Otherwise, Dong Yuefan felt that she could help her get rid of one or two of them, and keep them by her side as servants.
It was precisely because of her attitude towards those seven children that he didn't dare to mention the idea at all.
Given his family background and status, taking in seven children wouldn't be a problem, let alone seventeen.
However, if we take him in as our master, the old folks at home will definitely not agree, and they'll say he's acting absurdly.
The thought that I'm an adult, yet I still can't make decisions for myself in some things, makes me feel inexplicably frustrated.
