The Su Family wasn't particularly wealthy. Although Zhu Zhhua was super strict with her daughter, she was also willing to invest heavily in her.
Otherwise, the original owner wouldn't have been nurtured so excellently.
But similarly, Su Li couldn't figure out just like the original owner couldn't, why her mother invested so much in her daughter, raised her to be so outstanding, better than most girls her age, just so she could have something presentable to talk about when she got married?
Thinking this way, no matter how you looked at it, it didn't seem like a loss?
It was like carefully cultivating a fine peony and then giving it away for free, pot and all.
The complexity of the human heart was something that, even though Su Li had been through many worlds and had seen much of human nature, she still hadn't completely understood even now.
