Yu Suqin continued rambling on and on, and Lin Dongmei, feeling irritated, could no longer listen.

"Mother, I've been walking all day and I'm tired. I'll go back and rest first."

Before Yu Suqin could react, he turned and walked towards the door.

"Hey, take the fabric back."

Holding the fabric in her hands, Lin Dongmei returned to the room she shared with Lin Chunfang as if she had lost her soul.

Seeing this, Lin Chunfang hurriedly asked, "Second Sister, what's wrong?"

Without answering her question, Lin Dongmei lay down and forced herself to fall asleep.

She felt like she was dreaming, and when she woke up, what her mother said wouldn't be true.

Lin Chunfang looked at her with deep concern and helplessness. Her mother wanted to sell her, and now her second sister was like this.

What should she do?

Lin Dongmei tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, and then sat up abruptly.

Her hand touched the purse her sister had given her on her chest. She didn't want to marry that old geezer, Master Cai. She wanted to leave this place forever.

She had already sacrificed enough for this family and didn't want to waste her life on her good-for-nothing older brother.

So she began to pack her things in the dark.

Startled, Lin Chunfang was not asleep and woke up at the slightest sound from Lin Dongmei.

"Second sister, what are you doing?" She sat up, rubbing her eyes.

"My mother wants me to marry a decrepit old man. I'm leaving here. Do you want to come with me?"

Where are we going?

"The world is vast, there will always be a place for us to find refuge."

In the darkness, Lin Dongmei's eyes shone with an unusual light, brimming with determination and courage.
