Uncle Feng and Aunt Feng asked Xiaofeng hesitantly, "So, you have nothing to do with Zhao Dahe at all?"
Xiaofeng nodded, "There's really no relationship. If we were to talk about relationships, I'd have to call him brother-in-law. But given Xiu'er's situation at home, I've decided not to pursue this family relation."
"So we came all this way for nothing?" Aunt Feng asked incredulously.
Xiaofeng replied seriously, "Auntie, your thinking is wrong. One has to rely on oneself, not on others. Is getting something for free really that easy?"
Aunt Feng wailed, "What are we going to do now!"
Before coming here, they made big promises and had already dealt with their fields and houses at home.
They spent quite a lot of silver on the way, and now going back would mean having nothing.
Moreover, more than having nothing, she was more afraid of others pointing fingers at her.
Doesn't that mean she'll never be able to hold her head high?
