Seeing this, Mr. Li's heart ached even more. Her eyes reddened, and she nearly burst into tears.
"My son, Mom has done something foolish. I've wronged you. But I know I was wrong now, and I'll never interfere in your affairs again. If you really must have that Chen Wanqing, then study hard. Strive to one day become a high-ranking official, and make that Zhao Jing bend to your will. When that time comes, if you say you want Chen Wanqing, who knows? Zhao Jing might just hand her over with both hands..."
Li Cun's figure disappeared through the doorway. Mr. Li stood dejectedly in the courtyard for a while before picking up her vegetable basket and heading toward the kitchen.
Before she even reached the kitchen door, a hand shot out from inside and yanked her in.
"You wretched girl, what have you been eating to get so strong! You have the strength of a tiger! You're going to pull your mother's arm off!"
