"Really?!" The uncle was surprised to find out that Anjing and Shi Xiaolan were still handkerchief friends, which delighted him immensely.
His face darkened immediately, and he sighed, "How could she return? Her in-laws, my older brother, and sister-in-law, are elderly and not in good health. Fu Zi is lame and has to sell tofu with her every time because he can't manage it alone. They also have a little girl over one year old to take care of at home; it's impossible for them to leave."
Anjing finally understood why Shi Xiaolan had never returned to Jiuping Village—her life had been much harder than imagined, which made Anjing feel deeply moved.
In the past, Lin Anjing had always envied Shi Xiaolan for having loving parents and marrying into a good family.
"Uncle, I'll go to your village this afternoon to find Xiaolan and buy her tofu," she said, not intending to help An Fu but determined to help Shi Xiaolan.
