How could she not cry? Thinking of those dozen or so children who couldn't support themselves, were they all going to have to rely on their families to support them in the future? How could they possibly raise so many children? But she couldn't just leave them to their own devices either. Her husband was the village chief, a stubborn and kind-hearted man.
