"Mom, what are you trying to do?" Gu Mingzhu looked at Fang Yue worriedly, as if afraid Fang Yue might do something foolish!
"I'm not going to do anything stupid." Fang Yue raised her hand, smoothed the hair at her forehead, and said gently, "I just want her to do what a younger sister ought to do."
"But, she won't agree." Gu Mingzhu frowned.
Fang Yue's lips curled into a smile, saying, "She doesn't have a choice."
"Mom, what exactly do you want to do? Tell me."
Gu Mingzhu asked anxiously, and after being pressed repeatedly, Fang Yue finally revealed what she'd found out—that Xu Nianhua takes a walk in the village every day. She didn't say it was that old woman who delivered this news, only that she had found out herself. She said, "All I need to do is bring her to the city, get the match checked first, and if she really can save you, I'll make sure she agrees."
"This… isn't very good, is it?"
Gu Mingzhu said hesitantly, "Mom, younger sister has suffered a lot."
