"Doesn't the Base Commander care?"
"I didn't tell him, how could he care? If he did, he might give me money right away, but then others might band together and refuse to let me work. How would I feed the child then? Ordinary families don't need a chef, and only the rich district needs cooks. I can't go to the front lines to kill Mutant Beasts with my child in tow, and they don't need as many people on the front lines now anyway."
"When her mother was alive, I could go to the front lines to provide for the two of them, no problem. After her mother died, I had to take care of the child by myself, and many places wouldn't take me. I left the child with others for a while, and she almost got lost. I had no choice but to step back and find my own way to survive."
Li Pan listened to Gu Ye and sighed helplessly.
"It's not easy for anyone."
