Later, Madam Ming went out to work and happened to meet Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan was kind and paid well, making Madam Ming feel that she was about to have a good life. She even joked with Xiao Huan on the night of New Year's Eve that in two more years, they could pay off the family debts.
Unexpectedly, on the morning of New Year's Day, before dawn, the main door of the house was rudely forced open.
Madam Ming hurried out to investigate, only to find that her husband, who should have been guarding the household, had sneaked out at some point.
If that were all, it would be one thing, but he was found by a creditor in a brothel.
This was bad. The creditor, seeing this, chuckled, thinking, "If you can spend money at the brothel, you can surely pay off your debts, right?"
Immediately, the creditor dragged her husband back home to demand the money!
