Song Ciwan heard the husband and wife in the house start to argue.
The husband said anxiously, "She's Lady Liu, so we should save her! She brought her family's valuables. Have you forgotten they sell tofu? Their family must be well-off."
The wife shot back angrily, "What? Are you saying my family isn't rich enough for you? And why aren't we rich? It's all because you, you good-for-nothing, are so unambitious! All that talk about studying, passing exams, and cultivating Talent... but what came of it? You never earned a title, but you sure managed to squander every penny this old lady worked so hard to earn all these years!"
"And now you have the nerve to complain about my family's wealth? Have you no conscience? How dare you? All that studying... I guess it wasn't for fame and fortune, but to thicken your own skin?"
The wife's sharp tongue left the husband red-faced and sputtering.
