My daughter and I hadn't seen anyone from the Lin Family for a long time.
After their complete downfall, they were harassed daily by debt collectors, too distressed to show their faces, let alone seek us out.
Lin Yan's job was also affected; her superiors didn't dare let someone who abandoned her husband and daughter, someone full of lies, tarnish the company's image.
After she was dismissed, she couldn't even find a decent job and had to pick up trash and recyclables to earn some living expenses.
The in-laws sold everything they could to help the Little Brother-in-law and his wife repay their debts, but it was like a drop in the bucket, and the debts only grew larger.
The Little Brother-in-law had a big fight with his wife and they divorced, not wanting the child either.
The precious child they once cherished in their palms was now a burden no one wanted.
Yaozu's condition worsened quickly, and he ultimately couldn't pull through.
