Since becoming disabled, Pingping had stopped studying. Instead, she helped her mother with the business to support the family. It was only later that she became a streamer and found her niche.
Having lived through tough times herself, she could emphatically relate to Little Tommy's plight and also had her own thoughts.
Why was it like this?
Little Tommy's father was extremely diligent, braving the harsh conditions to ensure his son got an education. Eventually, after colliding with a noble's carriage and paying compensation, he ended up breaking his leg and had to rest at home.
Pingping had witnessed Little Tommy's performance at school, his hard work and intelligence were plain to see. Academia suited him better than being a lumberjack in the woods.
Looking at the children not far away, who had received their wages and felt like grown-ups, yet were actually still eleven or twelve years old, Pingping didn't know what to say.
