“When did it become our turn to say we didn’t want to be in this family? Not to mention us, even Mother couldn’t. Back then, she threatened to starve herself to prevent me from marrying your brother-in-law, but what did she get in return?”
After she finished speaking, Ling Bin's mind also drifted back to the past.
He remembered that his older sister's eyes were swollen from crying, and his mother fainted several times.
