"What are you planning to send back home?"
This wasn't a pleasant topic, and everyone present had their faces fall.
Yi Chichi, as if unaware of the awkwardness, asked again, "Not planning to send anything?"
Zhou Qiuyu, a bit embarrassed, mustered the courage to explain, "I'm not sending anything, I need to first take care of myself..."
She slapped her thigh, "Hey, I'm not afraid of you criticizing me, I'm not planning to go back to that home, I consider myself an orphan."
"Smart choice."
Wang Nan gave her an approving look, with a hint of envy, "Actually, your parents did pretty well, at least they made it so you can let them go without any emotional burden, while we..."
She sighed deeply and said with a bit of helplessness, "We haven't reached that point, can't be so ruthless."
Yi Chichi thought, this isn't about being unable to be ruthless, it's clearly about still holding onto some hope and longing for familial ties.
