However, Aunt Yang had no one to rely on, only enduring the bullying in silence.
Aunt Yang's only hope now was for her daughter, who had moved away, to come back and visit. But as the years passed, she had lost most of that hope. If her daughter chose not to return, so be it.
The story had a profound impact on Gu Zi. Despite living two lifetimes, she was still amazed.
Yet, Gu Zi believed that Aunt Yang's suffering didn't solely come from her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wang, but from her useless son, Yang Tao, who liked to shirk responsibility.
Gu Zi empathized with Aunt Yang but understood that everyone had their fate, and she could only sympathize. She couldn't rescue Aunt Yang from her misery because she was helpless in that regard.
After all, Aunt Yang had raised her son, Yang Tao, and had willingly entered this difficult situation herself. She still held hope for her son's change, and if she didn't help herself, no one else could.
