To ensure a more accurate reading, Granny Xunzi slowly recounted her son's story.
Her family lived in a remote village. Though they were poor, they were a loving family, and living together, they felt happy enough.
When her son was six, her husband died in an accident, but his employer at the construction site offered no compensation.
From then on, the granny was both mother and father to him, raising him through great hardship. As time went on, their lives gradually started to look up.
When her son grew up, he planned to go work in the city. The granny supported him wholeheartedly, giving him all of her savings.
Not long after, her son brought home a girlfriend.
The granny was overjoyed, thinking her son had finally grown up and was ready to settle down and live a stable life. Little did she know, this was the beginning of her nightmare...
Under the pretext of starting a business to make a fortune, the girlfriend took her son to work in Hainan.
