Gu Nuan Nuan paused for a moment. "It's true that every family has its own problems."
"Yeah. That's why I'm going to help my mom make them proud. I want to show them that girls are in no way worse than boys."
Lin Qiao said with a burst of determination, but then she deflated, her mood sinking. "I also want to make tons and tons of money. When I think about our family's situation, I get so anxious I can't wait to grow up. You have no idea—to contract the bamboo forest and build our house before, my mom had to go back to her family to borrow money. Now the bamboo forest isn't making any money, and we still owe my maternal grandparents, my uncle, and my aunt. It's hard enough just to pay them back, but my dad is still dead set on making my mom give him a son. I really hope the baby in her belly this time is a boy. Otherwise, they'll definitely keep trying."
Gu Nuan Nuan: "..."
