"Since you've made up your mind, I respect your decision, but it's not just up to you, your family must agree as well."
"Miss Su, don't worry. The silver from selling myself is more than for just working, my stepmother will surely agree, and as long as my stepmother agrees, my father will too," said Jin Qiao. Yet, her words were filled with deep sorrow and helplessness. In this era that values sons over daughters, a woman's fate is already unpredictable, let alone a girl who lives under a stepmother without her birth mother—it's even tougher."
Mrs. Liu Jin, standing by and listening, shed tears but didn't counter Jin Qiao's words. If her big brother truly had the resolve to protect his niece, it wouldn't have come to this point. What a hard life for the child. "Why put yourself through this, child? Just keep working slowly; there's always a way."
