Father Xu and Mother Xu smiled at Zhou Li.
After they met, the four of them ate, and Father Xu and Mother Xu asked Zhou Li about his family situation, which Zhou Li answered one by one.
Xu Yuejiao knew that this was the part her parents disliked about Zhou Li.
Sure enough, Father Xu suddenly asked in a different tone, "Your father was seriously ill, so why did you choose to continue studying instead of working to earn money?"
Upon hearing Father Xu's words, Xu Yuejiao felt a tightness in her heart.
Her father had started to make things difficult.
"I've always excelled in my studies since I was a child, and my father always told me not to end up like him. Because he lacked education, he had to do hard labor, which eventually led to silicosis."
This kind of illness gets harder to bear as it progresses, as if you can't breathe.
These were caused by the work he did in the mines back then.
Upon hearing Zhou Li's words, Xu Yuejiao felt a pang of heartache.
