Xie Sufen also realized this and sighed, "When your father and I retire, we plan to move back to the countryside. Why go all the way to Beijing? Isn't it better to stay in the countryside?"
Ji Xia didn't say much.
With Xie Sufen's personality, she would never rely on her children. She has always looked down on Liu Jingui, who started to rely on her children at a young age. Even when she was still able to work, she began to count on her children to support her in her old age.
