Precisely because I am grateful to her, I will never drag her into this.
She was an educated young person with a bright future. She would move towards a broader world in the future. She should not be trapped in this small village, and should not marry into a family with a bad background like theirs.
Asking her to take responsibility would be harming her!
Shen Shuyi didn't say much, just waited until night time, lit a kerosene lamp, and went to Lu Huai's door and knocked.
"Lu Huai, it's me."
