Chuchu lowered her head, saying softly, "I can't go back."
Dani curiously asked, "Why? Did they force you?"
Chuchu shook her head, "If I go back, my younger brother won't be able to attend school."
In fact, it was not just because of this. The old woman also said that if she stayed at home and didn't marry, her two younger brothers would not be able to find wives, so she had to stay.
"Dani! Come in!"
Uncle Jiang shouted from the courtyard, "Close the door!"
Dani shrunk her neck and hurriedly entered her courtyard, closing the gate.
The girl left outside, her head hanging even lower.
After a while, Chuchu looked up at the tightly closed gate of the Jiang Family, sighed, and began to look around.
It was a spacious place with only three households.
But these three households were very affluent; their big houses were all built with green bricks and tiles, and even the courtyard walls were quite high, keeping whatever inside out of sight.
