At the beginning, his wife came to him, and he became rich by selling kidney treasures.

The old woman in the yard was stunned.

He raised his head, and his blurry eyes slowly focused on Su Wan'er.

"Mom!" Su Wan'er trotted forward and threw herself into the woman's arms.

"Son, why did you come back? Is it because your partner doesn't want you anymore?" Mother Su rubbed her blurry eyes.

In this world, once a married daughter is sent back to her parents' home, she will almost never be able to marry again.

Reputation is more important than anything else, and in this war-torn era, a woman is not as valuable as two kilograms of rice. When Su's mother thought of Su Wan'er being sent back and having one more mouth to feed in the family, she burst into tears.

"Oh...what should I do..."

Su's mother slapped her thigh and sat down crying.

Su Wan'er was about to explain when Ren Hao came over with rice and flour and placed them at Su's mother's feet.

"This... this is..." Mother Su looked at Ren Hao blankly.

"Hello, mother-in-law." Ren Hao coughed and bowed slightly to Su's mother.

Seeing Ren Hao's appearance, Su's mother was stunned.

Su Wan'er, who was standing by the side, helped her mother up and said with a smile, "Mom, this is Ren Hao, my daughter's husband. This time I came back to see you with my husband."

"Ah?" Mother Su's eyes widened, and then she reacted and said quickly, "Come in and sit down. I am such a stupid old woman. Son-in-law, come in quickly."

Ren Hao smiled, picked up the rice, flour, grain, oil and other items, and followed him into the room.

Putting all the things on the ground, Su Wan'er said, "Mother, this is what my husband brought for you, some rice, flour and meat."

"Oh, so much! How much will it cost?" Su's mother asked in disbelief as she looked at the rice, flour and meat on the ground.

"It's not much money, it's a gift to you as a gift." Ren Hao said.

The smile on Su's mother's face became even wider. She originally thought that no one would want her daughter's frail body, but she didn't expect that not only someone would want her, but she also seemed to be living a good life.

It’s just that I haven’t eaten rice, flour and meat for many years.

Sitting on a stool, Ren Hao looked around the room.

It was simple, without any unnecessary furnishings, except for a broken bed that was who knows how many decades old, and the quilt on it was also tattered and had holes in it.

The stove in the outer room was also empty, with nothing extra.

The only valuable thing in the house is probably the pot on the stove.

After sitting down, Su's mother asked about Ren Hao again. Su Wan'er gave a brief introduction, but did not say specifically what Ren Hao did, only saying that he did some business.

Hearing that Ren Hao was doing business, Su's mother couldn't stop showing joy on her face: "Great, great, a good son-in-law."

At this point, Su's mother sighed: "Alas, Wan'er's father died early..."

Ren Hao listened quietly. Su Wan'er had told him before that his father died early and the family was raised entirely by their mother.

Besides her, there is a younger brother who is already married and a younger sister in the family.

"Mom, where is Ling'er?" Su Wan'er asked.

Su's mother sighed, "It's because there was nothing to eat at home. Mother had no choice but to send her to the county to be a maid."

At this point, Su's mother wiped her tears and said, "You won't starve to death if you work as a maid for others, but you will really starve to death if you follow mother."

Su Wan'er's expression changed slightly.

Ren Hao also frowned.

It’s not easy to be a maid!

Don’t think that maids are all dressed up well like in costume TV dramas and movies, and that they only need to serve their masters well. In fact, real maids are much more miserable.

First of all, most of the maids are young girls. In addition to working all day, they also have to serve their master's food and daily life. If they do something wrong, they will be beaten severely, and no one will care even if they are beaten to death.

Because maids have signed a contract to sell themselves, which means they will be slaves for life.

If she is not good-looking, she will work hard all her life. When she gets old, her master will sell her again. If someone wants her, he will spend some money to buy her as a wife. If no one wants her, he will work her until she dies of exhaustion.

If they are pretty, they will most likely be used as tools by their masters to vent their desires, and even if they are pregnant, they will not be allowed to stay.

When they get older, those with better hearts will sell them to the common people as concubines, while those with worse hearts will simply sell them to brothels at high prices, where they will suffer humiliation all day long.

It can be said that being a maid was extremely miserable.

As for those scenes in film and television dramas that depict intimate relationships with the masters, they are nothing more than wishful thinking.

"Mom, why did you sell her..." Su Wan'er burst into tears.

Then he turned around and looked at Ren Hao eagerly.

Ren Hao sighed, nodded and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, at worst you can just spend more money to redeem it."

Although it is a little difficult to redeem the maid, Ren Hao can ask Hu Sanyan for help. Now Hu Sanyan's sexual happiness is in his hands, so he will surely not refuse such a small matter.

Su Wan'er looked at Ren Hao gratefully, and then said to her mother, "Mom, how much did you sell it for? And where is the indenture?"

Hearing this, Su's mother's eyes suddenly became evasive, and she stammered but refused to speak.

"Mom, what happened?" Su Wan'er asked anxiously.

Seeing the inquiring looks of Su Wan'er and Ren Hao, Su's mother finally gritted her teeth and said, "The money and the indenture are all with your brother..."

"What! He took all the money? He didn't leave any for you?" Su Wan'er asked in disbelief.

"Yes...it was given to him by mother..." Su's mother lowered her head.

Ren Hao on the side immediately understood that Su's mother valued her son so much that she sold her little daughter and gave all the money to her son.

Su Wan'er immediately wiped away her tears. Even though she was very resentful in her heart, her long-term thoughts made her at a loss.

"Forget it, just bring the indenture contract over here, and I'll pay for it." Ren Hao said.

Su Wan'er looked at Ren Hao with emotion and full of joy.

"My dear, I'm sorry for making you spend so much money."

Ren Hao patted her arm gently and said, "It's too polite to say this between husband and wife."

The time they spent together had allowed the two to develop more feelings for each other, and with their in-depth communication every few days, their relationship quickly heated up.

Ren Hao also has reason to support Su Wan'er at this time.

A maidservant would cost at most twenty taels of silver, but I now have a fortune of more than two hundred taels, so redeeming a person is no problem at all!

"My dear son-in-law, I kneel down in front of you..." Su's mother was about to kneel down, and Ren Hao was so scared that he quickly helped her up.

I still want to live a few more years, but I can't let my mother-in-law kneel down to me.

"Mother-in-law, please don't be polite. We are all family, so let's not be polite." Ren Hao said.

Mother Su wiped her tears and said, "Look at my memory. You haven't eaten yet, right? I'll go make you some food!"

Seeing her mother going to cook, Su Wan'er immediately looked at Ren Hao lovingly.

"Ms. sir..."
