Da'an and Xiao'an finished their introductions and then said with heads lowered in dejection, "My mother is ill, we don't have money for treatment, so we thought of coming to Yangcheng to sell firewood to earn money for my mother's treatment."
"What about your father?"
Da'an replied, "Eight years ago, during the chaos at the Northern Border, Great Liang drafted soldiers extensively, and my father was forcibly conscripted. He never returned, and people in the village all say he died abroad."
"Eight years ago?" Not returning for eight years, it really seems likely he didn't survive.
Unexpected to see Great Liang also had forced conscription; why wasn't the Yu Family's three brothers drafted?
She needs to find a chance to ask Yu Changhe.
"What illness does your mother have? What did the doctor say? Can it be treated?"
