After Wang Yunxiao and Li Mumu left, He Lan hugged the blanket and sat on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.
First Ms. Liu walked in with a bowl of porridge and couldn't help but scold, "Obsessing over men has driven you crazy, hasn't it?"
He Lan bit her lip and stayed silent.
First Ms. Liu sat in front of her, took the spoon, blew on it, and said softly, "Back in the countryside, we couldn't compare to this big city. Country folks are simple-minded, you could make those silly boys lose their sense of direction with just a flick of your finger."
"It's different in the big city, where people have broader horizons, having seen and eaten much. There are many good men here, and many good women too. Your mother's little tricks are nothing but a toy in their eyes. If you can't wrap your head around it, you might as well go back to Cangzhou with mom early. It would save you the frustration of constantly being upset here, possibly frustrating yourself to death."
