Heeding her daughter-in-law's reminder, the old lady found time that evening to call her eldest daughter into her room for a heart-to-heart.
She mainly wanted to ask about her plans for the future.
"My dear girl, you're a grown woman now. There are many things you understand without me having to say them, so I won't belabor the point. I just want to ask about your plans for the future, while I can still get around and help you decide." The old lady genuinely wanted her daughter to have a good life.
Li Yuanyi was taken aback by the question. 'Future plans?' She was completely at a loss; she had no idea what to do or how she was going to live. She'd been in a daze, just getting through one day at a time without ever thinking about it. Even during her recent hospital stay, she had spent every day just trying to convince herself that she would be better off after leaving the Wang family. As for what came next, she truly hadn't given it a single thought.
