The legitimate daughter was reborn, and the emperor’s little Jiaojiao went crazy.

Madam Ma was a very strong-willed person. She followed Ma Liyang headlong and cut off all ties with the Qin family, and she never thought of turning back.

Even during the most difficult days for her and Ma Liyang, she never asked the Qin family for a penny.

She has no dowry, and without a dowry she has no confidence. She is grateful to Ma Liyang for saying, "You are the best dowry."

For this sentence, she vowed to live for this man forever. Facts have proved that oaths are like water that enters the brain when young and ignorant, and over time, they turn into tears flowing out of the eyes.

The Ma family was originally poor, and there were brothers and sisters in the family who needed to be raised. Ma Liyang's early salary was mostly used to support her parents and brothers and sisters. When the money came to her, there was little left, and she lived a tight life.

Ma Liyang was also very hardworking and he moved up step by step. With his outstanding military achievements, he became the general of Huai'an.

The salary was a little higher and the rewards were a little more, but no one knew how a family lived. The people in Huai'an General's Mansion still lived in extreme poverty.

There are two reasons. First, the relatives of the Ma family who asked for money were like a snowball, and the more they rolled, the more they got. Mrs. Ma's mother-in-law was also very interesting. She would brag as soon as she opened her mouth, "My son is a general, he has great power! He can solve anything."

You can solve everything. If your relatives don't treat you as a cash cow, what else can they do? If your aunts and uncles have nothing to do, just shake them and you'll always get some money.

Second, the number of wounded soldiers adopted by General Ma and the number of wounded soldiers’ families who needed support increased.

There were countless people with missing arms and legs, paralyzed on one side of their body, and that was nothing. There were also the families of the dead and wounded soldiers, mothers and fathers, orphans and widows, and so on.

Everyone calls General Ma a living Bodhisattva, who will grant any wish.

To be honest, Mrs. Ma has had a very tiring life these years. She is tired both physically and mentally.

Whenever she had any complaints, General Ma would ask her, isn't it filial piety to provide for one's parents?

How dare she say that it shouldn't be done? What can she do when she is pressed down by the word "filial piety"?

I can be filial, but I don't have to support my aunts and uncles, right? Do my brothers and sisters have no hands or feet? If one reaches out, the other will reach out.

Ma Liyang is actually the eldest son in the family. His so-called brothers and sisters include cousins ​​and brothers.

It's simply love spreading to the world.

General Ma said, "When our Ma family was poor, we relied on the help of these aunts and uncles you mentioned, which is why I, Ma Liyang, am where I am today. Every bit of help is a plus, and we should never forget our roots."

The words "One should never forget one's roots" left Mrs. Ma speechless.

As for the wounded soldiers, General Ma took on all the responsibilities and once declared, "If I, Ma Liyang, eat, you will eat."

Mrs. Ma was miserable. Whenever she had any objection, Ma Liyang would say, "They followed me through life and death..."

Yes! She was also moved by the life-and-death friendship on the battlefield.

But they were fighting for their country and for the emperor, so shouldn't they be resettled by the court?

You, Ma Liyang, are just a general, you are not the emperor! It is not that the court did not properly arrange for you, nor did it fail to provide you with relief money.

Mrs. Ma raised an objection to this.

Ma Liyang said righteously that she was a woman in the harem and had very shallow knowledge. He also said, "When you married me, you were not like this. You were warm, compassionate, kind and generous. How come you have become so petty now? You are always calculating and calculative."

Mrs. Ma was so angry that she was shaking all over. She took out the account book and asked him, "What can you do with this meager salary?"

All the money she spent was filled with all this clutter. There was really not much money left for her family.

At first, Mrs. Ma also followed the army to the border. Both of her children were born at the border, and she almost survived in such harsh conditions.

She is not afraid of hardship or poverty.

What she feared was that there would be no joy in suffering, and that poverty would have no end.

The house in the capital awarded by the emperor was originally occupied by the Ma family, wounded soldiers and their families.

Those who didn't know would have thought that the house was some kind of Anjifang orphanage. No one believed that it was General Ma's residence.

Later, the house was able to be taken back only because of a huge conflict between the Ma family and the wounded soldiers. Something big happened, and even the late emperor was alarmed.

The late emperor summoned Ma Liyang back to the capital overnight to resolve the issue, and scolded him, saying that he couldn't even manage his own family, so how could he lead troops?

The late emperor was so angry that he demoted him three levels and even suspected him of raising private soldiers.

Once the accusation was brought down on him, Ma Liyang became dispirited.

That year, the brothers Ma Chuyi and Ma Chuyang were only four years old. Madam Ma followed Ma Liyang back to Beijing on the pretext of tidying up the house, and then she refused to go back to the border with him.

At that time, the Ma family was driven back to their hometown, the wounded soldiers were dispersed, and the General's Mansion was no longer the General's Mansion. It was quiet for a long time.

Ma Chuyi was taken back to the border by Ma Liyang, and he volunteered to go with him. Mrs. Ma felt sorry for her son, but she couldn't change the young boy's determination to become a general.

Ma Chuyang was forced to stay by her side.

Because Ma Chuyang has been delicate since childhood, like a little girl, his skin turns red when the wind blows, and he cannot withstand the wind and sand.

The couple each takes one.

Ma Chuyi became "Little General Ma", and Ma Liyang boasted to everyone that he raised his son!

The implication is that it is the wife's fault that the younger son has been spoiled.

Madam Ma was really afraid of being poor, because of her poverty, she was looked down upon in the capital. She never participated in the flower-viewing parties of the rich and powerful ladies, and could not fit into that small circle.

Only Zheng Qiaoer did not despise her and often hung out with her when she had nothing to do. As a result, Tang Xinghe and Ma Chuyang grew up playing together.

After Emperor Mingde ascended the throne, he allowed the families of officials to engage in business in a reasonable manner. Madam Ma quietly joined this group. The first capital was not given by her husband Ma Liyang, but borrowed from Zheng Qiaoer.

Not only did she borrow money from Zheng Qiaoer, she also borrowed her influence. In short, life gradually improved, and she had money in her hands.

But she never dared to let Ma Liyang or anyone in the Ma family know that she actually had a farm, a shop, and some money.

Otherwise, those blood-sucking creatures from the Ma family would pounce on you and suck you dry.

Later, Ma Liyang became a general again. The Ma family tried the same old trick again and wanted to move into the general's mansion, but were strongly stopped by Mrs. Ma.

You can move in, but you have to get a divorce first!

As long as she is here, the Ma family will never be able to stay here for long. Not even Ma Liyang's parents can.

In fact, the Ma family looked down on her. They said that she had no dowry and that her food, clothing, and shelter all depended on their son.

If they were allowed to live in like this, Madam Ma might be driven to death. It would be better to divorce her early than to be driven to death.

Ma Liyang was certainly unwilling to divorce his wife, and finally he coaxed his family in the name of the emperor.

It is said that the Ma family angered the late emperor, and the emperor remembers it. Once the Ma family enters the capital, the emperor will strip him of his title of general.

Only in this way could the Ma family be stopped.

What Mrs. Ma feared most was that the Ma family would suck Ma Liyang's blood and then suck the blood of her two sons.
