Chapter 5 - 5: Venting Cylinder _1
Xun Hui was originally a gentle character, which sounds like a compliment, but to Yang Ruxin, she was nothing but a soft persimmon, who could only silently shed tears in the face of her mother-in-law's difficulties. Fortunately, Yang Baiyue was still good to her, although he never dared to confront Yang Anshi on her behalf and always advised her to endure in private, he was her support. Moreover, her husband had never disdained her for not having a son, so she endured the hardships. As a result, Xun Hui and her children became the free housekeepers of the entire Yang Family, doing the most work but rarely able to eat their fill, something Yang Baiyue never seemed to notice.
Perhaps, in Yang Baiyue's heart, a bought wife was no different from a servant, as long as they weren't starved, this was considered a kindness.
Thus the years passed, for eight or nine years.
Then five years ago, Yang Baiyue went to Linjiang Prefecture to sit for the imperial examinations to become a candidate in the civil service. Unfortunately, he fell off the boat into the river... At that time, more than a dozen people on the boat confirmed this, and the Yang Family even sent people to retrieve his body, but it was only found three days later downstream, badly decomposed. If not for his clothing as proof, it would have been impossible to recognize that it was Yang Baiyue...
Xun Hui fainted on the spot, but was later diagnosed as two months pregnant...
Because Yang Baiyue had died, leaving behind only three daughters and no heirs, Xun Hui's pregnancy became her lifeline. The Yang Family wanted her to carry on Yang Baiyue's lineage. Of course, if she gave birth to another daughter, that would mean Xun Hui's fate would be to be sold away.

Fortunately, the following year, Xun Hui gave birth to boy and girl twins...
With a son, Yang Anshi no longer mentioned selling off Xun Hui, but because of Boss Yang's death, Yang Anshi still placed all the blame on Xun Hui and her four daughters, calling them jinxes and bringers of doom...
Aside from Yang Rufeng, the remaining five mother and daughters became not only the Yang Family's free servants but also the family's outlet for frustrations. If anyone felt displeased, they could openly scold or even hit them without consequences...
