"She was quite young at that time, and a girl at that. How could you be at ease letting her go out on her own?"
"At ease letting her go out alone…"
Song Xuejian muttered under his breath, resting on his cane, gazing up at the sky outside the pavilion.
"Back then, people were not as delicate as today. At sixteen or seventeen, they weren't considered young anymore. Quite a few of them were already married with kids."
Lin Yi nodded thoughtfully, "So at that time, you were okay with her working outside, right?"
"This…"
Song Xuejian paused, "Not exactly, as you said, she was still a young girl, I naturally had my worries."
"Ultimately, how did you agree to it?"
"Actually, it wasn't anything special. I remember one night, she came back and told me she didn't want to stay in the village anymore and wanted to work outside. She mentioned that Yanjing had more opportunities to make money and wanted to go there and then she just left."
"Didn't you stop her? Or give her any advice?"
