, I accidentally... Oh dear, what am I going to do? I, I can't afford to pay for it!" "
Mao Mao," seeing the growing crowd, the old man with the missing teeth, feeling embarrassed, whispered, "Forget it, don't bother with a pauper like that. Let's go, look at how everyone's looking at you!"
"No way," Mao Mao insisted, arguing back and forth. The middle-aged man, exasperated, rummaged through his pockets, finally pulling out two crumpled, brown ten-yuan notes. Mao Mao snatched them away, saying, "I'm unlucky to have met a pauper like you. You're lucky today! Get lost! Ugh! What bad luck!"
"The Lady of the Widow's Records says:
Alas, I have nothing to say about Old Man Gap-Tooth. My strongest feeling is that he lived a very tiring life. Although he had a beautiful wife in his arms (regardless of whether she truly loved him, as long as she nominally belonged to him, that was enough), and held a stable official position (although not very high, it was still the envy of many), compared to what he had given, what he received was disproportionate! I firmly believe that Old Man Gap-Tooth sacrificed far too much. To obtain a woman who did not love him—Mao Mao—he spared no effort, even losing his integrity. As a man, it was truly a loss that did not outweigh the gain! 《The Records of a Hundred

Widows

《The Records of a Hundred Widows》 (Widow) 《The Records of a Hundred Widows》 (Records of Widows)
Zhaojun 's Lament. Dou E was willing to shed her blood to exchange for eternal fame. The morning glow turned to gloom, the executioner was beheaded. The flash of the blade destroyed everything, a wronged soul was forever separated. The corpse was gathered in the marketplace, the old woman was buried. In the first chapter, Cai Laowu sells his daughter to pay off his debts, and his first wife pours cold water on his concubine . Master Jin, a wealthy man, lives off his ancestral inheritance, making a living by lending money and collecting rent. This carefree lifestyle is envied by his neighbors, and of course, there are also those who are jealous. However, every family has its own troubles, and everyone has their own unspoken grievances. Master Jin is no exception. On the surface, the life of lending money and collecting rent seems leisurely and carefree, even better than that of a god. But those who haven't experienced it know the hardships involved. The money is lent out, but collecting it on time is no easy task. If lent to honest and upright people, they will repay the master Jin in full, principal and interest, without fail. But if lent to rogues, scoundrels, or fugitives, not only is collection difficult, but in many cases, it also leaves one feeling angry, and the hard-earned money is ultimately lost. In recent days, Master Jin's lending business has encountered the usual troubles. Last spring, Cai Laowu from Cai Village borrowed twenty taels of silver from Master Jin, with a clear written agreement: the principal and interest would be repaid in full by the autumn harvest, totaling forty taels! However, misfortune struck; this year brought a once-in-a-century drought, and the grain Cai Laowu rented with the twenty taels of silver yielded no harvest. Master Jin's forty taels of silver was now lost. Forty taels of silver was no small sum, and Master Jin was not about to give up easily. Therefore, in an effort to recover the silver, Master Jin frequently visited Cai Laowu's house, becoming a regular customer. Cai Laowu was an honest farmer, definitely not the kind of person who would borrow money and not repay it. Driven to desperation by Master Jin, he grabbed his fifteen-year-old daughter, Cai Shi, and said in desperation, "Master Jin, the crops have truly failed, and I simply can't repay the money. If you don't mind, please take this girl in to pay off the forty taels of silver! As for me, I'll go out and beg for it!" "Ah," the old master was both surprised and delighted by Cai Laowu's actions. He was surprised that Cai Laowu was not only an honest man, but also a fool, giving away his daughter for a mere forty taels of silver; he was delighted that the Cai family's daughter was not only incredibly cheap, but her beautiful face was also something he coveted. In his surprise and delight, the old master cried out in astonishment, not knowing what to do: "Laowu, are you... insane?" "Father," upon hearing that she was to be used to pay off the debt, the young Cai Shi, her budding beauty just beginning to bloom, sobbed sadly.

"Father, are you really going to sell your daughter? Waaah..."
What girl doesn't dream of love? A fifteen-year-old girl is at the age where she loves to dream.
In Cai's mind, her future marriage would be just like in her dreams: gossipy matchmakers would come to the door every day to propose marriage, and there wouldn't be just one; they'd practically worn down the already dilapidated threshold. Among them were thin matchmakers, fat matchmakers, black matchmakers, white matchmakers, and of course, the infamous big-footed matchmaker; then, her father would refuse them one by one;
then, the matchmakers would peek at her through the crack in the door, praising her and introducing her to her father from even better families, from higher-ranking hereditary noble families, or even from the imperial family; then, her father would reluctantly accept a large dowry, while she herself would be... The grand sedan chair, carried by eight bearers, entered the wealthy groom's house. Amidst the music and deafening firecrackers, the bride, her head veiled and splattered with grains of rice, was carefully helped by her bridesmaids into the mysterious, warm, and poetic bridal chamber. She sat upright on the warm earthen bed.
Then, the ideal groom creaked open the door and tiptoed towards the bed. The girl feigned shyness, turning away, but secretly hoped the unfamiliar groom would quickly lift the veil so she could properly examine him, to see if he was as tall, imposing, handsome, and refined as she had dreamed. But all of this vanished with a single sentence from her father. At that moment, the poor girl, now a mere collateral, secretly glanced at her future master. Looking at his aged, wrinkled face and thick white stubble, the girl, once full of dreams for the future, felt utterly disgusted, almost vomiting!
“My daughter,” the bankrupt old farmer said, pulling at his own daughter’s hand,
“I’ve already fallen to this state. You’ll only suffer if you stay with me. Since you’re living a life of begging on the streets and being looked down upon, why not go with Master Jin and become his concubine? Then you’ll never have to worry about food or clothing again!”
“Hehe, what you say makes some sense, Fifth Brother!” After hearing what Cai Laowu said, the old man thought it made sense. Rather than having his beautiful daughter beg for food with a penniless man, it would be better to take her into his bedchamber and make her his concubine. Looking at the weeping, embarrassed Cai family daughter, the elderly master's lust was rekindled:
"Yes, if your daughter is willing to become my concubine, I guarantee you'll live a life of luxury, with everything done for you!"
The dreamy girl still secretly glanced at her future master. Hearing her father's advice, a wave of bitterness welled up in her heart: "Alas, forget it, stop dreaming. Father is bankrupt now. What young master would send a matchmaker to arrange a marriage? I can't disobey my father, so I'll accept my fate. Rather than staying in this impoverished house, eating boiled sweet potatoes every meal, I'd rather follow this wealthy master."
