"What I mean is that my husband is gone, he left more than half a year ago. I've returned home with the child and I'm not leaving anymore. I'll take care of my younger siblings myself and won't trouble Uncle and Aunt."
Liu Guizhi knew that clearly stating this would incite a storm, after all, being a widow in these times was not a good thing.
Although it wasn't her choice, the fact that her husband died was undeniable.
In the eyes of others, she might as well be a jinx, and none of the widows in the village were living well.
Most of them returned to their parents' homes and were remarried before long.
Either to a widower or as a stepmother, plus she had brought her child back.
A widow returning like this was generally unwelcome.
Even if someone wanted to marry her, they wouldn't want to take in an extra burden.
Liu Guizhi understood this, which is why she said she would take care of her younger siblings, having no intention of remarrying from the start.
