Mrs. Qiao said to Wu Ren, "In the past, Tong Pandi was domineering because we didn't use any means to restrain her."
Wu Na chimed in, "Mother is right, our methods weren't strong enough. I heard that the wife of Blacksmith Zhang from Black Dragon Pond was domineering when she was young, and he disciplined her by branding her with a hot iron, and after a few times, she became obedient. Brother, you're a man, and you can't even handle a woman? Tong Pandi's weakness is her two burdensome daughters; seize them, and she won't have a choice but to bow her head."
Seeing Wu Ren's hesitation, Mrs. Qiao continued, "Now, Tong Pandi has completely enchanted our son, delaying his marriage prospects, and how can we hope to have grandchildren? Why not bring Tong Pandi home as a concubine and find another match for our son?"
Wu Ren was being persuaded.
"But how could this be achieved? Her aunt, Widow Tong, is a fierce one; with her in the way, it'll likely be troublesome."
