Lian Shouxin's family was flawless in everything they said and did. Their reasons for not letting Lian Shouren and Lian Jizu attend school were solid and well-grounded. Furthermore, they mentioned that when the school started, they would let Liulang attend. Additionally, they found an apprenticeship for Si Lang to learn a craft.
And it wasn't just Si Lang; it included Lian Jizu as well.
He couldn't find a single fault with Lian Shouxin and his family. So what was the reason for his illness?
Was it because he felt sorry for Lian Jizu and didn't want him to work at the Paper Craft Shop, which made Lian Shouyi and Si Lang unhappy and give him a hard time? Si Lang going to work in the county made it inconvenient to commute, and wanting to stay at Lian Lanlan's place, which Lady Zhou disagreed with, caused a commotion, and it upset him?
This was indeed a plausible reason, but it wasn't easy to talk about, and letting others know would only be a laughingstock.
