Chapter 840: Can Only Help This Far

Seeing Almond's face light up with a smile again, Qiao Duo'er felt relieved.

After all, it was the traditional preference for sons over daughters that haunted them. As soon as their family faced slight hardships, they thought of selling their daughter.

Selling their daughter could keep the family alive, enable them to find a bride for their son…

This really wasn't fair to the girls.

Everyone was a child; they all should have been the apple of their parents' eye.

If the little bun from her dream yesterday had been a girl, she would have offered her the best things in the world.

That included finding her a partner even better and more considerate than Tan Zhenghong.

Once in town, Qiao Duo'er was like a fish in water, with countless places to roam.

Initially, Almond thought her madam had important matters to attend to, so she followed obediently.

But they went from Duo Meifang to the Embroidery Room, and then to the carpenter's shop, finally visiting Lady Qin and Old lady Bai.
