Ji Dongtian lost silver while gambling outside and came back to ask Old Madam Zhang for silver to repay his debts.
Old Madam Zhang refused, but that foolish woman Lady Mo went ahead and told Ji Dongtian that Old Madam Zhang had just given Ji Xiuwen ten thousand taels of silver as a bride price for the family they were arranging a marriage with.
As a result, Ji Dongtian, the unfilial son, went to that family and took back the entire bride price, then went to the pawnshop and exchanged it for five thousand taels of silver. He paid off a thousand taels of gambling debt, and the remaining four thousand taels continued to be used for gambling.
With this chain of events, how could Old Madam Zhang not be angry?
The anger and pressure resulted in a stroke, and she fell down.
Lady Mo became anxious and hurried to the gambling den to find Ji Dongtian, but discovered that he had already gambled everything away, and he even used Lady Mo as a gambling stake.
