It was usual for the Cao family's eldest daughter-in-law to act like a tyrant and order the second daughter-in-law around like she was the maidservant.
Previously, the Cao family's eldest son lived in the front part of the house while the second son lived in the back part. However, the Cao family's eldest daughter-in-law disagreed with the arrangement and went to make a scene in front of Old Master Cao.
She wept and complained about how good her family was to the old man and how they gave him the best things and the nicest food. Yet, they were not rewarded for their efforts and only had a room to stay in.
When the neighbors heard this, they also said that the Cao family's second son and his family were insensible and ungenerous. In the end, all the gossip made the Cao family's second son and second daughter-in-law decide to move out and live on their own.
"The two of you stop arguing. Hurry up and carry on with the digging," Cao Da said angrily.
