Tan Lin: "That's fine. The money is staying in the family, not going to some outsider."
"Do you think Tan Zhen knows about this?"
Cheng Wenhui had mixed feelings. "She definitely won't tell Tan Zhen. Your dad isn't a blabbermouth, either, so it's only our immediate family who knows."
"I just never expected her to let her studies slide because of novels. And yet, it was those same novels that made her successful."
Tan Lin: "When you pressured her to study, you were just thinking about her future. For a family like ours, studying really was the only way for her to change her life. But now it seems there are other ways to change your life besides getting an education."
Cheng Wenhui: "But for a poor family like ours, with no connections and no money, education is the only choice. When you go out looking for a job, it's almost impossible to get anywhere without a degree."
