Grass Girl's suffering stemmed from the preference for sons over daughters. Because she was a girl, she was sold by her parents to the Lin Family at a young age to be a child bride.
Some child bride she was. She was just a laborer for the Lin Family, whose main responsibility was to take care of Lin Daqiang.
By then, Aunt Lin was getting old and no longer had the energy to run after her son every day. Aside from her eldest daughter, Lin Ao, she had sold off all her other daughters, so her only choice was to raise another child bride.
A child bride was a great deal. They were cheap. Besides wasting a few bites of food, you didn't even have to pay a bride price when they grew up.
Who would have thought that Aunt Lin, who had been meticulously frugal her whole life, would lose her precious son because of a "money-losing" daughter and be angered to death.
"I was forced. If I didn't help, my whole family would have ostracized me..."
