Lin Lan said, "Mom, learning a trade is the easy part. If she can't get along with Xinglan, she can go learn from Qiaohui at the east side shop. What I'm worried about is that she might run away again. If something happens, we can't take that responsibility."
"I'm worried about that too." Wu Shufen looked at her. "Your aunt has a difficult personality, but your uncle is a good man. Now that he's come to us for help, I can't just be heartless and ignore him!"
Lin Lan thought for a moment, then asked, "Did Uncle ask Wen Hui what she wants to do?"
"She used to want to be a tailor, but she's been too afraid to since that incident. Your uncle saw that Xinglan and Qiaohui are both working for you, so he hoped she could learn a skill and marry into a good family."
Wu Shufen paused. "Your uncle mentioned that girl Chunhong from last time. He said her parents married her off to a crippled man in the mountains. The man is over thirty and gave the Ma family a bride price of 998."
