This woman, the mother of Sang Zhilan, did indeed look down on Tang Zhinian. He had no parents and only a few acres of land. If her daughter hadn't been rejected in marriage, how could she possibly marry her off to an unsuccessful man like Tang Zhinian, who had no abilities at all?
Her daughter was destined to live off the state for life, she couldn't possibly be here, farming the land with him. Her daughter, with that appearance and character, all top-notch, once Zhilan's life improves, she could help her two younger brothers. With Tang Zhinian, even if he worked himself to death, he couldn't possibly provide for a university student.
