Lin Fu turned to Lin Shouyi, Lin Ding, and Shi Xiuhua. "I've done my best," he said. "And I've already told you, this is the one and only time I'll ask the Zhang Family for anything. I don't care if Yan Zi goes or not, but there won't be a next time. It's fine if she doesn't go. More than a few people in the village who are on good terms with us have been asking me and my wife for help. Now that I've secured this position, there's no reason to let it go to waste. If she doesn't want it, plenty of other people do."
Lin Qiao's spirits soared with joy and pride at her father's words. She lifted her chin, gazing at him with pure adoration.
