When Tang Ye returned to Shui Qingdie's home, he found Shui Qingdie and Little Dragonfly sitting on a small wooden stool by the doorstep, chatting. Tang Ye heard them talk about sending Little Dragonfly to school – a topic he had previously discussed with Yu Fu on their way to Ganoderma Mountain. Yu Fu told him that, though Shui Qingdie was beautiful, she was barely literate because she never went to school, and she was determined to let Little Dragonfly receive an education. Her marriage prospect had failed precisely because Shui Qingdie demanded that the other party ensure Little Dragonfly's future schooling, which the other party refused to agree to.
Upon hearing this, Tang Ye didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It sounded somewhat amusing, but on closer consideration, it was also deeply saddening.
