Tie Tou, who had recently been pressured by Mo Hong's family to marry a Kiln girl, was indeed a bit slow and simple, and to outsiders, seemed only slightly better than an idiot. However, he had one strength that many lacked: he could take in the good intentions of others, especially the words of his biological mother, Wu's, whom he almost invariably obeyed.
Even though he couldn't understand why his parents had divorced, and felt in his heart that his biological mother had abandoned him and his two siblings, Wu's still weighed heavily in his heart. After all, it had been she who'd always protected him from childhood, never despising him for his slowness.
When Mo Hong's family tried to match him with a bride, insisting that he leave his handprint on the marriage contract in front of the matchmaker, he resolutely refused to comply, silently resisting Mo Hong's ill intentions and remaining unmoved by her scolding and beating.
