A Request

The moment of realization hit Lin Cheng like a sudden bolt of lightning. He may not have fully grasped the depth of it, but Gu Zi understood completely.

Her husband, Su Shen—was truly thinking of her. In his own way, he was trying to provide her with more support, more foundation. To do that, he had been carefully nurturing Lin Cheng, giving him the opportunity to grow and take on the responsibilities of the Lin family.

It wasn't just about securing a steady job for Lin Cheng at the pig farm—it was about grooming him, pushing him to become stronger, to rise up as a capable man who could shoulder the burdens of the family.

The more Lin Cheng succeeded, the less Gu Zi would need to worry about her own family back home. And, perhaps most importantly, the smaller the gap between the Lin family and the Su family, the straighter her back would be.
