She is truly unfortunate, having to work from a young age. Before she even reached ten, she could work as an adult laborer.

Tsks, that Lin Aiguo is known throughout our Qingshan Team for being slovenly and lazy, and even his sister isn't any good, all gaudy without a serious demeanor! I never thought their family would be interested in swapping marriages with such people..."
