"Who is it? Lily, is it your friend?" a frail voice asked again.
Sally glanced at He Weng and his group, gave He Weng a warning look, then turned and said to the old lady with a smile,
"Mom, they're my friends. You rest, I'll talk to them for a bit."
The old lady looked over at the group and said with a smile, "You must be Lily's friends, right? Lily doesn't have many friends. It's the first time I've seen friends come to visit, and I'm very happy! I'm just a burden! If it weren't for me, Lily wouldn't be dragged down like this. She's not a bad girl. Thank you for being her friends."
Sally gave a bitter smile, "Mom, don't scare them off,"
In her mother's eyes, she was probably the best daughter.
Even though she was now spoken about so negatively by the neighbors, who cares about your hardships, everyone just sees that you've taken the wrong path.
