After Xiaoxiao left, Li Chuntao's barely maintained facade immediately crumbled.
Arriving at the Yang Family village full of confidence, she never expected such an outcome.
Her mind was now a complete mess; she didn't want to give up. This was the first time she'd ever liked someone.
But she had no choice but to give up.
She stood there in the courtyard, dazed, watching as the family cart moved ears of corn in and out of the yard.
Alu noticed her lady standing in the courtyard, seemingly lost in thought for quite a while, so she went inside to fetch a stool, placing it beside Li Chuntao. "Miss, have a seat and rest for a bit."
Looking at the stool Alu brought, Li Chuntao nodded and sat down.
She had never had any maids before, their family also didn't have any servants.
Alu was only recently bought to take care of her after she nearly died trying to lose weight.
Once seated, her thoughts drifted far away, until the noise from next door caught her attention.
