Fourth Sister aged rapidly.

Once, when Li Xiangdong was delivering Mid-Autumn Festival gifts to his fourth sister, he heard her mother-in-law scolding her before he even entered the house, "You jinx, you always have such a gloomy face, you're so gloomy that Longlong won't even come home on the fifteenth of August."

Li Xiangdong stared at the damned old woman with a pale face.

Shi Longlong goes out to fool around and then blames it on Fourth Sister!

Seeing Li Xiangdong standing at the door with a livid face, staring at her without saying a word, Fourth Sister's mother-in-law shut her mouth in annoyance, turned around and went back into the house, ignoring Li Xiangdong and his sister.

"Fourth Sister, come home with me! We're not going to stay in this wretched place anymore!"

Li Xiangdong pulled Li Zhen towards the door.

Li Zhen didn't move. "Xiang Dong, where can I go, sister?"

Li Xiangdong froze. Yes, where could Fourth Sister have gone?

Shi Longlong and his mother resented that their fourth sister had left all her new clothes for her parents' home, while she herself had entered the house wearing tattered clothes, which they felt disgraced the Shi family! They were even more disgusted that their fourth sister had hanged herself before her wedding!

They treated Fourth Sister like she wasn't human, making her do all the hard, dirty, and tiring work.

Her father, Li Jin, came several times to support his daughter, but the Shi family mother and son outwardly complied while secretly tormenting their fourth sister.

Ever since Fourth Sister said, "Father, I'm getting married!", she has never called him "Father" again.

She got married to repay her parents for raising her, and she stopped calling them "Dad" altogether; it was her last act of living for herself.

Gradually, Li Jin's feelings also faded.

Li Xiangdong snapped out of his reverie. He vowed that he would never let his fourth sister step into the Shi family's hell again. He wanted her to choose her own marriage and to see her live a happy and fulfilling life.

Even if doing so would offend his grandmother and ruin his uncle Li Song, he would not hesitate at all.

"Father, Fourth Sister cannot marry Shi Longlong!"
